What is a common trait among drugs classified as lipoglycopeptides?

  1. Cover GN bacteria

  2. Oral administration

  3. Gram positive coverage similar to Vancomycin

  4. Used for UTI treatment primarily

The correct answer is: Gram positive coverage similar to Vancomycin

Drugs classified as lipoglycopeptides, such as Telavancin and Dalbavancin, share a common trait of providing gram-positive coverage similar to Vancomycin. This is because lipoglycopeptides are a subgroup of glycopeptide antibiotics and act similarly in terms of their mechanism of action and spectrum of activity against gram-positive bacteria. While options A, B, and D are not common traits among drugs classified as lipoglycopeptides, option C stands out as the correct choice due to the similarity in gram-positive coverage.
