- Binds to L-ala-D ala subunits and prevents their insertion into the cell wall.
Aminoglycocide
ksng
- Kanamycin
- Streptomycin
- Neomycin
- Gentamicin
- Inhibits Protein synthesis:
- Binds to the 30s subunit of the bacterial ribosome blocking the tRna and the addition of new amino acids.
Macrolide
eac
- Erythromycin
- Azithromycin
- clarithromycin
- Inhibits protein synthesis:
- Binds to the 50s subunit of the bacterial ribosome blocking the translocation of the ribosome
Tetracycline
tmd
- Tetracycline
- Minocycline
- Doxycycline
- Inhibits protein synthesis:
- Binds to the 30s subuinit of the bacterial ribosome blocking the tRna and the addition of new amino acids.
Fluoroquinolone
clo
- Ciprofloxacin
- Levofloxacin
- Ofloxacin
- Inhibits nucleic acid synthesis:
- Blocks Dna gyrase, the enzyme responsible for nicking and sealing bacterial Dna during supercoiling.
