what does penicillin inhibit

What do penicillins have no effect on and why?

What are also beta-lactam antibiotics that operate in a manner related to that of penicillins but tend to be more resistant than penicillins to inactivation by beta-lactamases

Where are beta-lactamases found? (2)

How do aminoglycosides work?

_____ are bacteriostatic antibiotics that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis (translation). Erythromycin belongs to this class

bacteriocidal antibiotics, whose mechanism is the inhibition of topoisomerase II, a DNA gyrase

beta-lactam antibiotics that are relative resistant to hydrolysis of beta-lactamases and are often used as antibiotics of last resort

A tricyclic glycopeptide which is used against multi-drug resistant organisms and its mechanism is the inhibition of bacterial synthesis of cell wall phospholipids and the inhibition of peptidoglycan polymerization

Mechanism of antibiotic action include (4)

Resistance to antibiotics can be acquired by two major mechanisms:

Mechanisms of drug resistance can be classified into 5 main categories:
