Which of the following classes of antimicrobial drugs inhibits protein synthesis?
Select ALL correct answers -- there is more than one!
Aminoglycosides |
Oxazolidinones |
Nitroimidazoles |
Chloramphenicol |
Pyrazinamides |
Fluoroquinolones |
Aminoglycosides work by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis
Oxazolidinones also inhibit the protein synthesis by binding to ribosome
Nitroimidazoles kills bacteria by inhibiting nucleic acid bio synthesis
Chloramphinicol works by inhibiting peptidyl transferase activity hence inhibit protein synthesis.
Pyrazinamides inhibit pyrazinamidase enzyme that converts pyrazinamides to active form pyrazinoic acid
Fluoroquinolones works by inhibiting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV and inhibit protein synthesis
So option A,B and D are correct.
