1) macrolide
2) clindamycin
3) cholramphenicol
MOA for aminoglycosides
Binds 30s
Blocks tRNA from binding (step 1)
MOA for macrolides
binds 50s
Disrupts translocation to P site (Step 4)
MOA for tetracyclines
binds 30s
blocks tRNA from binding
(same as aminoglycosides)
MOA for clindamycin
binds 50s
prevents tRNA from binding and prevents translocation to P site
