Q

how do these three antibiotics work

Aminoglycosides
Tetracyclines
Macrolides

A

Aminoglycosides:
A “initiates” the alphabet–>aminoglycosides inhibit formation of initiation complex

Tetracyclines:
prevent attachment of ammoniacal-Trna

Macrolides:
macroSLIDES–>inhibit protein synthesis by blocking translocation
