Cell wall. Inhibits them.

25
Q

Mycotic acid inhibitors

A

For mycobacteria family only, non-toxic until enters the cells and converted to toxic form by catalase, resistance by turning off catalase and using peroxidase

Waxy layer many antibiotics cannot penetrate

26
Q

Inhibitors of protein synthesis
