1
Q
vancomycin
A
Stops cell wall synthesis via peptidoglycan crosslinking.
Binds D-Ala-D-Ala so transpeptidase cannot bind.
2
Q
fluoroquinones
A
Stops DNA synthesis.
Binds DNA gyrase.
Cannot reseal ds breaks in DNA.
3
Q
rifampicin
A
Stops RNA synthesis.
Binds to RNAP, blocks elongation.
4
Q
tetracycline
A
Stops protein synthesis.
Prevents incoming tRNA from binding.

Q
chloramphenicol
A
Stops protein synthesis.
Prevents peptide bond formation.
