Study Notes
Drugs Causing Lethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, are antibiotics
- These drugs fatally inhibit bacterial protein synthesis
- By inhibiting protein synthesis, these drugs contribute to bacterial cell death
Drugs Causing Nonlethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Tetracyclines are a class of antibiotics
- These drugs hinder bacterial protein synthesis
- Inhibition of protein synthesis by tetracyclines does not kill bacteria
- Instead, they merely impede bacterial proliferation
Drugs that Cause Lethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, directly interfere with bacterial protein production.
- This disruption leads to the death of the bacteria.
Drugs that Cause Nonlethal Inhibition of Protein Synthesis
- Tetracyclines inhibit bacterial protein synthesis but do not kill the bacteria.
- Tetracyclines slow down bacterial growth by preventing the production of proteins necessary for replication.
Lethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, directly interfere with bacterial protein production.
- This interference leads to cell death.
Nonlethal Inhibition of Protein Synthesis
- Tetracyclines inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.
- This inhibition does not directly kill bacteria.
- Instead, it hinders bacterial growth and reproduction.
Lethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, directly interfere with bacterial protein production, leading to bacterial cell death.
Nonlethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Tetracyclines inhibit bacterial protein synthesis but do not kill bacteria.
- Instead, tetracyclines prevent bacterial cell division and growth.
Lethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, directly interfere with bacterial protein synthesis, resulting in bacterial death.
Nonlethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis
- Tetracyclines inhibit bacterial protein synthesis, but do not kill the bacteria.
- Tetracyclines prevent bacterial multiplication, but do not directly lead to cell death.
