Summary
This document describes drugs that cause lethal and non-lethal inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. Aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, are examples of drugs that cause lethal inhibition by halting protein production, leading to bacterial cell death. In contrast, tetracyclines are non-lethal inhibitors that hinder bacterial protein synthesis but do not immediately kill the bacteria. Instead, they impede bacterial proliferation.

**Drugs that Cause Lethal Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis ** - Aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin) fatally inhibit the process of bacterial protein production to contribute to cell death. **Drugs that Cause Nonlethal Inhibition of Protein Synthesis ** - Drugs like tetracyclines hinder the synthesis of bacterial proteins but do not kill the bacteria outright; they merely impede bacterial proliferation.
