Term
Pencillins/cephalosporins/vancomycin:
Definition
inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis (contents leak out).
Term
Fluoroquinolones:
Definition
interferes with DNA synthesis of bacteria which is needed for bacterial growth and reproduction.
Term
Aminoglycosides:
Definition
penetrate the bacterial cell wall and bind to ribosomes. Bacteria cannot synthesize proteins necessary for the function and replication.
Term
Macrolides and Ketolides:
