Which of the Antibiotics Inhibit Protein Synthesis in Susceptible Bacteria

Question

Which of the antibiotics inhibit protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria
A)Amikacin
B)Tyrothricin
C)Vancomycin
D)Cephalexin

Accepted Answer

Both Amikacin and Tyrothricin are aminoglycoside antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the bacterial ribosome and interfering with the process of translation. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that acts by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacteria, while Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins.
