Can target 70s but toxic to mitochondria
inhibit peptide bond formation
attachment of tRNA
misreading of mRNA
Chloramphenicol
Protein synthesis inhibitor
bacteriostatic
Inhibits peptide bond formation
Broad spectrum diffuses easily into tissues, cheap
Toxicity- neurotoxic, reduced bone marrow function leads to anemia and leukopenia
Aminoglycosides
Protein Synthesis inhibitors
bactericidal
inhibit synthesis, cause misreading of mRNA
Gram negatives
Toxicity- Auditor nerve damage kidney damage
Tetracyclines
Protein synthesis inhibitor
bacteriostatic
inhibit binding of tRNA
Broad spectrum including intracell pathogend
(Rickettsia, chlamydia, mycoplasma
Discolored teeth in children, superinfection of GI, liver damage in pregnant women
Macrolides
Inhibit protein synthesis
bacteriostatic
inhibits peptide chain elongation
Gram positives
Streptogramins
Protein synthesis inhibitor
bacteriostatic
inhibits peptide chain elongation
gram positive only
Issues- Expensive, high incidence of adverse side effects
Oxazolidinones
Protein synthesis inhibitor
bacteriostatic
inhibit ribosomal subunit assembly
Gram positives
last defense for vancomycin resistant
