How does antibiotics inhibit bacteria?

Question

If you have any idea can you just note them down please?

Thanks

Answer 1

Antibiotics interfere with the ability of bacteria to produce proteins. In other words, it enter the ribosome and disrupts this process. In some cases in interferes with the construction of peptidoglycan ( a component of bacterial cell wall). This mechanism depend on the type of antibiotic.

Answer 2

An antibiotic is a drug that kills or prevents the growth of bacteria. The effectiveness of individual antibiotics varies with the location of the infection, the ability of the antibiotic to reach the site of infection, and the ability of the bacteria to resist or inactivate the antibiotic. Some antibiotics actually kill the bacteria (bactericidal), whereas others merely prevent the bacteria from multiplying (bacteriostatic) so that the host's immune system can overcome them.

Answer 3

Antibiotics inhibit bacteria by various means, they mainly use the difference between eukaryotic & prokaryotic cells to kill the pathogen witout affecting host.
Aminoglycosides i.e. streptomycin group of antibiotics inhibt protein synthesis. Beta lactams i.e. penicillin & related inhibit cellwall synthesis of bacteria.
Mitomycin inhibits NA synthesis.
Some may act by mimicing essential nutrient e.g. sulfa drugs are similar to PABA hence can interfere with Folic acid synthesis.
These are just few examples.

Answer 4

some inhibit certain enzymes leading to cell death, and others block efflux pumps so the cell blows up. each works differently

Answer 5

Stops the proteins from being made.
