| TYPES OF ANTIBIOTICS | |
| Agents that inhibit synthesis of bacterial cell walls | |
| Structurally
Similar: Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Structurally dissimilar: Cyclosporine, vancomycin, bacitracin and the imidazole antifungal agents (miconazole, ketoconazole, and clotrimazole) |
|
| Agents
that act directly on cell membrane of the microorganism, affecting permeability
and leading to leakage of intracellular compounds Detergents, polymyxin and colistimethane, amphotericin B |
|
| Agents
that affect function of 30 S or 50 S ribosomal subunits to cause a reversible
inhibition of protein synthesis (Bacteriostatic) Chloramphenicol, tetracycline erythromycin and clidamycin |
|
| Agents
that bind to 30 S ribosomal subunit and alter protein synthesis (Bactericidal) Aminoglycosides |
|
| Agents
that affect nucleic acid metabolism Quinolones |
|
| The
antimetabolites Trimethoprim and sulphonamides |
|
| Nucleic
acid analogs (Inhibit viral enzymes essential for DNA Synthesis) zidovudine, genciclovir, vidarabine, and acyclovir |
