Which of the following antibiotics directly target protein translation systems? Question 6 options: Streptomycin Ciprofloxacin (cipro) Penicillin Tetracycline
Added by James G.
Step 1
- Streptomycin: An aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, interfering with protein synthesis. - Ciprofloxacin (cipro): A fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, affecting DNA Show more…

Part A Using the information provided in the following table that highlights several antibiotics and their mode of action, which phase of translation is inhibited: initiation, elongation, or termination? Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all: Antibiotic 1. Streptomycin Phase of translation elongation initiation termination 2. Chloramphenicol 3. Tetracycline 4. Erythromycin 5. Kasugamycin 6. Thiostrepton Part B What other components of the translational machinery could be targeted to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis? Select all that apply: initiation factors (IFs) elongation factors (EFs) release factors (RFs)
