Question: 1 / 1820

What type of antibiotics are aminoglycosides?

DNA/RNA Inhibitors

Protein Synthesis Inhibitors

Aminoglycosides are a type of antibiotics that work by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria. They bind to the bacterial ribosome, causing misreading of the mRNA and ultimately leading to inhibition of protein synthesis. This mechanism of action makes them effective against a wide range of gram-negative bacteria.

Options A, C, and D are not correct. DNA/RNA Inhibitors, Folic Acid Synthesis Inhibitors, and Cell Wall Inhibitors are different classes of antibiotics with distinct mechanisms of action.
