brief description of ampicillin, kanamycin, tetracycline and what are their sites of action/targets?(i.e. protein synthesis? ,DNA synthesis?,cell wall?)

Solutions

Expert Solution

. Ampicillin

It is a penicillin antibiotic used to prevent infections: pneumonia, meningitis, gonorrhoea, bladder infections etc. It was the first "broad spectrum" penicillin, comparatively less toxic than other antibiotics and that are able to penetrate Gram-positive and as well as some Gram-negative bacteria.

Sites of action - Cell Wall

. Kanamycin

Ampicillin are used to treat severe bacterial infections and tuberculosis by killing or preventing the growth of bacteria. It belongs to the aminoglycoside family of medications that works by blocking the protein productions required for bacterial survival.

Sites of action - Protein synthesis

. Tetracycline

Tetracycline are used to treat acne, cholera, brucellosis, syphilis, plague, malaria etc. They works by preventing the growth and spreading of bacteria and will not work for flu, colds or other viral infections.

Sites of action - Protein synthesis
