Question
The following bacteriostatic drugs inhibit protein synthesis, except(1 Point)Chloramphenicol, clindamycin,Ketolides, erythromycin and other macrolidesAminoglycosides, clindamycin, streptograminsLinezolid, mupirocin, tetracyclin
Solution
The bacteriostatic drugs that inhibit protein synthesis include Chloramphenicol, Clindamycin, Ketolides, Erythromycin and other macrolides, Linezolid, Mupirocin, and Tetracycline. However, Aminoglycosides are not bacteriostatic, they are bactericidal. This means they kill bacteria directly, rather than merely inhibiting their growth or reproduction. Therefore, the correct answer is "Aminoglycosides, clindamycin, streptogramins".
