Antibiotic that binds 30S subunit of bacterial ribosome; is bacteriostatic (Lecture: Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance, 2/12/02)

An antibiotic originally produced by Streptomyces viridifaciens, but used mostly in synthetic form. It is an inhibitor of aminoacyl-tRNA binding during protein synthesis.

An antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by preventing aminoacyl tRNA from binding to ribosomes. There are several possible mechanisms of Tetracycline resistance. TetR encoded by Tn 10 and pBR plasmids is due to a membrane protein that actively transports tetracycline out of the cell.

an antibiotic (trade name Achromycin) derived from microorganisms of the genus Streptomyces and used broadly to treat infections

Antibiotic produced by the actinomycete, streptomyces which inhibits the binding of +RNA to bacterial rebosomes which can be used against both gram-negative + gram-positive bacterial infections.
