Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Penicillin is a β-lactam antibiotic that inhibits cell wall synthesis in bacteria by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and interfering with peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to cell lysis and death. Tetracycline (A) inhibits protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes, chloramphenicol (C) blocks peptide bond formation in protein synthesis, and erythromycin (D) inhibits translocation during protein synthesis.
