Which of the following directly pertain to inhibition of cellular protein synthesis by antimicrobial agents

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inhibition of cellular protein synthesis by antimicrobial agents can be achieved by interfering with the accurate translation of mRNA message, such as by blocking the ribosome or inhibiting tRNA binding. Option A is incorrect as loss of cytoplasm is not directly related to protein synthesis inhibition. Option B is incorrect as binding and inhibition of RNA polymerase would affect transcription, not translation. Option C is incorrect as molecular mimicry pertains more to evasion of host immune system by pathogens rather than inhibition of cellular protein synthesis.
