bacterial ribosomes

What Antibiotics Target Ribosomes? The majority of known compounds target the elongation cycle, including all of the clinically important antibiotic classes: the aminoglycosides, chloramphenicols, fusidic acids, lincosamides What antibiotics used inhibit the ribosome? Aminoglycoside antibiotics have an affinity for the 30S ribosome subunit. Streptomycin, one of the most commonly used aminoglycosides, interferes with the creation
