Penecillins

b-lactam antibiotic; interfere with development of cell wall, making bacteria more prone to lysis from osmotic imbalances

Cephalosporins

b-lactam antibiotic; interfere with development of cell wall, making bacteria more prone to lysis from osmotic imbalances

Aminoglycosides

disrupt ribosomal production of essential proteins impeding bacterial cell division

Quinolones

inhibition of or interference with bacterial enzyme DNA-gyrase

Tetracyclines

bind to bacterial ribosomes and prevent tRNA from linking to the ribosome, disrupting protein synthesis

Sulfonamides

interference with folic acid metabolism

Lincosamides

inhibit bacterial protein synthesis

Macrolides

inhibit bacterial protein synthesis

Chloramphenicol

binds to ribosomes to disrupt bacterial protein synthesis

Florfenicol

inhibit bacterial protein synthesis

Amphotericin B

binds and damages ergosterol on the fungal cell membrane, causing damage and allowing critical cellular components to leak from the fungal c

Nystatin

binds and damages ergosterol on the fungal cell membrane, causing damage and allowing critical cellular components to leak from the fungal c

Ketoconazole

interferes with the fungal synthesis of ergosterol, a constituent of fungal cell membranes
