  2. Streptomycin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptomycin

    Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside. [3] It works by blocking the ability of 30S ribosomal subunits to make proteins, which results in bacterial death. [3] Albert Schatz first isolated streptomycin in 1943 from Streptomyces griseus. [5] [6] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [7]

  6. Antibiotic synergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_synergy

    A classic example of this effect is the interaction between β-lactams, which damage the bacteria cell membrane, and aminoglycosides, which inhibit protein synthesis. [1] The damage dealt to the cell wall by β-lactams allows more aminoglycoside molecules to be taken up into the cell than would otherwise be possible, enhancing cell damage. [1]

  7. List of β-lactam antibiotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_β-lactam_antibiotics

    This is a list of common β-lactam antibiotics—both administered drugs and those not in clinical use—organized by structural class. Antibiotics are listed alphabetically within their class or subclass by their nonproprietary name. If an antibiotic is a combination drug, both ingredients will be listed.

    Additional side effects can result from interaction with other drugs, such as the possibility of tendon damage from the administration of a quinolone antibiotic with a systemic corticosteroid. [51] Some antibiotics may also damage the mitochondrion, a bacteria-derived organelle found in eukaryotic, including human, cells. [52]

  9. Neomycin/polymyxin B/bacitracin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neomycin/polymyxin_B/baci...

    Neomycin belongs to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics and fights against Gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The antibiotic is often used to prevent risk of bacterial infections. [22] Aminoglycosides work by binding to bacterial RNA and changing the ability to produce proteins while exerting little to no effect on DNA. Thus ...
