antibiotics have different mode of action by which they act as therapeutic agents. Some of the modes of action by different antibiotics are mentioned below: 

Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibitors: 

Bacteria contain murein or peptidoglycan that is highly essential in maintaining the cell wall structure. Cell wall synthesis inhibitors such as beta-lactams, cephalosporins and glycopeptides block the ability of microorganisms to synthesize their cell wall by inhibiting the synthesis of peptidoglycan. 

Interfering with Protein Synthesis: 

These classes of antibiotics inhibit the protein synthesis machinery in the cell. Some examples include tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, aminoglycosides and macrolides. 

Cell Membrane Inhibitors: 

Antibiotics such as polymyxins disrupt the integrity and structure of cell membranes, thereby killing them. These set of antibiotics are mostly effective on gram negative bacteria because these are the bacteria that contain a definite cell membrane. 

Effect on Nucleic Acids: 

DNA and RNA are extremely essential nucleic acids present in every living cell. Antibiotics such as quinolones and rifamycins bind to the proteins that are required for the pro Jimcessing of DNA and RNA, thus blocking their synthesis and thereby affecting the growth of the cells. 

Competitive Inhibitors: 

Also referred to as anti-metabolites or growth factor analogs, these are antibiotics that competitively inhibit the important metabolic pathways occurring inside the bacterial cell. Important ones in this class are sulfonamides such as Gantrisin and Trimethoprim

Hope it helps ☺️

Cellular function occur attack a bacteria cell

Explanation:

  • Prevent microbes from developing and separating by meddling with supplement take-up (bacteriostatic)  
  • Eliminate microbes by upsetting cell divider (bacteriolytic)  
  • They are two systems by which the anti-toxin assaults the bacterial cells. One is by meddling with the microscopic organisms' capacity to fix its harmed DNA, by halting the microorganisms' capacity to make what it needs to develop new cells, and the other is by debilitating the microbes' cell divider until it blasts.
