The summary outlines four common antibiotic mechanisms of action: weakening cell walls (penicillin, cephalosporins), interfering with metabolic reactions (sulfonamides), inhibiting protein synthesis (tetracyclines, streptomycin), and making holes in the cell surface membrane (polymyxins).
O resumo descreve quatro mecanismos de ação comuns de antibióticos: enfraquecer a parede celular (penicilina, cefalosporinas), interferir em reações metabólicas (sulfonamidas), inibir a síntese de proteínas (tetraciclinas, estreptomicina) e criar poros na membrana celular (polimixinas).
