    Incorrect

    • Which antibiotic acts by inhibiting protein synthesis?

      Your Answer: Cefuroxime

      Correct Answer: Erythromycin

      Explanation:

      Penicillins and cephalosporins (e.g. cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone) inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis through the inhibition of peptidoglycan cross-linking.

      Macrolides (e.g. erythromycin), tetracyclines, aminoglycosides and chloramphenicol act by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis.

      Sulphonamides (e.g. trimethoprim, co-trimoxazole) work by inhibiting the synthesis of nucleic acid
