(Y40.2) Chloramphenicol group

The chloramphenicol group of antibiotics works by inhibiting the production of proteins in bacteria, thus preventing them from growing and reproducing. this group of antibiotics is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including typhoid fever, meningitis, and certain types of pneumonia. the most common side effects associated with this group of antibiotics include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash.

Chloramphenicol group is a group of antibiotics derived from the bacterium streptomyces venezuelae. these antibiotics are effective against a wide variety of bacteria, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and have a broad spectrum of activity. the mechanism of action of chloramphenicol is to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50s subunit of the ribosome, preventing peptidyl transferase from catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids of the nascent peptide chain. this inhibition of protein synthesis leads to cell death, ultimately leading to the clearance of the infection.
