| Floxacillin |
Flucloxacillin is an isoxazolyl penicillin of the ฮฒ-lactam group of antibiotics which exerts a bactericidal effect upon many Gram-positive organisms including ฮฒ-lactamase-producing staphylococci and streptococci. |
|
| Minocycline |
Minocycline is a semi-synthetic derivative of tetracycline. Minocycline inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria. In common with other tetracyclines it is primarily bacteriostatic and has a similar spectrum of activity to other tetracyclines. |
|
| Tetracycline |
Tetracyclines are taken up into sensitive bacterial cells by an active transport process. Once within the cell they bind reversibly to the 30S subunit of the ribosome, preventing the binding of aminoacyl transfer RNA and inhibiting protein synthesis and hence cell growth. |
