Correct Answer:
Option A - • Vancomycin inhibits cell-wall synthesis in gram-positive bacteria.
• Rifampin inhibits RNA synthesis.
• Puromycin is a naturally occurring aminonucleoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by ribosome catalyzed incorporation into the C-terminus of elongating nascent chains.
• Ciprofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase, but its bactericidal effects are not completely reversible by inhibitors of protein or RNA synthesis.
• Compounds with the pathway they inhibit–
Vancomycin – Cell
Rifampin – RNA synthesis
Puromycin – Protein synthesis
Ciprofloxacin – DNA synthesis
