Description: Reversible Inhibitors in bacteria : These antibiotics are bacteriostatic . Tetracycline bind to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosome and so inhibit attachment of aminoacyl tRNA to the A site of ribosomes. Chloramphenicol inhibits the peptidyl transeferase acitivity of bacterial ribosomes. Erythromycin (macrolides) and clindamycin prevent the translocation process.
