Antibiotics

Antibiotics are drugs that are specifically designed to inhibit the growth or reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria or to kill them. They play a crucial role in the treatment of bacterial infections and have revolutionised modern medicine since their discovery.

Various antibiotics and their areas of application:

Cycloheximide

Cycloheximide acts as an inhibitor of translation in eukaryotes. It prevents protein biosynthesis at the ribosomes, which inhibits the growth of eukaryotic cells and ultimately leads to their death.

Kanamycin

Kanamycin is an antibiotically active agent consisting mainly of kanamycin A, accompanied by small amounts of variants B and C. It is mainly used locally, particularly for the treatment of eye infections.
