Mechanism of action

IP antibiotics refer to a broad category of conventional antimicrobial agents that have been in clinical use for decades. These drugs typically work through well-characterized mechanisms such as inhibition of bacterial ribosomal protein synthesis (e.g., aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, macrolides), disruption of bacterial cell wall synthesis (e.g., beta-lactams), or inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. The specific mechanism depends on the antibiotic class within this conventional portfolio.
