Mechanism of action

Antibiotics are a broad class of antimicrobial agents that target essential bacterial processes. Depending on the specific antibiotic (e.g., beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, macrolides), they may disrupt peptidoglycan synthesis in the cell wall, inhibit ribosomal protein synthesis, interfere with DNA/RNA replication, or disrupt metabolic pathways unique to bacteria, thereby eliminating the infection.
