Effects of Antibiotics on Translation

Antibiotic drugs interfere with the translation process of disease-causing bacteria in the human body. Hence the human body gets rid of diseases. Antibiotics such as tetracyclines interfere with the attachment of tRNA to ribosomes. Erythromycin interferes with movement of mRNA to ribosomes. Streptomycin disrupts translation initiation. Chloromycin disrupts peptide bond formation. Neomycin interferes with the interaction of mRNA and tRNA.
