Chloramphenicol is a chlorine-containing antibiotic produced by Streptomyces venezuelae. It has a wide spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative cocci and bacilli (including anaerobes), Rickettsia, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia. It inhibits prokaryotic protein synthesis by attaching to the 50S...

Protein translation inhibitor, peptidyl transferase inhibitor.

Description: Chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the biosynthesis of bacterial proteins. Chloramphenicol acts primarily on the 50S subunit of the bacterial 70S ribosome and is active against peptidyltransferases, inhibiting the formation of peptide bonds. Target:...

Protein translation inhibitor, peptidyl transferase inhibitor.

Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic agent against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The antibiotic enters into sensitive cells by active transport. Within the cell, chloramphenicol binds to the 50S Subunit of bacterial ribosomes and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. The attachment of...
