These videos describe how antibiotics work to kill or stop the growth of bacteria
This video describes the classes of antibiotics and how Penicillin works to kill bacteria.
Next we examine antibiotics that affect the genetic material of the cell, RNA and DNA. We also describe how some antibiotics are bacteriostatic (stop growth) and others bacteriocidal (kill).
Many antibiotics target the ribosome which makes proteins. We’ll also describe some remaining antibiotics that target metabolism and the cell membrane.
