Antibiotic Site of action
Streptomycin inhibits translation initiation; binds 30S subunit
Chloramphenicol inhibits elongation during translation; binds 50S
Tetracycline inhibits translation; prevents aminoacyl tRNA binding
Kanamycin inhibits translation; binds 30S and prevents
translocation
Rifamycin inhibits RNA synthesis; binds to b’ subunit of RNA
polymerase
