- Many antibiotics used in modern medicine are compounds made by fungi that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. Describe the specific effect of the following antimicrobial drugs: (i) Chloramphenicol (ii) RifamycinIdentify a correct statement about tetracyclines. Multiple Choice They have a narrow antibacterial spectrum. They are bactericidal in nature. They bind irreversibly to bacterial ribosomes to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. Their widespread use has allowed the emergence of bacterial resistance.Explain how you can determine a suitable antimicrobial for somone who has E. Coli. Indicate a potential antimicrobial drug that could be administered to the patient. Explain why you chose this antimicrobial drug
