Antibiotic classification refers to the categorization of antibiotics based on their chemical structure, mechanism of action, and spectrum of activity. Antibiotics are drugs that are used to treat bacterial infections by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria.

1. Cell wall synthesis inhibitors: These antibiotics target the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial growth and survival. Examples of antibiotics in this class include penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and monobactams.

2. Protein synthesis inhibitors: These antibiotics target the ribosome, which is responsible for synthesizing proteins in bacteria. Examples of antibiotics in this class include macrolides, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, and chloramphenicol.

3. DNA synthesis inhibitors: These antibiotics target the enzymes responsible for replicating bacterial DNA. Examples of antibiotics in this class include quinolones and metronidazole.

4. RNA synthesis inhibitors: These antibiotics target the enzymes responsible for transcribing bacterial RNA. Rifampin is an example of an antibiotic in this class.

5. Metabolic inhibitors: These antibiotics target the metabolic pathways that bacteria use to synthesize essential molecules. Examples of antibiotics in this class include sulfonamides and trimethoprim.

6. Precision Therapeutics Leading the Way: The landscape of Dystonia drugs is evolving with precision therapies. Imagine treatments tailored to the individual's genetic makeup, offering more targeted and effective relief.
