1) Vancomycin
2) Streptomycin
3) Monobactam
4) Amoxicillin

Answer 1

Tetracycline and chloramphenicol are antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major class(es) of antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis are:

1. Tetracycline: Blocks the A site on the bacterial ribosome, preventing tRNA binding and inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria.
2. Chloramphenicol: Blocks peptidyl transfer, which affects the growth of the protein chain.
