Post by: BreakFree on Feb 8, 2015
Bacterial protein synthesis inhibitors have selective toxicity because:
1. susceptible strains of bacteria are affected.
2. biochemical processes are the same.
3. human ribosomes are larger and denser than bacterial ribosomes.
4. antibacterial activity is broad-spectrum.
