Combi-Kel mode of action

Combi-Kel has bactericidal effect through  two mode of actions:

  1. Penicillin kills bacteria through binding of the beta-lactam ring to DD-transpeptidase that catalyzes the final step in cell wall biosynthesis, resulting  prevention the new cell wall formation. Penicillin is most effective against gram-positive bacteria that have thick cell walls containing high levels of peptidoglycan.
  2. Streptomycin works by Its binds to the small 16 S rRNA of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interfering with the binding of formyl-methionyl-tRNA to the 30S subunit. This leads eventual inhibition of protein synthesis and ultimately death of microbial cells.
