Newman · Answer 1

The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are substances that kill bacteria (bactericidal effect) such as penicillin. They are also characterized by generating inhibition of bacterial growth (bacteriostatic effect). They also act by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. They can also inhibit transcription (they act on the beta subunit of the enzyme RNA polymerase DNA dependent) and translation of bacterial proteins (by binding of the 30S or 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome).
