The document discusses a new class of antibiotics called Brötz-Oesterhelt that function by dysregulating bacterial proteolytic machinery. It provides a table comparing the mode of action and targets of several classes of antibiotics, including fluoroquinolones, oxazolidinones, aminoglycosides, tetracyclins, vancomycin, and beta-lactams. The table indicates their effects on processes like DNA replication, protein synthesis, and cell wall formation.
