Answers:
There are a lot of classes, here a overview:
Aminoglycosides: like tobramycin and streptomycin!.
they will inhibit the translocation of the mRNA of bacterias
Ansamycines: not used much, most in experimental state
Carbapenems: like meropenem not used much either
Cephalosporines
there is a first, second and third generation of these
first generation: like cefalozin
second generation: like cefoxitin
third generation: like ceftriaxone
they all work (just a bit differently) on the bacterial cell walls
Glycopeptides: like vancomycin
Macrolides: like azithromycin and clarithormycin
these are used a lot
Monobactams: not used usually
Penicillines: most common used like penincillin, amoxicillin!. They work on the bacterial cell walls
Polypeptides: not used a lot
Quinoles: like ciprofloxacin, they stop the DNA replication of bacterias
Sulfonamides: like trimethoprim
Tetracyclines: like doxycyclin, tetracyclin also work on mRNA of bacterias
Beta lactam
