The most important mechanism by which tetracycline antibiotics exert antimicrobial action is:
A. They chelate Ca2+ ions and alter
permeability of bacterial cell membrane
B. They bind to 30S ribosomes and inhibit
bacterial protein synthesis
C. They bind to 50S ribosomes and interfere
with translocation of the growing peptide
chain in the bacteria
D. They interfere with DNA mediated RNA synthesis in bacteria
