How tetracycline-class drug work

Tetracyclines slip inside bacteria and bind to the 30S part of their ribosome, the cell's protein-building machine. This blocks the bacteria from adding new amino acids, so they can't make the proteins they need to grow or multiply, letting the immune system clear the infection.
