Ciprofloxacin
High-Yield Explanation
Tigecycline is a newer drug in the class 'Glycylcyclines.' Its mechanism of action and most properties are similar to tetracyclines. However, it is resistant to the efflux pump (major mechanism of resistance against tetracyclines). Most protein synthesis inhibiting drugs (including tetracyclines and tigecycline) are bacteriostatic except aminoglycosides. Isoniazid, ciprofloxacin and daptomycin are bactericidal.
