Question 1 of 5
Which class of antibiotic is associated with cartilage toxicity and rupture of the Achilles tendon?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fluoroquinolones. Fluoroquinolones have been associated with cartilage toxicity and rupture of the Achilles tendon due to their mechanism of action, which can interfere with collagen synthesis. This can lead to tendon weakness and increased risk of rupture. Aminoglycosides (
B) are known for causing nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, not tendon issues. Penicillins (
C) target bacterial cell walls and do not have a direct effect on tendons. Sulfonamides (
D) are associated with allergic reactions and not tendon toxicity.
