**Describe mechanistically how an antibiotic may interfere with transcription of a bacterial genome. / Beskriv en mekanism för hur antibiotika kan störa transkription av ett bakteriellt genom.**

**Answer**

Antibiotics can work as repressors. They can bind in to the operator region of an operon and thereby inhibiting the transcription of the genes that the operon contains.
