bacteriotstatic

A

no overt killing
-therapeutic success dep on host immunity, buy time for host
-non life threatening

Q

broad spectrum

A

cover large variety of bacteria
-useful for life threatening to cover unknown cause of infection

can disrupt normal microbiota

Q

narrow spectrum

A

cover only small subset of bacteria
-avoid disrupting normal microbiota
-have to id causative agent to be confident

Q

causes of resistance crisis

A
  1. overuse and inapprop prescribing
  2. extensive use in agriculture
  3. lack of discovery/development

Q

minimum inhibitory concentration

MIC

A

to test susceptibilty- lowest antib concentratin that inhibits growth

in broth culture, culture on agar (kirby bauer, E test)

Q

agar based methods

MIC

A
  1. bacteria spread evenly on agar
  2. paper disc with antib (kirby bauer disk diffusion) OR paper strip with concentration gradient
  3. allow grow for 24-48 hr
  4. measure zone of inhibition
18
Q

broth culture MIC and MBC

A

multi tubes with decreasing amount of antibs
-can visually see minimum concnetration that worked

then do MBC to see how many actually died (rather than just inhibited)

19
Q

breakpoint tables

A

MIC values compared
-specific to each org/antib

categorized as suspectible, intermed, resistant

20
Q

susceptible

A

therapeutic success is likely
-inhibits growth is usually achieved

21
Q

intermed

A
22
Q

resistant

A
23
Q

dec influx + active efflux

mechanism

A

drug pumped out
or not come in by dec porin permeabilty

24
Q

targetting

mechanism

A

-modify
-bypass
-protect
-or just no target in general

25
Q

inactivating

mechanism

A
26
Q

cell wall active

A

disrupt peptidoglycan synthesis
-effective vs actively dividing bact

27
Q

membrane active

A

disrupts membrane integrity
-vs resting and actively dividing bact

28
Q

beta-lactam antibs

A

beta lactam ring
-irreversibly bind transpeptidase and prevent cross linking

penicillin
cephalosporins

29
Q

penicillins

A
30
Q

cephalosporins

A
31
Q

beta-lactam resistance mechanisms

A
  1. dec uptake by mutating prins
  2. antibiotic degrad
    3.
32
Q

beta-lactamase inhibitors

A

irrev bind and inhibit action of susceptible beta-lactamase
-inactive the resistant mech

always given with beta-lactams

33
Q

vancomycin

A

prevents crosslinking and polymerization of peptid chain by bind D-ala
-but NOT a beta-lactam

resistance by changing D-ala to D-lactate

34
Q

bacitracin

A

inhib peptid syn by interfere with dephos the lipid carrier (bactoprenol)
-no more new NAM-NAG units added

35
Q

tetracyclines

A
36
Q

aminoglycosides

A
37
Q

macrolides

A
38
Q

quinolones

A

inhibit DNA replication via gyrases

ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin

39
Q

rifampin/rifabutin

A
40
Q

metronidazole

A
