Abx Flashcards
Tigacycline: drug class and MOA
-tetracycline - protein synthesis inhibitor
-MOA: Enter cell via passive diffusion or active transport. Reversibly bind ribosomal 30S subunit and prevent
binding of tRNA and protein synthesis. May also alter cytoplasmic membranes to increase leakage; inhibit mammalian protein synthesis at high levels. Bacteriostatic, can be bactericidal with high doses, susceptible organisms.
Delafloxacin: drug class and MOA
- fluoroquinolone
- MOA: DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV inhibitors. Bacterial chromosome must be tightly supercoiled to preserve space within the cell. DNA-gyrase (topoisomerase II) removes the excess positive supercoiling that builds up ahead of the DNA replication fork, as a result of enzymes replicating DNA. Without this, excess positive supercoiling would ultimately arrest DNA replication. Topoisomerase IV: helps separate the daughter DNA molecules.
Daptomycin: Drug class and MOA
- Cyclic lipopeptide - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- Binds to bacterial membranes causes a rapid depolarization of the cell membrane (potassium efflux) inhibition of protein, DNA and RNA synthesis and cell death
Cefotetan: drug class and MOA
- 2nd gen cephalosporin - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA PCN
Telavancin: drug class and MOA
- Glycopeptide - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA: Binds to d-ala-d-ala in Stage 1, prevents further growth of peptidoglycan and cross-linking
Ticarcillin and clavulanic acid: drug class and MOA
- PCN and B lactamase inhibitor - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA PCN
Fosfomycin: Drug class and MOA
-Enolpyruvyl transferase inhibitor - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
-Inactivation of the enzyme enolpyruvyl transferase blocks
formation of UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid blocks first steps in bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Ertapenem: drug class and MOA
- Carbapenem - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA PCN
Tobramicin: drug class and MOA
- Aminoglycosides
- MOA: Passive diffusion across outer membrane via porin channels → active transport across cell membrane (enhanced by cell wall active drugs) → binds 30S ribosome; interfere in initiation of peptide formation and induce misreading of mRNA → irreversible inhibition of protein synthesis. Bactericidal
Tetracycline: drug class and MOA
-tetracycline - protein synthesis inhibitor
-MOA: Enter cell via passive diffusion or active transport. Reversibly bind ribosomal 30S subunit and prevent
binding of tRNA and protein synthesis. May also alter cytoplasmic membranes to increase leakage; inhibit mammalian protein synthesis at high levels. Bacteriostatic, can be bactericidal with high doses, susceptible organisms.
Demeclocycline: drug class and MOA
-tetracycline - protein synthesis inhibitor
-MOA: Enter cell via passive diffusion or active transport. Reversibly bind ribosomal 30S subunit and prevent
binding of tRNA and protein synthesis. May also alter cytoplasmic membranes to increase leakage; inhibit mammalian protein synthesis at high levels. Bacteriostatic, can be bactericidal with high doses, susceptible organisms.
Aztreonam: drug class and MOA
- Monobactam - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA PCN
Gentamicin: drug class and MOA
- Aminoglycosides
- MOA: Passive diffusion across outer membrane via porin channels → active transport across cell membrane (enhanced by cell wall active drugs) → binds 30S ribosome; interfere in initiation of peptide formation and induce misreading of mRNA → irreversible inhibition of protein synthesis. Bactericidal
Doripenem: drug class and MOA
- Carbapenem - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA PCN
Nafcillin: drug class and MOA
- B lactam resistant PCN - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA PCN
Neropenem: drug class and MOA
- Carbapenem - cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- MOA PCN
