ABX handout Flashcards
- cell wall synthesis inhibitor
- gram + bacteria and limited effect against gram -
- use for mutlidrug resistant bacteria- MRSA and endocarditis
vancomycin
- targets cell wall
- INHIBITS mycolic acid synthesis
- first line drug for TB (possibly nocardia as well?)
Isoniazid
- targets cell wall
- topical
- used against Gram+ Staph and Group A strep
- **nephortoxic if systemic. not well absorbed from GI
Bacitracin
basset hound in the videos
- targets RNA synthesis
- inhibits transcritption
- used against Mycobacterium tuberculosis,M. abium aerobic gram + cocci
- *hepatotoxic
Rifamycins
- examples include rifampin and rifabutin
- riffle in sketchy micro videos*
what can we use for tuberculosis?
RIPE Rifamycin Isoniazid Penicillin E?
- target protein synthesis
- translation inhibitor. Blocks 50 s ribosome and inhibits translocation
- anaerobic gram + or gram -
- common dental abs. r factor that methylates rRNA and prevents abs binding to ribosomes
Lincosaminedes
example is lincomycin and clindamycin
**clindamycin can lead to pseudomembranous colitis.
**i’ts not effective against aerobic gram -
- protein synthesis
- translation inhibitor. binds 50 s ribosome.
- works against gram + bacteria, other anaerobes not killed at oral admin levels
- can cause GI problems.
- oxotoxic
- use if penicillin allergy
Macrolides
exmamples are Erythromycin, clarithromycin, Azithromycin
**
what are the two classes that target protein synthesis by inhibiting translation? (block binding to 50 s ribosome)
Lincosamindes
Macrolides
-targets protein synthesis
-RNA polymerase inhibitor for C.Diff only.
3,500 K per treatment
macrocyclics
- targets protein syntheisis
- blocks 30 s ribosome
- use against gram + and gram - AEROBES
- Can damage the 8th cranial nerve
- nephrotoxic
Aminoglycosides.
Streptomycin
gentamycin
tobramycin
MY SINS
Toby is aMEAN protein filled gentleman and gives strep to both + and - people who love oxygen.
damages their 8th cranial nerve (auditory?) with all his BS
- targets protein synthesis
- blocks 50 s ribosome
- gram + not gram -
- MRSA, VRE
streptogramins.
“Grammy” is POSITIVE,
she looks like she’s 50 and keeps her house “PRISTINE” and eats lots of protein
these target protein synthesis
- translation inhibitor for 30s ribosome. stops the tRNA binding
- BROAD SPECTRUM. many gram + and gram -
- exmaples of Rickettsiae, mycoplasma and chlamydia
-tetracyclines
-include doxycyclin and minocycline
-damages developing teeth.
-30 year old protein filled cyclers.
-antacids, dairy, iron, and zinc can reduce the absorption
R factor that alters bacterial cell membrane
- new ABX
- target protein synthesis
- blocks tRNA binding to ribosome
- gram + drug resistant infections. MRSA and VRE
Oxaxolidinon
ZYvox and silvextro
-protein synthesis
-similar to tetracycline
blocks 30 s ribosome
-broad spectrum- gram pos and more gram - than tetracycline- mycobacterium
glycyclines
-tigecycline
best use for serious resistant staph infections
what could you use for serious resistant staph infections?
glycycline
