ABX: MOA, MOR, Classes Flashcards
Which antibiotic classes inhibit cell wall formation?
- penicillins
- cephalosporins
- carbapenems
- monobactams
MOA of Vancomycin
inhibits cell wall formation at earlier step than beta-lactams
MOA of Fluoroquinolones
inhibit topoisomerases and DNA replication
MOA of TMP/SMX
-inhibit DNA, RNA, protein synthesis (blocks folate pathway)
Which antibiotic classes inhibit protein synthesis at the ribosomes?
- aminoglycosides
- tetracyclines
- clindamycin
MOA of Macrolides
-inhibit RNA-dependent protein synthesis
MOA of Metronidazole
-reactive metabolites damage DNA
Mech of Resistance of Penicillins
- beta lactamase
- altered penicillin binding proteins (PBPs)
Mech of Resistance of Cephalosporins
- beta lactamase
- altered penicillin binding proteins (PBPs)
Mech of Resistance of Carbapenem
antagonism with other beta lactams
Mech of Resistance of Vancomycin
-VRE/VRSA
Mech of Resistance of Fluoroquinolones
- efflux pump
- gene mutations
- decreased permeability
Mech of Resistance of TMP/SMX
gene mutations
Mech of Resistance of Aminoglycosides
- inactivation by enzymes
- decreased binding/uptake
Mech of Resistance of Tetracyclines
- decreased permeability
- efflux pump
- altered PBPs
