Anti Microbial Chemotherapy Flashcards
Neoplasm means
A abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should
Two types of neoplasm
Beningn: it grows but does not spread ( non cancerous)
Malignant:: it grows as well as affect nearby tissues ( cancerous)
What is chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to remove any bacteria that causes disease or abnormal growth of cells
Pharmacology is the
Study of the effect of drugs on the body
Analgesia is a drug
That inhibit pain
Example of analgesia
Morphine sulphate
An antibiotic
Is a substance produced by a specie to inhibit the growth of another specie
Sulphonamides are
Anti folate drugs
Anti folate drugs does what
Prevents the use of folate to produce dna in bacterial cell
Anti folate drugs include
Sulphonamides and trimethoprim
Class 1 use in biochemical therapy
Prevents the production of atp in bacteria by using up glucose and other carbon sources
Class 2 biochemical therapy uses
Using of drugs that inhibits an important process majorly in bacteria without affecting the human
Bacteriocidial and bacteriostatic drugs
Bacteriocidial : reduces the quantity of the bacteria by killing it
Bacteriostatic: maintains the number but inhibits an important process in the growth of the bacteria
Penicillin on bacteria
Inhibits the production of bacteria cell wall ( Bacteriocidial)
Chemotherapy acts on the principal of
Selective toxicity
Gram negative bacteria
Has one layer peptidoglycan ( cell wall)
Gram positive
Has many cell layer ( peptidoglycan )
Folate synthesis is what type of therapy
Class 2 reaction
Class 3 therapy includes
Cell wall utilization
Ribosome( protein) synthesis
Nucleic acid synthesis
Polymixins are
Detergents that disrupts the membrane of bacteria
Azoles kill fungal cells by
Inhibiting ergosterol
Benzimidazoles and vinca alkaloids drugs on bacteria
Target microtubules and micro filament
What is super infections
The appearance of another bacteria during the chemotherapy of another
