Antibacterial/fungal/viral Flashcards
How does the bacteria resist macrolides by alter target binding site?
Bacteria produce methyltransferases that alter 50s subunit
How does bacteria develop resistance to sulfonamides?
Increase production of PABA to out compete with sulfonamides
Which enzyme does beta lactam inhibit?
Transpeptidase
Do nafcillin/oxacillin resist beta lactamase?
Yes
Penicillin can be given with ___ to cover pseudomonas and enterococcus?
Aminoglycosides like gentamycin
How does beta lactamase inhibitor does its job?
Suicide inhibitor (irreversible inhibition)
What drug would inhibit penicillin/fluoroquinolone excretion, thus increase level of penicillin in the body?
Probenecid
