Antibiotics Flashcards
Also knowns as prokaryotes which is single-celled organism that lacks a true nucleus and membrane
Bacteria
This substance is inhibiting the bacterial growth or kills the bacteria and other microorganism
Antibiotics
This penetrates the bacterial cell wall and have an affinity for the bacterial binding sites
Antibacterial Drugs
What is the MEC and its description?
MEC - Minimum Effective Concentration - minimum amount of antibacterial drug to halt the growth of microorganism
This is when the pathogen will continue to grow despite the administration of the medication
Bacterial Resistance
It is an Antibiotic combination that is when two drugs are used together, that desired effect may be greatly reduced
Antagonistic Effect
A spectrum that is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative organism
Broad spectrum
This occurs when the antibiotic reduce or completely eliminate the bacterial normal flora
Superinfection
It is a test that aspiration of the body fluid is examined through microscope
Gram Stain
This type of spectrum that is selective
Narrow Spectrum
A prophylaxis against from gram-positive cocci as Streptococcus pneumoniae, viridans and pyogenes
Penicillin
This is performed on skin which detects presence of allergen-specific on patient’s mast cells
Skin testing
Its molecules are chemically altered and semi-synthetic medication are produced
Cephalosporins
This drug have the broadest action in any antibiotics.
Carbapenems
This drug destroys the bacteria by altering their DNA but does not affect the human DNA
Quinolones
