Q

Macrolides works by …

A

Inihibtion of protein synthesis by binding the 50S subunit (blocks exit channel)

Most effective against gram positive bacteria

22
Q

Macrolides resistance

A
  • Reduced permeability
  • Production of Esterases that hydrolyze macrolides
  • Ribosomal protection via inhibitory proteins
23
Q

Macrolides Side Effects

A

Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea

Erythromycin –> Acute cholestatic hepatitis and inhibits cytochrome p450

24
Q

Linezolid works by …

A

preventing bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit. Bacteriostatic

25
Q

Linezolid resistance

A

primarily due to efflux pumps

26
Q

Linezolid side effects

A

Hematogenic - duration-dependent bone marrow suppression, neuropathy, and optic neuritis
Serotonin Syndrome

27
Q

Flouroquinolones include …

A

Ciprofaxin, levofloaxin, moxifloaxin

28
Q

Flouroquinolones works on ..

A

both gram positive and negative

29
Q

Flouroquinolones works by …

A

Inhibiting topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV
Interferes with transcription (II), translation (II), and chromosome segregation during mitosis (IV)

30
Q

Flouroquinolone resistance

A

Target Modification
Target production
Drug Modification

31
Q

Flouroquinolone side effects

Generally well tolerated
Contraindicated for patients with QTc interval prolongation
May damage cartilage (not usually recommended <18)
Tendonitis

32
Q

Metronidazole used for …

A

ANAEROBIC bacteria!!! C. Diff colitis

33
Q

Metronidazole works by …

A

Disturbing ETC, reduced by ferredoxin, results in products that are toxic to anaerobic cells

34
Q

Sulfonamides

A

usually combined with inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase (trimethoprim) for UTI

35
Q

Metronidazole side effects

A

Nausea, diarrhea, stomatitis, peripheral neuropathy

AVOID ALCOHOL … ADH inhibitor

36
Q

Sulfonamides work on ..

A

Gram positive and negative

37
Q

Sulfonamides work by ..

A

antifolate, many bacteria cannot use exogenous folate, must synthesize it from PABA and Sulfonamidesare PABA analogs

38
Q

Sulfonamide Resistance

A
  • Overproduction of PABA
  • Production of different enzymes w/ low Sulfonamide affinity
  • Impair permeability
39
Q

Sulfonamide Side Effects

Megablastic Anemia, Leukopenia, Granulocytopenia
Nausea, Vomiting , Fever
Vasculitis, renal damage, CNS disturbance

40
Q

Isoniazid

A

Most active drug for TB treatment

41
Q

Isoniazid works by …

A
  • Inhibits my colic acid synthesis, an essential component of the cell wall
  • Forms covalent bond with acyl carrier protein
42
Q

Isoniazid resistance

A

Caused by over expression of inna gene, which encodes an NADH-dependent acyl carrier protein reductase
*Occurs often so a combination therapy is required

43
Q

Isoniazid side effects

A 
Hepatotoxic - may cause hepatitis.  
Peripheral Neuropathy (give pyridoxine to prevent)
44
Q

Rifampin

A

Used in conjunction with isoniazid

45
Q

Rifampin works on ….

A

Both gram + and -

46
Q

Rifampin works by …

Rifampin resistance

A

Point mutations in rpoB, the gene for B subunit of the RNA polymerase

48
Q

Rifampin side effects

A
  • Rashes, thrombocytopenia, nephritis

Strong induction of cyto p450 and thus increases rate of elimination of drugs

49
Q
