Antibiotics Flashcards
general information
what antimicrobial therapy is used for prevention of disease?
prophylactic therapy
How can drug resistance transferred in acquired antibiotic resistance?
- conjugation
- transformation
- transduction
what is the characteristic of plasmid for genetic factor causing acquired resistance to antimicrobial?
resistance transfer factor

2. Sulfonamides
what are types of Beta -lactams antibiotics that inhibit bacteria cell wall synthesis ?
- Penicillin
- cephalosporin
- carbapenem
- Monobactam
what type of antibiotics kills the bacteria ?
bactericidal
PABA + Dihydropteroate synthase →
Dihydropteroic acid ( 1 st substrate)
What are the Antimicrobial therapy?

what are the characteristics of acquired resistance to antibiotics?
genetic /biochemical mechanism
what are the characteristics of natural resistance to antibiotics?
