Antibiotics Flashcards
Beta lactam examples
Penicilin Amoxicillin Flucoxacilin Cephlasporins cefloxacin
Beta lactam mechanism
Beta lactam ring binds PBP cell wall cant synthesize cell death due instability
Aminoglyceride examples
Streptomycin
Gentamycin - comm acquired pneamonia
Tobramycin
Amikacin
Aminoglyceride mechanism
Penetrate bacterial cell wall via porin channels bind 30s ribosomal subunit interfere initiation complex - misreading genetic code * interruption normal bactericidal protein synthesis
Glycopeptides examples
Vancomycin
Glycopeptides mechanism
inhibit cell wall synthesis binds d alanine terminal of peptide chain during cell wall synthesis * inhibit transpeptidase prevent elongation + cross linking of peptidogycan matrix
Quinolones example
Ciprofloxin
Levofloxin
Quinolones mechanism
inhibits DNA gyrase (topsoimerase II) formation quinolone DNA gyrase complex - inhibts bacterial topisomerase IV preventing relaxation of super coiled DNA
Pseudomonas
aerobic gram-negative motile rods that oxidase positive lactose nonfermenters
tetracylines examples
DOXYCLINE
Tetracycline mechanism
Bind 30s ribosome prevent addition aa on growing peptide chain + chelate cations necc enzymatic action
Macrolides examples
clarithromycin
Eryhtromycin
Macrolides mechanism
protein synthesis inhibitor binds 50s ribosomal sununit inhibit polypeptide chain elongation + protien synthesis inhibition
Sulfonamides mechansim
analogue PABA inhibit bacterial folate synthase - formation folate inhibited - metabolic injurious
tetracylines examples
Doxycline
