Antibiotics August 28, 2017 Flashcards
nitrofurantoin
Macrodantin, Macrobid
antibacterial
bacterial infection
inhibition of Acetyl Coenzyme A (interferes with metabolism of carbohydrates in bacteria)
diarrhea, fever, chills
metronidazole
Flagyl
antibacterial/antiprotozoal
bacterial infection
bind to DNA causing DNA strand breakage and death
seizures, neuropathy
sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim
Bactrim, Septra
antibiotic
bacterial infection
trimethoprim - blocks tetrahydrofolic acid (inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase)
sulfamethoxazole - inhibits dihydrofolic acid by competitive antagonism of para-aminobenzoic acid
diarrhea, rash
mupirocin (topical)
Bactroban
antibiotic
bacterial infection
inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis by reversibly binding to bacterial isoleucyl transfer RNA synthetase
burning, stinging, pain
amoxicillin trihydrate
Amoxil, Moxatag, Trimox
antibiotic
bacterial infection
inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis via acylation of transpeptidase enzyme
diarrhea, rash
amoxicillin with clavulanate potassium
Augmentin (XR)
antibiotic
bacterial infection
amoxicillin - inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis via acylation of transpeptidase enzyme
clavulanate - binds to active sites of betalactamase enzymes (protecting amoxicillin)
diarrhea, rash

antibiotic
bacterial infection
inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis via acylation of transpeptidase enzyme
