Antibiotics: Cell wall inhibitors Flashcards
MOA of beta lactam antibiotics?
Bind to PBP in cell wall to inhibit transpeptidation reaction that crosslinks cell wall PG
Narrow spectrum penicillin used against Strep, pneumococcal, meningococcal infections?
Penicillin G - IV
Penicillin V - Oral
(Prone to inactivation by beta lactamases - degrade beta lactam ring)
What drug prolongs action of pen by competing with renal tubular transporters?
Probenecid
Used in gout
Very narrow spectrum pen used against staphylococcal infections? (Penicillinase producing)
Methi, Naf, Oxa, Cloxacillin
“NAF for STAPH”
Excreted in bile
Given via IV due to poor absorption when given PO
