Antibiotics - MOA + drug names Flashcards
What antibiotics are inhibitors of cell wall synthesis?
Beta lactams:
PCNs, cephalosporins, monobactams, carbapenems
Glycopeptides: vancomycin
What antibiotics are cell membrane active agents?
Lipopeptides:
Daptomycin
What antibiotics are cell synthesis inhibitor + cell membrane active agents?
Lipoglycopeptides:
Telavancin
What is the MOA of
Beta lactams
Inhibit transpeptidase
(“PBP” - enzyme that catalyze crosslinking)
= inhibits cross-linking = cell wall loses strength = cell lysis = bacteriCIDAL
What are mechanisms of resistance for penicillin?
- inactivation by penicillinases
- structural changes in PBPs
- (gram neg.) changes that impair drug entry
What are first generation penicillins?
