23
Q

What is Tropism?

A
  • the way in which viruses find the right cell to invade

- recognition between viral cell proteins and victim cell proteins

24
Q

How does Amantadine work?

A

-inhibits viral uncoating

**many viruses require uncoating to infect a cell

25
Q

How do Interferons work against viruses?

A

-interfere with the ability of viruses to infect and replicate

26
Q

Gram + vs - coverage by cephalosporins from first to fourth generation:

A

First –> Fourth

Gram + –> Gram -

27
Q

E. Rifampin

A

A. Tetracycline, Streptomycin

28
Q

Why is Augmentin better than amoxicillinalone?

A

-augmentin has Clavulanic acid in it, which inibits penicilinase (beta-lactamase)

29
Q

How do bacteria become resistant to drugs?

A. Degrade the drug (like beta-lactamases)
B. Alter drug-binding sites by mutations
C. Exchange drug resistance genes (via plasmids)
D. Pump out the drug (increased efflux)
