antifungal

23
Q

Itraconazole

A

antifungal

24
Q

Voriconazole

A

PO IV

antifungal

25
Q

Penicillins

A

MOA: inhibits the transpeptidation rxn (last step in peptidoglycan sythesis) –> inhibits cell wall synthesis

26
Q

Cephalosporins

A

MOA: inhibits the transpeptidation rxn (last step in peptidoglycan sythesis) –> inhibits cell wall synthesis
1st gen = good GPB coverage, modest GNB coverage
2nd gen = good GNB coverage
3rd gen = best GNB coverage (esp Enterobacteriae)
4th gen = biggest spectrum, used in serious infxns

27
Q

Carbapenems

A

MOA: inhibits the transpeptidation rxn (last step in peptidoglycan sythesis) –> inhibits cell wall synthesis

28
Q

B lactamase inhibitors

A

MOA: inhibits B lactamases so B lactams can stop cell wall synthesis

29
Q

Fluoroquinolones (FQ)

A

MOA: targets bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase –> stops DNA replicaiton and transcription

30
Q

Glycopeptides

A

MOA: inhibits cell wall synthesis by binding D-Ala-D-Ala terminal section of cell wall precursor units

31
Q

Aminoglycoside

A

MOA: binds 30S ribosome –> stops protein synthesis

32
Q

Macrolides/ketolides

A

MOA: binds 50S ribosome –> stops protein synthesis

33
Q

Lincosamides

A

MOA: binds 50S ribosome –> stops protein synthesis

34
Q

Oxazolidinones

A

MOA: binds 50S ribosome –> stops protein synthesis

35
Q

Tetracyclines/Glycylcyclines

A

MOA: binds 30S ribosome –> stops protein synthesis
