Antimicrobials 5-6 Flashcards
toxic systemically: mostly used topically except for vancomycin
Polypeptide Antibiotics & Other Antibiotics
What are the Polypeptide Antibiotics
Vancomycin
Bacitracin
What are the other antibiotics
Fosfomycin
Cycloserine
inhibits transglycosylation
MOA of Vancomycin
Its S/E is Red Man Syndrome
Vancomycin
produced by the Tracy-I strain of Bacillus subtilis
Bacitracin
Has a S/E of psychologic and neurologic
Cycloserine
use: UTI caused by E.coli
Fosfomycin
binds to the lipid carrier bactoprenol
MOA of Bacitracin
Sexond line drug for TB
Cycloserine
S/E: highly nephrotoxic and hematotoxic - not used systemically, only topically
Bacitracin
DOC: “last line® for MRSA (IV) and C. difficile-induced pseudomembranous colitis (PO)
Vancomycin
both mammalian and bacterial cells have plasma membrane - toxic if systemic clinical use is mostly limited to topical applications
Nonselective
bind to the LPS or phospholipids of the cell membrane, increasing membrane permeability >- loss or leakage of cell constituents
MOA of Polymyxins
“reserve drug due to nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity
Vancomycin
Also know as Colistin
Polymyxin E
from Bacillus polymyxa
Polymyxin B
A Polymyxin B for skin infections
+ Bacitracin
A Polymyxin B for eye infections
+ Dexamethasone and Neomycin:
from Aerobacillus colistinus
Polymyxin E
What are the polymyxin drugs
Polymyxin E
Polymyxin B
use: reserve agent for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs)
Daptomycin
vital for protein synthesis
Ribosomes
given IV except for neomycin (topical&oral)
Aminoglycosides
