Cell Wall Synthesis And Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Flashcards
Aminoglycosides and Quinolones have what type of kinectics in bacterial killing?
Concentration dependent
What do u call the property of CA that permits them to target only those vital to microbe and not to man? In what mechanism.
Unique selectivity. Selective toxicity. By exploiting the basic chemical and physical differences bet the two.
Among penicillins what are those that are repository in nature. Give classification.
Benzathine and Procaine – naturally occuring penicillin.
B for RHF aand for syphilis
What drug mist be combined withr penicillin to prolong its concentration in the blood.
Probenecid
This drug is mainly used for staphylococcal infections
Methicillin/ nafcicillin/ isoxacillin group
Why is methicilin pulled out from the market
Causes acite tubular necrosis and acute tubular nephritis
True or false. Naturally occuring penicillins have activity on gram positive org and gram negative org.
False. Major - gram positive org. gram negativice cocci
Minor to little - gram negative rods
Can also act on streptococci.
Amoxicillin must be taken with food.
Not necessarily, absorption not impaired by food.
Give the repository form of penicillin
Benzathine and procaine
This repository drug is used for RHF to prevent reinfection thus endocarditis
Benzathine, once every 3-4 weeks
This repository drug is used for syphilis treatment
Benzathine, once a week x 3 wks
Oral absorption of penicillin depends on what factors:
Acid stability and protein binding
Penicillins can be used on lactating moms.
False. It is excreted in the breast milk and sputum
Give the mode of excretion of penicillins
Renally excreted, rapidly.
Nafcillin- biliary
DOC - biliary and kidney
Normally, penicillin poorly penetrates what organs?
PEC
Prostate
Eyes
CSF
But with acute inflammation, it can cross the meninges
This drug can increase drug concentration in the blood and tissue because it impairs absorption.
Benzathine and procaine
This drug increases penicillin blood level via preventing its renal tubular secretion
Probenecid
What do u call the therapy wherein you switch from an IV to oral form
Step down therapy
Change of family of drugs therapy
Switch therapy
Acid stable penicillins that are well absorbed. 3
ADA
Amox
Dicloxacillin
Ampi
Generally prevents protein synthesis.
Macrolides
Aminoglycosides
Generally inhibits cell wall synthesis
Beta lactam
Normally inhibits DNA synthesis
Sulfonamides
Quniolones
Which is prefered? Narrow or broad spectrum?
Narrow because of dec drug resitance, low cost, medication error
This group of penicillin have greater activity against gram negative but retaining that of its natural gram positive properties.
Extended spectrum antibiotics.
- AMINOPENICILLIN - Amox and Ampi
- ANTIPSEUDOMONNAL - CARBOXYPENICILLIN - UREIDO
This ESP is used for SOUL.
Sinusitis, Otitis, UTI, LRTI
Aminopenicillin
Used for SHIGELLOSIS
Ampicillin
Used against K. Pneumonia (-)
Ureidopenicillin
This mechanism of resistance is mainly responsible for the resistance of methicilin on staphylocci and pen g on enterococci and pneumococci
Modification of altered PBPs.
This is used for mixed type of aerobic and nonaerobic intraabdominal bacterial infection
Suicidal inhibitors
This is the first line of tx for n. Gonorrhea
Cefixime, Ceftriaxone
3rd gen
This is the DOC for enterobacter
Carbapanems
Also known as big buns drugs
Carbapanems
This drug is effective against mized infection and nosocomially acquired infxns
Carbapanems
What type of beta lactamases do carabapinems suscpetible to
Metalobetalactamases
This griup of drug bunds to the d-ala terminus which prevents elongation and cross linking
Glycopeptide inhibitors
This glycopeptode inhibitor is the prototype and is characterized as having red man or red neck syndrome
Vancomycin
What must be done in cases of red neck syndrome
Decrease dosage
This drug is the 2nd choice for enterocolitis
Vancomycin.
Cephalosphorin used for p. Aeruginosa
Ceftazidime
Ceforepazone
3rd gen
What drug is for citrobacter, serratia and providencia
3rd gen cephalosphorins
Wat drug is for h. Influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis
2nd gen cephalosporins
Cephamycins - cefoxitin, cefotetan, cefometaxole
This generation of cephalosporin is rarely used because of the presence of penicillin
1st gen
