what are the anaerobe drugs
poststrepococcus
bacteriods
clostridium
Where are the anaerobe drugs located
poststreptococcus : mouth
bacteriods: gut/small instestines
clostridium: large intestines
What drug works on the DNA gyrase
FQN
What drug works on the 30S ribosome
aminoglycosides
cephalosproins: how do bacterial cell walls cross-link different peptidoglycan
- amino group of pentaglycine reacts with peptide b/w D-ala residues
- one D-alanine forms bond with glycine
- one D-alanine released
cephalosproins: cross-linking reaction is catalyzed by who
- glycopeptide transpeptidase
- penicillin-binding proteins (PBP)
cephalosproins: how do they block bacterial cell wall synthesis
- act as the D-ala-Dala
- bind to transpeptidase
- irreversbile covalent bond with serine
what type of drug is cephalosproins
cidal
ifficiacy of a particular cephalosproins is related to what
its affinity for PBPs
cephalosproins: the beta-lactam ring acts how in acid medium
unstable
how are orally administered cephalosporins absorbed
rapidly and thoroughly
oral cephalosporins are available as what type of compounds
- prodrug ester
- nonesterified compounds
where are prodrug esters of cephalosproins activated? and what enhances absorption
hydrolyzed in intestines
food enhances absorption
how well is cephalosproins distributed
well distributed
third generation cephalosporins are good for what
penetrate well into CSF especially with inflammed meninges
what cephalosproins drug is usually used for meningitis
caftriaxone
how are most cephalosproins excreted
renal
which cephalosproins are excreted through hepatic
ceftriaxone and cefoperaxone
following an IV infusion of 5th generation, Ceftaroline fosamil (prodrug), what does it get convert to and by who?
ceftaroline
by plasma phosphateases
