if you have resistance to vancomycin what should you use?
teixobectin
what are the two penicillin strains capable of gram-negative bacterial treatment
-methicillin
-carbencillin (pseudomonas infections)
synthetic protein synthesis antibacterial that only hits gram-positive bacteria is called what? and why does it only hit gram-positive bacteria?
F. Linezolid
- only gram positive because of eflux pumps
when the agar plate has mucoid colonies what does that tell you?
there is a lot of capsule production
what does ESKAPE stand for
ESKAPE is an acronym for a group of bacteria that are highly dangerous and deadly
- ESKAPE stands for Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species
what antiviral drug inhibits the M2 protein and fights influenza virus
amantadine (prevents viral uncoating)
what antiviral drug is used to fight H1N1
tamiflu (neuraminidase inhibitor)
what antiviral drug is a guanosine analog
acyclovir
what antiviral drug is absorbed 80% and fights herpes
famciclovir
what is a prodrug
a biologically inactive compound which can be metabolized in the body to produce a drug.
