Q

Which of the following is the MOA of Daptomycin?

A. inhibits transglycosylase

B. binds to the anionic bacterial outer membrane

C. interferes with the dephosphorylation of the phospholipid carrier

D. binds to the cell membrane and causes depolarization

A

D. Binds to the Cell membrane and causes depolarization

Because of the lipid tail, it inserts into the cell membrane, the insertion into the cell membrane causes potassium ions to come out of the cell therefore causing depolarization.

a is the MOA of vancomycin

b is the MOA Colistin

c is the MOA of bacitracin

Q

A bacteria increased its lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesis. What drug was a patient taking to cause this bacterial resistance?

A. vancomycin

B. Daptomycin

C. Colistin

D. Mupirocin

A

Daptomycin

Mechanism of Bacterial Resistance is

  1. Cell Wall Thickeining
  2. Increased lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesis in which the cell membrane has phosphate groups and if the bacteria increase the phosphate groups that will cause repulsion of the daptomycin

A. Vancomycin

B. Colistin

C. Daptomycin

D. Mupirocin

A

C. Colistin

17
Q

Which of the following are Bacitracin effective against?

A. Gram Positive

B. Gram Negative

C. P. aeruginosa

Q

Benny overheard chisme that Luciana was telling Mary Margaret. Luciana told mary Margaret that Benny got redman syndrome because Dr. Scratch-n-sniff gave the following medication too fast. What medication are they talking about?

A. Daptomycin

B. Colistin

C. Vancomycin

D. Bacitracin

A

C. Vancomycin

19
Q

Which of the following MOA and antibiotics is not matched correctly?

A. Vancomycin: inhibits tranglycosylase

B. Bacitracin: binds to the anionic bacterial outer membrane

C. Mupirocin: binds to the bacterial isoleucine tRNA

D. Daptomycin: binds to the cell membrane and causes depolarization

A

B. Bacitracin

Bacitracin interferes with the dephosphorylation of the phospholipid carrier in the cell wall synthesis.

The Phospholipid carrier is a bactoprenol that has to become phosphorylated to pick up a molecule monomer to be transported outside the cell.

20
Q

Which of the following antibiotics is cationic and binds to anionic bacterial outer membranes?

A. Mupirocin

B. Vancoymin

C. Colistin

D. Daptomycin

A

C. Colistin

a binds to the isoleucin tRNA synthase

b inhibits transglycosylase and transpeptidase

d binds to the cell membrane and causes depolarization

21
Q

The cyclic peptides are able to evade the human peptidases, which of the following is a reson they can do it?

A. Cyclic Peptides degrade faster than the linear peptides

B. Cyclic Peptides have a large number of D-amino acids, and the human peptidases can only recognize the D-amino acids.

C. Cyclic Peptidases have unusual number of amino acids

D. Cyclic peptides have a large number of L- amino acids and the human peptidases can only recognize the D-amino acids, therefore they cannot be hydrolyzed

A

C. Cyclic Peptidases have unusual number of amino acids

a is wrong bc cyclic peptidases degrade slower

b. is wrong bc human peptidases only recognize L-amino acids

d is wrong bec cyclic peptidass have a large number of D-amino acids and the human peptidases can only recognize the L-amino acids

22
Q

Which of the following statement is True?

A. Vancomycin, Colistin, and Bacitracin cause Nephrotoxicity

B. Vancomycin and Bacitracin both cause neurotoxicity

C. Colistin and Bacitracin both cause bone marrow toxicity

D. Bacitracin is given orally

A

A. Vancomycin, Colistin, and Bacitracin cause Nephrotoxicity

b is wrong becasue vancomycin causes Red Man’s Syndrome, Nephrotoxicity, and Ototoxicity

c is wrong because Colistin only cause nephrotoxicity and increase in neuromuscular blocked

d is false bc bacitracin is given topically

C. Binds to cell membrane and causes depolorization

a and b is what vancomycin does

d is what colistin does

A,C

b is the MOA of protein synthesis inhibitors

d is a false statement
