D2 prework Flashcards
What is the class of Penicillin?
B-lactam
What is the cellular target of B-Lactam?
Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPS) - transpeptidase.
What cell structure is affected by B-Lactam?
Cell wall synthesis
What are some of the toxicities of B-Lactam?
Hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis (Except Aztreonam), seizure, CDAD
What are all the medications in Penicillin?
Penicillin G/VK,
(Anti-staphylococcal) Oxacillin/nafcillin/dicloxacillin,
ampicillin/amoxicillin and Ampicillin+sulbactam/amoxicillin+clavunate,
Ticarcillin+clavunate, PIP+TAZ
What bacterias are covered by PenG?
Staph (Except SA), Strep/Pneumonia, Oral anaerobes, syphilis.
What bacterias are covered by Pen VK?
Staph (Except SA), Strep/Pneumonia, oral anaerobes
What bacterias are covered by Group 3 B-Lactam?
Staph/MSSA, Step/pneumo
What bacterias are covered by Ampicillin/amoxicillin?
Strep/Pneumo, +VRE, PEK, Some PIDDLY, Oral anaerobes.
What bacterias are covered by PIP+TAZ?
Staph/MSSA, Strep/Pneumonia, Enterococcus/VRE, PEK, PIDDLY, SPACE, Anaerobes
What is the MOA of Penicillins?
Inhibition of cross linked peptidoglycan formation
What are the 4 Stages of NAG-NAM polymer formation?
Stage 1: NAG-NAM
Stage 2: Monomer Export
Stage 3: Transglycosylation
Stage 4: Transpeptidase
Explain the Stage 1 of NAM polymer.
NAG-NAM synthesis: NAG-NAM monomers are assembled and NAG is converted into pentapeptide
Explain the Stage 2 of NAM polymer.
Monomer Export: Bactoprenol (BP) carrier transports and release the NAG-NAM monomer outside the cell
Explain the Stage 3 of NAM polymer.
Transglycosylation: Transglycosylase catalyzes the transfer of the NAG-NAM monomer to the end of the growing peptidoglycan strand
Explain the Stage 4 of NAM polymer.
Transpeptidation is cross linking step between petidoglycan strands. Enzymes that form peptide bonds between the a side chains of NAM are called Transpeptidase (PBPs).
What is the purpose of B-Lactam ring?
The hydrolytic site in the PBP makes it more prone to by hydrolyzed
How is Penicillin G pen formulated?
Na+ and K+ (Pfirzerpen)
Benzathine, or procain salts
What are the type of bacteria that Penicillin G is effective against?
Non B-lactamase producing cocci, syphilis. most oral anaerobes.
What makes Penicillin unstable to stomach acid?
IV (Na+/K+ salt) or IM (Procain/benzathine salt) injection
How do you formulate Penicillin G to last longer and decrease the local pain?
IM injections of low H2O salt forms of PEN are used with Procain and benzathine Base
(T/F) You can take long acting PEN by IV
False (can be fatal)
