Mechanism of action fluoroquinolones and quinolones?
inhibition of DNA gyrase
Name a quinolone
Nalidixic acid
Mechanism of Rifampin
RNA polymerase inhibitor
Chloramphenicol, Clindamycin, Linezolid mechanism of action
Inhibition of protein synthesis through 50S
Inhibitors of 50 S subunit
Chloramphenicol, clindamycin, linezolidMacrolides: Azitro, Claritro, ErithromycinStreptogramins: quinupristin, dalfopristin
Mechanism of action of Aminoglycosides and name them
Inhibition of 30 S, misreading/translation. Gentamicin, Neomycin, Amikacin, Tobramycin
Mechanism of action of tetracyclines and names
Inhibition of 30S- inhibit binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to mRNA complex.TetracyclineDoxycyclineMinocycline
Inhibitors of peptidoglycan synthesis
Glycopeptides Vancomycin Bacitracin
Penicillinase sensitive penicillins
Penicillin G (iv, im), V (oral)AmpicilinAmoxicillin
Penicillinase resistan penicillins
OxacillinNafcillinDiclOxacillin (oral)methicillin
Antipseudomonals
Piperacillin, ticarcilin
Piperacillin, ticarcilin are what type of ABCs
antipseudomonals
Monobactams
Aztreonam
Folic acid synthesis and reduction ( DNA methylation
Sulfonamides ( block PABA TO DHF)Trimpetrophin ( DHF to THF)
Types of penicillins
Penicillin G (IV, IM), Penicillin V (oral)
Mechanism of action of penicillins
D-ala D-ala structural analog, so binds to penicillin binding protein Avoids crosslinking–> leaky wallActivate autolytic enzymes
Use of penicillins
Gram +: S pneumoniae, S, pyogenes, ActinomycesGram - cocci: N. meningitidis, spirochetes ( T pallidum
EA penicillins
Hypersensitivity reactions, direct Coombs + hemolytic anemia, Thrombocytopenia
Penicillinase sensitive penicillins mechanism
Same as penicillin,Wider spectrum. Combine with clavulonate.
Which penicillinase sensitive penicillin has excellent oral bioavailability?
Amoxicillin better than ampicillin
Clinical use of AMPI, AMOXI, AMINOPENICILLIN?
HHELPSS-EH. influenza, H. pylori, E.coli , listeria, proteus, Salmonella, Shigella, enterococci
AE penicillinase sensitive penicillins?
Hypersensitivity reaction, rash (when given for mononucleosis)Pseudomembranous colitis
Penicillinase-Resistant penicillins mechanism
same as penicillinNarrow spectrumbulky R group blocks access of B lactamase to B lactam ring
Why methicillin is no longer used clinically?
interstitial nephritis It is used to determine resistant strain of staph
Clinical use of penicillinase resistance penicillin
S aureus ( except MRSA, resistant because of altered penicillin-binding protein target site)
AE penicillinase resistance penicillin
Hypersensitivity reactioninterstitial nephritis
Which are the b-lactamase inhibitors?
CAST Clavulanic AcidSulbactamTazobactam
Syphilis treatment
Penicillin G
UTI treatment
Aminopenicillin( amoxi)
2 mechanism of resistance for penicillin
- B lactamase2. Alteration of penicilllin binding protein
How is the bacterial coverage with cephalosporins?
The gram negative coverage increases as we increase the generation
Organisms not covered by 1st-4th generation cephalosporins?
LAME: ListeriaAtypicals( Chlamydia, Mycoplasma)MRSAEnterococci
