drugs in general Flashcards
drug classes what inhibit cell wall synthesis
Beta lactams and glycopeptides
Beta lactam antibiotic drugs
penicillins
cephalosporins
monobactams
carbapenems
Glycopeptide drugs
vancomycin
Antifolate/ antimetabolite drugs
Sulfonamides
trimethoprim
Drugs that disrupt nucleic acids
Fluoroquinolones
Protein synthesis inhibitors
30S drugs and 50S drugs
30S inhibitor drugs
Aminoglycosides
tetracyclines
50S inhibitor drugs
Macrolides
chloramphenicol
clindamycin
oxazolidinones
bacteria that are resistant to penicillin
secrete beta lactamase that degrade the beta lactam ring.
gram - drug resistance
Have deminished porin expression so drung can’t diffuse into the cell.
methacilin resistant bacteria mechanism
have mutated PBPs (plasma binding proteins)
vanco resistant bacteria mechanism
the replacement of D-ala in the cell wall with D-lactate which prevents glycopeptide drugs from working.
erythromycin resistance mechanism
erythromycin targets the 50s ribosome. ERM gene expression on the ribosome that prevents erythromycin from binding.
penicillin adverse effects
hypersensitivity
cephalosporin adverse effects
hypersensitivity
aminoglycosides adverse effects
nephrotoxicity
ototoxicity / vestibular toxicitiy
neuromuscular blockade
tetracyclines adverse effects
deposition in bone
fluoroquinolones adverse effects
cartilage / tendon damage.
bactericidal antibiotic applications
when a patient has a sever infection or if the host defenses are lowered (immunosuppression).
we don’t need the body to help kill the replicated bug only the drug. (don’t kill dormant bacteria)
bactericidal agents
beta lactams
glycopeptides
aminoglycosides
fluoroquinolones
beta lactams target
transpeptidase PBPs
Glycopeptide target
“vanco” and target is transglycosylase
aminoglycoside target
30S ribosome
