Erdman Vancomycin and Other Agents Learning Objectives Flashcards
Vanc MOA
Glycopeptide that inhibits sysnthesis of bacterial cell wall by blocking glycopeptide polymerization; inhibits synthesis and assembly during the second stage by binding to D-Ala-D-Ala portion = prevents cross-linking and further elongation
Synercid MOA
Individually bind on the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit early and late stages of bacterial protein synthesis = bacteriostatic
Oxazolidinones MOA
Bind to 50S ribosomal subunit near the surface interface of the 30S subunit = inhibits 70S initiation complex formation = inhibits protein synthesis = bacteriostatic
Daptomycin MOA
Inserts lipophilic tail into cell wall to form a transmembrane channel = leakage of cellular contents and rapid depolarization
Lipoglycopeptides MOA
Binds to D-Ala-D-Ala terminus = interferes with polymerization
Oritavancin and telavancin bind to membranes and insert lipophilic tail = cellular leakage of contents and rapid depolarization
Vanc MOR
VRE, VRSA –> modification of D-Ala-D-Ala to D-Ala-D-lactate via van gene
VISA: thickening of peptidoglycan layer of cell wall
Synercid MOR
Alteration of ribosomal binding site via erm gene
Oxazolidinones MOR
Alteration of the ribosomal subunit target site
Daptomycin MOR
Very rare
Lipoglycopeptides MOR
Modification to D-Ala-D-Lactate
