Nosocomial Infection
Acquired at healthcare facilities
Superinfection
secondary infection
Define Microbes
bacteria or virus organism that live everywhere
Microbes can cause…
Acute infection
Chronic Infections
Latent Infections
Define Acute infection
Short lived
Define Chronic Infection
Last week, months or a lifetime
Define Latent Infection
May not cause symptoms at first but can be reactivated
MOA Antimicrobial
inhibit cell wall synthesis
Inhibit cell wall function
inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis
Antifolates
Bacterial Cell wall Synthesis
Antibacterials target cell walls, human cells = no cell wall therefore no human harm
Beta-Lactams target cell walls, examples
Penicillin
cephalosporins
Carbapenems
Monobactams
Bacterial Cell wall Function
Bind Bacterial membranes, causing cell contents to leak
