Fluoroquinolones and UTI drugs Flashcards
DOC for UTI
bactrim (TMP)
Which strains cause UTI
E Coli (most), Klesiela and Proteus Proteus increases pH (less acidic) and decreases activity of many UTI drugs
MOA of fluoroguinolones
inhibit DNA gyrase -> can’t transcribe and replicate -> CIDAL
(also Topo IV - can’t separate chromosomes into dtr cells)
Ciprofloxacin is DOC for
anthrax prophylaxis
Cipro/quinolones spectrum

Metronizadole
DOC for pseudomembranous colitis
Metronizadole
caused by C. Diff, DOC for C Diff is Metronizadole
Metronizadole MOA
prodrug: once metabolized by bacteria, it’s taken up into DNA -> CIDAL
