Pelvic inflammatory disease caused by
Neisseria gonnorhea and
Chlamydia trachomatis
infectious and inflammatory disorder of the upper female genital tract, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and adjacent pelvic structures
Pelvic inflammatory disease
What is the biochemical mechanism of action of the quinolone
Inhibits DNA gyrase
Enzymes that assist in formation of superhelicesand regulate the breaking and rejoining of the DNA chain
Topoisomerase
interfere with bacterial DNA synthesis
Fluoroquinolones
blocks relaxation of supercoiledDNA
topoisomeraseII (DNA gyrase) in gram-negative organisms
interferes with the separation of replicated chromosomal DNA during cell division

usually bactericidal against susceptible organisms •exhibit postantibioticeffect

less gram negative and more gram positive activity, streptococci and enterococci
3rd generation
broad spectrum, including anaerobes–with increasing generation, increasing gram positive activity
4th generation
increasing generation leads to increasing gram negative activity
Cephalosporin
Inhibits DNA replication bybinding to DNA gyraseand topoisomerase IV. Bactericidal
Ciproploxacin
Ciprofoxacin toxicity
Tendinitis and tendon rupture

Bones
Cartilage damage
As the two strands of the double helix are separated, a problem is encountered, namely
Positive super coils
Supertwist
Theaccumulating positive supercoils interfere with further unwinding of the
Double helix
If the cord is twisted in the direction of tightening the coils, the cord will wrap around itself in space to form
Positive super coils
If the cord is twisted in the direction of loosening the coils, the cord will wrap around itself in the opposite direction to form
Negative supercoils
which are responsible for removing supercoils in the helix
DNA topoisomerase
These enzymes reversibly cut one strand of the double helix
DNA topoisomerase 1
Nuclease and ligase
Strand cutting
Strand resealing
DNA topoisomerase 1 They do not require ATP, but rather appear to store the energy from the
Phopodiester bond
Type I topoisomerasesrelax negative supercoils in ________, and both negative and positive supercoils in ____________
E. coli
Eukaryotic cell
These enzymes bind tightly to the DNA double helix and make transient breaks in both strands
DNAtopoisomearse 2
The enzyme then causes a second stretch of the DNA double helix to pass through the break and, finally, reseals the break
DNA topoisomerase 2
Type II DNA topoisomerasesare also required in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes for the separation of interlocked molecules of DNA following
Chromosomal replication
a Type II topoisomerase found in bacteria and plants, has the unusual property of being able to introduce negative supercoils into relaxed circular DNA using energy from the hydrolysis of ATP
DNA gyrase
Bacterial DNA gyraseis a unique target of a group of antimicrobial agents
Quinolones
A typical human cell contains 46 chromosomes, whose total DNA is approximately
1m long
interaction of DNA with a large number of proteins, each of which performs a specific function in the ordered packaging of these long molecules of DNA
Histones
Eukaryotic DNA is associated with tightly bound basic proteins, called
Histones
DNA into basic structural units
Nucleosomes
The complex of DNA and protein found inside the nuclei of eukaryotic cells is called
Chromatin
5 classes of histones
H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4
5 classes of histones These small proteins are positively charged at physiologic pH as a result of their high content of
Lysine
Arginine
antibiotics target bacterial DNA gyrase
Quinolones
controlled by topoisomerases which later the topology of the circular DNA but not its covalent structure
Super coiling
relax DNA from negative supercoils formed
Type 1 topoisomerase
change DNA by creating double break strands in DNA
Type 2 topoisomerase
abundant proteins associated with eukaryotic DNA and are a family of basic proteins rich in the positvelycharged amino acids lysine and arginine which interact with the negative charges of DNA
Histones
RNA is a polymer composed of alternating units of
Ribonucleotides
RNA is a polymer composed of alternating units of ribonucleotides connected through a
3-5 phospodiesterase bond
Histones, along with positively charged ions such as _________ help neutralize the negatively charged DNA _____________
Magnesium
Phosphate group
HIV affects cells of the immune system, called
CD4 cells or T cells
most likely was transmitted to humans and mutated into HIV when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood
Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, or SIV from chimpanzees in west Africa
HIV family and subfamily?
Family Retroviridae-Subfamily Lentivirus
HIV 1
chimpanzees; pan troglodytes
HIV2
sootey mangabeys, more related to SIV 2
Retroviridaeis a single stranded RNA virus that has______________, which converts singlestranded RNA viral genome into doublestranded viral DNA
Reverse transcriptase
This new DNA is then incorporated into the host cell genome by an
Integrase enzyme
contains enhancer and promoter regions of HIV
LTR or long terminal repeat
encodes structural proteins which help in packaging RNA of the virus to generate new virus particles
Gag
encodes reverse transcriptase and integrase
Pol gene
