Basics

  1. What even are antiobiotics?
    - what three ways can you give these bioavailable compounds?
  2. They interefer with specific bacterial what?
  3. Differential toxicity for bacterial cells
    - target shouldnt be present in what? or the target should be what?
  4. Broad vs narrow spectrum of activity - what does this mean?

  2. In the cell wall synthesis ABs - what are the four types of ABs?
    - why do we target cell walls?
  3. Nucleic acid synthesis - what are the 4 types of ABs here?
  4. In the prtein synthesis, what are the two types of ABs?

Q

Okay, so with cell wall synthesis, how does it work?

A

So the penicillin-binding protein (transpeptidase) cross-links peptide side chains of peptidoglycan. So this matrix of peptidoglycan. Serine is in the active site and is important in the cross linking of these peptide chains

Q

Classes of B-lactams

  1. Classes differ in spectra of ____ and ______ to beta-lactamases
  2. Multiple drugs within classes due to modifcation of what?
    - so these modifications affect what?
  3. Maybe tell me the classes of the b-lactams?
  4. What about allergy?
  5. What step do B-lactams inhibit in the peptidoglycan synthesis?
    - bind _____ to the transpeptidase due to what type of bond with what?
    - inhibits what?
A

Q

Glycopeptides! (still cell wall synthesis ABs)

  1. These include what ABs?
  2. What spectrum of bacteria do the glycopeptides work on?
    - whyyyyy?
    - can you give it orally? Why?
  3. Glycopeptides bind to what? This inhibits the cross linking too
