An ideal antimicrobial agent exhibits ____, which means that the drug is harmful to a pathogen without being harmful to the host.
SELECTIVE TOXICITY
antibiotics act against a limited group of bacteria
NARROW SPECTRUM
antibiotics act against a larger group of bacteria
TETRACYCLINE
BROAD SPECTRUM
Bactericidal drug ____ bacteria
KILL
suiCIDAL
Bacteriostatic drug ____ of bacteria
INHIBITION
INHIBITION OF CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
- New peptidoglycan monomers are inserted by transglycosylase (transglycosidase)
- The final rigidity of the cell wall is imparted by cross-linking of the peptide chains by transpeptidase enzyme
- Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBP) may act as transglycosylase or as transpeptidase
BACTERIAL CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
INHIBITION OF CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
BACTERIAL CELL WALL SYNTEHSIS:
New peptidoglycan monomers are inserted by ____
TRANSGLYCOSYLASE
INHIBITION OF CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
BACTERIAL CELL WALL SYNTHESIS:
The final rigidity of the cell wall is imparted by cross-linking of the peptide chains by ____ enzyme
TRANSPEPTIDASE
INHIBITION OF CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
BACTERIAL CELL WALL SYNTHESIS:
____ may act as transglycosylase or as transpeptidase
PENICILLIN-BINDING PROTEIN (PBP)
BACTERIAL CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
- All ____ are selective inhibitors of bacterial cell wall synthesis
- block the action of transpeptidase; no cell wall formed
β-lactam drugs
BACTERIAL CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
Destruction of bacterial ____ (destroys peptidoglycan)
AUTOLYSINS
only β-lactam drug that has one ring
MONOBACTAMS
active in non growing
β-lactam antibiotics
