micro - antimicrobials Flashcards
inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking –> block cell wall synthesis
penicillin, methicillin, ampicillin, piperacillin
cephalosporins, zaztreonam, imipenem
block peptidoglycan synthesis
bacitran and vancomycin
inhibit folic acid synthesis (methylation) –> block nucleotide synthesis
sulfonamides, trimethroprim
block DNA topoisomerase
fluoroquinolones
block mRNA synthesis
rifampin
damage DNA
metronidazole
block protein synth at 50S ribosomal unit
chloramphenicol, clindamycin, linezolid, macrolides, streptogramins (-pristin)
block protein synth at 30S ribosomal unit
aminoglycosides, tetracycline
macrolides MOA
block 50S
penicillin general
prototype beta lactam, blocks peptidoglycan cross linking - inhibits cell wall synthesis
penicillin MOA
binds penicillin-binding protein (transpeptidases) –> block transpeptidase cross-linking of peptidoglycan
activate autolytic enzymes
penicillin clinical use
gram positive organisms - strep pneumo, strep pyogenes, actinomyces
neisseria meningitis, treponema pallidum, syphilis
penicillin toxicity
hypersensitivity rxn
hemolytic anemia
penicillin resistance
beta-lactamase cleaves beta-lactam ring
penicillin G
IV and IM form
penicillin V
oral
penicillin bactericidal vs.
gram positive cocci and rods, gram negative cocci, and spirochetes
penicillinase-resistant penicillins
NOD IF U RESIST
nafcillin, oxacillin, dicloxacillin
PRP MOA
same as penicillin - bind PBP (transpeptidase) -> inhibit transpeptidase crosslinking of peptidoglycan –> inhibit cell wall synthesis
narrow spectrum!
PRP MOA of resistance to penicillinase
bulky R group blocks access of beta-lactamase to beta-lactam group
which PRP used for staph
nafcillin
PRP clinical use
staph aureus (except MRSA)
MRSA resistance MOA
altered penicillin binding protein target site
PRP toxicity
hypersensitivty rxn
interstitial nephritis
