Micro Drugs, Exam 1 Flashcards
Vancomycin
“MRSA coverage
Blocks cross linking of newly synthesized cell wall to existing cell wall, Binds D-Ala dipeptide
Requires 12 hrs to work “
Clindamycin
“Shuts down exotoxin production (Protein synth. Inhibitor)
May allow growth of clostridium dificile, causing pseudomembranous enterocolitis “
Rifampin / rifamycin
“Great mucosal penetration
Prophylactic for meningitis (neisseiria won’t develop resistance), treats Tuberculosis
Turns urine and contact lenses red
Inhibits initiation of transcription”
IV Immunoglobulin
Neutralizes superantigen
Drotecogin alpha, activated protein C
“Anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory and fibrinolytic
Slows clotting in purpura fulminans “
Corticosteroids
Prevent Inflammation if damaging (e.g. meningitis)
Phosphonomycin
“Class???
Acts in Cytoplasm
PEP analogue, block UDP-NAG to UDP-NAM”
D-Cycloserine
“Acts in Cytoplasm
Blocks addition of terminal D-ala dipeptide to UDP-NAM
Good for TB (second line)”
Bacitracin
”
Acts in membrane
Blocks regeneration of bactoprenol pyrophosphate, required cell wall precursor carrier (Blocks pyrophosphatase
Group A strep VERY sensitive”
