51
Q

TMP MOA

A

Selectively inhibits bacterial DFHR

52
Q

Methotrexate MOA

A

Inhibits isoforms of DFHR, required for DNA synthesis

53
Q

A

Aminoglycosdies and tetracyclines

54
Q

50s subunit target

A

Macrolide

55
Q

Why can’t macroldies be used for pyelonephirits

A

It can’t penetrate the appropriate tissues for complicated UTI

56
Q

When to use bactericdial

A

Immunocompromised patient

Hard tor each anatomical areas - CSF and intracardiac

57
Q

Why use PCN and AG together

A

PCN cause cell wall destruction
AG cause cell entrance more easily and increase cell death
Both bactericidal
