Penicillin Flashcards
Mechanism of action in penicillin
• Inhabit transpeptidation reaction which is the last step in the formation of cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBP)
↑ activity of autolysins in some bacteria → cell wall lysis
Why it’s a good idea to take penicillin with Aminoglycosides
Aminoglycosides can’t penetrate gram+ bacteria thick Call wall so if it’s taken with penicillin it causes a new generation of bacteria with a wick call wall that could penetrate the call wall
Penicillin should not be taken with static drug , why
We need new generation
