Pneumonia Flashcards
Inhibitors of cell wall synthesis
Beta lactam antibiotics and vancomycin
Beta lactam antibiotics are
Penicillins
Cephalosporins
Carbapenems
Monobactams
Inhibitors of protein synthesis
Inhibit 50s ribosomal subunit ( macrolides, linezolid )
Inhibit 30s ribosomal subunit
( Aminoglycosides , tetracyclins )
Inhibitors of 50s ribosomal subunit
Macrolides
Linezolid
Inhibitors of 30s ribosomal subunit
Aminoglycosides
Tetracyclins
Inhibitors of nucleic acid synthesis
Quinolones
Inhibit transpeptidation reaction essential for bacterial cell wall synthesis
Penicillin and Cephalosporins
Sensitive penicillins are inactivated by …..
Beta lactamase enzymes
Drugs that are effective against streptococcus pneumoniae and hemophilus influenza
Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin with clavulanate ( B- lactamase inhibitors)
Drug that is effective against staph.aureus infection
Flucloxacillin
Drug that effective against pseudomonas infection
Ticarcillin
Adverse effects of penicillin
Hypersensitivity reaction (anaphylactic shock)
Neurotoxicity
Superinfection
First generation of Cephalosporins is
Cephalexin
Second generation is
Cefuroxime
Third generation is
Cefotaxime
Adverse effects of Cephalosporins
Hypersensitivity reaction
Super infection
Nephrotoxicity
Example of monobactams is
Aztreonam
