Principles knowledge corrections Flashcards
strict aerobes
pseudomonas - gram -ve
legionella - gram -ve
viruses contain
RNA/DNA
what antibiotics act on bacterial cell wall
penicillins, cephalosporins, glycopeptides
penicilins
safe in preg, exreted via kidney, bactericidal
phenoxymethyl - penicillin
penicilin V
beta lactamase
destroys amoxicillin
co- amoxiclav
tracts everything apart from pseudomonas and MRSA
cephalosporins
bactericidal, sage in preg, excreted via kidneys and urine
gentamicin
aminoglycosides antibiotics, bacteriostatic and bactericidal, not safe in preg , excreted via urine
antibiotics that act on bacterial DNA
metronidazole, trimethoprium +/- sulphanimide, fluroquinolones
sulphanimide- bacteriostatic and makes co-trimoxazole
antibiotics causing C.diff
ciprofloaxan, co- amxoxiclav, clindamycin, cephalosporins/ cefriaxone
acrocentric chromosomes
p arm too short
aneuploidy
abnormal no. of chromosome s
monosomy- 1 missing
trisomy- extra
Robertsonian translocation
chromosome attaches to another chromosome at centromere
13,14,15,21,22
x linked disease
disease on X chromosome
female carriers- 0.5 M and F kids affected
M carriers- F kids carriers
epigenetic variation
changes in the genome that don’t change nucleotide sequence
methylation
inhibits DNA transcription
5 types of leukocytes/ WBC
neutrophils, basophils, mast cells, eosinophils, monocytes, lymphocytes
major opsonins
C3b, collectins, Fc of IgG, CRP
oxidative killing
NADPH oxidase
O2 to free radicals
interferons
limits viral infections
interleukons
tell cells to differentiate
produced by T cells
classical pathway
C1,C4, C2,C3
lectin pathway
manose binding lectin to carbs
no antibodies cause this is like C1 binding
complement inhibitors
C1, factor I and H, C4 binding protein , CD59
IgE activates
mast cells
T cell activation
MHC binding T cell receptor
B7 binding to CD28
IL-4, IL-5, IFNy
activates B cells and increases killing
