Principles of Antimicrobial Action and Resistance Flashcards
COMPOUNDS that are naturally produced by living microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi; natural, semisynthetic, or synthetic molecule used to treat or prevent disease
Antibiotics
Natural or synthesized substances that actively inhibit or kill microorganism
Antimicrobial agent
This are obtained or purified by microorganisms
Natural
Substances that are chemically synthesize
Synthetic
Antimicrobial action
- Active form
- Able to achieve sufficient concentration to take affect
One of the aspect of pharmacology where it deals with the action of the drugs when it comes to its activity
Pharmacokinetics
What antibiotics are negative in Serum or blood?
Norfloxacin
Nitrofurantoin
What antibiotics that are positive in CSF?

NOTE: Reaching the target concentration results to the disruption of cellular activity such as growth inhibition or Cell death depending on the Mechanism of action
Antimicrobial agents that inhibit bacterial growth, but generally do not kill the organism
Bacteriostatic agents
Antimicrobial agents that kills the target organisms
Bactericidal agents
Antibacterial agents that exhibit substantial specificity in terms of their bactericidal cell targets
Mode of Action
What are the Bacteriostatic agents?
TripL Subo TiTe EryCh CliQu
Trimethoprim
Linezolid
Sulfonamides
Tetracyclines
Tigecycline
Erythromycin (Macrolides)
Chloramphenicol
Clindamycin
Quinupristin (Dalfopristin)
2 Components of Peptidoglycan?
N-acetylglucosamine
N-acetylmuramic acid
Contains four-member, nitrogen containing, ring at the core of their structure
Beta-lactam
Responsible for inhibits transpeptidation process
Penicillin binding proteins
Process of creating cross links specifically the covalent bond between the peptidoglycan molecules
Transpeptidation
Where beta lactamase specifically targets in the peptidoglycan.
In between N-acetylmuramic acid (Cross-linkage)
