Q

Aminoglycosides

A
  • Binds to 30s ribosome
  • Are bactericidal
  • NO anaerobic activity
  • Concentration dependent
  • Combined with beta lactams can treat sepsis (gram - )
  • Combined with beta lactams or vancomycin can treat endocarditis (enterococus, gram +)

3 Mechanisms of Aminoglycosides

A

1) blocks formation of ribosome complex
2) blocks proof reading- leading to misreads so the wrong amino acids are made
3) blocks ribosomal translocation on mRNA (Bactericidal/irreversible)

Q

What drives ototoxicity in Aminoglycosides

A
  • Mitochondria have similar ribosomes to bugs
  • So abx may attack the hosts mitochondria
  • This damage leads to ototoxicity
