Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Flashcards
1
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 +)
2
Q
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)
