Review - Antibiotics Flashcards
Tetracyclines
- Rx: GramPos
- MOA: Bacteriostatic
- Binds to 30S (Thirty S) subunit
- Prevents Aminoacyl-tRNA attachment
- Limited CNS penetration
- Avoid milk, antacids, iron
- Resistance: Transport pumps (plasmid encoded) decrease uptake into cells or increase efflux out of cells
- Side Effects:
- Tummy problems
- Can’t get Taller
- Terrible Vision (photosensitivity)
Tetracyclines Clinical Use

- Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
- Rickettsia (intracell accum)
- Chlamydia (intracell accum)
Doxycycline
Hepatic excretion
Demeclocycline
- ADH antagonist
- Can be used as diuretic in SIADH
Minocycline
Effective for acne (Mi-NO like acne!)
Aminoglycosides
- Rx: GramNeg
- MOA: Bacteriocidal
- Block Initiation Factor II @ 30S (A = 1st letter → initiation)
- Cause mRNA misreading
- Require O2

- Side Effects: (ami-NOT-glycosides)
- Nephrotoxicity, esp w/Cephalosporins
- Ototoxicity, esp w/Loop Diuretics
- Teratogen
