S13C158 - Pharmacology of Antimicrobics, antifungals, antivirals Flashcards
-beta-lactams and glycopeptide MOA
- beta-lactam=penicillins and cephalosporins
- glycopeptides = vancomycin, teicoplanin, daptomycin
- cell wall active agents
- bind to bacterial cell wall, weaken it and cell lyses
- glycopeptides prevent cross-linking
- resistance occurs from mutations to the pcn-binding proteins that reduce binding of the abx to the cell wall
-protein synthesis inhibitors
- aminoglycosides, macrolides, linezolid, tetracyclines, clindamycin
- bind to ribosomes w/in bacteria, block protein synthesis
- aminoglycosides/tetracylines = 30S subunit
- macrolide/clindamycin = 50s subunit
- resistance occurs from resistance of cell wall permeability or pump that removes abx from the cell
-fluoroquinolones/rifampin/macrobid MOA
- nucleic acid inhibitors
- fluoroquinolones = inhibits DNA gyrase
- resistance occurs from decreased cell wall permeability
- rifampin inhibits RNA synthesis by binding RNA polymerase
- macrobid damages DNA (bacteria rarely become resistant)
-sulfonamides/trimethoprim
- enzyme inhibitors
- block steps in formation of folic acid
- resistance occurs from enzyme mutations
