Q

Target of Antibacterials

A

that which is not present in eukaryotes (cell wall, 70s ribosome, Folic acid synth)

22
Q

Cell wall targeting

A

Penicillins, VAncomycin

23
Q

DNA synth target

A

Fluoroquinoones

24
Q

RNA synth target

A

Rifamycins

25
Q

Plasma membrane target

A

Polymvxins

26
Q

Ribsome target

A

Aminoglycoside(30s), macrolides(50s)

27
Q

Folic acid target

A

Sulfonamides

28
Q

What is Penicillin

A

A beta Lactam

29
Q

What is Vancomycin

A

Non-beta-lactam (glycopeptide antimicrobials)

30
Q

How Beta-LActams work

A

Bind to transpeptidase and inhibit cross linking of amino acid side chains

31
Q

What is Transpeptidase

A

Penicillin-binding proteins (target of Beta lactams)

32
Q

Action of Non-beta-lactams

A

Inhibit assembly of the linear peptiodglycan binding directly to amino acid side chains to prevent peptidoglycan cross linking

33
Q

Treat MRSA

A

Vancomycin

34
Q

Action of Chloramohenicol

A

Bind to amino acids

35
Q

Macrolide action

A

Bind to tRNA and 50s

36
Q

Action of Streptogramins and oxazolidinones

37
Q

Action of AMinoglycosides

38
Q

Action of Tetracyclins

39
Q

Action of sulfonamides and trimethoprin

A

Inhibit folate synth

40
Q

Action of Rifampin

A

Inhibit RNA polymerase

41
Q

Action of Metronidazole

A

Breaks DNA

42
Q

Action of Quinolones

A

inhibit DNA topoisomers and gyrase

43
Q

Action of amphotericin

A

Bind to sterol-contain membranes of fungi

44
Q

Action of polymyxins

A

Disrupt gram negative outer membrane as a detergent

45
Q

Mechanisms of Resistance

A 
Efflux pumps
Blocked Penetraion
Altered target
Enzymatic inactivation
Genetic resitsance
46
Q

Why MRSA is reistant to Methicillin

A

Altered PBP’s

47
Q

treating MRSA

A

Non-beta lactans

48
Q

Why can’t Vancomysin attack VRSA

A

Altered peptide is a dipeptide so reduced affininty

49
Q

the innate ability of a bcaterial species to resist activty of antimicrobial agent though structure and function characteristis

A

Intrinisc Resitsance

50
Q

when a speices develops resistance to anitbiotic

A

Acquired resitsance

51
Q

Mutational resistanec

A

Mutation chanages ti so antibacterial no longer has effect
