Sweatman Antmicrobial Drugs Flashcards
4 MOA’s of antimicrobial agents
- inhibition of cell wall
- inhibition of protein synthesis
- inhibition of folic acid biosynthetic pathways
- Inhibition of DNA/RNA synthesis
Ampicillin: DRUG CLASS
penicillin (beta lactam)
Aztreonam: DRUG CLASS
Penicillin (monobactam)
penicillin G: DRUG CLASS
Penicillin (beta lactam)
Piperacillin
penicillin (beta lactam)
Imipenem
penicillin (Carbapenem) also a beta lactam
Amoxicillin
penicillin
Clavulanic acid
penicillin (beta lactamase inhibitor)
cilastatin
penicillin (renal dihydropeptidase inhibitor)
Sulbactam
penicillin (beta lactamase inhibitor)
Tazobactam
penicillin (beta lactamase inhibitor)
Methicillin
penicillin
Nafcillin
penicillin
oxacillin
penicillin
penicllin V
penicillin
other inhibitors of cell wall synthesis
ceftriaxone (IV; 3rd generation) cephalexin (oral; 1st generation) Vancomycin Cefazolin (IV) Cefepime (IV)
penicillins, carbapenems, and cephalosporins belong to a class of antibiotics known as….
Beta-lactams
4 membered ring where a N is adjacent to carboxy C–> all bind PBP’s
Narrow Spectrum Penicillins and their MOA
Oxacillin, Nafcillin
*larger molecule on penicillin side chain confers steric hindrance–>confers resistance to beta lactamase–> but also restricts their spectrum of activity (cannot conform to as many sterioisomers)
Aminopenicillins and their MOA’s
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin
*added NH2 group makes molecule more hydrophillic–>more able to cross LPS barrier and thus increased efficacy against gram-nagative bacteria
Broad-Spectrum Penicillins
Piperacillin
Prototypical Penicillins
Penicillin G and Penicillin V
MOA for beta lactam antibiotics
- binding to penicillin-binging proteins (transpeptidases)
2. destruction of cell wall
Action of transpeptidases that is disrupted by beta-lactam antibiotics
Cross-linking of peptidoglycan molecules in bacterial cell walls–> lack of cross-links makes them weak and the cell will lyse
Type of bacteria susceptible to beta lactam activity
Gram Positive (relies extensively on a thick, highly cross-linked cell wall)
gram negative bacteria have a LPS layer which protects the thing peptidoglycan from beta-lactam activity
Beta Lactamase inhibitors
- clavulanic acid (added to amoxicillin)
- tazobactam (added to piperacillin)
- Sulbactam
* not inherently toxic to bacteria–>do not contain a beta lactam–>bind to beta lactamase and increase the duration of activity of beta lactam antibiotics
contains a thiazolidine ring
penicillins and cephalosporins
Monobactam with a sulfonic acid attached to beta lactam ring
aztreonam (bactericidal–>binds transpeptidases inside the cell wall)
major difference between carbapenem and other penicillins
carbon atom in 5 membered ring as opposed to sulfer atom
Why does Imipenem need cilastatin
in the kidneys–> cilastin inhibits an enzyme that breaks down the drug, this increases imipenem activity and decreases nephrotoxicity
D.O.C for Staph. Aureus and Staph epi
*Gram-positive cocci
Penicillinase resistant penicllins
methicillin, nafcillin, oxacillin,
DOC for Strep (GROUPS A,B,C,G) and S. bovis
*(Gram-Positive cocci)
Pen G, Pen V, Ampicillin
DOC for Clostridium
(*bacilli)
Pen G
DOC for E. faecalis UTI
* Gram-Positive cocci
ampicillin and amoxicillin
DOC for Strep. pneumonia
*gram-positice cocci
Pen G, Pen V, Ampicillin
DOC for E. coli
*gram-negative bacilli
ampicillin, (*ampicillin+sulbactam), (Amoxicillin + Clavulanate)
DOC for P. Aeurginosa
gram-negative bacilli
piperacilli n/ tazobacta m
Unique features of cephalosporins
- more acid stable than penicillins
- possess 6 membered ring attached to a beta lactam ring
- 4 generations (gram positive activity is lost and gram negative activity is gain with each generation)
List the Cephalosporins
Cefazolin–>1st
Cephalexin–>1st
Ceftriaxone–>3rd
Cefepime–>3rd
Vancomycin MOA
forms H+ bonds with the D-ala D-ala moeities on the NAM/NAG peptides–>prevents long NAM/NAG polymers from forming–>also disrupts cross-linking between those polymers that do form–>cell wall weakens–> bacterium lyses
Vancomycin is a ( ) that interupts ( ) activity during cell wall formation.
- glycopeptide
2. transglycosylase
Solubility of Vanc
VERY POORLY SOLUBLE
- if infection is limited to GI tract–>orally because ti would not need to be absorbed to have an affect
- if ANYWHERESE ELSE–> IV
Glycopeptide antibiotics are only effective against _______
gram-positive bacteria
gram-negatives have LPS layers that protects their peptidoglycan wall from being disrupted
