Q

Antibiotic treatment increases the risk of what infection?

A

Clostridioides difficile

21
Q

goal is to reintroduce normal microbiota into the gut of someone with an intestinal disease of bacterial origin and have the transplanted microbial community become established and exclude the disease causing organisms

A

fecal transplant therapy

22
Q

ability of a drug to kill or inhibit pathogen while damaging host as little as possible

A

selective toxicity

23
Q

drug level required for clinical treatment

A

therapeutic dose

24
Q

drug level at which drug becomes too toxic for patient (produces side effects)

A

toxic dose

25
Q

ratio of toxic dose to therapeutic dose

A

therapeutic index

26
Q

What are four causes of antibiotic bacteria

A

over-prescribing, patients not finishing their treatment, lack of hygiene and poor sanitation, and lack of new antibiotics being developed

27
Q

What are the mechanisms of drug resistance and transfer?

A
  1. altered antibiotic target
  2. their is an antibiotic degrading enzyme
  3. antibiotic altering enzyme
  4. antibiotic is pushed out through the efflux pump
28
Q

What are the primary effector cells of the innate immune system?

A

phagocytes

29
Q

What are the phagocytes in the innate immune system?

A

dendritic cell, neutrophil, and macrophage

30
Q

What are the barriers of infection in the human body?

A
  • removal of particles
  • skin (physical barriers and produces antimicrobial fatty acids and antibacterial peptides)
  • stomach acidity- inhibits microbial growth
  • normal microbiota- compete with pathogens in the gut and on the skin
  • flushing of urinary tract
  • lysozyme- secretion
  • mucus and cilia lining tracks
  • blood and lymph proteins
  • rapid ph change
  • epithelial cells
31
Q

signal transduction in phagocytes, upon encountering a pathogen associated molecular pattern these will send a signal to the nucleus

A

toll like receptors

32
Q

How does the innate fight against viruses

A

the natural killer cell s recognize cells that do not display major histocompatibility complex 1 and if it lacks that and it displays a stress protein a natural killer cell will activate to destroy the target which is likely a virally infected or cancerous host cell

33
Q

the defense system with which you were born, It protects you against all antigens, involves barriers that keep harmful materials from entering your body, these barriers form the first line of defense in the immune response

Q

What are four antibiotic classes of drugs with there mode of action, specific target, and cellular consequence?

A
  1. B lactams (class), inhibit cell wall synthesis (mode of action), translation (target site), cell lysis and death (cellular consequence)
  2. Tetracyclines (class), inhibit protein synthesis (mode of action), translation (target site), cell can not replicate (cellular consequence)
  3. Quinolones (class), inhibit nucleic acid synthesis (mode of action), DNA gyrase (target), preventing supercoiling and packaging of DNA (cellular consequence)
  4. Sulfa drugs (class), inhibit metabolite synthesis (mode of action), DNA gyrase (target site), preventing supercoiling and packaging of DNA (cellular consequence)
