41
Q

Common synergistic:

A

beta-lactam + aminoglycosides

42
Q

What is it called when the The antibiotic never possessed activity against the pathogen?

A

Intrinsic resistance

43
Q

This is achieved through transfer of genetic material that confers resistance

A

Acquired resistance

44
Q

What type of antibiotic resistance do we test for?

A

*WE TEST FOR ACQUIRED RESISTANCE NOT INTRINSIC RESISTANCE

45
Q

examples of acquired resistance?

A

Horizontal gene transfer:

o Transduction
o Conjugation
Often Plasmid mediated

46

47
Q

beta-lactamase gene responsible for resistance to ampicillin

48
Q

codes for PBP2A that has a lower affinity for beta-lactams, penicillin resistance

A

mecA gene (For MRSA)

49
Q

codes the beta subunit of RNA polymerase for Rifampin resistance

A

VanA, VanB, VanC

VanA is the most common on Enterococcus faecalis

51
Q

What is the D-test used for?

A

determine if organisms can have inducible resistance to clindamycin by erythromycin. (Erm gene)

52
Q

When must a D-Test be performed?

A

Any Staphylococcus or beta streptococcus that test susceptible to clindamycin and RESISTANT to erythromycin

53
