Tetracyclines And Chlormaphenicol Flashcards
Tetracyclines are broad or narrow spectrum
Broad spectrum
Mechanism of action of tetracycline
Prevents the binding of aminoacyl tRNA to the ribosome
Which reads the mRNA codon
Tetracycline is Bacteriocidial or bacteriostatic
Bacteriostatic
Mode of administration of tetracycline
Orally
Preferably on an empty stomach
Chloramphenicol mode of action is by
Inhibiting peptide bond formation used for enlongation of amino acids at the 50s ribosome
Chloramphenicol is Bacteriocidial or static
Bacterostatic
Chloramphenicol a narrow or broad spectrum antibiotics
Broad spectrum
Tetracycline which are lipophillic in nature is
Doxycycline and minocycline
What tetracycline are easily absorbed in the git
Doxycycline and minocycline
All tetracycline are excreted in the urine except
And there excretion point
Minocycline and doxycycline
Feaces
Chloramphenicol is synthesized from
Streptomyces Venezuelae
Chloramphenicol is mainly used during
Life threatening meningitis or ricketsettal infection
Chloramphenicol moves through cell membranes by what mechanism
Facilitated diffusion
