Drugs with structures containing beta-lactam ring
Beta-lactam Antibiotics
Stronger drugs that produce greater adverse effects
Last Resort Antimicrobials
Inhibitor to protect hydrolysable penicillin from inactivation
Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor
Lowest concentration to inhibit growth of an organism
Minimal Inhibitory Concentration
Lowest concentration of killing 99.9% of bacteria
Minimum Bactericidal Concentration
Acts as the initial receptors for penicillin and other beta-lactam antibitocs
Penicillin-Binding Proteins
T/F
PBP2a increases the affinity to drugs; decreases drug resistance
False
Decreases the affinity to drugs; increases drug resistance
Chains of polysaccharides and polypeptides that are cross-linked
Peptidoglycan
A bacterial enzyme involved in the cross-linking of linear peptidoglycan chains
Transpeptidase
T/F
In selective toxicity, It is more toxic to the host than to the invader
False! duh
It’s more toxic for the invader
T/F
Increase permeability; decrease in resistance
luh kala mo false noh
TRUE yan gaga
T/F
Adjunctive agents are Beta-Lactamase Inhibitors that can protect against antibiotic inactivation.
