Wk 2 Antibiotics Flashcards
Antimicrobial
any substance of natural, semi-synthetic or synthetic origin which
has ability to kill or inhibit growth of microbes with minimal / no damage to the
host
Antibiotic class
Those w/ similar chem structure and MOA
Baceriostatic
Antibiotic prevents growth of bacteria
Bactericidal
Antibiotic kills bacteria
Penicillinase/beta-lactamase
bacterial enzyme which inactivates the beta-
lactam ring of Penicillins and other beta-lactams
Beta-lactamase inhibitors
protect β-lactam antibiotics from inactivation by the β-
lactamase enzyme
Beta-lactam antibiotics
Penicillins, cephalosporins, Carbapenems, Monobactam
Beta-lactam antibiotics
Penicillins, cephalosporins, Carbapenems, Monobactam
What are the two types of antibiotic killing?
- Concentration-dependent
* Aminoglycosides (Gentamicin, Tobramycin, Amikacin)
* Metronidazole
* Fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin)
* Daptomycin - Time-dependent
* Β-lactams (Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Monobactam, Carbapenems)
* Glycopeptides (Vancomycin)
* Macrolides
* Clindamycin
* Linezolid
* Tetracyclines
