Question
Answer
Drug that are cell wall synthesis inhibitors (4)   Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Vancomycin, Daptomycin  
🗑
Drugs that are inhibitors of protein synthesis (4)   Aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol, macrolides, tetracyline  
🗑
Drugs that are antimetabolites (2)   Sulfonamides and Trimethoprim  
🗑
Drugs that affect membrane permeability (2)   Polymyxin B, Gramicidin  
🗑
Drugs that affect DNA replication & repair   Fluroquinolones  
🗑
Gram-positive bacteria structure features   Cytoplasmic membrane, thick peptidoglycan, capsule, pilus, teichoic acid  
🗑
Gram-negative bacteria structure features   Cytoplasmic membrane, periplasmic space, thin peptidoglycan, out membrane with porins, capsule, pilus  
🗑
cell wall feature that gives rigidity, maintains the balance of osmotic pressure and keeps bacterium from lysing   peptidoglycan  
🗑
Bacteria cell wall made of this kind of sugar linkage   alpha 1,4-glycosidic linkages  
🗑
bacteria specific peptide linkage   D-Ala-D-Ala peptide linkage (links nearby sugars)  
🗑
first stage of baterial cell wall synthesis   Formation of UDP-AMP inside the cell  
🗑
function of UDP-AMP   cross-linker unit  
🗑
second stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis   Transfer of UDP-AMP through the membrane with modification and linkage to the cell wall  
🗑
Vancomycin works on this stage of cell wall synthesis   second stage (addition of the single unit - UPD-AMP - linkage to the cell wall)  
🗑
third stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis   Once inserted into the wall cross-linking reactions and modification of the wall components  
🗑
Penicillins and cephalosporins work on this stage of cell wall synthesis   third stage (peptide cross-link formation between carbohydrate polymers)  
🗑
how does vancomycin bind to D-Ala-D-Ala   via hydrogen bonds  
🗑
polypeptide antibacterial inhibitors are active against which organisms   they are only active against gram-positive (dont get taken up by gram-negative membrane very well)  
🗑
polypeptide antibacterial inhibitors (3)   Vancomycin, Teicoplanin and Bacitracin  
🗑
Van A resistance gene   confers resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin is inducible and most likely on a transferable plasmid  
🗑
Van B & C resistance genes   confers resistance to vancomycin only - Van B is chromosomal and non-transferable  
🗑
in high level resistance, D-Ala-D-Ala peptidoglycan gets replaced with this   D-Ala-D-lactate  
🗑
new drug (lipopeptide) that is bactericidal to resistant gram positive pathogens   Daptomycin  
🗑
Daptomycin currently approved for this use   Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Iinfections (CSSSI)  
🗑
Daptomycin mechanism   Binds irreversibly to the cytoplasmic membrane, depolarizes the membrane in a calcium dependent manner  
🗑
Daptomycin is a potent bactericidal against these gram positive resistant organisms   VRE and MRSA  
🗑
Penicillins and Cephalosporins (B-lactams) mimick this peptide   D-Ala-D-Ala  
🗑
B-lactams are these types of enzymes   PBP 1a & 1b - transpeptidases  
🗑
B-lactamases may have evolved from these   penicillin binding proteins (PBP)  
🗑
bacterial strains deficient in this, are susceptible to inhibition of transpeptidase, but not lysis   autolysin  
🗑
3 factors determining activity of Cephalosporin or Penicillins   1) Binding affinity for target enzymes 2) Ability to penetrate the outer membrane envelope 3) Sensitivity to inactivation by b-lactamase  
🗑
two main components of beta-lactam antibiotic structure   Thiazolidine ring and Beta-lactam ring  
🗑
Broad spectrum antibiotics are based on this ability   ability to penetrate the gram-negative cell membrane  
🗑
Penicillins Group I and II spectrum   Narrow Spectrum  
🗑
natural penicillins (narrow spectrum)   Penicillin G, Pen V  
🗑
Penicillins Groups III and IV spectrum   Broad Spectrum  
🗑
broad spectrum penicillins (2)   ampicillin and amoxicillin  
🗑
only class of penicillins that have activity against pseudomonas   ureidopenicillins (group V)  
🗑
two main components of cephalosporin antibiotic structure   Dihydrothiazine ring and beta-lactam ring  
🗑
in which type of bacteria are beta-lactamases a problem   gram-negative bacteria  
🗑
beta-lactamase resistance is due to this mechanism   hydrolyzing the lactam ring  
🗑
where is beta-lactamase in gram-positive bacteria   excreted out into the environment (gets diluted, so less likely to hydrolyze the lactam ring)  
🗑
where is beta-lactamase in the gram-negative bacteria   sitting in the periplasmic space (chances of the drug getting hydrolyzed are much higher)  
🗑
high conservation between these bacterial enzymes suggests common ancestry   beta-lactamases and the D-Ala carboxypeptidases  
🗑
MRSA determined by this   chromosomal gene transferred by transduction (requires penicillinase plasmid)  
🗑
supplementary PBP's acquired in MRSA have this   lowered affinity for methicillin and other b-lactams  
🗑
drug of choice for MRSA infections   Vancomycin (with rifampin in life threatening cases)  
🗑
b-lactamase Inhibitors   Tazobactam and clavulanic acid  
🗑
Tazobactam   latest beta-lactamase inhibitor developed has the same mechanism as clavulanic acid but is more potent  
🗑
