Question
Answer
penicillins   β-lactam  
🗑
cephlosporins   β-lactam  
🗑
Selective toxicity   Harming bacterial cells while leaving human cells alone  
🗑
Are bacteriocidal   β-lactam  
🗑
Vancomycin   Used to combat MRSA  
🗑
Target of β-lactam drugs   Transpepidase enzyme  
🗑
Penicillin V   Orally active penicillin  
🗑
Penicillin G   Orally inactive penicillin  
🗑
β-lactam   Resemble natural substrate for transpepidase enzyme (non-competitive inhibitor)  
🗑
Augmentin   Includes a β-lactamase inhibitor  
🗑
Methicillin   β-lactamase resistant  
🗑
Amoxicillin   Broad-spectrum penicillin  
🗑
Carbenicillin   Extended-spectrum penicillin  
🗑
Vancomycin   Looks like substrate that binds to peptide chains and stops elongation of strand  
🗑
Vancomycin   Minimal resistance due to very specific interaction with D-Ala-D-Ala  
🗑
Bacitracin   Carrier is its target  
🗑
Sulphonamides & Trimethoprim   Inhibit folate pathway in bacteria by resembling PABA bit of folic acid  
🗑
Dihydropteroate synthetase   Target for sulphonamides  
🗑
Dihydrofolate reductase   Target for trimethoprim  
🗑
Example of a sequential blockade   Use of SMX-TMP  
🗑
Bacterial Ribosome Size   50-30s  
🗑
Human Ribosome Size   60-40s  
🗑
Aminoglycosides   Ribosomal Inhibitors  
🗑
Sulphonamides and Trimethoprim   Anti-folates  
🗑
Streptomycin   An aminoglycoside  
🗑
Tetracyclines   Easily orally and topically absorbed drugs that prevent attachment of tRNA to acceptor site on mRNA  
🗑
Aminoglycosides   Very polar drugs that bind to bacterial ribosome and change their shape  
🗑
Chloramphenicol   Binds to 50s ribosomal subunit and prevents formation of peptide bond  
🗑
Erythromycin   A macrolide  
🗑
Clindamycin   A lincosamde  
🗑
Lincosamides   Binds to 50s subunit, inhibiting peptidyl-transferase and translocation  
🗑
All bind to 50s subunit   Reason Chloramphenicol, Erythromycin, and Clindamycin are viewed as a threesome  
🗑
Chloraphenicol   Lipid soluable so able to easily penetrate blood brain barrier  
🗑
Tetracyclines   Good for chlamydia and rickettsial infections  
🗑
Tetracyclines   Shouldn't be given to children because of binding to Ca++ in bone and teeth  
🗑
Aminoglycosides   Shouldn't be given to children because of ototoxicity  
🗑
Chloramphenicol   Can cause serious myelosuppression  
🗑
Clindomycin   Associated with pseudomembranous colitis due to overgrowth of C. difficile  
🗑
Fluoroquinolones   Broad spectrum drugs that Inhibit topoisomerase (gyrase) II enzyme  
🗑
Ciprofloxacin   A Fluoroquinolone  
🗑
