Question
Answer
drugs that alter the bacteria cell wall   fosfomycin, cycloserine, vancomycin, bacitracin, B lactams  
🗑
how does fosfomycin work   binds covalently to muramic acid synthesizing enzyme to inhibit synthesis of Muramic  
🗑
how are bacteria developing fosfomycin resistance   decreased uptake  
🗑
how does cycloserine work?   inhibits synthesis of D-ala D-ala  
🗑
how are bacteria becoming resistant to cycloserine   decreased uptake  
🗑
how does vancomycin work   binds D-ala D-ala and prevents transglycosylation  
🗑
how are bacteria becoming resistant to vancomycin   they alter D-ala D-ala to make it D-ala-D lactate  
🗑
who is especially resitant to vancomycin   enterococcus  
🗑
how does bacitracin work   blocks dephosphyorylation of lipid carriers  
🗑
what does bacitracin and vancomycin work against   Gram +  
🗑
how does b lactams work   inhibits PBP which carry out crosslinking, it inhibits transpeptidation  
🗑
are B-lactams bacteriocidal or bacteriostatic   cidal  
🗑
what does the b lactam ring mimic   the D-ala D-ala of the peptidoglycan precursor  
🗑
how do b lactams differ   different side chains same nucleus  
🗑
who are two b-lactamase inhibitors   clavulanic acid and sulbactam  
🗑
What drugs work on cell membrane   polymyxin  
🗑
how does polymyxin work   cationic detergent that binds LPS  
🗑
how is polymyxin applied   topical kills even non-dividing gram neg bacteria  
🗑
what drugs work on the DNA structure   nitrofuantoin adn metronidazole  
🗑
how do drugs that work on the DNA structure function   the nitro group is reduced by a nitroreductase and makes a reactive species that cleaves DNA  
🗑
nitrofurantoin and metroniadazole are only effective against?   anaerobes  
🗑
what drugs alter DNA synthesis   quinolones, fluoroquinolones  
🗑
how do drugs that alter DNA synthesis work?   inhibits DNA gyrase, topoisomerase II blocks DNA supercoiling  
🗑
how are bacteria resistant to quinolones   alter target  
🗑
what drugs alter RNA synthesis   Rifamycins  
🗑
how does rifamycin work   blocks RNA polmerase  
🗑
how does resistance to rifamycin work   alter B subunit of RNA polymerase  
🗑
drugs that alter protein synthesis are static or cidal   static  
🗑
what drugs affect the 50S ribosomal unit   chloramphenicol, macrolides (azithromycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin), lincosamides  
🗑
how do choramphenicols work   bind reversibly to exit tunnel of 50s  
🗑
how do the macrolides work (erythro, azithro, clarithro)   block translocation and elongation  
🗑
how does resistance develope to macrolides   alter target  
🗑
how do lincosamides work   binds 50S and blocks peptide bond formation  
🗑
how does tetracyclin work   stops tRNA from binding  
🗑
who should not get tetracyclin   pregnant women and children (bone seeking)  
🗑
how have bacteria become resistant to tetracyclin   decreased uptake increased efflux  
🗑
how do aminoglycosides work   bind irreversibly to 30S  
🗑
what is special about aminoglycosides   they are bacteriocidal  
🗑
when are aminoglycosides useful   anerobic conditions  
🗑
how are bacteria becoming resistant to aminoglycosides   alter target, inactivate the drug, decrease uptake  
🗑
how does bactrim work   inhibits thymine synth via blockage of dihydropteroate synthetase  
🗑
is bactrim static or cidal   static  
🗑
how has resistance developed to bactrim   alter target, decrease uptake, increase level of target enzymes  
🗑
how does trimethoprim work   inhibits thymine synth  
🗑
how are bacteria becoming resistant to trimethoprim   increase level of targer or alter target  
🗑
what does isoniazid do   inhibits mycolic acid synthesis  
🗑
when is mycolic acid important   M. Tb  
🗑
prblem with isoniazid   hepatotoxic  
🗑
