TermDefinition
translation occur in ribosome RNA converts to PRO (protein synthesis)
transcription occur in cytoplasm DNA converts to mRNA
bacteria cell wall, 50s/30s ribosomes, prokaryotic
gram - bacteria peptidoglycan, cell wall not on surface, porins
gram + bacteria cell wall thicker than gram-bacteria, has murein, peptidoglycan, induce beta-lactamases, cell wall located on surface of cell
porins channels on bacteria that allow abx to enter and leave bacteria cell

human cell has cell membrane, eukaryotic
bacteriostatic stop growth/replication = cell death stasis = stop
bacteriocidal kills bacteria cidal = kill
peptidoglycan: n-acetylglucosamine acid n-acetylmuramic acid polymer, located between 2 cell membrane in the middle of gram - and +, strong, cross-linked chain made up of 2 AA to form polysaccharide chain, creates cell wall

drug efflux pumps located in intestines and cell wall of bacteria, transport pump, dumps abx in and out of bacteria = cannot inhibit transpeptidase = growth of bacteria cell wall

hapten small molecule that stimulates production of antibody molecules only when attach to a larger molecule (PCN)
Extended spectrum PCN beta lactam ampicillin, amoxicillin; fight gram - rods, E.coli, Samonella, susceptible to beta lactamases so use with b-lactamase inhibitors
Anti-Staphyloccal PCN beta lactam methicillin, nafcillin; resistant to staph beta lactamase, work against staph, strep, pneumococci
Amoxicillin extended spectrum PCN, beta lactam, absorption not decreased by food
Nafcillin PCN resistant ABX (penicillinase), anti-staphyloccal PCN, beta-lactam
Cephalosporins beta lactam, broader activity, stable against b-lactamases, 5 generations, made from mold, IV/PO, cross-reactivity to PCN so caution w/pts. allergic to PCN; excretion: renal/biliary

first generation cephalosporins beta-lactam,limited range of activity, active against g+ cocci
second and third generation cephalosporins beta-lactam, expanded gram-coverage, treat wide variety of infections, unknown to b-lactamases susceptibility
fourth generation cephalosporins beta-lactam; resistant to b-lactamases, CNS penetration: cross BBB, better against PCN resistant streptococci, similar to 3rd generation
fifth generation cephalosporins beta lactam,IV only, active against gram+(MRSA, VRSA, VISA), used for bacterial skin infections acute, community acquired pneumonia
monobactam beta-lactam, 1 ring, resistant to b-lactamase, no PCN cross-reactivity, active against gram-rods, inactive against gram+ and anaerobic bacteria
Aztreonam (Azactam) monobactam
Cefepime (Maxipime) 4th generation cephalosporin
Ceftaroline (Teflaro) 5th generation cephalosporin
Cefazolin (Ancef) 1st generation cephalosporin, IV/IM, used for surgical prophylaxis
Carbapenems beta lactam, resistant to b-lactamase, widest spectrum, prescribed with cilastin (primaxin)
Imipenem carbapenems (beta lactam)
Cilastin (primaxin) inhibits dehydropeptidase (which inhibits imipenem, renal enzyme located in renal tubules occur during reabsorption)
Inhibit bacterial DNA synthesis antifolate, DNA gyrase inhibitors (fluoroquinolones), sulfonamides, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX),pyrimethamine
Antifolate inhibit bacterial DNA synthesis, no production of purines and nucleic acids = no DNA
Sulfonamides inhibit bacterial DNA synthesis,rarely used, compete with PABA for dihydopteroate synthase enzyme, widespread resistance (mutation), fever, skin rash, dermatitis, photosensitivity, crystalluria(sulfa in urine), bone marrow suppression, stevens-Johnson
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (tmp-smx) inhibit bacterial DNA synthesis, PO/IV, eliminated in urine, used for UTI, broad spectrum, synergism, trimethoprim: concentrates in vaginal and prostatic fluid
