antibotics part 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| widespread emergence of bacterial resistance to tetracycides and macrolides has drivena new class of antibiotics called what? | Streptogrammins |
| why were streptogrammins made | first synthetic antibiotic made to fight bacterial resistance to tetracyclides and macrolides |
| which drug is a streptogrammin | quinuristine-dalfopristine |
| quinupristine-dalfoprisiting is classed as what? | streptogrammin |
| what is important about streptogrammin amongst other drugs that inhiit protein synthesis? | it is rapidly bacteriocidal instead of bacteriostatic |
| which drug to treat vnavomycin resistant infections? | streptogrammin - quinupristine-dalfopristine |
| what does quinupristine-dalfoprisitne treat? | multi-drug resistant gram positive organisms and vnacmycin resistant infections |
| which drug is an oxazolidinone | linezolid (zyvox) |
| what does linezolid treat | drug resistant gram post organismes like MRSA, VRE |
| which durgs are aminoglycocides? | Streptomycin, gentamicin, tobramycin, |
| describe the davis model | drugs cause bacteria to make faulty proteins leading to damage and eventual bacteria cell death |
| what does aminoglycocides treat? | gram negative enteric bacteria |
| administering aminoglycosides | often given with other drugs ike beta lactams and vanco for sundergistic mechanisms and extended coverage |
| which amino glycosides are used topically? | tobramycin and kanamycin |
| what is tobramycin used for | aminoglycoside inhalation for p. aeruginosa |
| aminoglycoside route | not given orally poor bioavailabilit |
| side effects of aminoglycosides | otto and nephrotoxicity |
| how is resistance made to aminoglycocides? | inactivation of bacterial enzyes, decreased penetration, mutation of 30s ribsomal subunit so aminoglycoside ownt beable to bind to it |
| which drugs inhibit DNA synthesis? | antifolate drugs, DNA gyrase inhibitors |
| which drug is an antifolate drug? | sulfonamides and pyrimidine like trimethroprim |
| why is folate needed | to make purines for nucleic acid |
| how does sulfonamide work | competes with PABA for Dihydopteroate enzyme. looks like PABA |
| what is dihydopteroate used for | to make purines and thus build DNA |
| wy is resistance such a big problem with sulfa? | everyone has had a sulfa drug |
| how does trimethroprim work? | inhibits dihydrofolate reductase in protozoa |
| why do antifolate drugs not affect human cells? | unlike bacteria we do not make our own folat we get ours from dietary intake. |
| how are drugs resistant to sulfa? | over productions of PABA, lower affinity for drug, permeability to drug is decreased |
| which drug is mainstay for UTI infections? | Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole |
| adverse effect of sulfanomide | fever, skin rash rarely stevens johnson syndrme, urine precipitates |
| what is important to know baout drugs that affect folate | it also affects rapidly dividing cells adn can cause bonemarrow supression |
| which drug is a pyrimethamine | trimethoprim analog |
| whatother infections can trimethoprim be used for | protozoa infections like leshmaniasis , toxoplasmosis |
| if a woman has had a rash from using bactrim and anaphylaxis with penicillin how else can we treat ehr uti | fluroquinolones |
| how does flouroquinolone work | inhibit DNA gyrase which prevents uncoiling of DNA and thus prevenitng replicaiton and transcription |
| what is DNA gyrase | it is an enzyme that removes the coiling of DNA strands so it an be transcribed and replciated |
| ow are florouquinolones excreted | Renal |
| how are resistnace to fluroquinoloes devlpe? | most common in staph and pseudomonas infections, mutation of DNA gyrase binding site, high cross resistance to all fluroquinolone |
| which drugs are fluroquinolones | ciprofloxacin, levoflocacin, moxifloxacin, |
| adverse effect of fluroquinolones | generally well tolerated, potential for QT elongation esleiall with class 1 and 2 antiarrythmic drugs and worse with hypokalemia |
| should flouroquinolones be given to children? |
