| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| D-cycloserine | Cell wall synthesis; blocks addition of dipeptide to UDP-NAM - second step so no PEP attaches |
| Bacitracin | cell wall synthesis; blocks dephosphoralizatoin of bactoprenol phosphate- middle step transports ppg monomers across cell membrane |
| PCN | cell wall synthesis; beta-lactamases; last step of binding to transpeptidase to reform the peptide cross links |
| Cephalosporin | cell wall synthesis; beta-lactamases; last step of binding to transpeptidase to reform the peptide cross links |
| cephamycin | cell wall synthesis |
| fosfomycin | inhibits cell wall synthesis; inhibits phosphoenopyruvate transferase adn prevents formation of NAM -- first step does not occur |
| metronidazole | disrupts DNA helical structure under anaerobic conditions |
| Quinolones, flouroquinolones | inhibits DNA gyrase or topoisomerase |
| rifampin | binds to RNA polymerase |
| polymyxins | interact with phospholipids |
| macrolides, erythromycin, choramphenicol | 50S inhibitors; translation-protein synthesis |
| tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, streptomycin | 30S inhibitors; translation-protein synthesis |
| Linezolid | initiating complex blocked; |
| sulfonamides | folate antagonist; blocks synthesis of dihydropteroic acid |
| trimethoprim | folate antagonist; blocks synthesiss of tetrahydrofolate |
