| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Bacteria | Single-celled organisms occurring in most environments |
| Infection | Condition in which bacteria grow in body tissues and cause tissue damage by their presence or by toxins they produce |
| Types of Bacteria are | Aerobic & Anaerobic |
| Aerobic | Needs oxygen to survive |
| Anaerobic | Survives in the absence of oxygen |
| Bacteria Shapes are | Round cocci, Rod-like bacilli, Spiral-shaped spirochetes |
| Gram-positive bacteria | turn purple such as rods corynebacteria related to endocarditis, cocci staphylococcus related to toxic shock syndrome, spiral campylobacter related to septicemia |
| Gram-negative bacteria | appear red such as rods e. coli related to uti, cocci Neisseria related to gonorrhea, spirochetes treponema palladium related to syphillis |
| Antibiotics like Sulfonamides | Prevent folic acid synthesis |
| Antibiotics like Penicillins & Cephalosporins | Inhibit cell wall formation |
| Antibiotics like Macrolides, Tetracyclines, & Aminoglycosides | Block protein formation |
| Antibiotics Interfere with | DNA formation |
| Antibiotics like Cyclic lipopeptides | Disrupt cell membranes |
| Antibiotics like Metronidazole | Disrupt DNA structure |
| Mix antibiotics exactly as | directed by manufacturer |
| Swab counting tray with alcohol between drugs to prevent | cross-contamination |
| Most antibiotics are taken on an empty stomach to | attain faster absorption |
| nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin) & cefuroxime (Ceftin, Zinacef) should be | taken with food |
| Antimicrobial Resistance is Developing largely because of | Overuse & Misuse |
| Antimicrobial Resistance is also Developing largely because | Superinfection may occur |
| Pharmacy technicians must place a label on antibiotics advising patient to | take all of the medication |
| bacteria | small, single-celled microorganisms that exist in three main forms: spherical (i.e., cocci), rod shaped (i.e., bacilli), and spiral (i.e., spirilla) |
| infection | a condition in which bacteria grow in body tissues and cause tissue damage to the host either by their presence or by toxins they produce |
| aerobic | needs oxygen to survive |
| anaerobic | survives in the absence of oxygen |
| Gram staining | a testing technique in which bacteria are stained to determine if they are gram-positive (purple) or gram-negative (red) |
| bactericidal agent | an agent that kills the invading organism |
| bacteriostatic agent | an agent that inhibits the growth or multiplication of bacteria |
| superinfection | a new infection complicating the course of therapy of an existing infection |
