Question
Answer
PCNs MOA   inhibit cell wall synthesis  
🗑
Vancomycin MOA   (glycopeptide) - inhibit peptidoglycan cross-linking  
🗑
Aminoglycosides MOA   (tobramycin, gentamycin, neomycin) - stop mRNA translation  
🗑
Quinolones MOA   DNA gyrase inhibitors: inhibit bacterial DNA synthase  
🗑
Macrolides MOA   inhibit 50S ribosome => decreased protein synthesis  
🗑

🗑
Classes of Abx that are protein synthesis inhibitor   Aminoglycosides. Tetracyclines. Macrolides. Choramphenicol. Clindamycin.  
🗑
Antimetabolites =   Sulfonamides  
🗑
Protein synthesis inhibitor MOA   Bind to ribosomes and prevent protein synthesis => cell death & decreased replication  
🗑
1st gen cephalosporins activity   Cefazolin & cephalexin: gram pos (Staph / Strep), skin infxn, surg ppx  
🗑
2nd gen cephalosporins activity   Cefaclor, cefoxitin, cefuroxime: more GN activity (E coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, H flu); intra-abd infxn

🗑
Penicillin is used to tx (3):   Syphilis, GBS (in PG female), N meningitides  
🗑
Beta-lactamase PCNs include:   nafcillin, oxacillin, dicloxacilin, cloxacillin, and Cillian Murphy  
🗑
Beta-lactamase PCNs tx these types of infxn (3)   Staph spp (not MRSA), skin infxn, osteomyelitis
