Question
Answer
Sulfonamides MOA   They are analogue of PABA hich binds dihydropeteroate synthase which would normally catalyze the first step of dihydrofolic acid synthesis (purine, thymidine- DNA)  
🗑
Trimethoprim MOA   Structural analogue of duhydrofolic acid, it binds the dihydrofolate reductase and inhibits the concversion of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate  
🗑
Rifampin MOA   Bacterialcidal binds to the B-subunit of RNA polymerase and inhibits the initation of transcription  
🗑
Nitrofurantion MOA   The AB is initially reduced to the ROS which interacts with DNA. At low concentrations it is a bacteriostatic at high it is a bacteriocidal  
🗑
Chlorampenicol MOA   Binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit. Bacteriostatic against most organisms but Bactericidal against S. pneumoniae, H. influ, N. meningitis  
🗑
Resistance of Sulfonamides   Intrinsic resistance (E. facalis, lactobacilli-auxotrophic for folic acid), aquired resistance via single chromosomal mutation or plasmid mediated, alterations in enzyme, or PABA  
🗑
Resistance of trimethoprim   Aquired resistance via chromosomal and plasmid mutation, decreased affinity of enzyme, hyperproduction of dihydrofolate, decrease porin permibility  
🗑
Resistance of Rifampin   Aquired mutation-single monotherapy lead to mutation of RNA polymerase B-subunit. ALWAYS USE COMBO DRUG  
🗑
Resistance of nitrofurantion   Aquired mutation causes reduced ROS generation or changes in permibility  
🗑
Gram + aerobic activity of sulfonamides   Acinomycetes, listeria, nocardia, mycobacteium, staph aureus, strep  
🗑
Gram- aerobic activity of sulfonamides   Burkholderia, enterobacteriae, heameophilus, neisseria, pseudomonas, stenotrophomonas  
🗑
Anaerobic activity of sulfonamides   bacteroides (not fragilis) Gardenerella  
🗑
Atypical activity of Sulfonamides   Chlaymidia, legionella  
🗑
Protozian activity of sulfonamides   Acanthamoeba, Pneumocystis, toxoplasma, plasmodium falciparum  
🗑
Fungi activity of sulfonamides   Histoplasma capsulatum, paracoccidodes brasilensis  
🗑
Gram + aerobe activity of Rifampin   Strep A, B, C, G, pneumonia,MSSA, MRSA, Coag(-),ornybacterium, listeria  
🗑
anaerobic activity of rifampin   NONE  
🗑
Gram - aerobe activity of rifampin   N. gonorrheae, meningitis, M. cararrhalis, H. influenza, F. tularensis, Brucella, bartonella henselae,  
🗑
Atypical activity of rifampin   Chlamydia, mycobacterium, leginella, Teberculosis,  
🗑
Gram + aerobic activity of nitrofurantion   Strep A, V, C, G, and pneumonia, MSSA, enterococcus  
🗑
Gram - aerobic activity of nitrofurantion   N. gonorrhoeae, E. coli, klebsiella, enterobacter, salmonella, shigella  
🗑
Anerobic activity of nitrofurantion   NONE  
🗑
Gram + aerobic activity of Chloramphenicol   Strep A, B, C, G, penumonia,MSSA, MRSA (some), enterococci, bacillus anthracis  
🗑
Gram + anaerobic   Actinomycetes, Clostridium, peptostreptococcus  
🗑
Gram - aerobes activity of chloramphenicol   Haemophilus, moraxella, aeromonas, salmonella, shiegella, e. coli, klebsiella, proteus, neisseria, vibria, brucella, yersina, pseudomonias (not aurginosa)  
🗑
Gram - anaerobes activity of chloramphenicol   Bacteroides, provotella  
🗑
Sulfonamides short to medium activity   Rapid absorption and elimination t1/2 11 hours  
🗑
Long acting sulfonamides   Only Silfathoxine used t1/2 100-200 hrs treatment for P. falcioarum  
🗑
Topical sulfonamides   Suldacetamide used in opthalamic and solutions  
🗑
Slufamethoxazole and trimethoprim clinical use   UTI, STD, FIRST LINE pneumonia, enteric infections  
🗑
Rifampin clinical used   Mycobacterial infections (pulmonary TB), Meningitis prophylaxis, Endocarditis, Meningitis  
🗑
Nitrofurantion clinical use   Uncomplicated UTI  
🗑
Chloramphenicol clinical use   Rarely used due to aplasic anemia which is not reversible!!!!  
🗑
