Glycopeptides
Gram positive pathogens
-Staphylococcus
-Streptococcus
-Enterococcus
-C-diff
-Have a very large cell wall surrounding it.
Know these 4 and assume all others are negative
Gram negative pathogens
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, meningitidies, e-coli, pasturella, psudomonas, legionella, and atypical pneumonia pathogens.
Have very small/thin call wall with two membranes
Aminoglycosides
-Streptomycin, gentamycin
-Targets Gram negative
-Inhibits protein synthesis
-Treats bacteremia and abdominal infections.
Cephalosporins
-Ceftiaxone, cefepime.
-Targets gram positive and negative
-Inhibits call wall synthesis
-Treats skin, urinary and respiratory infections.
Tetracyclines
-Tetracycline, doxycycline
-Targets gram positive and negative
-Inhibits protein synthesis
-Treats lyme disease, PID and STIs.
