Antibiotic Drugs Flashcards
(20 cards)
It also known as prokaryotes they are single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and nuclear membrane
Bacteria
He discovered the mold that produced Penicillin which was the first antibiotic to be used and marketed
Alexander Fleming
He devised a method to classify bacteria using the Gram-stain method
Hans Christian Gram
These drugs are either obtained from natural sources or are manufactured
Antibacterial Drugs
Kind of drugs that penetrate the bacterial cell wall and have an affinity for the bacteria’s binding sites
Antibacterial Drugs
It refers to the minimum amount of antibacterial drug to halt the growth of microorganisms – study the amount of medication that is given to the client. Serum/sputum or specimen
MEC
It is the mechanism of Antibacterial action that destroy bacteria’s cell wall
a. inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis
b. alteration of membrane permeability
c.inhibition of protein synthesis
d. inhibition of the synthesis of bacterial RNA and DNA
A
It is the mechanism of Antibacterial action that disrupt the concentration of bacteria
a. inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis
b. alteration of membrane permeability
c.inhibition of protein synthesis
d. inhibition of the synthesis of bacterial RNA and DNA
B
It is the mechanism of Antibacterial action that stops or kills the bacteria
a. inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis
b. alteration of membrane permeability
c.inhibition of protein synthesis
d. inhibition of the synthesis of bacterial RNA and DNA
C
It is the mechanism of Antibacterial action that stops multiplication
a. inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis
b. alteration of membrane permeability
c.inhibition of protein synthesis
d. inhibition of the synthesis of bacterial RNA and DNA
D
It is the mechanism of Antibacterial action that can be folic acid synthesis/ can only interfere with bacteria cell
a. inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis
b. alteration of membrane permeability
c.inhibition of protein synthesis
d. interference with metabolism within the cell
D
It is the type of resistance that occurs without previous exposure to the drug
Inherit
It is the type of resistance caused by prior exposure to the antibacterial
Acquired
It is the type of effect that is equal to the sum of the effects of two antibiotics
Additive effect
It is the type of effect that occurs when one antibiotic increases the effectiveness of the 2nd drug
Potentiative effect
It is the type of effect that when two drugs are used together, the desired effect may be greatly reduced – 2 medications are not compatible
Antagonistic effect
It is the type of therapy when a drug selected is known to be the best drug that can kill the MO. Experienced by a physician and evidence-based practice
Empiric therapy
It is a type of therapy that once the MO is identified in the lab, the antibiotic therapy is tailored by using the most narrow-spectrum, least toxic drug based on C&S results.
Definitive therapy
It is the type of therapy that when signs and symptoms do not improve
Subtherapeutic
This occurs when the antibiotics reduce or completely eliminate the normal bacterial flora
Superinfection
