Antibiotic Drugs Flashcards
(20 cards)
The ___________ are single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and nuclear membrane. It has a cell wall, that determines its shape.
Prokaryotes
___________ is a Scottish physician who discovered the mold that produced penicillin, which was the first antibiotic to be used and marketed.
Alexander Fleming
The ___________ is a substances that inhibit bacterial growth or kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
Antibacterial Drugs
___________ is a Danish bacteriologist that devised a method to classify bacteria using the Gram-stain method.
Hans Christian Gram
The ___________ amount of antibacterial drug to halt the growth of microorganisms.
Minimum
Enumerate the Five Mechanisms of Antibacterial Action:
1) inhibition of bacterial cell-wall synthesis
2) alteration of membrane permeability
3) inhibition of protein synthesis
4) inhibition of the synthesis of bacterial RNA and DNA
5) interference with metabolism within the cell
List at least Five Antibiotic Drugs:
Ampicillin
Amoxicillin
Piperacillin
Cefazolin
Cefoxitin
Cefotaxime
Ceftazidime
Cefepime
Aztreonam
Imipenem
Amikacin
Gentamicin
Ciprofloxacin
Tigecycline
Trimethoprim
The ___________ used to treat infections caused by Mycobacterium bacterial species.
Antituberculosis
The ___________ is a tuberculosis that demonstrates resistance to two or more drugs.
Multi-Drug Resistant TB
The ___________ is a diagnostic injection given intradermally in doses of 5 tuberculin units (0.1 mL) to detect the exposure to the tuberculosis (TB) organism.
Purified Protein Derivative (PPD)
List the Step of Diagnosis of Tuberculosis:
Step 1: Tuberculin skin test (Mantoux test)
Step 2: If skin test results are positive, then chest radiograph
Step 3: If chest radiograph shows signs of tuberculosis, then culture of sputum or stomach secretions
The ___________ is a vaccine injection derived from an inactivated strain of mycobacterium bovis. This can cause false-positive results on the tuberculin skin test.
Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG)
___________ is a fungi that cause integumentary infections.
Dermatophytes
___________ is a term used to describe fungal infection.
Mycosis
___________ are commonly used and often administered without prescription for oral and vaginal mycoses.
Topical Antifungal Drugs
The malaria can be transmitted through bite of an infected female anopheles mosquito. It can al be transmitted through (1)___________, (2)__________ or through use of (3)___________.
(1) Blood Transfusions
(2) Mother to Child
(3) Contaminated Needles
List the Antimalarial Drugs that inhibits DNA and RNA polymerase and raises the pH within the parasite which interferes with the parasite’s ability to metabolize and use erythrocyte’s hemoglobin
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine;
Mefloquine and Quinine
The ___________ cannot affect the parasite during its sexual cycle (inside the mosquito) but during its asexual stage (inside the human body)
Antimalarial Drugs
The antimalarial drugs used to kill ___________ and work during the phases of the parasite’s growth inside humans.
Plasmodium organisms
The ___________ are very specific with the worms they can kill, thus accurate identification of causative organisms prior to treatment is necessary.
Anti-helminthic Drugs
