Beta Lactam Antibiotic Flashcards
(32 cards)
It impede bacterial cell wall synthesis through their distinctive beta-lactam ring structure.
Penicillins and cephalosporins
It also inhibit cell wall synthesis
Vancomycin, fosfomycin, and bacitracin
It directly disrupting the bacterial cell membrane.
Daptomycin
All penicillins are derived from?
6-aminopenicillanic acid
Beta-lactam antibiotics bind to
__________________________and
inhibit_____________________, the finalstep in cell wall synthesis.
• Also activate autolytic enzy
penicillin-binding proteins , transpeptidation
Penicillins are generally polar compounds with limited metabolic processing, often excreted unchanged in urine through ?
glomerular filtration and tubular secretion
nafcillin and ampicillin, which are primarily excreted in
Bile
The plasma half-lives of most penicillins typically range from
30 minutes to 1 hour
Beta-lactam antibiotics are bactericidal drugs that disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis
through binding to
penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)
Very-narrow-spectrum .This subclass includes ______,_______,______primarily used for treating staphylococcal infections.
methicillin, nafcillin, and oxacillin,
Wider-spectrum. have a broader antibacterial spectrum but are
susceptible to penicillinases. They treat infections caused by enterococci, E. coli, L. monocytogenes, P. mirabilis, H. influenzae, and M. catarrhalis and can be enhanced by penicillinase inhibitors.
Ampicillin and amoxicillin
Cephalosporin drug that is excreted in bile
Cefoperazone, ceftriaxone
Cephalosporin first generation drug
Cefazolin,caphalexin
Cephalosporin second generation
Cefaclor,cefuroxime ,cefprozil
Cephalosporin third generation
Ceftrazidime,cefoperazone,ceforaxime
Cephalosporin fourth generation
Cefepime,ceftaroline
Ceftaroline is effective in treating infections caused by
methicillin-resistant staphylococci
Beta lactamase inhibitor
Clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam
is a bactericidal glycoprotein that disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to the d-Ala-d-Ala terminal of peptidoglycan, inhibiting elongation and
cross-linking.
Vancomycin
acts as an antimetabolite inhibitor, targeting cytosolic
enolpyruvate transferase.
Fosfomycin
common side effect of fosfomycin
Diarrhea
a peptide antibiotic, disrupts the final stages of cell wall synthesis
in Gram-positive bacteria.
Bacitracin
acts as an antimetabolite, inhibiting the incorporation of d-Ala into the pentapeptide side chain of peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.
Cycloserine
Its use is restricted to treating drug-resistant tuberculosis due to the potential
for neurotoxic side effects, which may include
tremors, seizures, and
psychosis.
