Chapter 12- Antiinfective and Antimicrobics Flashcards
(41 cards)
Antibiotics
confined to antibacterial antibiosis
Antifungals
systemic or deep infections, topical for dermatophytosos
Antivirals
not very effective and they are expensive
Resistance scale
Prions, endospores, protozoal cysts, non-enveloped viruses, fungi gram negative bacteria (red), gram positive bacteria (purple), and lipid enveloped viruses
Surfactant
reduces surface tension adn adherence of dirt and organic matter
sanitizing
removing dirt and organic debris via two steps of dry and wet cleaning
disinfection
reducing or killing pathogensto low levels
contact time
important to efficacy of chemical
sporicidial
capable of killing endospores
cidial
kills
static
slows/inhibits antimicrobics
antispesis
reduction of bacteria in biological setting, actually touches skin
sterilization
complete absence of life
Halogens
Hypchlorites- bleach for parvocide
Tamed iodide- topical antiseptics is usual application
use betadine a lot
Phenolics
simple organic materials, not as corrosive, cant us as a skin antispetic
Quats
Not for cold sterile
non effective against the hard to kill
use to wipe things down
Aldehydes
broad spectrum, usually alkanized an aqueous aldehyde is formalin buffered glutaraldehyde functional sterilization after 10h immersion vapors can be toxic
Alcohols
include isopropyl at 70%- materials have to sit for 10 min
dissolves through fat and oils
70% works better than 100 or 50%
MOA is coagulation of bacterial proteins
Biguanides
MOA is protein denaturation
fairly broad spectrum and fast acting
Chlorhexidine gluconate
will not kill zoonatic spores
Oxidizers
Hydrogen peroxide
effective against bacteria, viruses, spores and fungi
when it hits an enzyme catalase turns into water and free oxygen
what are antibiotic action mechanisms
inhibitors of cell wall synthesis
disruption of cell membrane (interlining cell)
inhibition of protein synthesis (scramble or inhibit the cell)
interfere with cellular metabolisms
Antibiotic resistance
the ability of a microorganism to withstand the effects of an antibiotic
What is the major cause of antibiotic resistance
overuse of broad spectrum antibiotics
they put antibiotics in the food to help
Cell wall inhibitors- Cephalosporins
Penicillin G and V
G- was the first
V was the first orally stable form
broad spectrum
