Fxn of Penicillins
B lactam abx: inhibit transpeptidase and formation of PG cell wall
acute otitis media species
- s. pneumo
- hib
- moraxella catarrhalis
side chains added to what part of penicillin?
6 aminopenicillanic acid
other fxns of penicillin binding proteins
cell shape and septum formation during division of cell
penicillins activate what in bacteria
autolysins (murein hydrolases)
penicillins used often in combo with:
aminoglycoside (gentamycin)
Penicillin G’s downfall
cant pass through porin channels
P. aeruginosa resistance mechanisms
lack of porins, active efflux
P. aeruginosa, E. coli, N gonorrhoeae
active efflux of PCNs
PCN not affected by food
Amoxicillin
Highly protein bound penicillins
Nafcillin, Oxacillin, Dicloxacillin
PCN poor penetration
CNS, eye, prostate
What blocks tubular secretion of PCN
Probenecid
major antigenic determinant for PCN
Benzypenicilloyl
Oral administration PCN
least sensitizing
topical administration PCN
most sensitizing
Most common reaction to PCN
Type I HSN rxn
Methicillin
most common cause of acute interstitial nephritis

Penicillinase Resistant Penicillins (anti-Staph PCNS)
Methicillin, Nafcillin, Oxacillin
Extended Spectrum PCNS
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin. Greater GN activity
