tetracycline drugs
tetracycline
minocycline
doxycycline
tetracycline analog drugs
tigecycline
eravacycline
omadacyclin
mechanism of action tetracycline and analogs
bind reversibly to 30S ribosome to inhibit protein synthesis
tetracycline and analogs static or cidal, time or conc dep
static
time dependent
TMP-SMX MOA
sequential inhibition of microbial folic acid synthesis pathway by inhibiting bacterial dihydropepteroate synthetase and dihydrofolate reductase
sulfamethoxazole MOA
inhibits dihydropteroate synthetase
trimethorpim MOA
inhibits activity of bacterial dihydrofolate reductase
polymixin B and Colistin MOA
binds phospholipids in cell membrane causing displacement of Ca and Mg, which leads to changes in cell wall permeability and leakage of cellular contents
TMZ-SMX cidal or static, conc or time
bactericidal
time dependent
polymixin B and colistin citdal or static, conc or time
bactericidal
concentration dependent
clindamycin MOA
inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunit reversibly
clindamycin static or cidal time or conc
bacteriostatic
time dependent
metronidazole MOA
inhibits DNA synthesis
metronidazole cidal or static, conc or time dep
bactericidal
concentration dependent
resistance mechanism tetracyclines
tetracycline specific efflux pumps
ribosomal protection proteins
enzymatic inactivation
resistance mechanism tetracycline analogs
multi drug efflux pumps
resistance mechanism TMX-SMP
mutation in dihydrofolate reductase or dihydropteroate synthase
polymixins resistance mechanism
alteration in outer cell membrane
(dec in Ca or Mg content, dec lipopolysacchardie content, dec outer membrane proteins)
clindamycin resistance mechanism
alteration in ribosomal binding site
NOT efflux pumps
metronidazole resistance mechanism
altered growth requirements, reduced transcription of ferredoxin gene
