21
Q

Target of Antibacterials

A

that which is not present in eukaryotes (cell wall, 70s ribosome, Folic acid synth)

22
Q

Cell wall targeting

A

Penicillins, VAncomycin

23
Q

DNA synth target

A

Fluoroquinoones

24
Q

RNA synth target

25
Plasma membrane target
Polymvxins
26
Ribsome target
Aminoglycoside(30s), macrolides(50s)
27
Folic acid target
Sulfonamides
28
What is Penicillin
A beta Lactam
29
What is Vancomycin
Non-beta-lactam (glycopeptide antimicrobials)
30
How Beta-LActams work
Bind to transpeptidase and inhibit cross linking of amino acid side chains
31
What is Transpeptidase
Penicillin-binding proteins (target of Beta lactams)
32
Action of Non-beta-lactams
Inhibit assembly of the linear peptiodglycan binding directly to amino acid side chains to prevent peptidoglycan cross linking
33
Treat MRSA
Vancomycin
34
Action of Chloramohenicol
Bind to amino acids
35
Macrolide action
Bind to tRNA and 50s
36
Action of Streptogramins and oxazolidinones
50s block
37
Action of AMinoglycosides
30s block
38
Action of Tetracyclins
30s block
39
Action of sulfonamides and trimethoprin
Inhibit folate synth
40
Action of Rifampin
Inhibit RNA polymerase
41
Action of Metronidazole
Breaks DNA
42
Action of Quinolones
inhibit DNA topoisomers and gyrase
43
Action of amphotericin
Bind to sterol-contain membranes of fungi
44
Action of polymyxins
Disrupt gram negative outer membrane as a detergent
45
Mechanisms of Resistance
``` Efflux pumps Blocked Penetraion Altered target Enzymatic inactivation Genetic resitsance ```
46
Why MRSA is reistant to Methicillin
Altered PBP's
47
treating MRSA
Non-beta lactans
48
Why can't Vancomysin attack VRSA
Altered peptide is a dipeptide so reduced affininty
49
the innate ability of a bcaterial species to resist activty of antimicrobial agent though structure and function characteristis
Intrinisc Resitsance
50
when a speices develops resistance to anitbiotic
Acquired resitsance
51
Mutational resistanec
Mutation chanages ti so antibacterial no longer has effect
