Question | Answer |
---|---|
widespread emergence of bacterial resistance to tetracycides and macrolides has drivena new class of antibiotics called what? | Streptogrammins |
why were streptogrammins made | first synthetic antibiotic made to fight bacterial resistance to tetracyclides and macrolides |
which drug is a streptogrammin | quinuristine-dalfopristine |
quinupristine-dalfoprisiting is classed as what? | streptogrammin |
what is important about streptogrammin amongst other drugs that inhiit protein synthesis? | it is rapidly bacteriocidal instead of bacteriostatic |
which drug to treat vnavomycin resistant infections? | streptogrammin - quinupristine-dalfopristine |
what does quinupristine-dalfoprisitne treat? | multi-drug resistant gram positive organisms and vnacmycin resistant infections |
which drug is an oxazolidinone | linezolid (zyvox) |
what does linezolid treat | drug resistant gram post organismes like MRSA, VRE |
which durgs are aminoglycocides? | Streptomycin, gentamicin, tobramycin, |
describe the davis model | drugs cause bacteria to make faulty proteins leading to damage and eventual bacteria cell death |
what does aminoglycocides treat? | gram negative enteric bacteria |
administering aminoglycosides | often given with other drugs ike beta lactams and vanco for sundergistic mechanisms and extended coverage |
which amino glycosides are used topically? | tobramycin and kanamycin |
what is tobramycin used for | aminoglycoside inhalation for p. aeruginosa |
aminoglycoside route | not given orally poor bioavailabilit |
side effects of aminoglycosides | otto and nephrotoxicity |
how is resistance made to aminoglycocides? | inactivation of bacterial enzyes, decreased penetration, mutation of 30s ribsomal subunit so aminoglycoside ownt beable to bind to it |
which drugs inhibit DNA synthesis? | antifolate drugs, DNA gyrase inhibitors |
which drug is an antifolate drug? | sulfonamides and pyrimidine like trimethroprim |
why is folate needed | to make purines for nucleic acid |
how does sulfonamide work | competes with PABA for Dihydopteroate enzyme. looks like PABA |
what is dihydopteroate used for | to make purines and thus build DNA |
wy is resistance such a big problem with sulfa? | everyone has had a sulfa drug |
how does trimethroprim work? | inhibits dihydrofolate reductase in protozoa |
why do antifolate drugs not affect human cells? | unlike bacteria we do not make our own folat we get ours from dietary intake. |
how are drugs resistant to sulfa? | over productions of PABA, lower affinity for drug, permeability to drug is decreased |
which drug is mainstay for UTI infections? | Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole |
adverse effect of sulfanomide | fever, skin rash rarely stevens johnson syndrme, urine precipitates |
what is important to know baout drugs that affect folate | it also affects rapidly dividing cells adn can cause bonemarrow supression |
which drug is a pyrimethamine | trimethoprim analog |
whatother infections can trimethoprim be used for | protozoa infections like leshmaniasis , toxoplasmosis |
if a woman has had a rash from using bactrim and anaphylaxis with penicillin how else can we treat ehr uti | fluroquinolones |
how does flouroquinolone work | inhibit DNA gyrase which prevents uncoiling of DNA and thus prevenitng replicaiton and transcription |
what is DNA gyrase | it is an enzyme that removes the coiling of DNA strands so it an be transcribed and replciated |
ow are florouquinolones excreted | Renal |
how are resistnace to fluroquinoloes devlpe? | most common in staph and pseudomonas infections, mutation of DNA gyrase binding site, high cross resistance to all fluroquinolone |
which drugs are fluroquinolones | ciprofloxacin, levoflocacin, moxifloxacin, |
adverse effect of fluroquinolones | generally well tolerated, potential for QT elongation esleiall with class 1 and 2 antiarrythmic drugs and worse with hypokalemia |
should flouroquinolones be given to children? |
