Question | Answer |
---|---|
Penicillins and cephlasporins action | Inhibits peptide cell wall synthesis |
Aminoglycoside drug names | gentamycin, amkimycin, neomycin, streptomycin, tobramycin |
Aminoglycoside MOA | inhibit the ability to read RNA therefore inhibting protein synthesis |
Aminoglycoside spectrum | gram negative aerobes |
Amingolycoside toxitiy | ototoxity. Do not use in combo with furosemide will cause icnrease in ototoxxicity |
Vancomycin MOA | inhibits phospholipid plasma membrane synthesis and peptidoglycan polymerization. It inhibits cell wall synthesis |
Vancomycin specturm | MRSA |
Quinolones MOA | inhibits topoisomerase |
Quinolone drug names | Ciproflaxin, Levoflaxin. All end in flaxin |
Quinolone toxitiy | Contraindicated in those under 16 yrs old due to effects on joint and thos eover 60 due to tendon rupture.Increased QT interval and contraindicated with azoles, NNRTI, PIs, nicardipine, TCAs, anti-arrthmics, anti physcotics, and SSRIs |
Chlorampheicol MOA | inhibits peptidyl transferase which is necessary for protein synthesis. Protein synthesis inhibitor |
Erythromycin MOA | inhibits protein synthesis |
Bacitracin MOA | inhibits cell wall synthesis and used topically to avoid nephrotoxicity |
Polymyxin | antipsudeomonal agent most commonly in opthamolic preps |
Carbapenems drug list and MOA | all ending in penem. Powerful cell wall synthesis inhibitors. Superior resistance to beta lactamase |
Carbapenem spectrum | active against most Gram positive and mayn gram negatives including most enterobacteriae. Effective against both aerobic and anerobic bacteria |
