CW Syn Inhibitors Flashcards

Q

Beta lactams

  • 4 common
  • mech
  • resistance
  • use
A
  • penicilin, monobactam, cephalosporin, cabapenum
  • mimics D-ala D ala and binds to cross linking enzyme (prevents peptidoglycan x link)
  • Gram - beta lactamases
  • only kills growing cells

Q

Penicillin

-5 common+uses

A

Penicillin G-acid labile, G+ and negative cocci, non-beta lactamase producing strains

Oxacillin/cloxacillin/dicloxacillin-Anti staph, can use on beta lactase producing staph, only gram +, no enterococci

Amoxicillin-extended spectrum, acid stable, better for gram-, inactivated by beta lactamases, UTI, sinusitis, otitis, LRI

Q

Penicillin

  • admin
  • side effects
  • resistance
A
  • oral (not with food)/IV/IM with anesthetic and rapid excretion unless renal failure-non toxic
  • 10% allergies, all are cross reacting
  • Beta lactamases by up regulation, horiztonal gene transfer; transpeptidases (PBP) so penicillin binding reduced

Q

What is the beta lactamase inhibitors (2)?

A

Clavulanic acid (class A only) and Avibactrum (class A,C,D)

  • extend half life of B-lactams by inactivating B-lactamases
  • much more useful on plasmid B-lactamses vs chromsomally encoded…only class A beta lactam

Q

Cephalosporins

  • general function
  • 4 names
  • admin/elim
  • uses
  • side effects
A

increased resistance to beta lactamases-no coverage vs extended spectrum beta lactamases

cefazolin, cefamandole, cefazidime +ceftriaxone, cefepime

oral/some IV-excreted by kvidnney-tox possible

sinusitis, otitis, LRI, MRSA (4th gen)

hypersensitivity reaction, candida superinfection, 1st generation cross reactivity with penicillins

Q

Cephalosporins

-gen 1-4 and differences

A
  • Cefazolin-broad spectrum, better fro gram +, only use is surgical prophylaxis, no cross BBB
  • Cefamadole-extended coverage to gm-, no x reactivity with penicillin (3rd and 4th don’t either)
  • cefazidime-extended gm- activity at expense of gm+ activity, some cross BBB, useful vs inducible B-lactamase production but not constitutive production
  • Cefepime-Resistant to chromosomal B lactamses, good vs gm+/-, broad spectrum, crosses BBB

Q

Monobactams

  • charactersitics
  • Clinical Use
  • Side FX
A
  • IV, excreted rapidly, 1 ring
  • only gram - rods (pseudomonas and serration), no gm+ because doesn’t bind to PBP of gm+ or anaerobic bacteria…resistant to beta lactamases
  • no tox, occasional skin rashes, no cross reactivity with penicillins

Q

Carbapenems

  • characeristics
  • clinical use
  • 2 examples and specific clinical use
  • side fx
A
  • cross BBB, excreted by kidney, broad spectrum (gm+/-/anerobes)
  • mixed infections, resistant vs beta lactamases but not metal beta lactamses
  • imipeniem-inactiveated by dehydropeptivdases in kidney and often combined with cilastatin…meropenem is resistant to dehydropeptivdases
  • NVD, seizures if renal insufficiency, cross reactivity to penicillin

Q

Vancomycin

  • mech
  • resistance
  • use
  • other
  • special
  • combo
A
  • Binds to D-ala-D-ala in CW (not with enzymes used to make it)-very large drug
  • enterocci switches to D-ala-D-lac and staph thicken peptidoglycan layer
  • Gm+ esp staph, bactericidal for growing cells
  • usually 7-10 IV (except if problem in stomach), SE minor, kidney elimination (tox if insufficient), penetrates CNS
  • Dalbavancin (1 dose every several days) and Orivancin (only single dose needed)
  • used with ahminoglycosides or gentamycin for enterococci

Q

Polymyxins

  • mech
  • resistace
  • use
A
  • Large drug that binds LPS in outer membrane of Gm-, leading to permeability of both outer and inner membranes (perforations)
  • LPS change structure
  • gm- only, part of neosporin

Q

Fosfomycin

  • mech
  • use
  • excretion/method is ingestion
  • drug combo
A
  • Small drug that inhibits first committed step in CW synthesis (NAG converting to NAM), binds to active site cysteine of MurA (NAG to NAM) enzyme
  • loss of drug transport into cell (TB MurA naturally resistant)
  • Gm+and =, safe in reg, UTI
  • Oral only, kidney excretion
  • synergystic with other Antibiotics

Q

Bacitracin

  • mech
  • use
  • Side FX
  • drug combo
A
  • intereferes with lipid phosphatase that from lipid carrier peptidoglycan subunits (doesn’t add NAM/NAG to inner CW b/c phosphate in the way)
  • Gm+
  • increased use leads to increased freq of allergic reactions
  • usally in combo with other antibiotics

Q

D-cycloserine-mech

  • use
  • Side FX
  • drug combo
A
  • strcuturally related to D-ala, inhibits conversion of Ala-dALA (alanine racemes) and inhibits bond formation between 2 D-ALA (D-alanine ligase)
  • TB (with other drugs), 2nd line drug with serious side effects
  • Dose related, CNS too (headache, tremors, convulsions, etc.)
  • Used in combo with other drugs for TB
