3 classes of antibiotics that are inhibitors of cell wall synthesis
- beta lactams (carbapenem, penicillin, monobactam, cephalosporin
- glycopeptides
- phosphonic acid.
monobactams cover mainly gram ____
gram negatives. (ex/ aztreonam)
T/F carbapenems are broad spectrum
true. examples include meropenem and ertopenem.
examples of glycopeptides. good from gram positive or negative?
vancomycin, good for treating gram positive (like staph auereus, C. dif (gram positive bacilli), bacillus anthracis)
5 classes of protein synthesis inhibitors
- aminoglycosides (tobramycin and genatmycin)–G-
- tetracyclines (doxycycline)– BS
- macrolides (clarithromycin and azithromycin), more gram positive.
- lincosamides (clindamycin, gram positive and some anaerobic gram negative)
- oxazolidinone
broad spectrum antibiotic classes that inhibit protein synthesis
- tetracyclines (doxycycline)
- macrolides (clarithromycin, azithromycin)
gram + pathogen antibiotic classes that inhibit protein synthesis
- lincosamides (clindamycin)
- oxazolidinones
gram negative pathogen antibiotic classes that inhibit protein synthesis
aminoglycosides (gentamycin, tobramycin)
4 classes of antibiotics that are inhibitors of NA synthesis and DNA syntheiss
- fluroquinolones (ciprofloxacin broad spectrum)
- rifamycins *rifampin)
- sulfonamides (broad spectrum like septra)
- nitroimizadoles (macrobid for UTI gram negative)
