Cards

Term
Erlich
Definition
"chemotherapy" - agents that selectively kill pathogens. Arsenic compound killed trypanosomes (Afr. Sleep. Sick.) and one for syphilis pathogen
Term
Fleming
Definition
staph growing on plate with some mold.. didn't grow around mold. Chain&Florey went further and found out that it was in fact penicillin.
Term
Waksman
Definition
term "antibiotic" for naturally produced antimicrobials
Term
Domagk
Definition
sulfa drugs for G+
Term
4 primary genre that produce antibiotics
Definition
Penicillium, Cephalosporium (fungi)-class with most drugs, Bacillus and Streptomyces (bacteria). Primarily from soil microbes.
Term
3 types antimicrobials
Definition
Antibiotics, semisynthetics ("hybrid"), Synthetics
Term
6 main mech of microbial action
Definition
inhibit cell wall synthesis, inhibit protein synthesis, disrupt cell membrane, inhibit metabolic pathways, inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, block target recognition or attachment to host.
Term
Penicillin
Definition
Inhibit cell wall synthesis. b-lactum antibiotic
Term
Cephalosporins
Definition
Inhibit cell wall synthesis. b-lactum antibiotic
Term
Vancomycin
Definition
inhibit cell wall synthesis
Term
Cycloserine
Definition
Inhibit cell wall synthesis
Term
Bacitracin
Definition
inhibit cell wall synthesis (topical)
Term
Inhibition of cell wall synthesis works only on
Definition
G+ reproducing quickly (keep cells from increasing amount of cell wall material in log phase. No effects on animal cells(no cell wall) or plant cells (no ppg).
Term
Isoniazid (INH) and ethambutol
Definition
Effect mycobacterium (arabinogalactan-mycolic acid layer) disrupt layer. long term because of long generation time.
Term
Inhibition of protein synthesis
Definition
disrupt translation
Term
Streptomycin
Definition
Aminoglycoside - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Gentamycin
Definition
Aminoglycoside - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Amikacin
Definition
Aminoglycoside - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Tobramycin
Definition
Aminoglycoside - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Chloramphenicol
Definition
Inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Erithromycin
Definition
Macrolide - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Azithromycin
Definition
Macrolide - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Oxytetracycline
Definition
Tetracycline - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Chlorotetracycline
Definition
Tetracycline - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Doxycycline
Definition
Tetracycline - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
minocycline
Definition
tetracycline - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Linezolid
Definition
Oxazolidinones - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Dalfopristine/Quinupristine
Definition
Streptogramin - inhibit protein synthesis
Term
Amphotericin B
Definition
polyenes - Fungi not bacteria - disrupt membrane
Term
Polymyxins
Definition
G- topical, disrupt membrane
Term
Heavy Metals
Definition
inhibit metabolic pathways
Term
Sulfa drugs
Definition
Sulfonamides - inhibit metabolic pathways
Term
Amantadine
Definition
Antiviral - inhibition of metabolic pathways
Term
Rimantadine
Definition
Antiviral - inhibit metabolic pathways
Term
-Floxacins
Definition
Quinolones/Fluoroquinolones - Inhibit NA synthesis
Term
Rifampin
Definition
Inhibit NA synthesis
Term
Clofazimine
Definition
Inhibit NA synthesis
Term
Characteristics of ideal antimicrobial:
Definition
Readily available, inexpensive, chemically stable, easily administered (oral), Nontoxic and non-allergenic, selectively toxic against variety of pathogens.
Term
Clinical considerations in prescribing antimicrobial drugs:
Definition
Spectrum of Action, Ifficacy, Routes of administration, Safety and Side effects.
Term
Spectrum of Action
Definition
Narrow - Few kinds of pathogens. Broad - Many diff kinds of pathogens. Narrow spectrum preferred. Side effects - kill flora too.
Term
Efficacy
Definition
1. Diffusion Susceptibility Test (kirby-bauer) swab Muller-Hinton agar, add disks, measure zones, use table. 2. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Test - broth dilution test (Etest - zones and MIC on 1 plate)
Term
Routes of Administration
Definition
Topical, intravenous, intramuscular, oral.
Term
Safety and Side Effects
Definition
Side effects - Toxicity, Allergies (Anaphylactic Shock-vessels dilate and leak.Can lose allergy over time), Disruption of normal flora (opportunistic or superinfections).
Term
Resistance
Definition
acquired through mutations or plasmid acquisition.
Term
Mech of Resistance
Definition
1. Produce an enzyme that destroys drug. 2. Slow/block entry. 3. Alter receptor for drug. 4. Utilize alternate metabolic pathways. 5. Pump drug out of cell.
Term
Multiple Resistance
Definition
More than one drug (diff classes). r-plasmid exchange. Hospital and nursing homes cause week Immune system, lots of antibiotic use, lots of pathogens.
Term
Cross-resistance
Definition
2 or more drugs same family
