Cards

Term
Aminoglycosides
Definition
  •  Ex: Gentamycin, Kanamycin
  • Inhibit Bacterial 30S rs, cidal, has post antibiotic effect
  • Arrest translation at initiation phase
  • don't get into CNS
  • Tox: Nephro with diuretics, oto, NMJ
  • Use for aerobic G- w/pen or vanco
Term
Tetracyclines
Definition
  • Ex: Tetracycline, Doxycycline, minocycline
  • Bacteria 30s rs inhibitor
  • Binds A site blocking tRNA access
  • Broad spectrum:
  • Tox: binds to teeth and bones, delay clotting, maternal hepatotox, photosensitivity
Term
Chloramphenicol
Definition
  • Mech: Binds 50S rs, inhib peptidyl transferase
  • Res due to reduced uptake and binding
  • Tox: reversivle bone marrow suppression, grey baby syndrome
Term
Macrolides
Definition
  • Ex: Erythro-, azithro-, clarithro-, dirithro- mycin
  • Mech: binds 50S rs, blocks formation of initiation complex and inhibits translocase
  • Tox: relatively nontoxic; erythro and clarithro suicidal inactivators of P450 enzymes so many drug interactions
Term
Lincosamines (Clindamycin)
Definition
  • Mech: Bact 50S rs inhibitor; inhibits occupation at A site
  • Wide distrib, except CNS
  • Broad spectrum, aerobic G+, anaerobic G+/-
  • Tox: diarrhea that can progress to pseudomembranous colitis (c. diff)
Term
Oxazolidinones-Linezolid
Definition
  • Mech: Binds to 50S rs, interfers with formation of fMet tRNA ribosome mRNA ternary complex, arrests at initiation
  • Cidal or static depending on organism
  • Tox: NVD, rev thrombocytopenia, incr hepatic enzymes,
  • Use: multi drug res orgs, pneumonia, bacteremia
Term
Streptogramins-Quinupristin/Dalfopristin
Definition
  • Mech: bind to 50S rs, inhib translation by constricting exit channel for newly syn proteins. Inhibits tRNA syn activity
  • Cidal/static depending on organism
  • Tox: well tolerated; NVD, rash, myalgia, arthralgia, pseudomembranous colitis
  • Use: multidrug res G+ (MRSA=cidal, VREF-static)
