How many types of antibiotics are there?
8
1 of 27
Name the eight types of antibiotics
Glycopeptides, Quinolones, Aminoglycosiges, Antifolates, Tetracyclin, Macrolides, Bet Lactams
2 of 27
How do you remember them?
Good Queen Anne Ate Ten Million Pink Beta Lactams
3 of 27
What do glycopeptides do?
Inhibit cell wall synthesis.
4 of 27
Name some glycopeptides
Vancomycin, teicoplanin
5 of 27
Why would you give glycopeptides?
Resistant to beta lactams and teh patient is severly ill
6 of 27
Why are glycopeptides not used as much as beta lactams?
Highly toxic
7 of 27
What do Quinolines do?
Intefere with nucleic acid synthesis
8 of 27
What is an example of a quinolone?
Nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin
9 of 27
What other antibotic inteferes with nucleic acid synthesis?
Antifolates
10 of 27
What do antifolates do?
Intefere with nucleic acid synthesis, intefere with synthesis of essential metabolites
11 of 27
What do aminoglycosiges do?
Intefere with protein synthesis
12 of 27
How does resistant to aminoglycosiges develop?
By altering permeability to the antibiotic.
13 of 27
Which other antibiotic has resistant develops through altered permeability?
Tetracyolines
14 of 27
What do tetracyolines do?
Also intefere with protein synthesis
15 of 27
Name a tetracyoline
Tetracyline, doxyclycline
16 of 27
What do macrolides do?
Intefere with protein synthesis.
17 of 27
Name a macrolide
Erythromycin
18 of 27
So what types of antibiotic intefere with protein synthesis?
Macrolides, Tetracyolines, Aminoglycosiges
19 of 27
How does resistance to macrolides develop?
By altering the target site.
20 of 27
So what antibiotic develops resistnat through inactivating enzymes?
Beta Lactams
21 of 27
What do Beta Lactams do?
Prevent cell wall synthesis
22 of 27
What are two main types of beta lactam?
Penicillins, cephlasporins
23 of 27
What do polymixins do?
Ingure plasma membrane
24 of 27
Name a polymixin
Colistin
25 of 27
So what is erythromycin?
Macrolide, protein synthesis
26 of 27
What is vancomycin?
Glycopeptide, Cell wall synthesis
