Frage 96

Frage
Which of the following are associated with Penicillin's?
Antworten
  • Examples include: Ampicillin, Amoxycillin (developed to have an improved duration)
  • Examples include: Ciprofloxacin and Streptogramins
  • Early forms were effective against gram positives and only a few gram negatives
  • Early forms were effective against gram negatives and gram positives
  • Expanded spectrum versions are effective against pseudomonads
  • Reversed spectrum versions have greater activity on gram positives
  • Can exist in B-lactamase resistant forms (Fludoxacillin)
  • Excreted by the kidney in levels that can be reduced by probenecid
  • Excreted in the bile in levels that can be increased by N-acetylglucosamine
  • Inhibit transpeptidases that establish cross links in peptidoglycan from N-acetylmuramic acid causing bacteria to swell and rupture (bacteriocidal)

Frage 97

Frage
Which of the following are true of sulphonamides?
Antworten
  • Selectively targets metabolic pathways: Folate biosynthesis
  • Targets prokaryotic ribosomes and protein synthesis
  • Bacteriocidal
  • The normal substrate the drugs block is PABA
  • Their use is declining outside dentistry
  • Oral administration is given as protected tablets to prevent them being inactivated by gastric juice

Frage 98

Frage
Which of the following are Tetracyclines?
Antworten
  • Bacteriostatic
  • Half life of 30-80 minutes
  • Half life of 6-18 hours
  • Use is declining outside of dentistry
  • Excreted in the kidney and the bile
  • Interrupts the termination phase of protein synthesis in bacterial ribosomes
  • Don't usually enter the CSF (unless meninges inflammation)

Frage 99

Frage
Which of the following is true of fluoroquinolones?
Antworten
  • They are based on naladixic acid
  • Target DNA replication via type II topoisomerases
  • Examples include ciprofloxacin
  • Target protein synthesis
  • Inhibitor of CYP1A2
  • Inhibits DNA gyrase in gram positives and DNA topoisomerase IV in gram negatives
  • Examples include streptogramins and lincosamides

Frage 100

Frage
Which of the following is true of macrolides?
Antworten
  • Streptogramins such as erythromycin are effective for gram positives and spirochaetes but not gram negatives
  • Lincosamides such as clindamycin are effective for gram positive cocci and anaerobes
  • Target 30S ribosomal subunit
  • Block translocation of newly forming peptide by binding to site near RNA exit tunnel causing peptidyl-transferase RNA drop off
  • Administered IV to bypass metabolism in the stomach
  • Administered orally in protected tablets
  • Excreted in the kidneys
  • Crosses the placenta but not the blood brain barrier
  • Do not enter the CSF
  • Metabolised by demethylation (CYP3A4)
