Term
antibiotics
Definition
naturally produced products produced by one microorganism to inhibit another
Term
characteristics of good antibiotics
Definition
selectively toxicity, able to penetrate host cells, no effect on host defenses, stable, broad spectrum, little/no side effects, does not destroy normal flora
Term
penicillin, ampicillin, cephalosporin, cycloserine, bacitracin, vancomycin
Definition
antibiotics in inhibition of cell wall synthesis
Term
polymixins, gramacidins, tyrocidins
Definition
antibiotics in damage to cytoplasmic membrane
Term
rifampin, quinolone
Definition
antibiotics in inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis
Term
streptomycin, tetracyclines, chloraphenicol, erythromycin
Definition
antibiotics in inhibition of protein synthesis
Term
penicillium notatum
Definition
fungus used to make penicillin
Term
cephalosprium
Definition
fungus used to make cephalosporin
Term
streptomyces
Definition
fungus used to make cycloserine
Term
bacillus subtillis
Definition
fungus used to make bacitracin
Term
streptomyces
Definition
fungus used to make erythromycin
Term
streptomuces
Definition
fungus used to make vancomycin
Term
bacillus and streptomyces
Definition
funguses used to make polymixins, gramacidins, and tyrocidins
Term
streptomyces
Definition
fungus used to make streptomycin
Term
streptomyces
Definition
fungus used to make tetracyclines
Term
streptomyces venezuela
Definition
fungus used to make chloraphenicol
Term
penicillin (PCN)
Definition
effects the linking of transpeptides, select against gram positive spirochytes, 1-5% of people are sensitive to PCN not infected by saliva or bile
Term
ampicillin
Definition
semi-synthetic PCN, strong bacteriocidal, low toxicity
Term
cephalosporin
Definition
marine fungus that is given to people with PCN allergies, inhibits transpeptidation, attacks growing cells, log phase
Term
cycloserine
Definition
TB therapy, major side effects, effects peptide synthesis
Term
bacitracin
Definition
frequently found in triple antibiotics, inhibits transport of wall precursor, toxic to human and animal cells
Term
vancomycin
Definition
binds to tetrapeptide and inhibits transpeptidation
Term
polymixins, gramacidins, tyrocidins
Definition
effects membrane permeability, bacteriocidal, toxic to tissue
Term
rifampin
Definition
block mRNA synthesis by binding to DNA dependent RNA polymerase
Term
quinolone
Definition
inhibit DNA gyrase, disrupts DNA replication topoisomerase, cut DNA so that it unwinds
Term
streptomycin
Definition
work against gram negative, non-toxic in small doses, accumulating effects: causes deafness and kidney damage, given to people with disfiguring acne, combine with 30-S subunit of ribosome, mRNA will be misread
Term
tetracyclines
Definition
widely used (broad spectrum), works against gram positive and gram negative, blocks binding of tRNA to 30-S
Term
chloraphenicol
Definition
broad spectrum, combines with 23-S subunit of 50-S (blocks peptide bond of formation)
Term
erythromycin
Definition
works against gram positive and gram negative used with people restraint to PCN, binds to 50-S disrupts transpeptidation, prevents chain elongation
Term
sulfonomides (sulfa)
Definition
chemically similar to paramino benzoic acid (PABA)
bacteria. PABA as precursor for THFA (folic acid) synthesis of purines & pyrimadines
(taken up as PABA, but blocks the rest of the cycle
- prevents synthesis of folic acid)
Term
sulfomides
Definition
antibiotic in inhibition of specific enzyme systems
