Natural penicillin V
B-lactam: Inhibits enzymes required for cell wall biosynthesis.

type of Penicillin:

targets gram+, penicillinase sensitive
Oxacillin
B-lactam: Inhibits enzymes required for cell wall biosynthesis.

type of Penicillin:

targets gram+, penicillinase resistant
Ampicillin
B-lactam: Inhibits enzymes required for cell wall biosynthesis.

type of Penicillin:

targets gram+ and many gram-
Carbapenems
B-lactam: Inhibits enzymes required for cell wall biosynthesis.

exchange a S for a C and a double bond in penicillin structure. Extremely broad spectrum (98% of bacteria tested).
Monobactams
B-lactam: Inhibits enzymes required for cell wall biosynthesis.

type of Penicillin:

(single ring) very narrow spectrum affecting only some gram- bacteria (E. coli, and Pseudomonads).
Cephalosporins
B-lactam: Inhibits enzymes required for cell wall biosynthesis.

type of Penicillin:

most widely used B-lactam!

some narrow spectrum and some broad spectrum. Recognized by some B-lactamases.
Vancomycin
Glycopeptide

bind to terminal D-Ala residues to block cell wall biosynthesis (D-Ala is an amino acid that forms peptides).

gram+, narrow spectrum.

Very important for MRSA!
Isoniazid
Antimycobacterial antibiotic.

ACID-fast cell wall inhibitors.

Acid...Sounds like azid.
PolyEnes/Amphotericin B
Antifungals

inhibit ergosterol synthesis
Azoles, Allylamines, and Echinocandins
Antifungals

inhibit fungal cell wall synthesis

Antifungals

inhibit fungal cell wall synthesis
Tetracyclines/doxycyclin

Aminoglycosides (streptomycins, neomycins, kanamycins)
Interfer with correct tRNA attachment to codon.

These have side effects because our mitochondria have the same type of 70s ribosomes.
Chloramphenicol
inhibit ribosomal peptide bond formation

broad spectrum
Macrolides, Azithromycin, Erythomycin, Streptomycin
inhibit ribosomal peptide bond formation

narrow spectrum
Quinolones, Nalidixic acid

Ciprofloxacin
inhibit DNA gyrase/blocks DNA replication

used for wide variety of diseases (wide spectrum).
Rifampicin
inhibits RNA synthesis

binds to the active site of RNA polymerase
Polymyxin B
plasma membrane injury

DANGEROUS to eukaryotic cells, TOPICAL use only
Sulfonamides
