What are the 30S ribosome inhibitors?
but AT 30!

aminoglycosides
tetracyclines
What are the 50S ribosome inhibitors?
CCEL at 50!

chloramphenicol
clindamycin
erythromycin
linezolid
What are the 5 aminoglycosides?
GNATS

gentamycin
neomycin
amikacin
tobramycin
streptomycin
How do aminoglycosides work?
Anti-30S; inhibit initiation complex and --> mRNA misreading; require O2 for uptake (can't kill anaerobes)
What are aminoglycosides used for?
severe gram-negative bacillary infections
What are aminoglycosides synergistic with?
beta-lactam antibiotics (aztreonam esp.)
What is neomycin routinely used for?
bowel surgery
What is the toxicity of aminoglycosides?
Nephrotoxicity
Ototoxicity
Teratogenicity
What confers resistance to aminoglycosides?
Transferase enzymes --> acetylation, phosphorylation, adenylation
What are the tetracyclines? (4)
tetracycline
doxycycline
demeclocycline
minocycline
What is a non-antibiotic use of demeclocycline?
ADH-agonist diuretic in SIADH
What is the mechanism of tetracyclines?
bacteriostatic - bind 30S and prevent tRNA attachment
Which protein-synthesis antibiotics don't have CNS penetration?
tetracyclines
Which tetracycline can be used in renal failure?
doxycycline due to fecal elimination
Which substances inhibit tetracycline absorption in the gut?
milk
antacids
iron-preps

divalent cations inhibit absorption
What are tetracyclines used for?
Borrelia burgdorferi
M. pneumoniae
Rickettsia
Chlamydia (both intracellular)
What are toxicities of tetracyclines?
GI distress
dental discoloration
bone growth inhibition
photosensitivity
teratogenic
What confers resistance to tetracyclines?
decreased uptake or increased efflux from plasmid-encoded pumps
What are 3 macrolides?
erythromycin
azithromyzin
clarithromycin
How do macrolides work?
block translocation; binds 23S on 50S; bacteriostatic
What are macrolides used for?
atypical pneumonia (mycoplasma, chlamydia, legionella)
URIs
STDs
gram-pos cocci
Neisseria
What are toxicities of macrolides?
prolonged QT (erythromycin)
GI distress
acture cholestatic hepatitis
eosinophilia
rashes
What drugs do macrolides interact with?
increase the serum concentration of theophyllines and oral anticoagulants
What confers macrolide resistance?
methlyation of 23S binding site
How does chloramphenicol work?
blocks peptide bond formation on 50S subunit
What is chloramphenicol used for?
meningitis (Haemophilus, Neisseria, S. pneumo)

conservative used outside of developing countries
What is the toxicity of chloramphenicol?
anemia (dose-dependent)
aplastic anemia
gray baby syndrome (premature infants lack UDP-glucuronyl transferase)
What confers resistance to chloramphenicol?
plasmid-encoded acetyltransferase
How does clindamycin work?
blocks peptide bond formation at 50S
What is clindamycin used to treat?
anaerobes in aspiration pneumonia or lung abscesses
Bacteroides
Clostridium perfringens
What is the toxicity of clindamycin?
pseudomembranous colitis
fever
diarrhea
