microbial susceptibility:

wide variety of organism
broatd spectrum
microbial susceptibitlity:

active against selective organist
narrow spectrum
sensitivity testing done by:
disk diffusion

microdilution

e-test
the oldest sensitivity
disk diffusion
dose for effective tx determined by
MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration
when to determine mic
when there's no replication
whcih is more effective:

MIC

or

MBC
MBC: minimal bacterial concentration
what can stain ur teeth as a child
tetracylcine

binds to Ca and is put into the enamel

(also binds to bones)
when shouldn't you give tetracycline
< 14 yrs old
what will cause gray baby syndrome
chloramphenicol
why will chloramphenicol cause gray baby syndrome
babies unable to glucoronidate

they become lethargic and die
chloramphenicol is a -- spectrum
broad
w/ a wound what's the best way to give an abx
clean the wound so the enzymes won't inactivate the abx
pcn can cause
seizures
time dependent: ability to kill dependent on -- ----
blood concentration
conc dependent: independent of ----

even if drug falls below window still able to kill; so ok to give ------
time

QD

inside bacteria; so still killing
combto used for tx of :

--- ---- infections

---microbial infections

--- antimicrobial activity

tx of --- strains

permit --- doses of antimicrobial agents

possibly reduce emergence of ---- ------
life threatening

polymicrobial

enchanced

resistanct strains

lower doses

resistant strains
how are pcn and aminoglycosides synergistic
pcn's act on the cell wall

amino's act on protein synthesis

pcn's will weaken the cell wall, which will let amino's get in easier.
develop of resistance:

----

--- to destory active drug

change in -- to drug

change in -- pathway
selection

enzymes (pcnase, carbapenemases, cephalopsorinases)

permeability (b lactams get thru thru porins, so change this to prevent from get in)

efflux (tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, macrolides)
development of reisistance:

change in --- of site of active drug

develop altered --- pathways

develop altered enzyme w/ less ------
affinity (loss/alteration of binding proteins. . . protein synthesis inhibitors)

metabolic (sulfonamides/PABA)

affinity: protein synthesis inhibitor
origin of resistance:

microoraginsh is in -- stage. . . surveis thousands of years. . .spores

specific --- structure lost after several -----
dormant

target

replications (ex. cell wall)
genetic changes that contribute to resistance include
mutational resistance

conjugation

transduction

transformation
t/f

mutation resistance is easy when there's only a few bac
f

easier when there's millions
conjugation:

-- resistance

common among gram -- bacteria
plamid

negative

(vancomycin)
transduction:

bacterial dna transferred thru -----
phages

important in s. aureus

(resistant bac inject dna into sensitive and then it becomes resistant)
when free dna absorbed from environment
transformation

. . . cell scavengers eat up resistant stuff and become resistant
when to use prophylatic abx
heart valves

sx
problems w/ prophylatic abx
resistance
misuse of antimicrobial agents:

tx of --- infections

--- of undetermined origins

improper ----

omission of --- drainage

lacke of adequate --- info

prolong tx after ---
nonbacterial

fever

dosage (use whole dose)

surgical drainage

bacteriological

cure
