5 drugs that target bact. cell wall synthesis:
1. B-lactams

2. glycopeptides

3. bacitracin

4. Cycloserine

5. Phosphonomycin
3 ways to combat B-lactams:
1. B-lactamases, which alter the drug

2. alternative PBP's

3. (only GN bact. can alter the uptake of B-lactams)
best way to combat glycopeptides:
change target to D-Ala-D-Lac
8 drugs that target bact. translation:
1. aminoglycosides

2. tetracyclines

3. macrolides

4. lincosamides

5. streptogrammins

6. Oxazolidinones

7. fusidic acid

8. mupirocin
2 ways to combat aminoglycosides:
1. inactivate the drug with APH, AAC, ANT

2. altered membrane pot.
2 ways to combat tetracyclines:
1. Ribosomal Protection Proteins (RPP's)

2. efflux
best way to combat macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogrammins =
MLSB

- a form or RNA methylation
best way to combat oxazilidinones =
alter the drug target via cfr - rare
best way to combat fusidic acid =
alter the target - FusA mutations
best way to combat mupirocins =
alter tRNA synthetase (target)
best way to combat quinolones =
gyrAB or porCE mutations (target)
best way to combat rifamycins =
rpoB mutations

(mutations in the RNAP target)
best way to combat trimethprims (sulfa) =
DHFR mut.
3 prodrugs:
1. nitrofurantoin

2. metronidazole

3. pyrazenamide
best way to combat nitrofurantoin =
loss of nitroreductase (target)
best way to combat metronidazole =
loss of nitroreductase (target)
best way to combat pyrazenamide =
alter PuCA
2 NA inhibitors:
1. Zanamivir

2. Oseltamivir
influenza virus serotypes are determined *exclusively* by:
HA
M avium infection is a concern for:
HIV patients
one great combo to combat bact. = B-lactam +
aminoglycoside
what kind of vaccine is MMR?
live, attenuated
Strep pyogenes is NOT:
a latent organism in the body
which is more exterior, the S-layer or the capsule?
the CAPSULE
water would not wash away the purple die, but would affect:
the red dye binding

=> both would be purple
viruses that belong to the same serotype are bound by:
the same kinds of AB's
which vitamin prevents measles complications?
vitamin A
what does Rhogam do?
as an AB, it binds the Rh antigen and masks it from the mom's AB's => protects the baby
what does daptomycin target?
bact. plasma membranes

- it's a lipopeptide
which kind of cells release Type II interferons?
*immune* cells
which bact. secretes H2O2?
Mycobact. pneumonia
which bact. secretes hydrolytic enzymes?
Strep pyogenes
what's a unique virulence factor of Strep pneumoniae?
pneumolysin
what organism do Prevnar13 and Pneumovax23 target?
Strep pneumoniae
which bact. are conjugate viruses useful for, particularly in children?
Haemophilus influenza (bact)
what kind of virus is the rubella virus?
togavirus
what kind of cells does a measles virus infect really well?
immune cells
