Pharmacology - Gentamicin
Pharmacology - Gentamicin The action of gentamicin is to prevent bacteria from making new proteins. Action Process Produces faulty proteins as a result of incorrect codon:anticodon recognition, which in turn leads to mRNA misreading. Administered intra
Pharmacology - Chloramphenicol
Pharmacology - Chloramphenicol Bacterial protein synthesis is inhibited by chloramphenicol. Action Process The process of transpeptidation is blocked.Administered orally or intravenously, it enters the cerebrospinal fluid and central nervous system, is
Pharmacology - Erythromycin
Pharmacology - Erythromycin Erythromycin works by preventing bacteria from making new proteins. Clarithromycin and azithromycin are medications that are similar. Approach It blocks the transfer RNA's (and the peptide's) movement from the A site to the P
Pharmacology - Erythromycin
Pharmacology - Erythromycin Clindamycin works by preventing bacteria from making new proteins. Action Process Blocks the transfer RNA's (and the peptide's) movement from the A site to the P site. Dispensed by mouth, intramuscular injection, or intraven
Pharmacology - Quinupristin + Dalfopristin
Pharmacology - Quinupristin + Dalfopristin Quinupristin and Dalfopristin work together to prevent bacteria from making proteins by preventing the conversion of messenger RNA into proteins. Action Process Dalfopristin prevents aa-tRNA from attaching to t
Pharmacology - Ciprofloxacin
Pharmacology - Ciprofloxacin Decreases the efficiency of bacterial DNA synthesis. Norfloxacin and levofloxacin are similar medications. Action Technique Blocks the action of DNA gyrase, also known as topoisomerase II, an enzyme necessary for chromosome
Pharmacology - Benzoylpenicillin
The bactericidal action of benzoylpenicillin is to prevent the bacteria from dividing by interfering with their cell wall production. Action Technique Connects with the enzyme responsible for attaching the peptide chain of the freshly synthesized "block"
Pharmacology - Flucloxacillin
Pharmacology - Flucloxacillin Bactericidal action of flucloxacillin occurs through interfering with bacterial cell wall formation during cell division. Mode of Action Connects with the enzyme responsible for attaching the peptide chain of the freshly s
Pharmacology - Amoxicillin
Pharmacology - Amoxicillin Bactericidal action of amoxicillin occurs through interfering with bacterial cell wall formation during cell division. Mode of Action 'Building blocks' are peptide chains that attach to the backbone of peptidoglycan cell wal
Pharmacology - Piperacillin
Pharmacology - Piperacillin Piperacillin inhibits bacterial cell wall production and is thus bactericidal. Mode of Action Connects to the enzyme responsible for attaching the peptide chain of the freshly synthesized "building blocks" to the backbone of
