​Pharmacology - Cefuroxime

Pharmacology - Cefuroxime  Cefuroxime inhibits the production of bacterial cell walls, making it a potent germicide. Mode of Action  Connects to the enzyme responsible for attaching the peptide chain of the freshly synthesized "building blocks" to the ba


​Pharmacology - Ceftazidime

Pharmacology - Ceftazidime  The bactericidal action of ceftazidime is to prevent the production of bacterial cell walls during cell division. Mode of Action  'Building blocks' are peptide chains that attach to the backbone of peptidoglycan cell walls; t


​Pharmacology - Imipenem

Pharmacology - Imipenem  Imipenem is a bactericidal agent that prevents bacteria from dividing by interfering with their cell wall formation. Mode of Action  'Building blocks' are peptide chains that attach to the backbone of peptidoglycan cell walls; t


​Pharmacology - Vancomycin

Pharmacology - Vancomycin  Method of Operation The compound is bactericidal and inhibits the production of cell walls in bacteria that are dividing. Administered orally for temporary relief in the mouth; otherwise administered intravenously; renal excret


​Pharmacology - Doxycycline

Pharmacology - Doxycycline  Bacterial protein synthesis is hindered by doxycycline because it reversibly inhibits the binding of tRNA to the mRNA codons in the 30s subunit and competes with it for the A site of the ribosome. Orally administered; milk and
