Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibitors Quiz

A large group of antibiotics that target the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, ultimately leading to bacterial death.

A class of cell wall synthesis inhibitors known for their effectiveness against Gram-positive bacteria, inhibiting transpeptidation and activating cell wall lytic enzymes.

A specific penicillin with a narrow spectrum, effective against Gram-positive bacteria. It is often administered via injection.

A penicillin with a narrow spectrum, similar to Penicillin G, but can be taken orally. It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria.

A penicillin with a narrow spectrum, effective against Gram-positive bacteria. It is often used to treat methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA).

A penicillin with a narrow spectrum, effective against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly penicillinase-producing bacteria. It is often administered intravenously.

A penicillin with a narrow spectrum, effective against Gram-positive bacteria. It is often administered orally.

A penicillin with a broad spectrum, effective against both Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria. Often given intravenously or orally.

A penicillin with a broad spectrum, effective against both Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria. It is often administered intravenously.

A penicillin with a broad spectrum, effective against Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria. It can be given orally or intravenously. It is commonly combined with clavulanate to widen its coverage.

A penicillin with a very broad spectrum, effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas. It is often given intravenously.

A penicillin with a very broad spectrum, effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas. It is often given intravenously.

A penicillin with a very broad spectrum, effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas. It is often combined with clavulanate to enhance its activity.

Another class of cell wall synthesis inhibitors known to target a wider range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, also inhibiting transpeptidation and activating lytic enzymes.

A cephalosporin used in intravenous and intramuscular administration, effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is often given in combination with other drugs.

A cephalosporin used for intravenous or intramuscular administration, effective against a variety of bacteria, including some resistant strains.

A cephalosporin used intravenously, known to be effective against a broad range of bacteria, including those found in the respiratory tract.

A cephalosporin given intravenously, known to be effective against a wide range of bacteria, including some penicillin-resistant strains.

A cephalosporin given orally, effective against a variety of bacteria, including some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

A cephalosporin given intravenously, effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including many resistant strains.

An antibiotic targeting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, it differs from penicillins and cephalosporins in its mechanism of action.

A drug used in treating mycobacterial infections, targeting the synthesis of lipids in the cell wall.

A class of antibiotics that primarily target the synthesis of proteins in bacteria.

A class of protein synthesis inhibitors that bind to the 30S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, leading to misreading of mRNA and bacterial death.

A class of broad-spectrum antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis by preventing the binding of Aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome.

A class of protein synthesis inhibitors that bind to the 50S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, preventing translocation during protein synthesis.

An antibiotic known to inhibit protein synthesis through a different mechanism than other inhibitors of this group.

A class of protein synthesis inhibitors that bind to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing the formation of the initiation complex in protein synthesis.
