Study Notes
Cephalosporins
- Cephalosporins are grouped into generations and are part of the larger class of antibiotics known as beta-lactam antibiotics.
Fifth-Generation Cephalosporins
- Fifth-generation cephalosporins have activity against S.aureus strains, unlike other cephalosporins.
Biliary Sludging
- High doses of certain antibiotics have been associated with biliary sludging.
Peptide Synthesis
- Peptide synthesis involves multiple stages, including building and glycosylation.
Sources of Antibiotics
- Antibiotics have various sources, including natural and synthetic sources.
Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics
- Bacteria have developed different mechanisms to evade the effects of antibiotics, including enzyme production to degrade antibiotics.
Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance
- Bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics through mutations, reducing drug uptake, and producing enzymes to degrade antibiotics.
Treatment of Infections
- Tetracyclen is the first choice for treating plague and tularemia infections.
Aminoglycosides
- Aminoglycosides are bactericidal against gram-negative bacteria, including E.Coli.
Streptomycin Resistance
- Resistance to streptomycin develops rapidly through mutations, reducing drug uptake, and producing enzymes to degrade antibiotics.
Childhood Infections
- In children, Neomycin is used to treat intestinal infections caused by pathogenic E.Coll strains.
Gentamicin and Tobramycin
- Gentamicin and Tobramycin are used to treat most types of bacterial infections, with some exceptions.
