Penicillinase-resistant penicillins - ANS Oxacillin, nafcillin, dicloxacillin
broad spectrum penicillins - ANS - ampicillin and amoxicillin
- good oral absorption (amoxicillin = excellent)
- broad spectrum (improved against gram negative organisms - e.coli, salmonella, shigella, H.
Influenza, H pylori, proteus)
How do penicillins and cephalosporins work? - ANS By weakening the cell wall and promoting
lysis and death
, Bactericidal drugs are - ANS Directly lethal to bacteria at achievable concentrations
Why are narrow spectrum drugs preferred over broad spectrum antibiotics? - ANS Broad
spectrum antibiotics do the most to facilitate emergence of resistance
How does bacterial resistance develop with penicillins? - ANS -production of penicillin binding
proteins that have low affinity for penicillins
-inability of penicillins to reach their target
-inactivation of penicillins by bacterial enzymes
