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