▪Differentiate Bacteriostatic and Bacterialcidal.
•bactericidal – directly lethal to bacteria at clinically achievable concentrations
•bacteriostatic – slow bacterial growth but do not cause cell death
▪What is the difference between broad spectrum and narrow spectrum?
•Narrow – active against only a few species of microorganisms
•Broad – active against a wide variety of microbes
▪Which is preferred?
•Narrow-spectrum
▪antibiotic classifications by MOA?
•Drugs that inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis
oPenicillins, cephalosporins
•Drugs that increase cell membrane permeability
oAmphotericin B
•Drugs that cause lethal inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis
oAminoglycosides
•Drugs that cause nonlethal inhibition of protein synthesis
oTetracyclines
•Drugs that inhibit bacterial synthesis of DNA and RNA
