Directly kill bacteria: Agents include
aminoglycosides, beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones,
metronidazole, most antimycobacterial agents,
streptogramins, and vancomycin.
Bactericidal antibiotics
preferred for immunocompromised patients such as
those with diabetes, HIV, or cancer and for those
who have overwhelming infections
inhibit bacterial proliferation while the host's immune
Bacteriostatic agents system does the killing. Agents include clindamycin,
macrolides, sulfonamides, and tetracyclines
Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Carbapenems,
β-lactam Antibiotics
Monobactams
Weaken bacterial cell wall by two actions:
Penicillins MOA (1) inhibition of transpeptidases
(2) disinhibition (activation) of autolysins.
Transpeptidases, Autolysins, and other bacterial
PBPs (Penicillin Binding enzymes are collectively named as because
Proteins) antibiotic class must bind to them to produce
antibacterial effects.
two layers: the cytoplasmic membrane and a
gram-positive bacteria relatively thick cell wall; penicillins are generally
very active against these organisms.
three layers: the cytoplasmic membrane, a relatively
thin cell wall, and an additional outer membrane;
gram-negative bacteria
only certain penicillins (e.g., ampicillin) are able to
cross and reach penicillin binding proteins (PBPs)
