Microbiology: antimicrobial drugs Flashcards

isoniazid is a particular value

the two major drawbacks to the use of penicillin are

a common feature of bacitracin and polymyxin B is that both antibiotics

both the cephalosporin and penicillin antibiotic

chloroquine, primaquine, and quinine are of value for the treatment of

the tubercle bacillus is usually susceptible to

the Kirby-Bauer test is useful for determining

cephalosporin antibiotics may be used

all aminoglycoside antibiotics function by

pseudomembranous colitis is a condition of the intestine that may be related to

carbenicillin and methicillin should not be used to treat disease if

In competitive inhibition, sulfanilamide is used by a bacterium in an aborted attempt to

the beta lactam nucleus is the basic structure of the

first generationo cephalosporins must be injected because

ampicillin is preferable to penicillin because it

a physician has determined that he must prescribe chloramphenicol to treat an infection. He should

tetracycline antibiotics interfere with

penicillin is most effective against

carbenicillin is best classified as a

chloramphenicol

MRSA is resistant to

both vancomycin and rifampin interfere with aspects of folic acid metabolism in bacteria that cause urinary tract infections

penicillinase-producing bacteria convert penicillin to penicilloic acid, which has no effect on the bacterial cell wall

aplastic anemia, which is related to chloramphenicol therapy, arises from activity in the bone marrow that prevents hemoglobin incorporation into red blood cells

pseudomembranous colitis, a side effect of clindamycin and linconmycin therapy, is accompanied by membranous lesions on the intestinal wall

the antituberculosis drug isoniazid presumably interferes with cell wall synthesis in Mycobacterium by inhibiting production of sulfanic acid

antibiotic abuse encourages the emergence of resistant species of microorganisms

penicillin antibiotics are used primarily against gram-positive bacteria, but in high concentrations they are also inhibitory to gram-negative bacteria

most of the available antimicrobial agents are effective against

in what way are semisynthetic penicillin and natural penicillin alike

which of the following antimicrobial agents is recommended for use against systemic fungal infections

which of the following antibiotics does NOT interfere with cell wall synthesis

the antimicrobial drugs with the broadest spectrum of activity are

protozoan and helminthic diseases are difficult to treat because

niclosamide prevents ATP generation in mitochondria. You would expect this drug to be effective against

which of the following does NOT affect eukaryotic cells

a major side effect of chloramphenicol therapy is yellowish staining teeth

antibiotic penicillin is used primarily against gram-negative bacteria

two major side effects of the use of amoxicillin are the loss of hearing and nephrotoxicity

chloroquine and quinine are the drugs of choices for the treatment of fungal disease

isoniazid is of particular value for treating tuberculous bacterial infections

the range of activity of tetracycline includes gram positive and negative bacteria, rickettsia, mycoplasma and chlamydial infections

photosensitivity is one of the side effects of the tetracycline drug

athlete foot can be treated with bacitracin

Nalidixic acid is a type of fluoroquinolone which inhibits the DNA replications. The drug is effective against urinary tract infections

clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor

a drug such as clotrimazole, would be more effective against

the antimicrobial drug with the broadest spectrum of activity is

protozoan and helminthic diseases are difficult to treat because

niclosamide drug is effective against

the tubercle bacillus is usually effective against

the Kirby-Bauer test is useful for determining

mebendazole is effective against

erythromycin antibiotics may be used when person is allergic to which antibiotic

miconazole and ketoconazole typify the

ciprofloxacin is a type of

in competitive inhibition, sulfanilamide is used by a bacterium in an aborted attempt to

cephalosporins act by

MRSA is resistant to which group of antibiotic

carbenicillin is best classified as
