high hand hygiene compliance in healthcare settings.
30s
- Tetracycline binding site overlaps partially with the aminoacyl-tRNA binding side
leading to tRNA dissociation from the ribosome blocking translation
malaria
blood and gamete stages
Generates oxidative stress leading to lipid peroxidation which is free radical damage
Resistance - mutations in compensatory pathways that alleviate cellular damage
Target HIV and HBV reverse transcriptase
NRTIs need to be phosphorylated to 5'-TP
Act as chain terminators
Term 2 of 455
MfpA binds to...

Term 4 of 455
Chloramphenicol binds to ______ and inhibits peptidyl transferase
Endocytosis
Membrane fusion
Genetic injection
50S
- Peptidyl transferase facilitates peptide bond formation
Pentapeptide modification (vancomycin)

Term 5 of 455
Dilution method: MIC
The transfer of genes from one genome to another through mechanisms such as
transposable elements, plasmid exchange, viral activity, and perhaps fusions of different
organisms.
- Synthetic derivative of parasitic drug produced by Streptomyces repurposed in 1962
- Prodrug: Activated by anaerobic bacteria, leading to formation of DNA adducts
- Class: Nitroimidazoles
• Used to determine the minimal concentration of antibiotic required to inhibit/kill
bacteria• Can be done either on solid media or liquid media
Target HIV and HBV reverse transcriptase
NRTIs need to be phosphorylated to 5'-TP
Act as chain terminators
,Term 6 of 455
C-55 isoprenyl pyrophosphate (flippase)
-Identification of antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria is challenging due to
intrinsic barrier that is not penetrable for most molecules
- Measuring penetration of a large set of compounds and ranking them will enable the
deduction of rules of penetration
-reduce concentration of antibiotics even before efflux pumps
-provide first line of defense against toxic compounds
-intrinsic resistance of Gram - bacteria
- Facilitates transport of lipid II across bacterial membrane- Recharged against by
dephosphorylation and is shuffled back into the cytoplasm
Term 7 of 455
Metronidazole
- Carcinogen: ability to covalently and irreversibly bind to DNA (acute exposure in
humans is not linked to cancer
- Rare instances: Stevens-Johnson syndrom
- Synthetic derivative of parasitic drug produced by Streptomyces repurposed in 1962
- Prodrug: Activated by anaerobic bacteria, leading to formation of DNA adducts
- Class: Nitroimidazoles
• Used to determine the minimal concentration of antibiotic required to inhibit/kill
bacteria• Can be done either on solid media or liquid media
- Antimicrobial that combines a sulfa-drug (DHPS inhibitor) with trimethoprim (DHFR
inhibitor)
- Less chance for developing resistance
- Provides synergistic effect
, Term 8 of 455

Mycobacterium fluoroquinolone resistance protein A (MfpA) expression in M.
tuberculosis leads to fluoroquinolone resistance
Spores are found in soil (most common in the SW of the US)
Impossible to prevent infection in areas of high risk
Healthy individuals do not get infected
