Decks in this class (17)
1. Infectious Diseases in the 21st Century
1. To describe the change in bacterial infectious diseases in recent years with specific examples 2. To explain drivers for the change in bacteria infectious diseases in the community and hospital and to consider antibiotic resistance
49
cards
2. The Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance
1. To explain how minimum inhibitory concentration of an antibiotic is linked with the definition of antibiotic resistant.
2. To described, with appropriate examples, the various strategies that bacteria use for antibiotic resistance.
3. To explain the rise of ß-lactam resistance in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria with reference to the mobile genetic elements and recombination mechanisms primarily involved.
54
cards
3. The As, Bs, Cs and Ds of beta-lactamases
1. Describe ß-lactam antibiotics and how they work
2. Explain how PBPs can be modified to confer ß-lactam resistance
3. Define ß-lactamases and what they do
4. Describe the different types of ß-lactamases and how they differ
5. Give some examples of ß-lactamases
60
cards
4. Carbapenemases and ß-lactamase Inhibitors
1. Discuss how class A ß-lactamases evolve to become ESBLs.
2. Identify the most clinically important carbapenemases.
3. Describe the basis for carbapenemase activity in Class A and class B enzymes.
4. Describe the usefulness and limitations of currently available ß-lactamase inhibitors.
83
cards
5. New developments in (fluoro)quinolone Resistance
1. Describe the mechanism of action of quinolone antibiotics.
2. Describe mechanisms of quinolone resistance.
3. Discuss how different mechanisms can work together to confer resistance.
68
cards
6. Multi-drug resistant Enterbacterales as a serious nosocomial threat.
1. To describe the key enterobacterales species relevant for the community and healthcare-associated infection and the common diseases caused.
2. To link with other lectures to explain how multi-drug resistance can emerge with specific examples, including intrinsic and acquired mechanisms.
3. To particularly discuss how multiple resistance mechanisms can come together to give resistance to carbapenems and the ß-lactam/ß-lactamase inhibitor combination.
