    Mechanism of action Aminoglycosides; Amikacin: Amikin: Infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Effective against aerobic bacteria (not obligate/facultative anaerobes) and tularemia. All aminoglycosides are ineffective when taken orally as the stomach will digest ...

    Streptomycin. 2D line-angle representation.. Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside ().

  5. Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbapenem-resistant_enter...

    One mechanism of resistance is mutation in or loss of outer membrane porins, preventing antibiotics from entering the cells. [21] Changes within the porin protein gene cause a frameshift, altering the porin structure and function. [21] Changes in the porin protein hinder the diffusion of carbapenem and other antibiotics into the periplasm. [22]

  6. Mechanism of action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_action

    The mechanism of action of aspirin involves irreversible inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase; [17] therefore suppressing the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes, thus reducing pain and inflammation. This mechanism of action is specific to aspirin and is not constant for all nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Rather ...

    Pharmacokinetics: . Process of the uptake of drugs by the body, the biotransformation they undergo, the distribution of the drugs and their metabolites in the tissues, and the elimination of the drugs and their metabolites from the body over a period of time.

  9. Pleuromutilin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleuromutilin

    Pleuromutilin belongs to the class of secondary metabolites known as terpenes, which are produced in fungi through the mevalonate pathway (MEP pathway). [10] Its synthetic bottleneck lays on the production of the precursor GGPP and the following formation of the tricyclic structure, which is catalyzed by Pl-cyc, a bifunctional diterpene synthase (DTS).
