MECHANISMS OF ACTION
OF ANTIBIOTICS
BACTERIOSTATIC AGENTS


Sulfonamides
Drugs inhibiting protein synthesis
except aminoglycosides
(macrolides, chloramphenicol,
tetracyclines etc).
BACTERICIDAL AGENTS

Beta lactams (penicillins, cephalosporins,
imipenem)

Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole

Vancomycin

Fluoroquinolones

Aminoglycosides
MECHANISMS OF ACTION

Inhibitors of cell wall synthesis

Drugs altering cell membranes

Inhibitors of protein synthesis

Antimetabolites

Inhibitors of nucleic acid synthesis.

COMBINATIONS WITH BETA
LACTAMASE INHIBITORS

Penicillin plus a beta lactamase
inhibitor.
CEPHALOSPORINS AND
IMIPENEM

Same mechanism of action as
penicillins but bind to different
binding proteins.
FOSFOMYCIN

Inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis at
an earlier stage than where the
beta lactams act.

RESISTANCE


RESISTANCE TO OTHER BETA
LACTAM ANTIBIOTICS



Most prevalent mechanism is
hydrolysis by beta lactamases.
Cephalosporins have variable
susceptibility to βlactamases.
Some even induce formation of the
enzymes.
