Oxazolidinones and streptogramins Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Quinupristin-dalfopristin bind to the _____ ribosomal subunit

Answer: 50S

Flashcard 2: What is the mechanism of action of the Streptogramin combination Quinupristin-Dalfopristin?

Answer: Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the **50S subunit**: 1. **Dalfopristin**: Inhibits peptidyl transferase (peptide bond formation) 2. **Quinupristin**: Inhibits translocation (peptide exit)

Extra: Individually they are bacteriostatic, but the combination is bactericidal. Used for VRE (*E. faecium*) and MRSA.
