1. Zimnic CV is protected cefixime because

Explanation

Clavulanic acid protects Cefixime against Beta Lactamase enzyme. Beta Lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can break down certain antibiotics, including Cefixime. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor, meaning it can bind to and inactivate the beta-lactamase enzyme. By protecting Cefixime against the beta-lactamase enzyme, Clavulanic acid allows Cefixime to remain effective in treating bacterial infections.

2. In children the Cephalosporins are better than the Fluoroquinolones (FQs) because

Explanation

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are not recommended in children due to their adverse effects. This means that they can cause harmful effects in children and are therefore not suitable for use in this population. The other options mentioned, such as being expensive, not available in syrup form, and having a bitter taste, are not relevant to why Cephalosporins are considered better than FQs in children.

Submit
3. Which of these is the causative pathogen of UTI ?

Explanation

E.coli is the causative pathogen of UTI. E.coli, or Escherichia coli, is a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines and is the most common cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). It can enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply in the bladder, causing infection. E.coli is responsible for approximately 80-90% of all UTIs.

Submit
4. Balofox is superior to the other conventional quinolones because

Explanation

Balofox is considered superior to other conventional quinolones because it has low photo toxicity, meaning it is less likely to cause adverse reactions when exposed to light. Additionally, it has reduced CNS (central nervous system) side effects, making it safer and more tolerable for patients. Furthermore, Balofox provides additional coverage against Gram-positive pathogens, broadening its spectrum of activity and making it more effective against a wider range of bacteria. Therefore, all of the given statements about Balofox are true.

Submit
5. The cephalosporins belongs to which class of antibiotics

Explanation

Cephalosporins belong to the class of antibiotics called Betalactam. This class of antibiotics includes drugs that contain a beta-lactam ring in their chemical structure, which is responsible for their antibacterial activity. Cephalosporins are structurally similar to penicillins and share a similar mechanism of action, inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. They are commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Monobactams and quinolones are different classes of antibiotics and are not related to cephalosporins.

Submit
6. As we go up in the Generation from first to four in cephalosporins 

Explanation

As we go up in the generation from first to fourth in cephalosporins, the gram negative coverage increases. This means that the higher the generation of cephalosporin, the more effective it is against gram-negative bacteria. This is due to the development of new generations of cephalosporins with improved spectrum of activity against different types of bacteria.

Submit
7. The tool available with me for improving the product knowledge of my DSMs

Explanation

The correct answer is Knowledge Bank because it is stated in the question that the tool is available for improving the product knowledge of DSMs. The term "Knowledge Bank" implies a repository of information and resources that can be accessed to enhance one's understanding of the product. Therefore, the Knowledge Bank is the most suitable option for improving product knowledge.

Submit
8. Which of these quinolones have highest concentration in the urine ?

Explanation

Ciprofloxacin has the highest concentration in the urine compared to the other quinolones. This is because ciprofloxacin is excreted primarily through renal elimination, meaning it is filtered by the kidneys and eliminated in the urine. The other quinolones may also be excreted in the urine to some extent, but ciprofloxacin has a higher affinity for renal elimination, resulting in a higher concentration in the urine.

Submit
9. Which of these cephalosporins has highest half life of 8 hours

Explanation

Ceftraixone has the highest half-life of 8 hours among the given cephalosporins. Half-life refers to the time it takes for the concentration of a drug in the body to decrease by half. A longer half-life indicates that the drug remains in the body for a longer duration, allowing for a sustained therapeutic effect. In this case, Ceftraixone's longer half-life suggests that it remains in the body for a longer time compared to the other cephalosporins listed.

Submit
10. Which of these  has best action against Pseudomonas

Explanation

Ciprofloxacin has the best action against Pseudomonas. Pseudomonas is a type of bacteria that can cause various infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections. Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that belongs to the fluoroquinolone class. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Pseudomonas. Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting the DNA gyrase enzyme, which is essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair. This action prevents the bacteria from multiplying and eventually leads to their death. Therefore, Ciprofloxacin is the best choice for treating infections caused by Pseudomonas.
