CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
MICROBIOLOGY: The sulfonamides are bacteriostatic agents and the
spectrum of activity
is similar for all. Sulfonamides inhibit bacterial synthesis of
dihydrofolic acid by preventing
the condensation of the pteridine with aminobenzoic acid through
competitive inhibition
of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase. Resistant strains have
altered
dihydropteroate synthetase with reduced affinity for sulfonamides or
produce increased
quantities of aminobenzoic acid.
Topically applied sulfonamides are considered active against
susceptible strains of the
following common bacterial eye pathogens: _Escherichia coli,
Staphylococcus aureus,_
_Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus _(viridans group),
_Haemophilus influenzae,_
_Klebsiella _species, and _Enterobacter _species.
