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.
Topically applied sulfonamides do not provide adequate coverage
against _Neisseria_ species, _Serratia_
_marcescens_ and _Pseudomonas aeruginosa._ A significant percentage of
staphylococcal isolates are
completely resistant to sulfa drugs.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Streptococcus_ (viridans group),
_Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella_ species, and _Enterobacter_
species.
