Hello Behind the Knife listeners, this is Michael. I know there's probably a lot of emotions

swirling out there. If I could mash up the feelings of all of our listeners, it would probably

be a conglomeration of anxiety, excitement, fear, and a bit of

metaphorical breath-holding for that huge sigh of relief that will come when the Absight is finally

over.

If you follow the instructions on the

episode's title you'll be listening to this very close to when you're about to take

the app site. As always it's those hard to remember facts that you just need to hear in the couple of hours before

brain dumping it onto the test. Anyway, try to let go of those negative feelings, let them

slide off you like Teflon, channel those positive emotions that make you want to go and just

dominate this wretched test and focus in on these final quick hit purls that may save you

a few points on the test.

Good luck everybody.

And no better way to get started than the mechanism of action for different antibiotics.

These are tested every year and I can never remember them. So first off just to go into the

inhibitors of cell wall synthesis. These are penicillin's cephalosporins

carbopenums, monopactums, and vancomycin.

And the next category is the ribosome inhibitors for protein synthesis.

Now these are on every year.

They always ask you if it's a 50-S, if it's a 30-S,

and if it inhibits the 30-S or the 50-S to sub-unit subunit of the ribosome.

Unfortunately, there's not a good mnemonic for this.
