Q

resistance to tetracyclines are due to what

A

tetracyclines resistance are due dec influx, INC efflux, DEC binding to ribosomes

24
Q

what don’t you use Tetracyclines with

A

dont admin tetracyclines with MILK or antacids

25
Q

what is a concern with the distribution of Tetracyclines

A

Tetracylines are sequestered in the bone with some penetration into CNS

26
Q

Tetracyclines are what concern for the mouth

A

Tetracyclines causes yellowing browning of the teeth, don’t admin in the pregnant or young!

27
Q

are tetracyclines photosensitive?

whats a special toxicity of tetracyclines?

A

YES tetracyclines are photosensitive!

tetracyclines= fanconi syndrome: renal tubular dysfunction after admin outdated tetracyclines

28
Q

What is a newer Tetracycline agent that is static and binds to 30s part of ribosome

A

Tigecycline: monocycline and Glycylcycline

29
Q

Tigecycline spectrum? and what is the difference between tigecycline and tetracyclines?

A

Tigecycline is BROAD spectrum effective against gram - and gram + including anaerobes. Tigecycline is not effected by the same resistance mechanisms as tetracycline

30
Q

Tigecycline is used against what bacteria

A

Tigecycline used against bacteria resistant to B lactams, vancomycin, and tetracyclines

31
Q

what is a limiting toxicity of Tigecycline

A

Tigecycline causes nausea

32
Q

what is the clinical use of Tigecycline

A

Tigecycline is used for complicated intra abdominal and skin and skin structure infections

33
Q

What is a nitrobenzene analog that has very limited clinical use

A

Chloramphenicol

34
Q

Chloramphenicol is very limited clinically why?

A

Chloramphenicol causes a fatal side effect: aplastic anemia

35
Q

What is chloramphenicol’s spectrum

A

Chloramphenicol is BROAD spectrum effective against Gram - and Gram +

36
Q

What is Chloramphenicol used for when tetracyclines are ineffective

A

Chloramphenicol is used to treat rikettsial infections when tetracyclines are ineffective

37
Q

What is the resistance of chloramphenicol

A

Chloramphenicol resistance develops due to acetylation of the drug, dec uptake, change in ribosome structure

38
Q

what is the fatal toxicity of chloramphenicol

A

Aplastic anemia!

39
Q

What is the other serious toxicity of chloramphenicol

A

Chloramphenicol is responsible for Gray Baby syndrome- bc neonates can’t glucoronidate chloramphenicol which accumulates inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis- abdominal destination, cyanosis = high mortality

40
Q

what are the 3 macrolides

A

erytrhomycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin

41
Q

Spectrum of macrolides?

macrolides are effective against what?

A

Static some cidal against gram +
Macrolides effective against Mycoplasma pneumonia, Legionnaires, Chlamydial infections, other respiratory infections, pneumoniae
middle ear and sinus infections in children

42
Q

What are the resistance to Macrolides

A

Macrolide resistance from methylation of 50s ribosome, enhanced efflux pump, chromosome mutations of 50s, macrolide hydrolysis by esterases

43
Q

What is used the least out of the 3 macrolides

A

Erythromycin is the least used bc has the shortest half life, narrowest spectrum and least desirable effects
