Exam 3 Diaz Flashcards
What does Isoniazid active against?
mycobacteria
What are extended spectrum antibiotics?
work against gram positive and a significant amount of gram negatives. Ampicillin
What are broad spectrum? Example?
affect a variety of microorganisms, but this can affect normal flora and lead to take over of candida albicans. Tetracycline
What are narrow spectrum drugs? Example?
Only treats a specific form of bacteria. Isoniazid
What meds are cell membrane inhibitors?
Isoniazid
Amphotericin B
Polymyxins
What meds are inhibitors of nucleic acid function or synthesis?
Fluoroquinolones
rifampin
What meds are protein synthesis inhibitors?
Tetracyclines aminoglycosides macrolides clindamycin chloramphenicol linezolid
Cell wall inhibitors
beta lactams vancomycin telamicin fosfomycin daptomycin
metabolism inhibitors?
sulfonamide
trimethoprim
Types of beta lactam antibiotics
penicillin
cephalosporins
carbapenems
monobactams
Types of Beta lactamase inhibitors
calvulinic acid
sulbactam
tazobactam
Other antibiotics that are cell wall inhibitors
bacitracin Vancomycin Daptomycin Fosfomycin telamycin
Name the penicillins
Amoxicillin ampicillin Dicloxacillin Nafacillin Oxacillin Penicillin G Penicillin V Piperacillin Ticarcillin
1st Gen cephalosporins
Cefaderoxil
Cefazolin
Cephalexin
Cephalotin
2nd Gen Cephalosporins
Cefaclor Cefamandole Cefprozil Cefuroxime Cefotetan Cefoxitin
3rd Gen Cefalosporins
Cefdinir Cefixime Cefotaxime Cefotazdime Ceftibuten Ceftizoxime Ceftriaxone
4th Gen Cefalosporins
Cefepime
What is the MOA of Penicillins? How is this rationalized?
interfere with transpeptide or cross linkage of the last stage of cell wall synthesis. They bind to cell wall receptors and bacterial autolysins synergistically work with penicillins to destroy wall.
This makes bacteria cell wall unstable and more osmotically fragile.
What are Penicillins ineffective against?
Mycobacteria
protozoa
fungi
viruses
Where was penicillin first obtained from?
The mold Penicillin chrysogenum
Natural Vs. Semi-synthetic penicillins
Natural: > Antistaphylococcal Semi-synthetic: > Extended Spectrum > Antipseudomonal
What are the standard Penicillins?
CAP-B
> Crystalline Penicillin G (IV)
Penicillin V (PO)
Aqueous procaine penicillin G (IM)
Benzathine Penicillin G (IM)
Antistaphycoccal Penicillins (COMND-I)
Cloxacillin (PO) Oxacillin (IV) Methicillin (IV) Nafcillin (IV) Dicloxacillin (PO) Isoxazloyl Penicillins (IV or PO)
Aminopenicillins
Ampicillin (IV/PO)
Amoxicillin (IV/PO)
How is Penicillin G (Benzylpenicillin ) administered?
IV/IM
because not resistant to acid
What is Pen G active against?
Strep. Pneumoniae > Pyogens > viridans Neisseria Gonorrhea Meningitides Clostridium Perfinges Bacilus Antracis Corynebacterium diphetriae Treponema Pallidum
Pen. V
Is more acid stable and can be used in oral infections by anaerobes.
Semi-synthetic Pen G, Extended spectrum
Ampicillin
Amoxicillin
(also aminopenicillins)
These are similar to Pen G but more effective against Gram-
What is a natural resistance against penicillin?
organism lacking a peptidoglycan cell wall or are impermeable to the drugs.
Acquired resistance to penicillin?
An organism can have a plasmid transfer that leads to other significant problems because it acquires multiple resistance. EG: Beta- lactamase Decreased permeability to drug Altered penicillin binding proteins
absorption of penicillin
most absorbed incompletely after oral intake except Amoxicillin
Excretion of penicillin
primary route is renal
Adverse Rxns to penicillins
> Hypersensitivity in 5% of pts
Diarrhea
Nephritis
Neurotoxicity (can produce seizures if injected intrathecally)
platelet dysfunction (antipseudomonal)
Cation toxicity
Which cephalosporins are Pen G substitutes?
1st Gen Cefadroxil Cefazolin Cephalexin Cephlotin
How do cephalosporins differ compared to penicillins?
they tend to be more resistant to beta lactamases.
How is 2nd gen cephalosporins different?
more activity against gram - such as H. Influenza, E. Aerogenes, Neisseria. and weaker against gram positive
2nd gens with activity against bacteroides fragilis
cefmetazole, cefotetan, cefoxitin (most potent)
3rd gen cephalosporins
inferior to 1st gen with Gram +, but have better activity against gram - bacilli. Same as 2nd gen but with Serratia m.
What are 2 agents of choice against meningitis?
ceftriaxone, cefotaxime
cefepime
only 4th gen cefalosporin, Must be administered parenterally.
What is cefepime effective against?
E. Coli, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis and P. aeroginosa.
advanced gen cefalosporin
ceftaroline
oral broad spectrum cefalosporin
cefitoxime and cefodosime proxetil
administration of cefalosporins
IV/IM
cephalosporins for CSF?
3rd gen
treatment for neonatal or childhood meningitis caused by H. influenzae
ceftriaxone or cefotaxime** (3rd gen)
What is a cephalosporin that has good bone penetration?
cephalexin (1st gen)
cephalosporin used for abdominal sepsis or gynecological sepsis?
cefoxitin (2nd gen)
how are cephalosporins eliminated?
renally, except for cefoperazone or ceftriaxone which is through the bile and excreted
what are some cephalosporins used in renal failure?
cefoperazone or ceftriaxone
adverse effects of cephalosporins
disulfiram effect ( when consumed with alcohol ) usually in 2nd and 3rd Gen. > allergic manifestations: 5-15% patients with penicillin allergy has allergy to cephalosporins. 1-2% allergic who do not have penicillin allergy > hypothrominemia: due to antivitamin K defects
