Antibacterial Agents Flashcards
Penicillins pharmacokinetics
renal excretion
Penicillins MOA
Cell wall synthesis stage 3, bactericidal
Penicillin adverse reactions
anaphylaxis (type I, rare), rash (common), convulsions (very high doses)
Penicillin G and V
Pen G: IM/IV (poor oral) Pen V: acid stable, good oral G+ cocci: All strep, staph, enterococcus G- cocci: Neisseria, M. Cattarhalsis Anaerobes: C. perfringens
Penicilinase-resistant: oxacillin, dicloxacillin, methicillin, Nafcillin)
good oral (not methicillin or Nafcillin)
G + cocci: All strep, staph, MSSA (narrow spec B lactamase)
good with skin infections (not MRSA)
Extended spectrum (amoxicillin/ampicillin)
good oral, less potent than Pen V/G G+ cocci: All strep, Enteroccocus G- cocci: E Coli, H. Flu, Proteus Anaerobes: C. Perfringes Diarrhea (less with amoxicillin) and Superinfection CDAD
Antipseudomonal (piperacillin, ticarcillin + B Lactamase inhibitor)
IV only
G+ cocci: All strep, MSSA, enterococcus
G- cocci: H. Flu, E. Coli, E. Coli (TEM-1), E. Coli (ESBL)
G- bacilli: Klebsiella, pseudomonas
Anaerobes: C. perfringes, bacteriodes fragiles
Name of B-lactamase inhibitors
clavulonic acid, tazobactam, piperacillin
Cephalosporins MOA and spectrum/uses
Cell wall synthesis inhibition (stage 3) bactericidal
extended spectrum NOT susceptible to penicillinases (NSBL)
Cephalosporins Pharmacokinetics
renal excretion (almost all)
cephalosporins adverse reactions
allergy (less severe than penicillins)
some cross reactivity in approx 1-5%
1st generation cephalosporins
cephalexin, cephradine: good oral
cefazolin: IV/IM only
adverse reactions: diarrhea
2nd generation cephalosporins
cefaclor, cefuroxime: good oral
cefoxitin: IV/IM only
adverse reactions: DDI- enhancement of warfarin anticoagulant & superinfections CDAD possible
3rd generation cephalosporins
Cefdinir: good oral
cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone: good CNS penetration
Cefepime: 4th generation!
Adverse Reaction: Superinfection CDAD possible
Vancomycin
C.W. synthesis inhibition (stage 2) bactericidal
poor oral absorption, renal excretion
Adverse Reactions: infusion related: chills/fever/rash, ototoxicity, renal toxicity, ROUTINE MONITORING OF Cp LEVELS
Carbapenems
Imipenem, Meropenem, Eratenem
C.W. synthesis inhib, (stage 3) bactericidal
IV, renal excretion, once daily with Ertapenem
Adverse reactions: nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, seizures possible with high doses
Macrolides MOA
Protein synthesis inhibition (50S)
bacteriostatic
Macrolides Pharmacokinetics
good oral (also IV) concentrates in lungs
