Q

Amoxicillin/ampicillin

Study These Flashcards
A

seminsynthetic with broader range than PenG

  • use in small animals, equine, and MASTITIS in cattle
  • ampicillin -> is amped to get to work give it parenterally
  • amoxicillin -> ORALLY
20
Q

Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid (clavamox)

Study These Flashcards
A

C acid binds to Blactamase to increase afficacy of amoxicillin
-only use if B lactamase (resiistance) is suspected or confirmed!)

21
Q

Cloxacillin

Study These Flashcards
A

B lactamase stable penicillin

hes gonna clox that resisitant bacteria

22
Q

Ticarcillin

Study These Flashcards
A

pseudomonas fighting !

23
Q

Cephalexin

Study These Flashcards
A

1st generation
FIRST LINE ANTIOBIOTIC in small animals
ORALLY
can dose higher for gram neg sometimes (recall first gen more Gram pos than neg)

24
Q

cefazolin

Study These Flashcards
A

first generation
same spectrum as cephalexin but PARENTERAL use NOT ORAL

use in small animals and horses
*used prophylactically in surger (as you ‘zol’ into surgery)

25
cephapirin
first generation similar spectrum as cephalexin MASTITS in cattle -> intramammary infusion "whats hapirin" with that udder ?!"
26
cefoxitin
second generation ANAEROBES given IV to treat serious infections
27
ceftiofur
third generation LG animal - FOOT ROT, MASTITIS, RESP dz 'Fur' = Foot root, Udder inflammation, Resp dz
28
cefovecin
``` third generation 99% protein boud -> REALLY LONG duration of action dosed q7-14 days injectable DOGS: PYODERMA due to staph and strep CATS: pasteurella ```
29
cefpodoxime
third generation small animal GRAM NEG infection (third generation!! ) prodrug ester (cefpodoxime proxetil) converted to active after GI absorption
30
which of the b lactam ABS classes is lease prone to being affected by resistance ?
Carbapenems
31
about carbapenems
- less prone to resistance - TREAT PSEUDOMONAS - last resort for extendeded spectrum beta lactamase bacterial infxn - LONGER PAE that other beta lactam ABs - PARENTERAL ONLY!!!!(IV SQ) - imipenem - IV infusion only - meropenem -SUB Q - DO CROSS THE BBB - greater toxic potential than other B lactams
32
imipenem
uncommonly used in small animals for hihg resistant gram - bacteria - DILUTE IV SLOW INFUSION - risk of seizures, phlebitis - ALWAYS combo with CILASTIN to delay metabolism and reduce renal toxicity
33
meropenem
same indication as imipenem CAN be used SUB Q fewer side effects
34
Glycopeptide AB of vet interest
vancomycin
35
MoA of vancomycin
its a glycopeptide -> so it bnids to PEPTIDEoGLYCan 'ends' and prevents formation of long polymers needed to form the cell wall as stops corss linking. leads to structural instabolity and osmotic pressure susceptibilty(like B lactams)
36
T or F: vancomycin is useful against both Gram pos and Gram neg bacteria like other cell wall synthesis inhibotrs (B lactams, Bacitracin, and polymixin B)
``` FALSE: Vancomycin (glycopeptide), bacitracin, and Polymixin B (cell membrane inhibition) are not able to act on both Vancomycin = GRAM POS ONLY Polymixin B = GRAM NEG ONLY Bacitracin = GRAM POS ONLY ```
37
Vancomycin
-last resort against MRSA in humans use carefully -works on any gram pos -b lactam resistant infxn -not abosrbed orally! -> can be used to fight C. difficile in the GI tract -USE IV ONLY -does not cross the BBB (only cell wall synthesis AB that does are carbapenems) -some synergy seen with aminoglycosides (UNLIKE B LACTAMS) -BANNED IN FOOD PRODUCTION -
38
can you use all of the cell wall synthesis ABs in food production?
VANCOMYCIN IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE USED IN FOOD ANIMALS
39
Bacitracin MoA
bind to isoprenyl pyrophosphate enzyme which transports building blocks to make polymer chains in the cell wall.
40
Bacitracin
GRAM POS ONLY bacteriocidal or static -NEPHROTOXIC -> so use orally or topically only -complexed with zinc -part of the 'triple antibiotic' ointment (Neosporin, polymixin B, bacitracin) resisance not a problem despite being used in food production
41
Polymixin B MoA
ACTS ON THE CELL MEMBRANE (so gram Neg duh) - acts as a CATIONIC DETERGENT to the phospholipid cell membrane and breaks it down (binds to LPSs endotoxin) - cytoplasm leaks out-> rapid cell death
42
polymixin B
gram neg only - including PSEUDOMONAS - resisance aquired is rare - MoA makes it viable to attack mammalian cells -> TOXIC-> only use topically - using other than topical would lead to nephro and ototoxicity - available as part of the triple antibiotics (with bacitracin and neomycin)
43
what should you be aware of about BNP ointments?
fatal anaphylactic resposes in cats has been reported
44
Cell wall synthesis drugs that DO treat pseduomonas
polymixin B ticarcillin carbapenems
45
MoA of tetracyclines
binds charged transfer RNA (which would normally bind to 30s ribosimal subunit nRNA complex) Tetracycline binds T RNA
46
about tetracyclines
generally ORALLY abosorbe(except oxytetracycline) large spectrum (gram pos and neg, spirochetes -> lepto and borrelia, rickettsila -> ehrlicia and anaplasma, mycoplasma, chlamidophila, anaerobes -bacteriostatic -GOOD PENETRATION IN HARD TO REACH TO REACH TISSUES (csf, bone, prostate) -ANTAGONSITIC TO PENICILLINS -YELLOWING OF TEETH in growing animals -GI ISSUES-anoerxia (small animal), esophageal stricture (cats), superinfection in horses, bitter tasting -
