Q

beta-lactam drugs

Study These Flashcards
A

Penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams and carabapenems

25
beta-lactams are widely used in vet med because
broad spectrum, favorable safety profiles, clinical efficacy
26
because beta-lactams are time dependent
they are eliminated quickly(short half life, lipophilic), need to be given more often to keep over minimum concentration needed.
27
because beta-lactams are time dependent
they are eliminated quickly(short half life, hydrophilic), need to be given more often to keep over minimum concentration needed.
28
As you go down the cephalosporin generations they become more bacteriacidal towards
gram negative and anaerobes
29
Patient with bacterial encephalitis/meningitis, do you want to use penincillin?
No, will penetrate enflamed BBB and cause seizures?
30
Beta-Lactams resistance, 3 mechanisms?
1. production of beta-lactamase 2. changes in structure of PBPs(MRSA) (giving plasmids to neighbors?) 3. impenetrable membrane pores
31
Penicillin drug interactions
limited -> diminished renal tubular secretion (phenylbutazone, sulfonamides, salicylates, barbituates)
32
Penicillin drug interactions
limited -> diminished renal tubular secretion (phenylbutazone, sulfonamides, salicylates, barbituates) so it stays in the body longer?
33
Cephalosporins
similar to penicillins | most are NOT protein bound
34
if you're resistant to penicillin common to be resistant to
chephalosporin
35
second generation cephalosporin
loses gram positive affect (wont kill staph, pseudomonas) | don't use first.
36
Imipenem
used when nothing else is working, highly resistant cases(betalactamase bacteria with penicillin resistance). Use with anti-septic.
37
Polypeptides (3)
Bacitracin, vancomycin(very uncommonly used bc big gun), polymixin -also cell wall inhibitors, used in eye drops for conjunctivitis
38
Very few agents are effective against intracellular organisms. _______ and _______ are.
Tetracyclin, Macrolides
39
Aminoglycosides (Gentamycin, Amikacin)
- concentration dependent - use for G- anaerobes, inhibit protein synthesis 30s - great for UTIs given animal doesn't have renal failure.
40
Predominant organs for aminoglycoside toxicity
renal cortex, inner ear
41
erlichia, intracellular pathogen use
tetracyclines (tetracyclin, doxycycline)
42
tetracyclines
- bacteriostatic, inhibition protein synthesis 30s - food reduces absorption orally - caustic to esophagus (Causes stricture) if don't follow pill with water in cats
43
Macrolides
effective against G+, -, and intracelular organisms (ricketsia and mycoplasma) (some make clostridium sporylate, Clindamycin)
44
azithromycin
macrolide for respiratory disease
45
Chloramphenicol
bacteriostatic, inhibits protein synthesis 50s | **Never use in food animals
46
sulfonamides
- inhibits pyrimidine, DNA synthesis - bacteriostatic - G+/-, not psuedomonas
47
trimethoprim
potentiated agent sulfonamide | **when combined with sulfa's become bacteriocidal b/c inhibits two sequential steps in pyrimidine synthesis
48
Fluoroquinolones/quinolones
Enrofloxacin, Marboflaxacin - inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase - concentration dependent (but lipophilic unlike penicillin so isn't eliminated as quick) - bacteriacidal - accumulates in Mphages -> good for pulmonary infections - broad spectrum for G- and aerobes - This is not a first abx!
49
problems with quinolones
puppies affects chondrocytes, cats -> risk blindness
50
Metronidazole
- concentration dependent - protozoa (giardia) - Also is immune modulator - most G- anaerobes (clostridium, fusobacterium) not G+ especially large bowel rupture/septicemia
51
Metronidazole pharmacokinetics
lipophilic, food increases bioavailability in dogs
52
UTI is an _____ infection
G- aerobic
53
adverse reactions of metronidazole
- metallic taste - anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea - neuro and hepatotoxic at high doses
54
Lincosamides:Clindamycin
``` most anaerobes (strep, staph) oropharyngeal or respiratory infections sometimes sepsis ```
55
Bypass the BBB***
Chloramphenicol, doxyclcline, metronidazole, some 3rd gen cephalosporins
56
Renal, Liver and biliary excretion
macrolides
57
hepatic excretion
doxy, phenicols, metrinidazole
58
Liver and Kidney Excretion
sulfas, quinolones
59
Rifampin
