Exam 2 - Beta Lactams Info & Spectrum of Activity Flashcards
This deck covers the different Beta Lactams and their spectrum of activity/target organisms. This includes Penicillin drugs and Cephalosporin drugs (35 cards)
what are the natural penicillins
-aqueous pen g
-benzathine pen g
-procaine pen g
-pen vk
natural penicillin gram positive coverage
excellent against non BLase producing
group and viridans strep
some strep pneumo
most enterococcus
bacillus spp.
very little staph spp.
natural penicillin gram negative coverage
neisseria
natural penicillin coverage against anaerobes
mostly GP anaerobes
above the diaphragm
