What is the activity of ALL beta lactams?
bactericidal, time dependent, PAE
How are ALL beta lactams metabolized and excreted?
no metabolism, renal elimination
What two adverse effects are associated with beta lactams?
type A - GI toxicity
tybe B - allergies +++, cross reactivity
What are the two aminopenicillins?
amoxicillin and ampicillin
What are the two Beta lactamase resistant penicillins? (anti staphylococcal)
methicillin, oxacillin
What are the two extended spectrum penicillins?
ticarcillin, piperacillin
What group of beta lactams has a “eagle effect”?
penicillins
What is the difference in spectrum between basic penicillins and aminopenicillins?
aminos have more aerobic gram - spectrum (both do pasteurella)
What benefits are achieved by combining penicillins and aminoglycosides?
increased penetration of aminoglycosides inside bacteria, additive or synergistic effect
What can penicillin be degraded by? (3)
GI amidases and acidity (poor oral absorption)
bacterial Beta lactamases
What two penicillins have increased oral bioavailability?
aminopenicillins and penicillin V
What two drugs can increase the half life of penicillins?
procaine and benzathine
What group of penicillins should never be used empirically?
anti-pseudomonal penicillins (extended spectrum)
What are the 3 generations of cephalexin drugs we need to know?
1st - cephalexin
2nd - cefuroxime
3rd - ceftiofur, cefovecin
What are the spectrums for each gen of cephalosporins?
1st - Gram + aerobic and anaerobic and beta lactamase +, modest gram - (but not gr - beta lactamse +)
2nd - mmore gram - (decreased gr +)
3rd - even more gram - (decreased gr +)
What cephalosporin has a very long half life for dogs and cats?
cefovecin (convenia)
What are the adverse reactions of cephalosporins?
A - GI toxicity, nephrotoxicity
B - common, cross reactivity
What group of drugs are carbapaems and monobactams?
beta lactams
What is a carbapenem drug?
imipenem
What is a monobactam drug?
aztreonam
What is the spectrum of carbapenems?
gram + and -, aerobes, anaerobes, beta lactamse +
What is the spectrum of monobactams?
most gram - (some beta lactamase +)
NOT active against gram +
What are the three peptide antibiotics?
glycopeptides - vancomycin
polymyxin B
bacitracin
What is the activity of glycopeptides?
bactericidal
both time and concentration dependent
