Q

antibiotic sensitivity testing vs E-test for antibiotic MIC

A

e-test: strips have varying levels of conc. as the zone of conc. increases, the zone of inhibition increases too signifying that the drug works for it

Q

explain concentration dependent vs time dependent

A

conc: the higher the drug concentration given, the greater the killer
has Post-antibiotic effect
time: killing extent remains stable at a particular drug conc., goes below MIC –> NO PAE, have to give drug continuously for it to work

25
what is a beta lactamase
it cleaves ring so it cannot bind to PBP --> making body resistant to penicillin
26
what is the drug of choice when getting bit by a dog/human?
aminopencillin WITH beta-lactamase inhibitors such as AUGMENTIN --- apparently clindamycin too (from kahoot)
27
what is the drug of choice fro skin tissue and diabetic foot
aminopencillin WITH beta-lactamase inhibitors such as AUGMENTIN or unasyn
28
which drug is designed solely* to cover S.auerus (MSSA)
penicillinase-resistant Penicillins | -nafcillin, oxacillin, dicloxacillin
29
what is the go to tx for MRSA
vancomycin
30
aminopencillin WITH beta-lactamase inhibitors such as AUGMENTIN or unasyn cover for
MSSA
31
which penicillin has the most BROAD coverage and whats an important thing that will cover
``` antipseudomonal penicillin *piperacillin/tazobactam (Zosyn)* -- psuedo --- broad so polymicrobial infxn ```
32
all PNC are ___ dependent killers
time
33
what type of betalactam antibiotic is good for cerebrospinal fluid penetration
cephalosporins
34
which betalactam does NOT cover for enterococcus
cephalosporins
35
which cephalosporins have antipseudomonal activity
3rd: ceftazidime (Forfaz), 4th: cefepime (maxipime), and 5th: Ceftolozane/tanzo (zerbaxa)
36
Which ceph is the black sheep and why?
ceftazidimine (forfaz); treats for psudomonas but it gains FAST resistance against it so not preferred
37
compare cefepime (maxipime) with piperacillin/tazobactam (Zosyn)
both antipseudo - zosyn covers anaerobes and enterococci - cefepime does NOT cover anaerobes and enterococci
38
which betalactam has mostly renal elimination
cephalosporins
39
which drug is gram pos, some gram neg coverage and is mainly given before surgeries to prevent infection
1st gen: cefazolin (ancef)
40
what cepholosporin is the go to aka the GOAT that has good strep coverage aka given to pt with fever/sepsis
3rd gen: ceftriaxone (rocephin) IV and cefdinir (omnicef) PO
41
what drug would you not give the first 30 days of life
3rd gen: ceftriaxone (rocephin
42
what drug would you give to a neonate with fever/sepsis; what gen is this
3rd gen: cefotaxime (claforan) IV
43
why is ceftriaxone (rocephin) convenient
time dependent drug but long enough half life that just needs to be given once a day - no need to worry about renal dosing
44
what type of bacteria are gut flora killers
anaerobes in gram neg
45
define empiric coverage
broad spectrum to narrow once culture results are given to treat infxn
46
what is neutropenic fever and what would you give to treat?
4th gen ceph: Cefepime (Maxipime) | - its when pt is immunosuppresssed and cant fight fever on own
47
which cephalosporin covers for MRSA
5th gen ceph: Ceftaroline (Teflaro) --- community acquired pneumonia where MRSA develops
48
what does monobactam cover
gram neg - pseudomonas aeurginosa - enterobacteriacea activity
49
all of the carbapenems cover for pseudomonas except
ertapenem
50
which medication should be monitored when there is renal failure causing seizures
Imipenem
51
what are the most broad spectrum beta lactam
carbapenems BIG GUNS
52
which betalactam is resistant to hydrolysis from B lactamase, drug of choice for (ESBL) and MDR
carbapenems
53
carbaoebens hace ___ penetration
CNS, good for meningitis
54
what is the MOA for vancomycin
binds to 2 D-Ala directly on peptide to block cross-linking | difficult to develop a resistance
55
if vancomycin is not a beta lactam abx then it is
glycopeptide antibiotic
56
vancomycin is such a large structure so it does not absorb via ____ administration and need to be given ____
orally and need to be given IV (systemically)
57
when is the only time vancomycin will be given by mouth
when treating for C.diff
58
vancomycin generally covers
gram positive
59
vancomycin is given to treat
``` MRSA pen allergies infxns C diff endocarditis, osteomyelitis surgical prophylaxis (allergy) ```
60
when would you give a low trough vs a high trough of vancomycin
depending on the site of infection youd choose a concentration i.e. IV vanco is systemic so when treating for bacteremia itll go directly into bloodstream so dont need high troughs vs meningitis or pneumonia, it needs higher troughs to penetrate those sites of infxns --- low trough when the MIC is low, high mic may need alternative theray
61
loading dose is given when...
to rapidly reach target trough
62
whats critical elimination for vancomycin
renal clearance
63
vancomycin has high toxicity where thus needs to be monitored?
otoxicity | nephrotoxicity
64
what can be a reaction when infusing vancomycin too quickly?
Red Man Syndrome
65
what is the trough for vancomycin
3-4 doses
