PDA Block 3 Week 2 Flashcards
(96 cards)
Penicillin
Penicillin G and V Oxacillin Amipicillin, amoxicillin Ticarcillin Piperacillin
Penicillin
- Well distributed to most area of the body: low penetration into CSF but increases during Meningitis
- 30% hepatic metabolism
- mostly renal: 80% tubular anionic excretion
- Time dependent killing
- Adverse effect: Severe allergic reactions→ anaphylaxis (Pre-Pen for testing); Rash, diarrhea, enterocolitis, elevated liver enzymes, hemolytic anemia, seizures
Beta lactamase inhibitors
Clavulanic acid, tazobactam (beta-lactam analogs that bind irreversibly to beta-lactamase)
Cephalosporin
Cefazolin: 1
Cephalexin: 1
Cefuroxime: 2
Cefoxitin: 2
Ceftriaxone: 3
Ceftazidime: 3
Cefepime: 4
Penicillin G and V
Oral: Pen V and IV/IV= Pen G(poor Oral- not stable to Acid)
G+ Anaerobes: Clostridium (Not Bacterioides fragilis)
G+: Streptococcus
Limited G-: Some use in Neisseria meningitides
Spiochetes: Syphillis
Good activity against: anthrax, Listeria
Oxacillin
“methicillin like drug” Beta lactamase producing staphylococci
Amipicillin, amoxicillin
IV or oral
Amoxicillin: better after oral dose
Ampicillin: IV (for Neisseria, Listeria) and GI infections (keep more drugs in intestinal tract for Shigella infx)
G+ Beta-lactamase negative: listeria, Strep
G-: haemophilus, Neisseria, E. Coli, Salmonella
Amoxicillin: Alternate choice for Lyme disease
High dose amoxicillin is drug of choice for otitis media – Strep. Pneumo strains
Ticarcillin
Retain some G+ against Strep
Anaerobes: ticararillin +Clavulanate
G- to cover pseudomonas ( susceptibile to beta lactamase)
Piperacillin
G- including pseudomonas and Klebsiella, including those that are ticarcillin resistant)
Cefazolin
Longer half life (1-2 hrs)
Best G+ activity.
Surgical prophylaxis for skin flora
Cephalexin
Oral
Half life: 50 min
Mostly G+
Skin, bone/joint, UTI, respiratory, otitis media
Cefuroxime
- CSF penetration
Haemophilus
Not good against enterics (E. Coli) - Good tolerance to many gram negative beta lactamase
Cefoxitin
- Not for CNS
- Good for anaerobes (Bacteroides) Good tolerance to many G- beta lactamases
Ceftriaxone
- CSF, Long half life
- G-: Klebsiella, Enterobacter, proteus
Meningitis (Neiserria, S. pneumo, H. influenzae)
Only choice for gonorrhea
Ceftazidime
- CSF
- Good for some strains of Pseudomonas
Not great for Strep
Cefepime
- CSF
- Half life 2 hours
- G- with pseudomonas activity
- more resistant to type I beta-lactamases
- Better for G+ (Strep)
Cephalosporin
- Cell- wall agent
- Bactericidal
- Inhibit transpeptidases
(penicillin binding proteins or PBPs) which catalyze cell wall
crosslinks - B- lactam covalently binds to PBPs
- Time dependent killing
- Renal clearance
- Adverse reaction: allergic, N/V/D, enterocolitis, hepatocellular damage
Beta Lactams
-Cell wall agent
- Bactericidal
- Inhibit transpeptidases
(penicillin binding proteins or PBPs) which catalyze cell wall
crosslinks
Bacterial resistance to B- lactams
- Beta- lactamase: enzyme that cleaves beta-lactam ring
- altered PBP
- Beta-lactam agent cannot reach PBP
Imipenem
- Cell wall agent
- Broad spectrum: resistant to many beta lactamases including extended spectrum beta-lactamase
- Not for meningitis
- Not effective for MRSA, pseudomonads
- Ill defined infections
Adverse effects: - Hypersensitivity, some cross allergies with penicillins/cephalosporins
- Seizures, dizziness, confusion
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, colitis, superinfection
- Given with cilastatin: renal peptidase inhibitor
Aztreonam
- Used against G- aerobic rods (Haemophilus, Pseudomonas)
- Adverse: seizures, anaphylaxis, can affect heart= transient EKG changes, cramps, nausea
- No allergic cross-reactions with beta-lactams. Can be used in those with known hypersensitivities to penicillin
Vancomycin
- Bactericidal G+ only (serious infxn!) - Staph including MRSA - Strep. Pneumonia - Enterococcus (VRE) - Clostridium difficile enterocolitis ( don’t want to overuse)
Inhibits cell wall synthesis: binds to D-Ala-D-ala → interfers with crosslinking and elongation of peptidoglycan (transglycosylation)
- Red man or red neck syndrome: head and neck erythema
- Nephrotoxicity
- Phlebitis (infusion site)
- Ototoxicity
- Hypersensitivity
- Not absorbed → IV administration for systemic infections
- Primarily used in serious infection
- use oral for clostridium diff. enteroocolitis
-Cephalosporin tolerance strains: use vancomycin + 3rd gen cephalosporin
Fosfomycin
- Use: uncomplicated UTIs caused by E.coli, & Enterococcus.
- inhibits synthesis of peptidoglycan building blocks by inactivating enolpyruvyl transferase, (early cell wall synthesis enzyme)- new cell wall of dividing bacteria → rupture
- Adverse: headache, diarrhea, nausea, vaginitis
- Single dose effective for treating UTIs
Bacitracin
- Gram + Cocci and bacilli
- Mechanism: interferes with a cell wall synthesis by interfering with lipid carrier that exports early wall components through cell membranes
- Toxicity: allergic dermatitis
- Use: topical use only (very nephrotoxic)
