Q

Why are G(-) bacteria more resistant to Penicillin?

A

Outer membrane protects the peptidoglycan layer, secrete B-lactamases in the periplasma space protecting the transpeptidases

Q

Type I HSN rxns involve

A

IgE production, binding of IgE to mast cells & basophils, antigen causes cross-linking of IgE Fc on mast cells (activation), release of histamine & vasoactive mediators -> vasodilation & vascular permeability & SM relaxation at periphery, SM constriction of bronchus/GI

25
Hyposensitizing Method to avoid Type I HSN
production of IgG blocking Abs that remove antigen before it binds IgE, switch from Th2 to Th1
26
Desensitization Method to avoid Type I HSN
Begin w/ small doses & increase over hours, this slowly induces mast cell degranulation to avoid a lethal rxn
27
Contact dermatitis is an example of a Type ___ HSN rxn
IV
28
interstitial nephritis is an example of a Type ___ HSN rxn
IV
29
Drug fever is an example of a Type ___ HSN rxn
IV
30
Type II HSN rxn involves
Immune complexes (Ag-IgG), IC deposition, C5a & C3a production -> vascular permeability, neutrophils attempt to phagocytize ICs & release inflammatory substances -> retarded BF, thrombi, rupture of vessel wall, hemorrhage, necrosis
31
Hemolytic anemia is an example of a Type ___ HSN rxn
II
32
Which penicillin is the most common cause of acute allergic interstitial nephritis & is no longer on the market?
Methicillin
33
Skin testing can detect Type ____ HSN
Type I
34
Pre-Pen
Skin testing; analogue of the major antigenic determinant (Benzylpenicilloyl)
35
Which penicillins may cause non-allergic rashes?
Ampicillin & Amoxicillin
36
Which penicillin's absorption is least affected by food?
Amoxicillin
37
Ampicillin & Amoxicillin have an extended spectrum of coverage that includes
HELPSS ME: H. influenzae, E. coli, Listeria, Proteus, Salmonella, Strep (pyogenes & pneumo), Moraxella, Enterococcus
38
Why do Ampicillin & Amoxicillin have an extended spectrum of coverage
better penetration into the G(-) Outer Membrane
39
Which penicillins cause decreased efficacy to oral contraceptive?
Ampicillin & Amoxicillin
40
Broadest spectrum penicillin?
Imipenem
41
AOM - most likely agents
strep pneumo, hib, moraxella catarrhalis
42
Which bacteria may alter its porin channels or actively efflux penicillin?
P. aeruginosa
43
if creatinine clearance is <10 mL/min give dose adjust penicillin by administering
1/4 to 1/3 of normal dose
44
Which drugs would you need to adjust dosage for in liver failure pts?
Nafcillin & Oxacillin
45
If pt has renal impairment & the dose is not adjusted, what outcomes may result?
Seizures (CNS toxicity)
46
If pt requires Penicillin (as in Syphilis) how can we provide them Tx?
Desensitize (low dose, increase every 15-20m)
47
During a desensitization protocol make sure to have wha on hand?
Epinephrine in case of a severe Type I Rxn
48
AOM caused by S. pneumo may acquire resistance d/t
