[3S] Aminoglycosides & Spectinomycin Flashcards
Aminoglycosides Excretion
Urine, with small portions of oral administrations excreted through feces
PKINETICS
● Limited tissue penetration (esp. BBB/eyes)
● Poorly absorbed orally
● Excretion is directly proportional to creatine clearance
All aminoglycosides
Gentamicin ROA
IV, IM, Topical, Ocular, Intrathecal
MOA
● Bactericidal (irreversible)
● Passive via porins
● Active via oxygen-dependent process
● Bind to 30S:
o Blocks initiation complex
o Misread mRNA
o Inhibit mRNA translocation
All aminoglycosides & spectinomycin
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
● Gr(+) bacteria
● Gr(-) bacteria
o E. coli, Klebsiella, Providencia, Serratia, Enterobacter, Proteus, Pseudomonas
● Staphylococci
● E. faecialis
