MOA: PCN resistance?
Plasmids for beta-lactamase
What is the most common method of antibiotic resistance?
Transfer of plasmids
MOA: MRSA resistance?
Mutation of cell wall-binding protein
MOA: VRE resistance?
Mutation in cell wall-binding protein
MOA: Gentamicin resistance?
Modification of enzymes leading to a decrease in active transport of med into the bacteria
Peak and trough? Vancomycin
Peak 20-40ug/mL
Trough 5-10ug/mL
Peak and trough? Genatmicin
Peak 6-10ug/mL
Trough <1ug/mL
What do you do if the peak is too high?
Decrease amount of each dose
What do you do if the trough is too high?
Decrease frequency of dose
Increase time interval between doses
