A

Cefoxitin and cefotetan (cefo)

29
Q

How do 2nd gen cephalosporins compare to cephamycins?

A

Cefpodoxime, ceftibuten, cefdinir, cefixime, cefditoren, IV>Cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftizoxime, ceftazidime,

31
Q

Which 3rd gen ceph has activity against pseudomonas?

A

Ceftrazidime

32
Q

What is different from 3rd gen cephs compared to 2nd gen?

A

3rd gen- has better gram neg coverage, and covers spirochetes(borrielia, T.pallidum(syphilis))

33
Q

What does 4th gen ceph treat?

A

Nosocomial infections(pseudomonas) and febrile neutropenia

34
Q

What are the 5th gen cephs?

A

Ceftaroline fosamil and ceftaroline tazobactam

35
Q

What is updated about 5th gen cephs that is different from other cephs?

A

Covers MRSA and s.pneumoniae,

36
Q

Aztreonam covers?

A

Most gram negatives(pseudomonas included), no gram pos coverage

37
Q

What is ceph is comparable to aztreonam?

A

Ceftazidime(3rd gen), d/t similar side-chains, so has cross reactivity potential and similar gram neg coverage

38
Q

What do macrolides cover?

A

Strep, atypicals, whooping cough(pertussis), neisseria, H.flu,

39
Q

Of the macrolides, which one has the fewest drug interactions?

A

Azithromycin, whereas clarithromycin interacts with statins and erythromycin has most interactions

40
Q

When switching from IV to PO macrolides which do you choose?

A

Azithromycin(iv) to erythromycin(PO)

41
Q

Does ampicillin/sulbactam(unasyn) cover pseudomonas?

A

Nope, Zosyn(pipercillin/taxo), cefepime and primaxin (imipenem-cilastin) do though

42
Q

What ABX are considered to have a narrow spectrum of coverage?

A

Penicillin, oxacillin/nafcillin, cefazolin, cephalexin/cephradine, aztreonam,

43
Q

Penicillins: renal clearance EXCEPT?

A

Oxacillin and nafcillin

44
Q

Sulfonamides compete for albumin with:

A

Bilirrubin: given in 2°,3°T, high risk or indirect hyperBb and kernicterus in premies
Warfarin: increases toxicity: bleeding

45
Q

Beta-lactamase (penicinillase) Suceptible

A 
Natural Penicillins (G, V, F, K)
    Aminopenicillins (Amoxicillin, Ampicillin)
    Antipseudomonal Penicillins (Ticarcillin, Piperacillin)
46
Q

Beta-lactamase (penicinillase) Resistant:

A 
Oxacillin, Nafcillin, Dicloxacillin
    3°G, 4°G Cephalosporins
    Carbapenems 
    Monobactams
    Beta-lactamase inhibitors
47
Q

Penicillins enhanced with:

A

Clavulanic acid & Sulbactam (both are suicide inhibitors, they inhibit beta-lactamase)
Aminoglycosides (against enterococcus and psedomonas)

48
Q

Cephalosporines: renal clearance EXCEPT

A

Cefoperazone & Cefrtriaxone (bile)

49
Q

2°G Cephalosporines: none cross BBB except

A

Cefuroxime

50
Q

3°G Cephalosporines: all cross BBB except

A

Cefoperazone bc is highly highly lipid soluble, so is protein bound in plasma, therefore it doesn’t cross BBB.

51

Cephalosporines are “LAME“ bc they do not cover this organisms

A

L isteria monocytogenes
A typicals (Mycoplasma, Chlamydia)
M RSA (except Ceftaroline, 5°G)
E nterococci

52
Q

A 
C efotetan
    C efoperazone
    C hlorpropamide
    G riseofulvin
    M etronidazole
53
Q

Cefoperanzone: all the exceptions!!!

A

All 3°G cephalosporins cross the BBB except Cefoperazone.
All cephalosporins are renal cleared, except Cefoperazone.
Disulfiram-like effect

54
Q

Against Pseudomonas:

A

3°G Cef taz idime (taz taz taz taz)
4°G Cefepime, Cefpirome (not available in the USA)
