Anti-Cell Wall/Membrane Agents Flashcards
what is the #1 thing to consider before prescribing abx?
do we need them?
what is the 1st line abx family
B-lactams
what abx do ID professionals hate
FQ
macrolides
when do we use macrolides or FQ?
pts who can’t have B-lactams
killing specific microbes
when specific Pk/Pd properties are vital
what does azirthromycin kill?
mycoplasma (no cell wall)
what does ciprofloxacin kill?
salmonella (intracellular)
what are the 4 PO PCNs?
PCN VK
Dicloxacillin
Amoxicillin
Augmentin (amox/clav)
what are the 5 IV PCNs?
PCN G Naficillin Ampicillin Amp/Sulbactam Pip/Tazo
what PCN’s kill staph
dicloxacillin
Naficillin
what PCN’s are aminopenicillins
amoxicillin
ampicillin
what PCN’s are natural
PCN VK
PCN G
what is the MOA of penicillins?
STOP cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins
what needs to be occurring for PCN’s to work?
bacteria need to actively divide
what are the 3 mechanisms of resistance of B-lactams?
- destruction of abx by B-lactamases
- failure of abx to penetrate to PBP target
- low affinity binding of abx to PBP (bug mutates to stay hidden)
what are the pharmacology characteristics of B-lactams?
renal excretion
time-dependent killing
bactericidal
what coverage do PCNs have?
natural PCN and anti-staph= good gram +
as you increase in generation–lose g+ and gain g -
ADR’s to PCN’s in general
hypersensitivity drug fever phlebitis (naf) AIN (naf) hypokalemia (naf)
what PCN compound causes diarrhea and hepatotoxicity?
clavulanate
