antibacteria Flashcards
Example where vit K deficiency can result from
Administration and pharmacological action of the oral anticoagulation warfarin sodium
What does the warfarin sodium do the vit K
Inhibit vit K dependent clotting factor
what vit K can be used
reverse effect of the warfarin sodium
what cautions should you take if you use Vit k with patient how is taking warfarin sodium
It is important to note the patient become unresponsive to warfarin sodium for about 1 week after K is administrated
What can happen if Vit K 1 is reduced?
it can lead to inadequate mineralization of the bone due to diminished functioning osteocalcin.
the greater deficiency in vitamin K, the greater severity of the
fracture
The adverse effect of Vit K
relatively non-toxic
hypersensitivity
anaphylaxis from IV administration
What can happen to newborn with toxicity of vit k
Hemolysis of RBC especially in infants with low levels of glucose -6-phosphate dehydrogenase G6PD
What are beta-lactamase inhibitors
They make antibiotics more powerful against beta-lactamase producing bacterial strain
antimicrobial stewardship
An institutional activity includes ensuring appropriate selection, dosing, choice of route and duration of antimicrobial therapy
What is aim of the antimicrobial stewardship
Limit the emergence and transmission of antimicrobial resistant bacteria
What do beta-lactamase enzymes of bacteria do?
The enzyme can break the chemical bond between carbon and nitrogen in the structure of the beta-lactam ring causing beta-lactam drug lose their efficiency
What are the 4 most common mechanisms of antibiotic actions?
- interference with bacterial wall synthesis
- interference with protein synthesis
- interference with the replication of nucleic acid
- DNA and RNA
ANTIMETABOLITE ACTION THAT DISRUPTS CRITICAL METABOLIC REACTIONS INSIDE THE BACTERIAL WALL
what should you do if the patients has pseudomembranous colitis
dont give them the antidiarrhea the bacteria needs to get out
Symptoms of C. difficle
watery diarrhea
abdominal pain
fever
