ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS (PART 1) Flashcards
kills bacteria, without host defense mechanisms
bactericidal
inhibits microbial growth, requires hosts defense mech, does not kill bacteria
bacteriostatic
minimum inhibitory concentration
lowest concentration needed for inhibiting growth
- targets the cell wall of the organism
- selectively interfere with the synthesis of the cell wall
beta-lactam antibiotics
- binds to PBPs
- inhibition of transpeptidases
- production of autolysin
penicillin
classification of penicillin:
pen g - IV
pen v - ORAL
narrow spectrum
classification of penicillin:
nafcillin

cloxacillin
dicloxacillin
very narrow spectrum
classification of penicillin:
ampicillin
amoxicillin
extended spectrum
classification of penicillin:
sulbenicillin
carbenicillin
ticarcillin
piperacillin
antipseudomonal
classification of penicillin:
targets gram-positive except:
- penicillinase prod. bacteria
- meningo
- spirochetes
- anaerobic
narrow spectrum
dose for syphilis
PEN G
2.4 million units IM - single dose
prophylaxis for rheumatoid fever
PEN V
2500 mg - PO BID

extended spectrum
dosage for cellulitis (extended)
AMOXICILLIN
500 mg - TID
most important adverse reaction of penicillin
hypersensitivity
all adverse reactions of penicillin
HDN-NHC
hypersensitivity
diarrhea
nephritis
neurotoxicity
hematologic toxicities
cation toxicity
nursing implication for penicillin:
carefully monitor for at least ___ minutes after administration
30
nursing implication for penicillin:
oral penicillin effectiveness is decreased when taken with?
- caffeine
- citrus fruit
- cola beverages
- fruit juices
- tomato juice
- similar to penicillin in structure
- 7 aminocephalo-sporanic acid
- more stable to may bacterial betalactamases
- broader spectrum
- 5 generations
- less susceptible to penicillinases
cephalosporins
what generation of cephalosporins:
- cefazolin
- cephalexin
1st gen
what generation of cephalosporins:
- cefoxitin
- cefaclor
- cefuroxime
2nd gen
what generation of cephalosporins:
- ceftriaxone
- ceftazidime
- cefixime
3rd gen
what generation of cephalosporins:
cefepime
cefpirome
4th gen
what generation of cephalosporins:
ceftobiprole
ceftaroline fosamil
5th gen
what generation of cephalosporins:
targets gram positive cocci, inclu penicillin resistant s. aureus, except:
- MRSA
- MRSE
also targets SOME gram negative bacili
- e coli
- k. pneumonia
- p. mirabilis
1st gen
prophylaxis for cardio and general surgeries
CEFAZOLIN
1-2g IV - single dose pre-op
dosage for respiratory infections
CEPHALEXIN
250 mg - PO q6
what generation of cephalosporins:
improves activity against:
- h. influenza
- m. catarrhalis
- n. meningitids
- n. gonorrhea
enahnced against staphy, non entero, and some entobacteriaceae
2nd gen
prophylaxis for non perforated appendicits
CEFOXITIN
1-2g IV - pre-op
dosage for pharyngitis or tonsillitis
CEFUROXIME
250 mg - PO Q12 for 10 days
common adverse reaction of cephalosporin
allergic manifestations
adverse reaction of cephalotin (cephalosporin)
nephrotoxicity (high doses = acute tubular necrosis)
adverse reaction of cefamandole, cefotetan, cefoperazone (cephalosporin)
disulfram-like reactions (similar to when alcohol is taken)
nursing implications for cephalosporin
orally administered should be given (before / after) meals to decrease GI upset
after
- 5 member ring system
- different from penicillin by being saturated and containing a CARBON atom, instead of sulfur
- broad spectrum
- drug of choice for enterobacter infections (resistant to beta lactamase)
carbapenems
- interact with PBPs, induces formation of long, filamentous bacterial structure
- extremely resistant to beta lactamases
monobactam
