Antibacterials Flashcards
What are beta lactam agents
Penicillins
Cephalosporin
Cabepenams
Monbactams
Beta lactamase inhibitors
What are cell wall synthesis inhibitors
Beta lactam agents
Vancomycin
Teicoplanin
Name protein synthesis inhibitors
M- macrolids
A- aminoglycosides
T- tetracyclines
What are nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors
S sulphonamides
A azoles
Q quinolones
What’s mode of action of penicillin
It inhibits enzyme by penicillin binding proteins
So inhibit peptidoglycan cross linkages in cell wall
What’s type of action
Bactriocidal/ time dependent killer
How bacteria become resistant to penicillin
Formation of different structures of penicillin binding protein
Secrete beta lactamase enzyme break beta lactam ring
Why not oral benzyl penicillin is effective
Since benzylpenicillin oral destroy by gastric acid
T1/2 of penicillins
Less than 2h
How it dissolve to CDF
When meninges get inflamed it reaches to meninges
How renal clearance occur
Rapid clearance by renal tubular cells
How penicillin rapid renal clearance can stop
Probenecid reduces the renal clearance of penicillin
Do we need to reduce penicillin dose in severe renal impairment pts
Yes
What’s most prominent SE of Penicillin
It cause allergies
What are the types of allergies
Itching
Urticaria
Angiodema
How penicillin causes allergies
B lactam ring open and create penicillyol group bind tissue proteins form antigenic determinant
What’s cross allergies
Occur in all forms of penicillin due to similar form of structure
What type of allergies occur in cephalosporin and penicillin
Partial cross allergies
Apart from allergies what are other SE of penicillin
Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea
Neutropenia in more than ten days high doses
Hemolytic anaemia rarely
Flucloxacillin and Co amoxi high dose long duration for elders will cause what
Hepatic toxicity
What are two narrow spectrum penicillin
Benzyl penicillin
Anti Staphylococcal penicillin
What are narrow spectrum penicillins
Benzyl penicillin
Anti staphylococcal penicillin
T1/2 of benzylpenicillin
0.5h
How it should given
Penicillin G -spaced doses and to maintain therapeutic concentrations
How Benzylpenicillin eliminate
Kidney 80% active secretion at renal tubules
