Name the 4 quardrent drug combos
quinolone/ag + amoxi/PenG + metro (b. fragilis)
quinolone/ag + clinda/clavamox/unasyn/cefoxitin
What drug class has confirmed time dependent killing PG
beta lactams
What three drug classes have confirmed concentration dependent killing PG?
fluorquinolones, aminoglycosides, nitroimidozoles
Which classes of antibiotics are cidal?(5)
Beta lactams
fluorquinolones
aminoglycosides
TMS
metro
Which classes of antibiotics are static?
Tetracyclines
Macrolides
Licosamides
Phenicols
Sulfas (alone)
True/False: there is no big difference between static and cidal action?
true, except with immunocompromised animals or bacterial menengitis
Which classes of antibiotics are still active in purulent debris(6)
Fluorquinolones
Macrolides
Licosamides
phenicols
Tetracyclines

What drugs/classes can penetrate the prostate?(7)
Chloramphenicol
Fluorquinolones
TMS
Doxy
Macrolides
Licosamides
3rd gen cephalosporins but we save!
Which drugs/classes can cross the BBB(5)
Chloramphenicol
Fluorquinolones
TMS
Doxy
Imipenim
What drug class can cross the BBB but only with inflammation?
licosamides
What is the MoA for beta lactams
prevents cross linking of the peptidoglycan wall
What are the two main mechanisms of resistance in beta lactams
-betalactamases
-alteration of the penicillin binding protein (chromosomal mutation of MRSA/MRSP infections)
True/False: you could used a potentiated beta lactam to get around the resistance present in MRSA/MRSP infection
false! because that resistance is based in the penicillin binding protein not the betalactamases
What is the injectable from of potentiated beta lactam?
Unasyn
What is the oral potentiated beta lactam drug
clavamox (amoxi/clav)
What are the three classifications of cephalosporns? what important drugs are in each
Gen 1 - cefazolin, cephalexin
Gen 2- cefoxitin
Gen 3 - vet drugs (cefpodoxime, ceftiofur, cefovecin [convenia]
When would you use a first gen cephalosporin?
gram + coverage
cefazolin: pre-op profolax
cephalexin: pyoderma
What class is cefoxitin? what is special about it?
cephalosporin/beta lactam
it is a four quad single agent
What class of drugs is drug of choice for bacterial meningitis
third gen cephalospornsW
What drug is considered the 1st and 2nd tier drug for pyoderma in dogs and soft tissue infections?
cefpodoxime
What is the only injectable formula of ceftiofur?
naxcel
What group of drugs has the broadest spectrum of activity of any antiicrobial
carbapenems
What is the MoA of fluoroquinolones?
inhibits DNA gyrase (preventing cell replication)
What is the main mechanism of resistance of the quinolones?
alteration of the target (chromosomal resistance)
What are the four most common quinolones?
Enrofloxicin
Orbofloxicin
Marbofloxacin
Pradofloxicin
Which quinolone is the only 4 quad single agent?
pradofloxicin
What agents would you use quinolones against?
gram neg and staph
What are the two special spectra for quinolones
mycoplasma and mycobacteria
What are the 3 adverse rxns of the quinolones
Enro: seizures @ high doses
retintoxicity in cats
Arthropathy is dose/species dependent
