Antibacterials Flashcards
Time-dependent Killing
depends on time above MIC
Concentration-dependent Killing
depends on peak concentration
Killing dependent on concentration x time
depends on area under the curve
Penicillin G&V
B-Lactam Gram (+) and (-) Gram (+) anerobes NOT bacteroides fragilis Strep Syphilis
Oxacillin
B-Lactam
Tx- B-Lactamase staph
Ampicillin
B-Lactam
B-lacatamase (-) Gram (+)
Gram (-)
Less absorption (more in GI)
Ticarcillin
B-Lactam Broad Gram (-) Tx- Pseudomonas and anaerobes
Piperacillin
B-Lactam
Broad Gram (-)
Pseudomonas and Klebsiella
Ticarcillin resistant bacteria
Cefazolin
1st Gen Cephlosporin
Best for Gram +
surgical prophylaxis for skin flora
Cephalexin
1st Gen Cephlosporin
Gram (+)
Surgical prophylaxis for skin flora
Oral
cefuroxime
2nd Gen Cephlosporin more Gram (-) than 1st gen Less active against staph Penetrate CNS Best against Haemophilus
Cefoxtin
2nd Gen Cephlosporin
more Gram (-) than 1st gen
less active against staph
good for anaerobes including Bacteroides
Ceftriaxone
3rd Gen Cephlosporin
more Gram (-) than 2nd gen
Good for Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus
Tx- Gonorrhea and Meningitis
Ceftazidime
3rd Gen Cephlosporin
more Gram (-) than 2nd gen
Good for Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus
Cefepime
4th Gen Cephlosporin
more resistant to B-lactamases
tx serious infections
Imipenem
B-Lactam Broad spectrum Resistant to B-Lactamase and ESBL tx- mixed and severe infections Adverse effects- hypersensitivity and cross rxn with Penicillins
Aztreonam
B-Lactam Gram (-) aerobic rods NOT USED for Gram (+) or anaerobes resistant to some B-Lactamases not cross reactant with penicillin
Clavulanic Acid
B-lactamase inhibitors bind irriversably
