Antibacterials Flashcards
Basics on antibacterial drugs
Cell wall formation drugs ? What are they?
Penicillins
Cephalosporins
B lactamase inhibitors
Bacitracin
Penicillins
Weak acid-inhibits trnspeptidase rxn Bactercidsl and bacteriolytic, 3 different types penicillin G and V -gram positive bacteria Ampicillin- broad spectrum. Carbenicillin - sp pseudomonas.
Carbenicillin
Pseudomonas
First line antimicrobials
Penicillins.
Not given iv orally
Horses? Penicillin
Can cause pseudo anaphylactic shock.
Procaine penicillin
Long acting 1
Penicillin G - benzyl penicillin
Natural penicillin
Penicillin V
Biosynthetic phenooxymethly penicllin
Cephalosporins mechanism
Act on the cell wall just like penicillin inhibits the transpeptidase action
Cephalosporins have 1st and 3rd generation as well as 4th generation.?
Gram positive 1st and 3rd generation
4th generation - broad spectrum
alternative first line antimicrobial fro dogs and cats .
Cephalosporins.
Adverse reactions with cephalosporins?
Got intolerance
Injection site reactions
thromboohelbitis
Names of cephalosporins
Cefovecin
cephalexin
Cetiofur
Fucn fact
Cephalosporins are more stable that penicillin
B-lactamase inhibitor mechanism?
Splits b lactam ring to produce inactive metabolites .
And used in combination with amoxicillin to iver come b lactamase inhibitors
Examples of names of b lactamase inhibitors?
Clavilanic acid
Sublactam
Bacitracin action?
Bactericidal
Bacitracin
Narrow spectrum
Gram positive aerobic and anaerobic
Bacitracin
Narrow spectrum
Gram positive aerobic and anaerobic
Clinical action of bacitracin
Feed additive
Penicillin resistance
Adverse reaction of bacitracin
Nephrotoxic parenteral and no absorption
No absorption
Cell membrane function
Polymyxins
