Q

concentration dependent killing

  • higher concentrations result in?
  • efficacy correlates with?
  • ex:?
A
  • higher concentrations result in more rapid, complete cell kill; DECREASED RESISTANCE
  • efficacy correlates with PEAK:MIC
  • ex: aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, lipopeptides (daptomycin)

more is better!
time to kill is quicker
MIC = minimum inhibitor concentration

this has bearing on dosing - for ex. aminoglycosides are once a day

Q

time-dependent (concentration independent) killing

  • saturation of killing occurs at..?
  • efficacy correlates with?
  • ex:?
A
  • saturation of killing occurs at low multiples of MIC (4-8 X MIC)
  • efficacy correlates with: Time above MIC (T>MIC), AUC:MIC
  • Ex: beta-lactams (T>MIC for 50% of dosing interval); vancomysin - glycopeptides, most protein inhibitors

MIC = minimum inhibitory concentration

    - high-tone loss, tinnitus, not reversible

use?
toxicity?

A

inactivated by pulmonary surfactant - not for pneumonia
use - alt to vanco
toxicity - myopathy (CPK lvls)

58
Q

cell membrane inhibitor - polymyxins (polymixin B, E [colistin])

chemistry?
MoA?
type of killing?

A

chem - cationic, base proteins that act like detergents

moA - binds with the anionic LPS molecules by displacing Ca+, Mg2+ from the other men of GRAM NEGATIVE bacteria, leading to permeability changes, leakage, cell death

bactericidal, concentration dependent

59
Q

cell membrane inhibitor - polymyxins (polymixin B, E [colistin])

spectrum?
use?
adverse effects (2)?
note?

A
