Antibiotic Flashcards
how would you know an organism can make beta-lactams
if a pt had an ATB in the last 90 days and get sick again you should suspect an organism that can make beta lactam
gram positive Bugs
Staph
strep
Enterococcus
C-diff
gram negative bugs
Just above everything else that is not the 4-gram positive bugs
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Neisseria meningitidis
E coli, shigella, campylobacter, salmonella
Pasteurella
rickettsia, borrelia
proteus, pseudomonas, legionella, other
staphylococcus - gram positive bugs

Staph saprophyticus (UTI, vagina)
Staph epidermis (skin)
Streptococcus-gram positive bugs
strep pyogenes (throat)
strep pneumoniae (lungs)
strep viridans (dental abscess, endocarditis)
strep agalactiae (Group B strep)
Enterococcus-gram positive bugs
enterococcus faecallis -urinary tract
Enterococcus-faecium-urinary tract
C-diff
-listeria monocytogenes (listeriosis) outbreaks in food or ice cream
-corynebacterium diphtheriae (Diphtheria)
-Clostridium botulinum (Botulism)
-clostridium tetani (tetanus)

Empiric treatment
-difference between gram positive and negative
-Beta-lactam ring
what is beta-lactam
its an ATB with a beta-lactam ring
Any penicillin or cephalosporin
What are the rules for a pt with penicillin allergy
-Never give a cephalosporin if the patient PNC reaction was anaphylaxis
-Don’t give a cephalosporin if PNC reaction was Hives
Hives=IgE mediated
-GIVE a cephalosporin if PNC reaction was a morbilliform rash
Morbilliform rash
the rash is macular or maculopapular, lession are fixed, area expands over several days
-may itch
-more prevalent in children]
-more common with aminopenicillins (amox and ampicillin)
What happen when a pt who has mononucleosis is exposed to penicillin
Morbilliform rash
-T cell-mediated
-concurrent viral infection predispose pt to morbilliform rash
mononucleosis
Mono; Kissing disease; Glandular fever. Mononucleosis, or mono, is a viral infection that causes fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands, most often in the neck. Swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, fatigue and headache are some of the symptoms of mononucleosis, which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.
what is beta-lactamase
an enzyme that smart bacteria learn how to make
