Q

syphillis

A

treponema pallidum - spriochaete

17
Q

beta lactam antibiotics

A
  • pencillin
  • cephalosporins
  • carbapenems

Bacteria often develop resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics by synthesizing a beta-lactamase. To overcome this resistance, beta-lactam antibiotics are given with beta-lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic acid

18
Q

penicillins

A
  • penicillin - narrow spectrum (positive)
  • amoxcillin and co-amoxiclav (negative and positive)
  • temocillin (negative)
19
Q

side effects of ciprfloxacin

A

tendonitis

20
Q

gram negative cover

A

gentamicin

aztreonam if contraindicated

21
Q

anaerobic cover

A

metronidazole

22
Q

C diff causing ABx

A
  • Ciprofloxacin (fluoroquinolones), Clindamycin, Cephalosporins (Ceftriaxone) and Co-Amoxiclav kill off the normal gut bacteria and allow the overgrowth of C. Diff, which causes a nasty gastroenteritis
23
Q

non/lactose fermenter Enterobacteriaceae

A

lactose fermenter:

  • E coli,Klebsiella, Enterobacter

non-lactose:

  • salmonella, proteus
