Antibiotics Flashcards
Name 4 Penicillins
-“cillin”
Penicillin G (IM)
Penicillin V (PO)
Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin/Clavulanate
Penicillin MOA
Binds to PBPs, inhibiting cell wall synthesis leading to cell lysis and death.
Penicillin common side effects
Diarrhea, nausea, allergy
Penicillin Black-Box Warnings
ONLY FOR AMOX/CLAV: Hepatotoxicity
Penicillin ADRs
Anaphylaxis, Stevens-Johnsons
PNC: Cidal or Static
Cidal
Name 2 First Gen Cephalosporins
Cephalexin
Cefazolin (IM/IV)
Name 1 Second Gen Cephalosporin
Cefuroxime
Name 3 Third Gen Cephalosporins
“Cef”-
Cefdinir
Cefpodoxime
Ceftriaxone (IM/IV)
MOA of Cephalosporins
Inhibit cell wall synthesis by binding to PBPs
Differences between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gen Cephalosporins
Gram-Positive Coverage: Decreases from 1st to 3rd generation.
Gram-Negative Coverage: Increases from 1st to 3rd generation.
Anaerobic Coverage: Mainly in some 2nd generation cephalosporins.
Are cephalosporins bactericidal or bacteriostatic?
Bactericidal
Common SE of cephalosporins
N/V/D, Allergic reactions,
BBW of Cephalosporins
ONLY for Ceftriaxone: Biliary Sludging
ADRs of Cephalosporins
Allergic reactions, Nephritis, Hepatitis
Name 2 Fluoroquinolones
-“floxacin”
Ciprofloxacin
Levofloxacin
Fluoroquinolones special considerations
Dairy products/antacids interfere w/ GI absorption
MOA of fluoroquinolones
Fluoroquinolones cause breaks in the bacterial DNA, disrupting DNA replication by inhibiting bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
SE of fluoroquinolones
N/V/D, Dizziness, Headache
BBW of fluoroquinolones
Tendonitis, Tendon rupture
ADRs of fluoroquinolones
Tendon rupture, QT prolongation
Name 3 Macrolides
-“mycin”
Azithromycin
Erythromycin
Clarithromycin
Erythromycin/Clarithromycin special considerations
Both strong inhibitors of CYP enzymes, many DDI. HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors (Statins) should be stopped d/t risk of severe myopathy and/or rhabdo
MOA of Macrolides
Bind to 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, inhibiting protein synthesis for growth and reproduction.
SE of Macrolides
N/V/D, Abd pain
BBW of macrolides
ONLY Clarithromycin: Hepatotoxicity
ADRs of macrolides
QT Prolongation, Hepatotoxicity
Macrolides: Bacteriostatic or Bactericidal?
Bacteriostatic
Clindamycin MOA
Bind to 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, inhibiting protein synthesis for growth and reproduction.
SE of clindamycin
N/D, Rash
BBW of clindamycin
Colitis
ADRs of clindamycin
Increased risk of C. diff infection
Name 1 Oxazolidinone
Linezolid
MOA of Linezolid
Bind to bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing formation of a functional 70S initiation complex. This prevents the early stages of protein synthesis.
