Antibiotics 2 Flashcards
Antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis
- tetracyclines
- macrolides
- Clindamycin
- aminoglycosides
Antibiotics that inhibit folate synthesis
sulfonamides
antibiotics that disrupt DNA replication/cell division
Fluroquinolones
Antibiotics that work by inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis
Metronidazole
Identifying tetracylcines
ends with “cycline”
adverse effects of tetracyline
- GI upset: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
- cause C Diff
- photosensitivity
- yellow/brown discoloration of teeth
- superinfections
tetracyclines - w/ food or without?
food decrease GI upset BUT decreases absorption
-ideal w/o food
tetracycline and teeth
- do not give to children under 8/pre women
- -> tetracycline binds to calcium in developing teeth and is irreversible color change
Superinfection w/ tetracyclines
candidiasis, C Diff
tetracyclines food drug interaction
- Ca, Fe, Mg, Al – result in decrease drug absorption by 50%
- avoid anatacids, anti-diarrheal, dairy products
- take tetracyclines on empty stomach
macrolide function
inhibition of protein synthesis
macrolide prototype
erythromycin
identifying macrolides
end with “mycin”
ADR with erythromycin
- GI upset – increase GI motility
- can be used w/ diabetic gastroparesis or passing small bore feeding tubes into small instestine
beneficial use of GI upset of erythromycin
- GI upset – increase GI motility
- can be used w/ diabetic gastroparesis or passing small bore feeding tubes into small instestine
erythromycin drug drug interactions
- QT prolongation (Cardiac Death)
- CYP3A4 pathway (Ca channel blockers, antifungals, HIV protease inhibitors)
- Toxic levels w/ theophylline, carbamazepine, warfarin
Suprainfection
- C Diff
- Candidiasis
erythromycin dosing/route
- continuous infusion preferred over intermittent
- oral
Clindamycin fxn
inhibit protein synthesis
clindamycin and C Diff
- clindamycin can be fatal with C Diff
- if develop diarrhea on clindamycin, stop immediately
sxs of c diff
- profuse watery diarrhea
- abdominal pain
- fever
- leukocytosis
clindamycin infusion rate risks
(if give rapidly –> increase risk for cardiac death)
-IV,oral, topical
aminoglycosides fxn
inhibit protein synthesis by producing protein
- -> bacterialcidal
- BIG GUNS, stronger
aminoglycoside prototype
gentamicin
