ANTIBIOTICS Flashcards
goal for concentration dependent drug dosing
Cmax/MIC > or = 10-12
goal for time dependent drug dosing
time should be > MIC for 50-75% of dosing intervalEXCEPTION: Carbapenem may be 25-50% of dose interval because of rapid tidal activity
list rx based on bacterioSTATIC property
MOST protein synthesis/ribosome inhibitors–tetracyclines –phenicols–macrolides–lincosamidesSingle therapy folic acid inhibitors–sulfonamides–trimethoprim**accumulation in WBC/phagocytic cells may make them CIDAL
list rx based on bacterioCIDAL property
Cell wall inhibitors–B lactams (Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Carbapenems)–Glycopedtides (Vancomycin)DNA/RNA inhibitors–Fluorinated quinolones–Rifampin–MetronidazolePOTENTIATED folic acid sun inhibitors–TMSSOME protein synthesis inhibitors–Aminoglycosides–Macrolides–Lincosamides**accumulation in WBC/phagocytic cells may make them CIDAL
list concentration dependent drugs
–Fluorinated Quinolones–Aminoglycosides–Azithromycin (type of Macrolide)–Metronidazole
list of time dependent drugs
beta lactams (Penicillin, Cephalosporins, Carbapenems)glycopeptides (vancomycin)tetracyclinesmacrolides (EXCEPT azithromycin which is concentration dep)lincosamides
with the exception of concentration dependent drugs, which drugs have enhanced efficacy at higher doses
tetracyclinesmacrolideslincosamides
steps to avoid antimicrobial resistance
3 D’s1. de-escalate–don’t use Ab if you don’t have to2. design–make proper dosing regimes3. decontaminate–proper environmental safety and avoid exposure risks
general ways microbial resistance occurs within the bacT
inherent vs acquiredchromosomal mutations or transfer of genetic material outside of the chromosome( plasmid, bacteriophage-mediated)mechanisms:1. transposons– resistant genes that move back and forth btwn chromosome and plasmid2. conjugation–sexual transmission btwn bacT3. transduction–specific receptor transfers information via bacteriophage4. transformation–(human) naked DNA from previously lysed cell enters another bacT
Drugs that accumulate in phagocytic WBC
MacrolidesLincosamidesFluoroquinolonesRifampinSelective sulfonamidesdrug accumulation in WBC does not always = enhanced efficacy bc sometimes the drug is not released
drugs that do NOT accumulate in WBC
Beta lactamsAminoglycosidesMetronidazole
T/Flipid soluble drugs are more likely (than water soluble drugs) to move beyond extracellular fluid
TRUEand lipid soluble drugs should be used for infections that are more difficult to treat (ex. IC bacteria or tissues with barriers difficult to penetrate)
3 antimicrobial classes with good tissue penetration based on lipophilicity
FluoroquinolonesMacrolidesTMS combos
T/Fmost endotoxic release occurs with B lactams
TRUE least with amino glycosides (pg. 175)
B lactamMOA, Time vs Conc, Static vs Cidal, Spectrum
Cell wall inhibitor of PBP–transpeptidase–>perm–>lysisTIMECIDALMostly gm +Some gm - Some anaerobes(incr spectrum with incr generations of penicillins)(spectrum favors gm- with incr generation of ceph)
Types of B lactams
PenicillinsCephalosporinsCarbapenems
Mx of resistance for B lactams
- Beta lactamase production by bacT 2. Alteration in mecA gene (change in PBP)3. Efflux pumps4. Loss/Change in porins
Glycopeptide/VancomycinMOA, Time vs Conc, Static vs Cidal, Spectrum
Cell wall synthesis inhibitor and prevents elongation of cell wallTIMECIDALMostly gm + (Mainly used VRSA, VISA in humans)NO gm - Some anaerobes
AminoglycosidesMOA, Time vs Conc, Static vs Cidal, Spectrum
Inhibit binding of 30s ribosome to complete unit (70s)Concentration dependentCIDAL Mostly gm - NO anaerobes (O2 required!)some main gm + (staph not strep)do not get absorbed or penetrate well
Mx of resistance for aminoglycosides
Plasmid mediated 1. enzymatic destruction2. decreased cell entry3. altered ribosome structure
Side effects of aminoglycosides
Nephrotoxicity (tubular)OtotoxicityNM blockage
Types of anti-pseudomonal penicillins
TicarcillinPiperacillin(parenteral only)
