Antibiotics Flashcards
antibiotics work by
inhibiting a process in the bacterial cell such that the cell cannot function properly or is killed outright
what are the general adverse effects of aminoglycosides
nephrotoxicity ototoxicity vestibulotoxicity neuromuscular blockade narrow therapeutic index
aminoglycosides are bacterio____
cidal
aminoglycosides are used to treat
everything but streptococcus or obligate anaerobes
how are aminoglycosides absorbed?
poorly absorbed orally; rapidly IM or SQ
aminoglycosides concentrate in
inner ear perilymph and renal cortex tubule cells
are aminoglycosides water or lipid soluble
relatively water soluble; so doesnt go intracellularly
when are aminoglycosides illegal?
illegal if you cause a residue
how are aminoglycosides able to have extended elimination
they enter tubular cells in kidney and are released slowly from those cells
amikacin
long persistance of residue in renal tissue so dont give to food animals
NM blockade possible with anesthetics
gentamicin
only approved use in food animals is oral treatment in pigs for swine dysentery
other food animal use is prohibited
if given to cattle systemically, extended withdrawal times are required
neuromuscular toxicity
neomycin
some oral absorption in calves may cause alterations in microflora leading to diarrhea
dont inject
dont give to veal calves
dont use neomycin for more than
14 days
aminoglycoside MOA
acts on 30S ribosome affecting protein synthesis
when should you give neomycin orally
when you would want its effect in the git (poorly absorbed)
what is the MOA of fluoroquinolones
inhibit DNA synthesis by inhibiting DNA gyrase
general adverse effects and contraindications of fluoroquinolones
CNS toxicity especially with renal failure
Vomiting/nausea and diarrhea
arthropathy in young animals
use caution in animals prone to seizures (only seen in people)
fluoroquinolones are bacterio_____
static
fluoroquinolones spectrum
good for mycoplasma, and everything but strep and anearobes
fluoroquinolone legal issues
illegal to use extralabel in food animals, SR
can use for Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex
metabolism of fluoroquinolones
most eliminated via the kidney as parent drug (not enro)
elimination of fluoroquinolones
mainly via the urine
ciprofloxacin adverse effects
may cause enteritis and colic in horses;
enrofloxacin adverse effects/contraindications
retinal degeneration in cats
dont give to young dogs or foals
dont use in lactating dairy cattle or veal calves
is ciprofloxacin registered for use in animals
no
absorption of ciprofloxacin
10-50% in dogs, 10% in horses
absorption of enrofloxacin
70-80%
