Antibiotics Flashcards
prophylactic Ab use
20-30min prior to incision (to prevent bacteria that were on the animals skin)
Killing pattern
time v. concentration dependent
Concentration dependent
concentrates in tissues, can give longer dosing intervals.
minimum concentration in SERUM to have effect… (Aminoglycosides(gentamycin&amikacin), Fluoroquinolones(enrofloxacin, Marbofloxacin), Metronidazole)
time dependent
serum concentration must stay above minimum bacteriacidal levels between dosing intervals
- w/o persistent effects: B lactams (penicillin, cephalosporin)
- w/ persistent effects: (Lincosamides(lincomycin), Macrolides(clindamycin, azithromycin, tylosin), Tetracyclines(oxytetraclin, doxycyclin)
time dependent
serum concentration must stay above minimum bacteriacidal levels between dosing intervals
- w/o persistent effects: B lactams (penicillin, cephalosporin)
- w/ persistent effects: (Lincosamides(clindamycin), Macrolides(azithromycin, tylosin), Tetracyclines(oxytetraclin, doxycyclin)
Beta Lactams
Penicillins, Cephalosporins
+,-,ana
Cell wall synthesis inhibitors
penicillin, cephalosporin, vancomycin
+,-,Ana
inhibition of protein synthesis (30 or 50s)
Chloramphenicol, tetracyclin, clindamycin
inhibition of protein synthesis (30s) Aminoglycosides
gentamycin, amikacin
inhibition of protein synthesis (30s) Aminoglycosides
gentamycin, amikacin
Aminoglycosides: G-
Antimetabolites
Trimethoprim, sulfonamides
Antimetabolites
Trimethoprim, sulfonamides
+,-
cystitis/UTI
mainly gram negative aerobes - clavamox
Large GI
E.coli and anaerobes in heavy numbers
Large GI
E.coli and anaerobes in heavy numbers
Gentamycin only good for e. coli, prefer 3rd generation cephalosporin
MIC
minimal inhibitory concentration
results of MIC
susceptible, intermediate sensitive, resistant
step 2 in MIC gives
minimal bacteriocidal concentrations
Metronidazole
Quinolones
tetracyclins
lyncosamides
Metronidazole - Ana
Quinolones - G-
tetracyclins - G+, some G-
lyncosamides - G+, Ana
What is the most important mechanism of bacterial resistance?
plasmids!
Food animal antibiotic use has the risk of
antibiotic resistant strains in the humans that eat the meat
- avoiding antibiotics for viral infections
- using culture/sensitivity
- using the correct dose/frequency/route
- avoiding using the newest abx
All help to do what?
Slow the resistance process
beta lactams are all
bacteriocidal
