Antibiotics Flashcards
Pencillinase-resistant penicillins:
What does it treat?
What is it particularly good against?
Penicillinase producing gram positive cocci
Staphlococcus
Aminopenicllins:
What does it treat?
What are examples?
Broad spectrum - gram + and gram -
Ampicillin, amoxicillin
Extended stpectrum penicillins:
What does it treat?
What is it particularly good against?
Give examples
Gram positive, additional gram (-) activity than other penicillins
Good against pseudomonas
Ex: ticarcillin, piperacillin
Potentiated penicillins:
What does it work against?
Give examples
Works against beta-lactamases
Clavamox, timentin
What species should penicillins never be used in?
Why?
Rodents and lagomorphs
Elimination of gram positive gut flora can lead to fatal colibacillosis
Cephalosporins
What does it treat?
Beta-lactams, gram (+) and gram (-), anaerobes
Bactericidal
1st generation cephalopsorins
What does it treat?
examples
Most gram (+); bad against gram (-) Cefazolin and Cephalexin
2nd generation cephalosporins
Not very popular
Gram + activity, expanded gram(-) activity
3rd generation cephalosporins
Examples
What disease is it good for?
Gram (+) activity; expanded gram (-) activity
Ceftiofur
BVD - no withdawal time
Aminoglycosides What does it treat? What is it particularly good against? Give examples What toxicity do you need to watch for?
Primary gram (-) aerobes, some gram positive: bactericidal Pseudomonas, staphylococcus, atypical mycobacterium (nocardia/actinomyces)
Ex: gentamicin, neomycin
Toxic: nephrotoxic, ototoxic
Fluoroquinolones
What does it treat
What is it particularly good against?
Contraindicated in what instance?
Good gram (-) aerobes, facultative anaerobes
Atypical mycobacterium, chlamydia, mycoplasma, erhlichia, BRD
Enrofloxacin, ciproflacin
Contraindicated: in puppies bc it causes cartilage defects
Sulfonamides
What does it treat?
Side effects?
Gram positives, easy gram (-), anaerobes
Nocardia, actinomyces
Most drug side effects: allergic rxn, hepatotoxic, KCS, hypoT, crystalluria, anemia, bone marrow toxicity
Tetracyclines What does it treat What is it particularly good against? What are some examples What are side effects?
Treats gram (+), easy gram (-)
Mycoplasma, spirochetes, chlamydia, rickettsia, hemobartonella, brucella
Ex: oxytetracycline, tetracycline, doxycline
Doxycycline: stains teeth enamel in puppies
Chloramphenicol: causes aplastic anemia in humans
Lincosamides:
What does it treat?
Contraindications?
Gram positive aerobes, anaerobes
Contraindicated in rabbits, rodents, horses, and ruminants
Macrolides
What does it treat against?
What are some specific examples of drugs and their bugs?
Toxicity
Gram (+), select gram (-) Great for pulmonary infections Erythromycin - rhodococcus equi (in combo w/ rifampin) Tilmicosin - BRD Toxicity: in primates, horses and swine
Metronidazole
What does it treat?
Bactericidal and antiprotozoal
Immunomodulator in IBF
Rifampin
When is it used?
Used to treat rhodococcus equi in combo with erythromycin
What type of bacteria is most often found in septic peritonitis?
Mixed + anerobes
E. Coli is VERY common
What abx should be used for septic peritonitis?
Penicillin (potentiated) + fluoroquinolone or 3rd generation cephalorporin
What abx should be used for GI disease?
Abx is rarely indicated for GI disease
If hemorrhagic, consider treating for clostridia with metronidazole
If severe GI disease, could be salmonella - use fluoroquinolone
What abx should be used for parvo? Why?
Aminoglycosides - they are drug of chioce for neutropenic sepsis (amikacin)
what bug is most commonly found in Urinary tract infections?
What should you treat it with?
E. Coli #1 agent
Most things - 1st generation cephalosporin (cefazolin, cephalexin) or pencillin
What should be used in complex cystitis (UTI + sick)?
Broader spectrum antimicrobial like a potentiated penicillin (clavamox) or a penicillin + fluoroquinolone)
Aminoglycoside can also be used but NOT if patient has kidney disease
What should be used in AKI with pyelonephritis?
If no previous antimicrobial - potentiated penicillin or penicillin + flouroquinolone
If hx of previous drug use, use potentiated penicillin + chloramphenicol
If in lepto endemic area - use a penicillin or doxycycline
