A

pseudomembranous colitis

30
Q

A patient allergic to penicillin is most likely to have a cross-allergy with?

A

Cephalosporin

Cephalosporin are penicillin like because both are bacteriocidal and interfere with cell wall synthesis

31
Q

What is the function of penicillinase?

A

It degrades the beta-lactam ring structureof penicillin

32
Q

A

Methicillin

Dicloxacillin

Nafcillin

Augmentin (amox +clauv)

Timentin (ticarcillin/clauvanate)

33
Q

Why is MRSA and VRA life threatening infections? What antibiotics typically kill MRSA/VRSA?

A

Because they are resistant to penicillinase resistant penicillins and most cephalosporins.

Tx: 5th generation cephalosporin (ceftaroline fosamil)

34
Q

Penicillins are typically great against what kind of bacteria?

A

Gram (+) bacteria

Able to inhibit terminal step in peptidoglycan synthesis

35
