Antibiotics Flashcards
MOA: Penicillins
- interfere with PBP to inhibit cell wall synthesis
Resistance: Penicillins
- beta lactamases
- altering porins
- altering PBP
- penicillin efflux pumps
Adverse Rxns: Penicillins
- hypersensitivity
- N/V/D with high doses
What antibiotic class? Methicillin Nafcillin Oxacilin Dicloxacillin
Penicillinase-Resistant Penicillins
MOA: Aminopenicillins
- increased binding affinity to PBP
- increased penetration through outer membrane of Gram negative organisms
What antibiotic class?
Ampicillin
Amoxicillin
Aminopenicillins
MOA: Antipseudomonal Penicillins
- interfere with PBP
- often combined with B-lactamase inhibitor Tazobactam
- broadest spectrum penicillin
MOA: Cephalosporins
- interfere with PBP
Resistance: Cephalosporins
- beta-lactamases
- altering porins
- altering PBP
- cephalosporin efflux pump
compare general penicillins to aminopenicillins
- aminopenicillins have better gram negative coverage, greater binding affinity to PBP, and greater penetration through outer membrane of gram negatives
- also aminopenicillins are often paired with beta lactamase inhibitor
Adverse Rxns: Cephalosporins
- type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
Organisms covered by Gen. 1 Cephalosporins
PEK
P: Proteus mirabilis
E: E. coli
K: Klebsiella
- also gram (+) cocci
Organisms covered by Gen. 2 Cephalosporins
HENS PEK H: H. influenzae E: Enterobacter N: Neisseria S: Serratia
P: Proteus mirabilis
E: E. coli
K: Klebsiella
What are Gen. 3 Cephalosporins used to treat
serious gram negative infections
What cephalosporin is the first line for meningitis
Ceftriaxone
Adverse Rxns: Ceftriaxone
- jaundice in neonates
- biliary pseudolithiasis (gallstones)
What important bacterium is covered by Gen. 4 Cephalosporins
P. aeruginosa
What important bacteria are covered by Gen. 5 Cephalosporins
MRSA
P. aeruginosa
What antibiotic class?
Piperacillin
Antipseudomonal Penicillins
What antibiotic class?
Cefazolin
Cephalexin

Gen. 3 Cephalosporins
What antibiotic class?
Cefepime
Gen. 4 Cephalosporins
What antibiotic class?
Ceftaroline fasamil
Ceftolozane
Gen. 5 Cephalosporins
What antibiotic class? Imipenem Meropenem Doripenem Ertapenem
Carbapenems
MOA: Carbapenems
- inhibit PBP
- can penetrate Gram negative bacteria
Resistance: Carbapenems
- carbapenemases
- gram neg bacteria shrink down porin channels so it can’t fit through
Adverse Rxns: Carbapenems
(most often with Imipenem)
- reactions at infusion site
- rash
- N/V/D
- renal failure
- seizures
What is required for use of Imipenem
combination with renal dipeptidase inhibitor (Celastin)
MOA: Monobactams
- inhibits PBP
Adverse Rxns: Monobactams
- increases serum aminotransferases
- skin rashes
Monobactams are used against what organisms
- only gram negative
- only aerobes
