Initial resistance
When bacteria always has resistance
Developed resistance
When mutations occurs over time
Acquired resistance
When the mother cell passed on mutation to daughter cell
Vertical transmission.
Mother to child; random mutation that passed on as cell replicates
Horizontal transmission
The transfer of plasma DNA to other bacteria
Bacterial can pass on resistance to other species of bacteria through transfer of plasmids
Inhibition of DNA or RNA synthesis
Actinomycin Nucleotide Analogs Quinolone Rifampin
Inhibition of general metabolic pathway
Sulfonamides
Trimetgoprim
Adverse effects for Cephalosporins
GI upset including c.diff
Combo with alcohol : disulfiram
Allergies: cross sensitivity is 10% of those allergic to penicillin
Less crossover with higher generations
Not recommended in pts with anaphylactic reaction to penicillin
Cephalosporin contraindications
Extended half-life with renal and hepatic insufficiency
Alterations in clotting
Nephrotoxicity with renal insufficiency (decrease dose by 50% if GFR <10
Superinfection
Cephalosporin drug interactions
Probenecid Loop diuretics (increased nephrotoxicity risk)
Indication of use for Cephalosporins
Surgery prophylaxis Respiratory infection Strep, pharyngitis, sinusitis Community acquired pneumonia Skin Soft tissue Bones and joints UTI STDs
About Vanco (glycopeptide)
Narrow-spectrum against gram positive (bactericidal)
Can cause red man syndrome
Penetrates CSF
Glycopeptides (Vanco) adverse effects
Nephrotoxic
Transient ototoxicity
Hypersensitivity
Phlebitis at injection site
Pregnancy B
Glycopeptides (vanco)
Clinical indication
Second line for c.diff
Staph enterocolitis
Gram positive infections such as MRSA resistant to first line antibiotics
Synergistic when combined with Rifampin or Ceftriaxone
Penicillin/aminopenicillin sensitivity
Aminopenicillin best against gram negative GI pathogens, e.coli, salmonella, flu type B
Take on empty stomach
30m prior or 2 hours after: oral, ampicillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin
Penicillin/aminopenicillin indications
Acute otitis media Pharyngitis UTI (second line) STD treponema pallium PNA Augmentin H.pylori Bacterial endocarditis
Penicillin/aminopenicillin drug/drug interactions
Diuretics
Tetracyclines
Warfarin
Cephalosporin gen 1 use
Used for skin and soft tissue infections
Active against gram-positive
S.aureus and s.epidermidis
