Q

what are the principles of Antimicrobial Therapy

A

Identification of pathogen
–>acid fast stain
Susceptibility testing and resistance
–>put antibodies in bacteria cultures and see which one is the best at eliminating the bacteria

Q

What are the Four common mechanisms of action of antibiotics

A
  1. Interference with cell wall synthesis
  2. Interference with protein synthesis
  3. Interference with DNA replication
  4. Acting as a metabolite to disrupt critical metabolic reactions inside the bacterial cell

Q

characteristic of Beta-Lactam Antibiotics

A
  • Broad & most commonly used class of antibiotics
  • has a B-lactam ring as the primary structure
  • bactericidal
  • Chemical manipulation of the side chain led to new agents with advanced spectrum of antimicrobial activity

Q

What is the Mechanism of Action of penicillins

A
  1. Penicillins enter the bacteria via the cell wall
  2. Inside the cell they bind to penicillin-binding protein
  3. Once bound, normal cell wall synthesis is disrupted
  4. Result: bacteria cells die from cell lysis

*Penicillins do not kill other cells in the body

Q

how does Antibiotic Resistance work in bacteria

A
  • bacteria secrete beta lactamase

- which therefore breaks down the B-lactam ring inactivating the antibiotic

Q

what are the side effects Cephalosporins

A
  • hypersensitivity( undesirable reactions produced by the normal immune system, including allergies and autoimmunity.)
  • headaches, dizziness
  • Nausea & Vomiting
18
Q

What are the 4 generation of Cephalosporins

A
  1. First-generation cephalosporins
    - ->Wide variety of gram-positive organisms
  2. Second-generation cephalosporins
    - ->Gram-positive and some gram-negative organisms
  3. Third-generation cephalosporins
    - ->Active against most gram-negative organisms
  4. Fourth-generation cephalosporins
    - ->Extended gram-positive and gram-negative coverage
    - ->for the sickest patients
  5. fifth generation
    - ->effective against MRSA
    - ->gram +ve and -ve
    - ->not effective against ESBL
19
Q

What is ESBL

A
  • EXTENDED-SPECTRUM BETA-LACTAMASE are Gram-negative bacteria that produce an enzyme beta-lactamase that has
  • the ability to break down commonly used antibiotics, such as penicillins and
    cephalosporins and render them ineffective for treatment
20
Q

what is the Newest cephalosporin agents

A

cefepime, 4th generation

Broader spectrum of antibacterial activity than third generation, especially against gram-positive bacteria

21
Q

features of macrolides

A
  • broad spectrum
  • -> cover gram +ve, -ve , atypical

*bacteriostatic

22
Q

What are the side effect of macrolides

A

Upset GI

  • need to take with food
  • ->otherwise nausea, vomiting, dizziness and cramps
23
Q

what are some macrolides drugs?

A
  • erythromycin
  • azithromycin
  • clarithromycin
24
Q

What is the MOA of macrolides

A

Prevent protein synthesis within bacterial cells

–>cell dies eventually

25
Q

What is the indication of macrolides

A 
Strep infections (gram +ve)
--> Streptococcus pyogenes

Mild to moderate URI (gram -ve)

What is the side effect of tetracycline

A

N, V & D

binds to ca2 and mg2

  • ->don’t use with milk,

31
Q

What are the toxcities comes with Aminoglycosides

A

nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity

32
Q

What is the indication of Aminoglycosides

A
  • kill gram-negative bacteria

- used in combination with other antibiotics (beta lactams) for synergistic effect

33

What are some example of Aminoglycosides drug

A

neomycin
gentamicin
streptomycin (TB)
tobramycin (CF)
