Q

What conditions were first gen cephs used to treat?

A
  1. UTIs caused by E. coli and Klebsiella
  2. MSSA bacteremia
  3. Strep cellulitis
  4. surgical prophylaxis
24
Q

Which of the cephs was used for surgical prophylaxis?

Which generation has more cross-reactivitity with penicillins?

A

first gen - cephalexin and cefazolin

first gen

25
Within the second gen of cephs, which were considered true cephalosporins?
cefuroxime, cefaclor, loracarbef and cefprozil
26
What was special about the second gen true cephs?
they were BETTER for S. pneumo than first gen and had better gram neg coverage - great for ANEROBES
27
What were the cephamycins?
Cefoxitin or Cefotan
28
cephamycins are special because...
they destroy E. coli and Kleb and the have activity against ANEROBES
29
Which two 2nd gen cephs are the only ones that cover ANEROBES?
CEFOXITIN and CEFOTAN (cephamycins)
30
What conditions are the 2nd gen cephs used to Tx?
URI/ pneuomonia from community
31
What are the cephamycins used to Tx?
prophylaxis for colon surgery
32
What are the third gen cephs?
``` cefotaxime ceftriaxone ceftazidime cefdinir cefpodoxime ceftibutin cefixime ```
33
Which two third gens cephs are used to Tx S. pneumo, H. flu and M.cat?
ceftriaxone and cefotaxime - used most often
34
which third gen ceph is best for pseudomonas?
ceftazidime
35
are the thrid gen cephs good for enterococcus?
no
36
what conditions are third gen cephs good for treating?
pneumonia from S. pneumo and H. flu and meningitis - CEFTRIAXONE Nosocomial infections w. Pseudomonas intra-abdominal infections UTI
37
Which gen of Cephalosporins is assoc w. C. dificile? which third gen is used to treat lyme disease?
THIRD GEN ceftriaxone
38
which generation of cephs is a zwitterion?
fourth gen - Cefipime (IV)
39
What is Cefipime (4th gen) good for?
pseudomonas and nosocomial infections for pneuomonia 1) Neutropenic fever (better as monotherapy than ceftaz due to improved gram + activity) (2) Meningitis, especially post-neurosurgical or hospital acquired (3) Ceftazidime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (4) Similar to 3rd-generation cephalosporins post surgical meningitis
40
side effects of fourth gen cephs?
seizures
41
what are the fifth gen cephs?
1. ceftaroline - it possesses a side chain that mimics a portion of the cell wall structure ad a Trojan horse allowing access to PBP2a 2. ceftobirole
42
Could the fifth gen cephs be used to Tx MRSA and Enterococcus?
yep. It is the only gen that could do this
43
what conditions can it treat?
complicated skin and soft tissue infection
44
What class is Aztreonam? a monobactam or a carbapanem?
monobactam
45
Aztreonam is good against gram negatives only. | never use it alone
Pseudomonas and combined for nosocomial infections esp in patients w. Pen allergy (where you don't want to use an aminoglycoside) and kidney dysfunction
46
What class do imipenem, meropenem, ertapenem and doripenem used for?
carbapenems
47
what are the carbapenems used for?
ANEROBES **Ertapanem is the worst for Pseudomonal or Acinetobacter activity
48
What are they used to treat?
Ertapanem - for intrabdominal infections nosocomial infections polymicrobial infections that doesn't involve Pseudomonas outpatient dosing Meropenem for ESBLs
49
what is the important side effect of carbapenems and which one causes it?
seizures - imipenem
50
Vancomycin mechanism of action
binds too D-Ala-D-Ala which prevents elongation of peptidoglycan and cross linking
51
Mechanisms of resistance
VRE where enterococcus changes peptidoglucan to D-ALA-D-Lactose
52
spectrum of Vancomycin?
``` MRSA Coag-Neg Staph Strep Enterococci ----all gram positives ```
53
side effect of Vancomycin
kidney failure and hypersensitivity
54
use of which antibiotic will cause Redman Syndrome?
Vancomycin
55
beta lactam spectrum review notes
1. Pen V/ G- strep then Ceftriaxone to avoid resistance 2. Aminopenicilins made to cover gram negatives 3. Anti-Staph for MSSA 4. Antipseudomals are combined w. a beta lactamase inhibitor (pip/tax) for nosocomial, gram neg 5. first gen cephs--> Strep, MSSA, UTI 6. second gen cephs--> outpatient - UTI (Cephamycins for ANEROBES) 7. third gen for gram neg, Ceftaz for Pseudomonas. Add Metronidazole for anerobic coverage 8. fourth gen, Cefipime, great GP, broad gram neg 9. Carbapanem- for multi-drug resistance in ICU or if they have used a lot of antibiotics already 10. Vancomycin- a glycopeptide
