Antibiotics for Bacterial Infections of the Bladder and Kidney Flashcards
Goals for ABs
Cure infection and minimize collateral damage
Example of side effects
AIN - penicillins
Lung and neuro - nitrofurantoin
Tnedonitis and seizures - FQs
Skin, especially with sulfa drugs
Normal flora benefits
Defend against pathognens
Vit K form E coli
Pathogens associated with decrerased normal flora
Clostridium difficile
Vaginal - candida
Fecal bacteria colonize vagina and ascend to bladder - cystitis
Vit K and normal flora
Dec in E coli…less Vit K…dec vitamin K —-excessive anticoagulation and increased bleeding risk…warfarin
Empiric tx
Start based on clinical scenario and most likely organisim if clinical scenario is very convincing and elay in RX would lead to sginificant problem
If cultre is available and susceptible to more than 1 drug
Chose most narrow spectrum, fewest risks and not allergic
If you start empiric, when culture returns, then de-escalate
Tx of cystitis
Nitrofuranton
Bactrim
Fosfomycin
Nitrofurantoin
Reduced by nitrofuran reductse…reactive intermediate damage DNA
Active against E coli and staph saprophyticus
Gets into urine only, no tissue…good because less vaginits and diarrhea
Bad bc not for pyeloneprhitis
Nitrofurantoin adverse effective
Lung toxicity (fibrosis) Neurotocic Hemolyitc anemia if G6PD def
Bactrim
Sulfonamide inhibit dihydropteroate syntehtase
Trimeprhotim - dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor
Bactrim clinical
2 step inhibito of folate ysnthesis
May be allergic
If not tested and delay in tx not risky, okay to try TMP alo9ne
Bactrim spectrum
Strep pneumo
Staph (MRSA)
Gram neg rods except pseudomonoas
SMX main risks
Avoid if pregnant…displaces bilirubin from albumin and leads to encephalopathy in newborn
Hemolytic anemia (G6P)
Skin reactons - spearate epidermis from dermis
Fixed drug eruption
Fixed drug eruption
Immune mediated and same place each time drug taken
Genitalia or motuh
