Antibiotics for Final Flashcards
Penicillin
MOA = Bind to penicillin binding proteins which are transpeptidases that make the cell wall.
Spectrum = Gram +
Bactericidal
Benzathine = subcutaneous injection for longer half life.
*Anaphalaxis is a concern
Penicillinase
Enzymes that break down penicillin. Mechanism of resistnace
Nafcillin & Dicloxacillin
Same as penicillin but has larger R group which blocks penicillinase activity
MSSA usage
Beta-lactamase inhibitors
Clavulanate
Sulbactam
Tazobactam
Ampicillin and Amoxicillin
B-lactam with more gram negative coverage.
Amp + Sulbactam & Amo + Clavulanate
Associated with C diff.
Ticarcillin and Pipercillin
B- lactam that can be used against pseudomonas.
Broader action against gram -
Penicillin Allergy
3-10% of US
Only 5-10% react the second time
0.05% anaphylactic shock –> Epi
via hapten-protein comples –> IgE
Aztreonam
Beta-lactam with no cross allergic responses
Gram negative rods? / Inactivated by beta-lactamases
Cephalosporins
B- Lactam Less Susceptible to penicillinases
Dosage adjustment in renal insufficiency
Cefazolin
1st generation cephalosporin.
Gram +
Surgical prophylaxis
Doesn’t cross B-B barrier
Cefoxitin and cefuroxime
2nd generation cephalosporin
Use right before surgery
Doesn’t cross B-B barrier
Disulfiram-like reaction with EtOH = Hangover!!!
Ceftriaxone and cefotaxime
3rd Gen Ceph Use for serious gram - Can cross blood brain barrier ***Brain infections/Meningitis*** Strong association with C. diff Kelates calcium
Cefepime
4th generation (1st + 3rd) Broadest spectrum ceph = Gram +/- and pseudomonas Good for empiric therapy
Ceftraroline
5th generation
Kills MRSA
Carbapenems - imipenim/cilastatin and meropenem
B-lactam
Broad spectrum but no MRSA
**cilastatin used to decrease nephrotoxicity
Now have Klebsiella pneumonia carbapenemase (KPC) superbugs
Genral Notes for Beta - Lactam
Seizures
Assume cross alleginicity
Monitor renal clearance
Vancomycin
MOA = Binds D-Alanyl-D-alanine terminus of cell wall precursor. Inhibits transglycolase.
Spectrum = gram + and MRSA
Oral vanco is poorly absorbed
Good for empiric
“Say no to Vanco :)”
Side effects = red man syndrome (hypersensitivity), nephrotoxicity (adjust dosage in renal insufficiency)
Now have VRE!!!
VRE resistance mechanism to Vanco
replac D-alanyl-D-alanine w/ D-alanyl-D-lactate or D-Alanyl-D-Serine
Bacitracin
MOA= inhibits elongation of cell wall (Not B-lactam) –> prevents dephosphorylation of Bactroprenol
Usage= poor bio availability –> topical, ophthalmic, and dermatologic
SA= Neprotoxic when given IM
low resistance
Polymyxin B
MOA= Binds to LPS making holes
Spectrum = Multidrug resistant gram negative bacilli
Used in combination iwth other ABs for entry
SA = Nephrotoxicity
Low resistance
Daptomycin
MOA = Depolarization of cell membrane
Spectrum = Gram + (Saved for VRE and Vanco resistant MRSA)
Side effects = pulmonary accumulation
Resistance = addition of positively charged lysine to cell surface repels the positively charged drug.
30s inhibitors
Aminoglycosides and tetracycline
