Antibiotics in Food Animals Flashcards
Sulfonamides are time/concentration dependent
time dependent
sulfonamides are effective against ______
gram (+), gram (-) and some protozoa
organisms known to be resistant to sulfonamides
Pseudomonas, Bacteroides, and Enterococcus
T/F sulfonamides are bacteriostatic except potentiated sulfas which are bactericidal
True
additives increase strenght/effectiveness (i.e TMS)
where are sulfonamides distributed
wide distribution
joints via synovial fluid, CNS, prostate, urine etc - esp potentiated
T/F sulfonamides can be given to dairy cattle
False!
only sulfadimethoxine
T/F potentiated sulfas are used off label in calves and pigs
true
beta-lactams are time/concentration dependent
time dependent
beta lactams are bactericidal/static
bactericidal
what are some examples of beta lactams
penicillins and cephalosporins
what is the action of beta-lactams
bind penicillin-binding proteins
PBP-1 (panems) cause immediate cell lysis
T/F beta-lactams can be combines with a bacteristatic to increase efficacy
False!
Bacteria has to have 1 replication cycle for the beta-lactams to be cidal, combining with -statics make them useless
T/F penicillins generally need more time than cephalosporins
False
cephalosporins generally need more time than penicillins
______ require more exposure than ______
gram (-) require more exposure than gram (+)
how to organisms become resistant/avoid beta-lactams
production of beta-lactamase or alter PBP to prevent binding
3rd Generation Cephalosporins are usually unaffected by beta-lactamases
what is the spectrum of natural penecillins
gram (+), anaerobes, select gram (-): Listeria; and spirochetes
spectrum of aminopenicillins
more gram (-), some stains of E. coli and Salmonella
how does the spectrum of Cephalosporins differ from penicillins
similar but more gram (-) coverage as generation increases
T/F beta lactams have poor intracellular activity
True
what are some indications for tetracyclines
Anaplasma
wooden tongue (Actinobacillus)
lumpy jaw (Actinomycosis)
tetracyclines are ______ dependent
AUC/MIC dependent
AUC has to be about 120x MIC to be effective
what is the mechanism of tetracyclines
bind to 30s ribosomes, prevents protein synthesis
minimal affinity for mammalian ribosomes
routes of administration of tetracyclines
IV, IM, SQ, PO
poor ora absorption - except doxy
distribution of tetracycline
lipophillic (intracellular)
wide distribution (most tissues)
accumulate intracellularly, even leukocytes - posible anti-inflammatory effects
how are tetracycline eliminated
60% via glomerular filtration
40% through feces
there is increasing concern about ________ with tetracyclines
RESISTANCE!
