Antiinfective therapy + Beta lactam Flashcards
Gram Pos mnemonic
gram Pos–Purple–^Peptidoglican–Penicillin
Gram Neg mnemonic
gram Neg–Not Nice polysacaride–eNdotoxin
How to differentiate staph and strep (2)
Staph: catalase + , grape clusters
Strep: catalase -, diplococci/chains
Gram-neg pathologic think
Aerobic bacilli
Anerobic think
deep abscess (ie bacteroides)
Glucose fermenters think
like the gut (Enterobacteriaceae)
3 categories of anti-infectives: PED
- Prophylactic therapy: prevent infection
- Empiric therapy: treat suspectd infect’n–towd “most likely”
- Definitive therapy: treat known infective agent-culture-> sensitivity
Teenager CAP, pathogen and treatment
- Mycoplasma,
- macrolide –> azithromycin
Antiinfective MO’s (5)
- inhibition of Cell Wall synthesis
- protein synthesis inhibitors
- Inhibition of nucleic acid replication and transcription
- Inhibition of synthesis of essential metabolites
- Plasma membrane injury
Cell Wall synthesis inhibitors (4)
- penicillin
- vancomycin
- cephalosporins
- bacitracin
Protein synthesis inhibitors (4) (bacteriostatic)
- Chloramphenicol
- erythromycin
- tetracyclines
- streptomycin
Nucleic acid replication inhibitors (2) (bacteriocidal)
- Quinolones
2. rifampin
Essential metabolite synthesis inhibitors (2)
- Sulfanilamide
2. Trimethoprim
Plasma membrane injury (1) (topical)
- Polymyxin B
fungi version of cholesterol in cell wall–helps hold wall together
ergosterol
spectrum of activity can be _______ or _______
wide or narrow
anaphylaxis and hives are:
Type I hypersensitivity rxn
Ways toxicity can happen: (3)
- extension of mehanism of action
- Unintended physiologic interaction
- Dose-related
an infection that occurs during or after treatment of another pre-existing infection–may result from the treatment itself or changes in I.S
secondary infection
