sulfonamides
trimethoprim
pyrimethamine
penicillin MoR
- B-lactamases – drugs are either resistant or sensitive
- change target (PBP)
- prevent entry (porin structure)
narrow spectrum, B-lactamase sensitive, penicillin
pen G and pen V
for: strep, pneumo, meningococci, Treponema pallidum
very narrow spectrum, B-lactamase resistant, penicillin
naficillin, methicillin, oxacillin
for: staphylococci
only B-lactamase resistant penicillins
naficillin, methicillin, oxacillin
broad spectrum, B-lactamase sensitive, penicillin
ampicillin, amoxicillin
for: gram (+) cocci, E coli, H influenzae, Listeria, Borrelia burgdorferi, H pylori
treat listeria with
ampicillin
treat Borrelia burgdorferi and H pylori with
amoxicillin
extended spectrum, B-lactamase sensitive, penicillin
ticarcillin, pipercillin
for: gram (-), Pseudomonas
clavulanic acid and sulbactam are
B-lactamase inhibitors
nafcillin and oxacillin are eliminated
in bile
active tubular secretion of penicillins in blocked by
probenecid
ampicillin is metabolized by
enterohepatic cycling
1st gen cephalosporin
cefazolin, cephalexin
2nd gen cephalosporin
cefotetan, cefaclor, cefuroxime
3rd gen cephalosporin
ceftriaxone (IM), cefotaxime (parenteral), cefdinir, cefixime (oral)
4th gen cephalosporin
cefepime
ceftriaxone is eleminated
in the bile – don’t give to neonates
cefazolin, cephalexin used for
gram (+) cocci, E coli, Klebsiella, pneumoniae, Proteus, surgical prophylaxis
cefotetan, cefaclor, cefuroxime used for
increased gram (-) coverage, some anaerobes
cephalosporins that enter CNS
cefuroxime (2nd gen), most 3rd gens, cefepime (4th gen)
ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefdinir, cefixime used for
gram (+) and gram (-) cocci, Neisseria gonorrhea, gram (-) rods, meningitis, sepsis
cefepime
widest spectrum
which cephalosporins are resistant to B-lactamase?
3rd and 4th gen
penems are resistant/sensitive to B-lactamases?
resistant
penems are used for
gram (+) cocci, gram (-) rods (enterobacter and pseudomonas) and anaerobes
What is cilastatin do?
inhibits imipenem from being metabolized to a nephrotoxic metabolite
SE of penems
seizures in patients with renal dysfunction
aztreonam
for gram (-) rods
**has no cross-allergenicity
vancomycin binds
D-ala-D-ala muramyl pentapeptide
vancomycin spectrum
MRSA, enterococci, C diff
MoR to vancomycin
D-ala –> D-lactate
vancomycin side effects
“red man syndrome” from histamine release when given too rapidly, ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity
interfere with initiation codon function
aminoglycosides (30S) and linezolid (50S)
block docking of tRNA (amino acid incorporation)
tetracyclines (30S) and dalfopristin/quinupristin (50S)
