Q

Anti-Staphylococcal Penicillins

Oxacillin, Nafcillin, Dicloxacillin

A

Some staphylococcus aureus

Some Staph epidermidis

No enterococcus - GI BUG

NAFCILLIN –> DRUG OF CHOICE FOR MSSA

USED FOR HOSPITAL SETTINGS

CLINICAL: Having Nafcillin as an intraop atbx for a GI procedure is not enough because it does not have an enterococcus coverage.

Q

Amino-penicillin

Ampicillin

A

Clinical:

Meningitis guidelines recommend Ampicillin

it has good Listeria coverage and good CNS penetration

—> not picked for gram-negative because of resistance

–> DO NOT USE FOR ABDOMINAL COVERAGE

Q

CarbaPENEMs

Ertapenem (Invanz®) – IV, IM

Meropenem (Merrem®) – IV Imipenem/cilastatin (Primaxin®) – IV Doripenem (Doribax®) - IV

WILL IT COVER PSEUDOMONAS?

A

GREAT SKIN FLORA COVERAGE

– THE REASON WHY WE USE THIS IN PRACTICE IS BECAUSE

OF RESISTANCE AND ITS GRAM NEGATIVE PROPERTIES

– BELLY CASE ITLL BE JUST FINE

only ERTAPENEM WILL NOT COVER PSEUDOMONAS

25
Q

FLUOROQUINOLONES

Ciprofloxacin (Cipro®) – IV, PO Levofloxacin (Levaquin®) – IV, PO

A

you can use if you have beta-lactam allergy

ATYPICAL COVERAGE

  • Chlamydia and Chlamydophila

Mycoplasma Pneumoniae

Legionella spp

GRAM NEGATIVE: CIPROFLOXACIN IS MOSTLY GRAM NEGATIVE

_PSEUDOMONAS*_

_STENOTROPHOMONAS MALTOPHILIA*_

26
Q

Your patient has PCN, Cephalosporin, and Carbapenem allergy. He grew pseudomonas on his gram stain what antibiotic can you use?

A

Aztreonam

its a beta-lactam but can be used when people has severe allergy to PCN

super narrow; cover gram negatives

27
Q

Drug of choice for MRSA

A

VANCOMYCIN

28
Q

DOES IV VANC COVER C. DIFF?

A

NO.

ONLY PO VANC

IT NEVER GETS ABSORBED

29
Q

When will Daptomycin be used?

A

it covers MRSA

VRE

– inactivated by lung surfactant

30
Q

Your patient grew MRSA. Upon a careful review of his chart, you noted that he had a severe anaphylactic reaction to Vanco. What medication will you use? While typing your orders the lab called you for the same patient and notified you that the same patient grew VRE what will you use?

A

Daptomycin

31
Q

Your patient has a massive bowel perforation.

gram stains grew: Enterococci** and **Bacteroides spp.

what antibiotic will you use?

A

Ampicillin- Sulbactam

32
Q

Your patient that had a massive bowel perf.

He is scheduled for surgery , upon reading his gram stains you noted that it grew

Enterococci, Bacteroides spp. , and Pseudomonas what antibiotic will you use among the penicillin class?

A

Piperacillin - tazobactam

33
Q

WHICH CEPHALOSPORIN WILL COVER ENTEROCOCCUS?

A

NONE

NO CEPHALOSPORIN WILL EVER COVER ENTEROCCOCUS AT ALL

34
Q

The IV drug of choice for C.Diff

A

Metronidazole

35
Q

Your patient grew MRSA and VRE in his lungs what will you use to treat it? He is on his way to get GI surgery.

A

TIGECYCLINE

Covers MRSA and covers VRE

covers: bacteroides fragilis and many other anaerobs

QTc prolongation and c. diff risk

44
Q

If a patient has thrombocytopenia what would you expect to see if you put them on a course of Linezolid

  • TIGECYCLINE
53
Q

What are the drugs that treat VRE

A

Daptomycin (DOC) - can cause Rhabdo

Linezolid (DOC)

Tigecycline – doesn’t concentrate in blood [not good for super sick person]
