Antimicrobials Flashcards
Sulfonamides MOA
ADRs
Examples
- inhibit one of the sequential steps in the production of folic acid, often combined with trimethoprim
- skin rash, GI, headache, renal damage, liver damage, kernicterus in newborns, STEVEN JOHNSON SYNDROME, BONE MARROW SUPPRESSION
- sulfamethoxazole (bactrim)
- community acquired MRSA
Penicillins MOA
ADRs
- inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis
- fairly non toxic, GI (NVD), rash
- can be used in pregnancy
examples of narrow spectrum PCNs
PCN G (injection/IV) PCN V (oral)
examples of extended spectrum PCN
ampicillin
amoxicillin
piperacillin and ticarcillin combined w/beta lactamase inhibitor for nosocomial pneumonias
PCNase resistant PCN examples
methicillin
nafcillin/oxacillin
dicloxacillin
used for serious staph infections
Beta-lactamase inhibitors MOA and examples
inhibits beta-lactamase enzyme, no antimicrobial activity alone, must be combined w/ beta-lactam antibiotic
- amox + clavulanate=augmentin
- ticaricillin
- ampicillin
- piperacillin
misc beta lactams aztreonam IV
- good for gram - (p. aeruinosa)
- can be used in PCN allergy pts
misc beta lactam carbapenems examples
-PENEMs
-wide range of gram +/-. aerobic and anaerobic
-can’t be used in PCN allergy
impinem/cilistatin IV
meropenem IV
Ertapenem IV/IM
Doripenem
Cephalosporins MOA and ADRs
-inhibit bacterial wall synthesis, but beta-lactamase resistant
-similar to PCN
can be used in pregnancy
