Penicillin G
MOA:
PK:

MOA: beta-lactam, bactericidal
Pk: 50% excreted unchanged by the kidney 6 hours after dose
In the anesthesia cart!
Carbenicillin
class:
SE:
3rd generation beta-lactamase sensitive PCN
Unique! r/t lots of SE
- High sodium load (30-40 mg) -> caution in CHF
- Hypokalemia
- Metabolic Alkalosis
- Prolonged bleeding time despite normal platelet count also needs renal dose.
carbenicillin is avoided in CHF r/t
high sodium load, 30-40 mg
beta-lactamase resistant PCNs are affective against
staph aureus
but otherwise are narrow spectrum agents
Nafcillin
class:

Excretion:
beta-lactamase resistant PCN!
- Good for staph aureus, otherwise narrow spectrum
penetrates the CNS 80%
secreted in BILE!
GOOD FOR RENAL!

Nafcillin
beta-lactamse resistant PCN
80% secreted in bile
Dicloxacillin
class:
beta-lactamase resistant PCN
Oxacillin
class:
beta-lactamase resistant PCN
Unasyn [ampicillin/sulbactam]
beta-lactamase sensitive / beta-lactamase resistant PCN
amoxicillin/clavulanic acid [augmentin]

ticarcillin/clavulanic acid [timentin]
beta-lactamase sensitive / beta-lactamase resistant PCN
pipercillin/tazobactam [zosyn]
beta-lactamase sensitive / beta-lactamase resistant PCN
Cephalosporin MOA:
Cephalosporins also have a beta-lactam ring,
so function by binding to pencillin binding proteins,
inhibiting transpeptidase, and
activating autolysins.
Cephalosporins are usually excreted
via renal route
**exception = ceftriaxone
Bleeding Concerns with Cephalosporins:
cefoperazone, cefotetan, ceftriaxone
These inhibit the conversion of vitamin K to active form, inhibits factors 2, 4, 10 and prothrombin.
Cefuroxime
class:
2nd generation cephalosporin
DOES cross placenta
Cefoxitin
class
2nd genration cephalosporin
Cefemetazole
class
SE:
2nd generation cephalosporin
Anta-abuse agent
Cefotetan
Class:
SE:
Interacts:
2nd generation cephalosporin
r/f bleeding
- r/t inhibits conversion of vitamin K to active form
- Antabuse drug!!!
- Interacts with anti-plt / anti-coag drugs
Ceftazidime
Class:
3rd generation cephalosporin
Cefotaxime
Class:
3rd generation cephalosporin
Ceftriaxone
Class:
Pk:
SE:
Interacts:
3rd generation cephalosporin
- Has some renal excretion but significant liver metabolism Longest e1/2 time of cephalosporins
- R/F bleeding r/t inhibits conversion of vitamin K to active form
- Interacts with anti-platelet drugs / anti-coags
- FORMS PRECIPITATES WITH CALCIUM - fatal, neonates
Cefepime
Class:
Pk:
Coverage:
generation 4 cephalosporin.
- broadest spectrum activity against gram +, gram -,
- crosses BBB,
- activity against anaerobes.
- $$expensive
Ceftaroline
Class:
Either 5th or 3rd generation cephalosporin.
MRSA coverage
Aztreonam
MOA:
Pk:
Excreted by:
SE:
class: monobactam
MOA: has a beta-lactam ring
- but only binds to GRAM NEGATIVE bacteria
- Very resistant to beta-lactimase
Pk:
- Penetrates CSF
Excreted
- unchanged by kidney !!
Biggest SE
- GI superinfection
Erythromycin
Clarithromycin
Azithromycin
are:
macrolides
macrolides
MOA:
metabolism:
excreted:
MOA: bind to 50S subunit and therefore are bacteriostatic, can be bactericidal in large concentration
Metabolized by CYP450 - CYP3A4
Excreted in BILE
Macrolides are very good against:
ATYPICAL pathogens:
Community Aquired Pneumonia
Legionella Pneumophila
Pertussis
Acute Diptheria
Chlamydial Infections
Bacterial Endocaridits
Limited activity against anaerobes
biggest concern with macrolides
r/f for QT prolongation, dysrythymias
especially when prescribed with CYP3A4 inhibitors
Clindamycin
Class:
MOA:
Used for:
Metabolized by:
Excreted by:
Clindamycin:
Class: Linomycin
MOA: Binds to 50S sub-unit, so also bacteriostatic
Most Commonly Used: for female GU surgery
Metabolized By: liver
Excreted: mostly in bile
SE of Clindamycin
- pseudomembranous colitis
- 6% C. Diff
- Blood Dyscrasia
4. Muscle weakness ->
- Prolonged pre and post junctional effects NMJ
- Not antagonized by anticholinesterase or calicum
anti-cholinesterase = acteylcholinesterase inhibitor
Profound NMB with clindamycin
is NOT reversed with calcium or neostigmine
neostigmine = acetylcholinesterase inhibitor/anticholinesterase
Decrease dose in clindamycin with
severe LIVER disease
Vancomycin
class:
MOA:
PharmacoK:
excretion:
vancomycin
class: glycopeptide
MOA: Depletes cell of precursors for cell wall
- slow bacteriacidal
PharmacoK:
- poorly absorbed via GI route,
- slow CSF penetration unless active infalmmation.
Excretion: 90% excreted unchanged kidneys
Vancomycin is a good choice for
MRSA coverage!
Good choice for PCN allergy
serious staph infections
surgery with prosthetic devices
CSF/shunt related infections
bacterial endocarditis
Severe C. Diff
Amikacin
Gentamycin
Neomycin
class:
aminoglycosides
Aminoglycosides
MOA
Excretion
Aminoglycosides:
MOA: bind to 30S subunit and block initiation of protein synthesis - BACTERICIDAL
excretion: 100% renal
Skeletal Muscle Weakness with aminoglycosides
Aminoglycoside inhibit the pre-junctional release of acetylcholine and decrease post-synaptic sensitvity to the neurotansmitter
Potentiaton of NDNMB
- paralysis is usually reversible with calcium gluconate or neostigmine (acetylcholinesterase inhibitor)
amikacin + PCN
is C/I because amikacin can antagonize the effects of PCN
Zyvvox
MOA
Zyvvox
MOA: Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by inhibiting formation of functional ribosome unit 23.
BACTERIOSTATIC
Zyvvox Coverage:
Zyvvox
Gram positive pathogens
Not active against gram negative
Active against resistant bacteria such as MRSA and VRE
Expensive $$
Zyvox is contraindicated
Zyvvox is contraindicated for
- PKU patients
* Formualted with phenylalanine - SSRIs
* Zyvvox is a weak MAO-I, increase r/f serotonin syndrome - Meperidine
* Zyvvox is a weak MAO-I, increase r/f serotonin syndrome - Ephedrine
* zyvvox is a weak MAO-I, increase r/f HTN crisis
Zyvvox acts as a weak …
Zyvvox acts as a weak MAO-I and should be avoided with: SSRIs, meperidine, ephedrine.
