Q

How are penicillins excreted

A

Tubular secretion

29
Q

What can block tubular secretion of penicillins

A

Probenecid

30
Q

Which penicillin isn’t excreted tubularly

A

Nafcillin its excreted by bile

31
Q

What is the half life of penicillins

A

1 hour

32
Q

Do penicillins exhibit time dependent or concentration dependent killing

A

Time dependent

33
Q

What are the clinical uses of Pen G and Pen V

A

Primarily gram + bacteria

34
Q

What which penicillin class is beta lactamase resistant

A

Anti staph - nafcillin, methicillin, oxacillin

35
Q

What are the extended spectrum penicillins used for clinically

A

Gram + and some Gram -

36
Q

What are the anti pseudomonal penicillins used for

A

Proteus sp. and pseudomonas

37
Q

What is the issue with using antipsudomonal penicillins and what do you have to combine them with

A

They develop resistance rapidly, combine with aminoglycocides or fluoroquinolones

38
Q

When should antipseudomonals be used

A

Only when absolutely indicated to protect their therapeutic value

39
Q

What are the most common adverse reactions of penicillins

A

Ampicillin rash

Hypersensitivity

40
Q

What is resistance to penicillins due to

A
No cell wall
No activation of autopsies (murein hydrolases)
Metabolically inactive 
Inaccessible PBPs 
Beta lactamase production
41
Q

What can you do to prevent resistance due to beta lactamase

A

Give a beta lactamase inhibitor
Clavulanic acid
Sulbactam
Tazobactam

42
Q

What are issues associated with overuse of penicillins

A

Resistance
Sensitization
Superinfections be resistant organisms

43
Q

What are cephalosporins used for

A

In penicillins won’t work, less sensitive to beta lactamase

Broader spectrum of activity

44
Q

What is a negative about using cephalosporins instead of penicillins

A

Renal toxicity is more common
Poor oral absorption
Some cross reactivity with penicillins

45
Q

As the generation of cephalosporins goes up so does

A
Greater gram - activity
Less beta lactamase activity 
Cephalosporinase resistant 
Less toxic to patient 
Better distribution especially to CNS
46
Q

What are adverse effects of cephalosporins

A

Renal toxicity, enhanced by aminoglycosides
Disulfiram effect; bleeding and platelet disorders
Hypersensitivity

47
Q

What is aztreonam used for

A

Gram - aerobes

48
Q

How do azteronam and Imipenem respond to beta lactamase

A

They are resistant

49
Q

Do aztreonam and imipenem cross the blood brain barrier?

A

Yes

50
Q

What is imipenem used for

A

Broad spectrum gram + and gram -, anaerobes

51
Q

What should imipenem be used with if treating pseudomonas

A

Aminoglycosides

52
Q

How is imipenem administered

A

IV only

53
Q

How is imipenem inactivated and how do you prevent that

A

Renal dipeptidase, co administer with cilastatin

Q

What is meropenem
