Q

how does penicillin work?

A

Bind to penicillin-binding proteins (PBP’s) and inactivates transpeptidase

  • prevents the cross linking of peptidoglycan chains in the bacterial cell wall,
    • leading to loss of cell rigidity and cell death.

Q

how does Vancomycin work?

A

Binds to D-Ala-D-Ala terminal of peptidoglycan pentapeptide side chain, leading to inhibition of transglycosylation and prevents peptidoglycan chain elongation.

Q

what drug is used for prophylaxis for endocarditis before major procedures like dental surgery, in patients with known valvular issues?

A

Amoxicillin

19
Q

for what do you use Extended Spectrum penicillin?

A

gram neg rods and pseudomonas

20
Q

what are 2 drugs that are penicillin G?

it is used for what?

A

procaine –> syphillis

Benzathine –> rheumatic fever prophylaxis

21
Q

how can we augment the activity or widen the spectrum of Ampicillin and Amoxicillin?

name 2 combinations

A

by using them with a beta lactamase inhibitor like clavulanic acid or sulbactum

amoxicillin + clavulanic acid = Augmentin

Ampicillin + Sulbactum

22
Q

extended spectrum or antipseudomonal penicillins can be used synergistically with what other drugs?

why?

give an example of these drugs being used together.

A

Aminoglycosides

aminoglycosides enter the cell and prevents protein synthesis; penetration into a gram negative bacteria is enhanced when used with penicillin, which will break down the cell wall allowing the aminoglycoside easier entry

Piperacillin + Gentamycin

Piperacillin + Tazobactum

23
Q

which 2nd generation cephalosporin can enter the BBB?

A

cefuroxime

24
Q

what side effects can occur with the penicillins?

A

Cross-sensitivity between:

  • individual penicillins
  • penicillin and cephalosporins
25
Q

if a patient has an allergy towards penicillin or cephalosporin…what drug to you substitute it for?

A

macrolide or Aztreonam

26
Q

What is a side effect that can occur with Methicillin?

What is a side effect that can occur with Ampicillin?

What is a side effect that can occur with Ampicillin?

A

Methicillin: interstitial nephritis

Ampicillin: maculopapular rash

Ampicillin: diarrhea, pseudomembranous enterocolits

27
Q

if there is a superinfection with clostridium difficile, with what do you treat it ?

A

metrodinazole

28
Q

what do you treat using 1st generation cephalosporins?

A

Proteus, E.coli, Klebsiella pneumonia,

29
Q

which cephalosporin do you use for surgical prophylaxis?

A

first gen (Cefazolin)

30
Q

what do you treat using second gen cephalosporins?

A

Haemophilus influenza, Enterobacter, Neisseria, Proteus, E. coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Serratia

31
Q

which 2nd gen cephalosporin do you use for influenza?

which 2nd gen cephalosporin do you use for bacteroides fragilis?

A

cefuroxime, cefaclor, cefamandole

cefoxitin, cefotetan

32
Q

which 3rd gen cephalosporin do you use for bacterial meningitis?

which 3rd gen cephalosporin do you use for bacterial Pseudomonas?

which 3rd gen cephalosporin do you use for bacterial Gonorrhoea?

which 3rd gen cephalosporin do you use for bacterial S. typhi?

A

Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone

Cefoperazone, Ceftazidime

Ceftriaxone (parenteral), Cefixime (oral)

Ceftriazone, Cefaperazone

33
Q

what are side effects that happen by using cephalosporins?

A
  1. Cross-hypersensitivity between cephalosporins
  2. nephrotoxicity if given with aminoglycosides
  3. dusulfiram like reactions with ethanol with: Cefamandole, Cefoperazone & Cefotetan
  4. Vitamin K deficiency
34
Q

if a patient comes in with a History of anaphylaxis when given penicillin, you should immediately think that you can’t give what other drug?

A

any cephalosporin.

35
Q

all carbapenems have what type of resistance?

name all the carbapenems

A

penicillinase resistant

  1. Imipenem
  2. Meropenem
  3. Etrapenem
  4. Doripenem
36
Q

for what do you use carbapenems?

A

use in severe life-threatening infections

also, bacteroides fragilis and clostridium

37
Q

how do carbapenems work?

A

Imipenem is rapidly inactivated by renal dehydropeptidase I, combined with cilastatin (inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase) to prevent hydrolysis by enzymes in the renal brush border.

38
Q

what is the side effect seen with carbapenems?

A

Seizures, GI distress,

39
Q

name the only Monobactam?

what is it used for?

what side effect is seen with this?

A

Aztreonam

Used in gram negative infections, especially in patients allergic to penicillins/cephalosporins

No hypersensitivity reaction between penicillins/cephalosporins and aztreonam

40
Q

how does vancomycin work?

A

Binds to D-Ala-D-Ala terminal of the nascent peptidoglycan pentapeptide side chain, leading to inhibition of transglycosylation and prevents peptidoglycan chain elongation.

41
Q

what is the mechanism of resistance for vancomycin?

A

Decreased affinity of vancomycin for the binding site due to the replacement of terminal D-Ala by D-Lactate.

42
Q

for what do you use vancomycin?

A

MRSA, Enterococci, C. difficile

43
Q

what is a side effects occur with vancomycin?

A

Red Man’s Syndrome: release of histamine (flushing, redness of face, hypotension). Seen in fast IV infusion. Prevented by pretreatment with antihistamines.

Nephrotoxicity, Ototoxicity: can become additive if used with aminoglycosides
