cephalosporins Flashcards
Cephalosporins have how many classes and what do they not work against
6, LAME (listeria, atypicals aka CLaM, MRSA, Enterococcus)
first generation cephalosporins names and good for
cefazolin and cephalexin, Drug of choice for MSSA and cefazolin is best for surgical prophylaxis (aerobic)
these two are Drugs of Choice for MSSA
1st gen cephlasporins (cefazol), and Anti-Staphylococcal PCNS (Naf/Diclo)
2nd generation cephlasporins name and good for and bioequivalence?
po =x bio eqiv with IV,
TAN FOX FUR (bottom jeans..tan fox with the fur)
cefoteTAN, ceFOXtin, ceFURoxime,
good for: anaerobic coverage = prophylactic sergical.
2nd generation cephlasporins coverage
PEK + Haemophilus influenza andd morazella catarrhalis
IV vs PO Cefuroxime
IV rare, PO bettter for Peds with URT (sinusitis, otitis media)
3rd generation cephlasporins names and good for
CefTRIAzone, cefTAXime, cefTAZidime and oral cefDINir, cef PODozime,
cefTAZidime ONLY–>good for Psuedomonas activity
3rd gen coverage all prior plus SPACE bugs.
issues kernicteris and pain with ceftriazone, infant stool red with cefdiner
SPACE bugs
Serratia marcenesens, pseufomonas, acinobacter, citrobacter, enterobacter, klebsella pneumonia
Ceftraixone vs cefotaxime
cefTRIaxone –>kenecteris–>no good for kids. both–>CNS=good for meningitis.
ceftraixone drug of choice for?
Strep Pneumo and Gonorrhea, also great for E.Coli coverage
4th gen cephalosporine names and good for
CefePine, better G- and G+ (strep Pneumo) and better against B lact-ases
can use for PSUEDOMONAS, and NOSOCOMIAL infections
5th gen cephalosporine names and good for
cefTAROline –>MRSA!!!!!,
and cefTAROline: only B-lactam with MRSA coverage
All best for G+, can be used for skin infect w/mrsa
general ceph adverse react
kernicteris w. ceftraizone in neonates
superinfections with c.diff. diahreae, allergic rxn less than PCN
w/food: cefurozime, cefpodo
elderly? renal dose adjustments, EXCEPT CEFTRIAxONE
Carbapenems names and mechandism and thoughts on use
ERTAapenem, IMIpenim/cilastatin, MEROpenem, DORImepem and MOROpenem/varbobactam
use causiously! last line! PBP binding
ertapenem is what? and how different than others in its class
no activity aGAINST APE! Acinobacter, psudomonas, enterococcus & bound to protein. is a carbapenem
when are carbapenems drugs of choice?
with extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLS)
if CRE (carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriacae)–name of this organism?-then what now??
6th gen cephlasporins. have b-ace-inhibitors.
6th gen ceph names and why use
meropenem/vaborbactam IV only, works against CRE!
