21
Q

Cephalosporin Mechanism of Action

A

Similar to Penicillin, Inhibit cell wall synthesis

22
Q

Cephalosporin Pharmacokinetics

A

Cephalosporins of third gen useful for meningitis by Gram - organisms, First and Second gen do not enter CSF in adequate concentrations, Most excreted by active transport in liver

23
Q

Cephalosporins Adverse Effects

A

Intrathecal admin may cause convulsions, Agents containing Methylthiotetrazole (MTT) side chain (cefotetan) interfere w/ Vit K metabolism and cause clotting problems - Use with caution in patients on warfarin or with underlying clotting problems, Agents also cause disulfiram like rxn with alcohol; Allergic rxns, cross allergenicity to penicillins

24
Q

Azetreonam Chemistry

A

Monocyclic lactam w/unique spectrum of action

25
Q

Azetreonam Spectrum of Action

A

Active VS Most Gram - bacteria including P. aeruginosa, No activity VS Gram +, Resistant to some Gram - Beta-lactamase, Effective VS P. aeruginosa, Enterobacteriaceae, H. influenzae and Gonococci

26
Q

Azetreonam Uses

A

Useful in patients with serious penicillin allergy who have infections caused by resistant Gram - organisms

27
Q

Azetreonam Mechanism of Action

A

Possess a sulfonic acid group attached to N at 1-Position in structure that causes it to bind preferentially to PBP-3 of Gram - bacteria

28
Q

Azetreonam Pharmacokinetics

A

Poorly absorbed from gut as it is converted to an inactive ring form by intestinal flora, Must be administered IM or IV, Well distributed including CNS, Largely excreted unchanged and eliminated by filtration and tubular secretion, Short t1/2 so frequent dosing necessary, also causes IV site phlebitis

29
Q

Azetreonam Adverse Effects

A

Similar to other beta-lactams, Pain at site of injection, rash, GI discomfort in form of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Alternative to patients allergic to penicillins

30
Q

Daptomycin Mechanism of Action

A

Unclear, but seems like daptomycin integrates into cell membrane and oligomerize to form pores, resulting in K+ efflux, membrane depolarization and cell death, Given IV, Active VS Gram + organisms, Used to treat complicated skin infections, bacteremia or endocarditis from S. Aureus, Active VS MRSA

31
Q

Daptomycin Adverse Effects

A

Myopathy, Eosinophilic pneumonia, AAC (C. difficile diarrhea), Do not administer Daptomycin with statin drugs due to common adverse effect of myopathy

32
Q

Bacitracin Spectrum of Action

A

Topical polypeptide antibiotic, Bactericidal VS Gram + cocci and bacilli, Group A Streptococci are very sensitive

33
Q

Bacitracin Mechanism of Action

A

Inhibit cell wall synthesis by inhibiting lipid carrier involved in murein monomer synthesis, Zn2+ or Mg2+ required

34
Q

Bacitracin Uses

A

Used topically for skin, eye and mucus membrane infections caused mainly by group A Streptococci and Staphylococci

35
Q

Bacitracin Pharmacokinetics

A

Not absorbed orally so remain in gut lumen and occasionally used to treat C. difficile colitis or eradicate vancomycin-resistant enterococci in GI tract

36
Q

Bacitracin Adverse Effect

A

Significant kidney, bone marrow and neurological effects so not generally used systemically

37
Q

Mupirocin

A

Bactroban 2%
Unique action, Irreversible binding to bacterial isoleucyl t-RNA synthetase blocking protein and RNA synthesis, Topical use for S. aureus skin infections and intra-nasal to treat health worker carriers of MRSA, Bacteriocidal only at high conc., Rare anapylactoid reactions and AAC

38
Q

Fosfomycin Spectrum of Action

A

Active VS many Gram + and - Bacteria, Used as single dose for uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection in women

39
Q

Fosfomycin Mechanism of Action

A

Inhibits first step in synthesis of peptidoglycan

40
Q

Fosfomycin Pharmacokinetics and Adverse Effects

A

Administered orally, Excreted in urine, Safe in pregnancy, Minimal side effects

41
Q

Cycloserine Spectrum of Action

A

Used to treat TB that is resistant to first line agents, Active VS Gram + and - organisms

42
Q

Cycloserine Mechanism of Action

A

Structural analogue of D-Ala that inhibit cell wall synthesis by irreversible inhibiting both the alanine racemase that converts L-Ala to D-Ala, and D-Ala-D-Ala ligase that joins together 2 D-Ala. This prevents incorporation of D-Ala into peptidoglycan pentapeptide

43
Q

Cycloserine Pharmacokinetics

A

Widely distributed in tissue, Excreted in urine as active drug

44
Q

Cycloserine Adverse Effects

A
