Ch. 38 Flashcards
inhibit the growth of bacteria
Sulfonamides
have broad spectrum of antiacterial activity, including activity against gram pos and gram neg bacertia
Sulfonamides
These antibiotics achieve very high concentrations in the kidneys, and therefore are often used to Tx UTIs.
sulfamethoxazole
trimethoprim
Four major subclasses of beta-lactam broad group ATBs
penicillins
cephalosporins
carbapenems
monobactams
Four subgroups of penicillins
natural penicillins
penicillinase-resistant penicillins
aminpenicillins
extended-spectrum penicillins
Some bacteria are capable of producing ______ that can inactivate penicillin
beta-lactamase
Combination penicillin and beta-lactamase inhibitors
ampicillin/sulbactam
amoxicillin/clavulanic acid
ticarcillin/clavulanic acid
piperacillin/tazobactam
indicated for the prevention and Tx of infections caused by gram-pos bacteria
penicillins
Common adverse effects include urticaria, pruritus, and angioedema
penicillins
carbenicillin
extended-spectrum penicillin
piperacillin
extended-spectrum penicillin
ticarcillin
extended-spectrum penicillin
Semisynthetic antibiotics structurally and pharmacologically related to the penicillins. They are bactericidal and interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis.
cephalosporins
usually active against gram-positive bacteria and have limited activity against gram-negative bacteria
First Gen. Cephalosporins
have coverage against gram-positive organisms but have enhanced coverage against gram-negative bacteria
Second Gen Cephalosporins
cefotaxime
3rd Generation Cephalosporin
cefpodoxime
3rd Generation Cephalosporin
ceftazidime
3rd Gen. Cephalosporin
