Cefotaxime, ceftazidime, cefepime, ceftriaxone
klebsiella pneumoniae
cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefapime and ceftazidime
Salmonella
ceftriaxone
what antibiotics inhibit bacterial wall synthesis or activate enzymes that disrupt the cell wall
Penicillins cephalosporins imipenem vancomycin caspofungin
what antibiotics increase cell membrane permeability
amphotericin B
daptomycin
itraconazole
what antibiotics cause lethal inhibition of bacterial protein sythesis
aminoglycosides (gentamycin)
what antibiotics cause nonlethal inhibition of protein synthesis
tetracyclines
Clindamycin
erythromycin
Linezolid
what abx inhibit bacterial synthesis of DNA and RNA or disrupt DNA function
rifampin, metronidazole, fluoroquinolones
drugs that are directly lethal to bacteria at clinically achievable concentrations
bacteriocidal
drugs that can slow bacterial growth but do not cause cell death
bacteriostatic
bacteriocidal and bacteriostatic
which needs a working immune system to work
bacteriostatic
what are the 4 ways for bugs to resist drugs
decrease drug concentration at site of action
alter the structure of drug target molecules (changes receptors)
produce a drug antagonist
cause drug inactivation
example of a bug producing a drug antagonist
synthesize increased number of PABA
against sulfa drugs
example of drug inactivation
increased production of penicillinase that inactivates penicillin
also for cephalosporins, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones
what mechanism for acquiring resistance happens primarily among gram neg bacteria
conjugation
what mechanism for acquiring resistance confers resistance to only one drug
Spontaneous mutation
what mechanism for acquiring resistance that confers multiple-drug resistance
conjugation
explain antibiotic use and emergence of drug resistant microbes
You have natural microbes that keep each other in check, using a broad spectrum may kill off some that was keeping other bacteria in check. You kill them and the resistant bacteria take over
a new infection that appears during the course of treatment for primary infection
superinfection
ie) vaginal candida in female treated with a broad spectrum drugs, superinfections are more likely in pt receiving broad spectrum
