Q

Tetracycline SPectrum/Use

A

broad spectrum BUT many gram +/- organisms are now resistant

good activity in atypicals: chlamydia, mycoplasma

17
Q

Tetracyline ADR

A

abnormal bone/tooth developement, avoid in

18
Q

Clindamycin MOA

A

Protein synthesis inhibition

Bacteriostatic

19
Q

Clindamycin pharmacokinetics

A

good PO and IV
can penetrate into bone
hepatobiliary elimination

20
Q

Clindamycin spectrum/use

A

narrow spectrum: gram + cocci (PCN alternative)
NO C. DIFF
topical for acne

21
Q

Clindamycin ADR

A

severe diarrhea

pseudomembranous colitis

22
Q

Fluoroquinolones MOA

A

inhibition of DNA gyrase

bactericidal

23
Q

Fluoroquinolone Pharmacokinetics

A

good oral and IV

24
Q

Fluoroquinolones SPectrum/use

A

extended spectrum

25
Q

Sulfonamides MOA

A

inhibition of folate metabolism - interferes with DNA synthesis
Bacteriostatic is alone, bacteriocidal if combined

26
Q

Sulfonamide spectrum/use

A

broad spectrum: gram +/- chlamydia
