Deck 5 - Antibiotic Drugs Flashcards
What antibiotic combination has effects that add up to those of two different antibiotics?
ADDITIVE EFFECT
What are antibiotic combination when two medications are used and the desired impact could be significantly diminished?
ANTAGONISTIC EFFECT
It is an antibiotic combinations that occurs when one antibiotic increases the effectiveness of the 2nd drug.
POTENTIATIVE EFFECT
It works well against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
BROAD SPECTRUM
It mostly works against one kind of creature (selective)
NARROW SPECTRUM
It is when a signs and symptoms do not improve.
SUBTHERAPEUTIC
When a medicine is chosen that is recognized as the most effective in killing the MO.
EMPIRIC THERAPY
What medications should clients avoid if they have a serious history of allergies and use cautiously in clients who have or are at risk for kidney dysfunction?
PENICILLINS
It has the broadest antibacterial effects of any antibiotics, and it is frequently used to treat difficult body cavity and connective tissue infections because it is bactericidal and inhibits cell wall formation.
CARBAPENEMS

it is a chemicals that kill or suppress virus by either destroying virions or inhibiting their ability to replicate.
ANTIVIRAL DRUGS
Once the MO is identified in the lab, the antibiotic therapy is tailored by using the most narrow-spectrum, least toxic drug based on C&S results
DEFINITIVE THERAPY
It occurs when the antibiotics reduce or completely eliminate the normal bacterial flora.
SUPERINFECTION
Binds to Ca, Mg, and Al metallic ions to form complexes which reduces absorption of the drug when administered together with milk, antacids and iron salts
