What is the mechanism of resistance and mode of action of beta-lactams?
inactivation by bacterial B lactamases (chromosomal mutations (gram +) or plasmid mediated resistance (gram +/-)
change in porin size
change in penicillin binding protein structure
what is a good antibiotic choice for a gram - aerobe and why?
Aminoglycosides are associated with least endotoxin release
fluoroquinoloneshave excellent distribution, wide therapeutic range
What are conditions that penicillins, cephalosporins and imipenum used for?
(B-lactamases)
urinary (1st gen), skin, respiratory
What drug is inactive in acidic environment and in low oxygen tension?
aminoglycoside (e.g. neomycin, gentamycin, amikacin, streptomycin)
Which drug has irreversible ototoxicity?
aminoglycosides
What can you do to prevent renal toxicity with aminoglycosides?
maintain hydration
once a day dosing
reduce conditions that affect renal prostaglandins (hypotension, shock, endotoxemia, renal or cardiac dz, NSAID, metabolic acidosis
What spectrum does the fluoroquinolones group have? e.g. enrofloxacin, marbo, cipro, orbi, difloxicin
broad gram -
aerobes
what are 2 side effects of using fluoroquinolones?
cartilage damage if < 9-18 mo
acute blindness in cats
Which drugs can be used for the prostate?
Desperate Times Call For CHocolate Milkshakes
doxycycline, Trimethoprim/sulfonamide combos
clindamycin, flouroquinolones, chloramphenicol, erythromycin=macrolide)
what are 2 side effects of TMS?

What antibiotics cross the BBB?
Timid DOgs Rarely MElt CHeese (For 3 Cents)
or Dirty Minds require full soap cleaning
Chloramphenicol (LIPID soluble and distributes many places), Metronidazole; TMS, doxycycline, rifampin,
flouroquinolones (sometimes)
3rd gen cephalosporin (if inflammation)
How does the acidic, hyperosmolar hypoxic environment of purulent exudate affect antibiotic efficacy?
A. inactivates aminoglycosides (O2)
B. impaired efficacy B-lactams (hyerosmol)
C. slower growth microorganisms = decreased efficacy of bactericidal drugs
D. impaired phagocytic activity of leukocytes
E. all of the above
E =ALL
inactivates aminoglycosides (O2/acid)
impaired efficacy B-lactams (hyerosmol)
slower growth microorganisms = decreased efficacy of bactericidal drugs
impaired phagocytic activity of leukocytes
Which drugs are affected by an acidic pH?
Erythromycin (macrolide) inhibited
B-lactams less activity (penicillins inactivated at (<6.0)
Aminoglycosides and fluoroquine less effective
What antibiotics are good for urine? ACIDIC? basic?
BaTq v…
acid urine: B-lactams and TMS basic urine (FQ, aminoglycosides, mac and linc)
BATQV have good concentration in urine (vancomycin)
True/False: As the generation increases, the efficacy against gram positive and anaerobes increases.
FALSE
higher generation = less effective against gram (+) and anaerobes
Antibiotics for the GB?
