Bacteriostatic Inhibitors of protein synthesis function, and 8 classes included
Inhibit growth and replication, do not kill bacteria, include
- tetracyclines
- macrolides
- clindamycin
- chloramphenicol
- dalfopristin/quinipristin
- Linezolid
- Retamulin/mupirocin
- Tigecycline
Tetracyclines spectrum (including 9 specific ones)
Broad speectrum including
1) rickettsia
2) spirochettes
3) brucella
4) chlamydia
5) mycoplasma
6) vibrio cholerae
7) helicobacter pylori
8) borrelia burgdorferi
9) bacillus anthracu
3 common uses of tetracyclines
1) acne
2) peptic ulcers
3) peridontal disease
3Tetracycline ADRs
Photosensitivty, bone and teeth discoloration, suprainfection
Tetracycline mech of action
Bind 30s ribosome preventing protein synthesis, actively transported into cell via energy dependent process only present in bacterial cells
Tetracycline resistance
Decreased uptake, increased exclusion of tetracyclines
Tetracycline absorption
GI absorption limited because of chelates (with any metal ion), topical use too
4 tetracyclines available
1) tetracycline (short acting, no food)
2) denecocycline (medium acting, no food)
3) doxyxcline(long acting, no food)
4) minocycline (long acting, food okay)
Fanconi syndrome
Ingestion of outdated tetracycline can cause renal tubular dysfunction leading to renal failure
Macrolides spectrum
Broad spectrum
Macrolides include 3 drugs
1) erythromycin
2) azithromycin
3) clarithromycin
Macrolides resistance
Pumping out macrolides or modifying target ribosomes
Macrolide mechanism of action
Bind 50S ribosome subunit to prevent protein synthesis
Erythromycin spectrum
Most gram + and few gram -, first choice for bordatella pertussis and cornybacterium diptheria
Erythromycin is often seen as an alternative for ____ in those with an allergy
PCN G
Erythromycin ADRs
- suprainfection
- QT prolongation and sudden cardiac death (torsades de pointes)
Clarithromycin spectrum
Most gram + and few gram -, more active than erythromycin in certain situations
Clarithromycin ADRs
- Very few
- Potential QT prolongation
Clarithromycin and azithromycin are often prescribed over erythromcyin because of one distinct advantage
They do not typically cause nausea and diarrhea
Azithromycin spectrum
Less active than erythromycin on strep/staph, more active on gram - bacterium
Azithromycin ADR’s
- Cannot be taken with food
- Increased risk of heart arrhythmias
Clindamycin mechanism of action
Inhibition of the 50S ribosome to prevent protein synthesis
Clindamycin absorption
-Parenterally/IV, topical, oral
Clindamycin excretion
Mostly hepatic metabolism
Clindamycin treats
Gram + and -, DOC for Bacteroides
Clindamycin ADR
Can cause psudomembranous colitis from Cdiff
Chloramphenicol mechanism of action
Inhibit protein synthesis through binding the 50s ribosomal subunit
Chloramphenicol spectrum
Broad spectrum but often last resort, DOC for typhoid fever and effective against bacterial meningitis
Chloramphenicol absorption
GI route
