Exam 1 stuff Flashcards
first generation cephalosporin activity
G+ (MSSA and streptococci)
Moderate activity against G- rods (E.coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis)
second-generation cephalosporin activity
G+ species
add G- including mortaxella catarrhalis, haemophilus influenzae, and some enterobacterales
Cephamycines: activity against many anaerobes
third-generation cephalosporin activity
lose some G+ activity (but retains good strep pneumoniae)
much more active against G-
fourth generation cephalosporin activity
CEFEPIME
broadest spectrum
good G+ and G- including pseudomonas
Fifth-generation cephalosporin activity
CEFTAROLINE
anti-MRSA activity
good G+ activity
NMTT group associated with
-hypoprothrombinemia and bleeding tendency because it inhibits Vit K epoxide reductase
-disulfiram-like reaction
which third-generation cephalosporin is contraindicated in neonates because it displaces bilirubin
ceftriaxone
which drug has the most potent anti-MRSA activity
ceftaroline fosamil (prodrug)
which drug binds to Fe molecules to travel through Fe channels making it a poor substrate for B lactamases
Cifiderocol (siderophore)
has stability to hydrolysis by all B lactamases including class B

cefazolin
first gen oral agents
cephalexin
cefadroxil

third gen parenteral agents
cefotaxime
ceftriaxone
ceftazidime w/avibactam
ceftolozane w/tazobactam
third gen oral agents
cefixime
cefpodoxime proxetil
cefdinir
third generation cephalosporins that maintain strep pneumoniae coverage
cefotaxime
ceftriaxone
cefdinir
cefpodoxime
ceftolozane/tazobactam (clinically used for G- infections)
helminth
multicellular eukaryote
complex organ systems
rudimentary NS
protozoa
single-celled eukaryotes
most free living
fungi
eukaryotes
rigid cell wall
ergosterol in membrane
diagnosis for fungi
calcofluor white stain
viruses
do not have cells
contain nucleic acid genome surrounded by a capsid
bacteria
single-celled prokaryotes
bacteria characteristics
no nucleus, flagella, cell wall, 70S ribosome, pili, capsule, G- have outer membrane
gram + have _______ layer of peptidoglycan in the cell wall
thick
Gram - have _______ layer of peptidoglycan in the cell wall
thin
acid fast bacteria are characterized by
wax like nearly imperable cell walls
contain mycolic acid
MIC
lowest concentration of abx that is effective against bacterial infection
lowest drug concentration that stops microbial growth
cell wall synthesis inhibitors
beta-lactams
vancomycin
