Exam 5 Flashcards
Penicillin V
Natural penicillin
Like G, but acid stable
Narrow spec, Gm+, destroyed by beta-lactamase
Given orally, absorption is unstable
Penicillin G
Natural penicillin
Narrow spec, mostly Gm+
Destroyed by beta-lactamase
Given IV/IM w/ procaine, hydrolized in stomach acid
Naficillin Oxacillin Cloxacillin Dicloxacillin Methicillin
Beta-lactamase resistant penicillins Narrow spec Naficillin- Not AFfected by beta-lactamase Ox- resistant to change Methicillin- not used, toxic MRSA
Amoxicillin Ampicillin Ticarcillin Piperacillin Mezlocillin Carbenicillin
Broad/extended spec penicillins
None are penicillinase resistant!
Ampicillin- causes rash in px with mononucleosis
Sublactam
Clavulanic acid
Non-antibiotic beta-lactam ring compounds
Inhibit penicillinase
Usually given in combo with broad spec penicillins to occupy penicillinase
Cephalosporins
Ceph- or cef-
Broader spec
Greater resistance to beta-lactamases
Each generation has more Gm- activity & greater resistance than previous
SE: some allergic rxn in penicillin-sensitive px
Possibility of superinfxn
Imipenem
Carbapenem (penicillin analog) Very broad spec Given IV Better vs Gm+ Metabolized in kidney to nephrotoxin, given with cilastatin to inh that enzyme
Meropenem
Carbapenem (penicillin analog) Resistant to beta-lactamase Very broad spec Given IV, enters CNS more readily More effective against Gm-
Aztreonam
Monobactam IV/IM Not affected by beta-lactamases Only useful with aerobic Gm- (E. coli) Not x-reactive with penicillin allergic px SE: seizures
Vancomycin
Binds to dialanine residues on subunits of cell walls
Prevents x-linking
Used vs Gm+ staph infxn
IV, except for pseudomembranous colitis (given oral, pseudotopical)
SE: nephrotoxic
Ototoxic
Rapid IV -> causes histamine release (redman/redneck syndrome)
Resistance (dialanine substituted by lactic acid)
Televancin
Dalbavancin
Lipoglycopeptides Act both like vancomycin and cell membrane distruptors SE: renal damage Fetal damage Metallic taste in mouth
Bacitracin
Inh recycling of bactoprenol carrier
Used vs Gm+ cells
Only given topically, extremely nephrotoxic
Fosfomycin
Blocks synth of n-acetylmuramic acid
Used vs Gm- (E. coli)
For uncomplicated UTI
Cycloserine
Inh incorporation of alanine into n-acetylmuramic acid
Used vs Mycobacterium TB
SE: sedation, tremor, psychosis
Erythromycin
Macrolide Reversible binds to 50s subunit Inhibits translocation of mRNA Inhibits binding of tRNA to P site of ribosome SE: GI upset Strong inh of P450 Liver damage, cardiac arrhythmias Used vs Gm+
Clarithromycin
Azithromycin
Telithromycin
Macrolides
Inhibit bacterial protein synth by inhibiting an enzyme
C- oral stability, H. pylori
Az- T1/2 of 3 days
T- induces less resistance, readily transported out of cell
SE: inh P450
Severe hepatotoxicity
Worsening MG
Block cholinergic receptors in mm (atropine)
Streptomycin
Aminoglycoside Irreversibly binds to 30S subunit Can inh tRNA binding all along mRNA Including initiation site Irreversible in mRNA, given IM SE: very ototoxic very nephrotoxic (most common cause of drug-related nephrotox) High doses --> decrease ACh and ACh receptors Preg cat D Targets aerobic Gm-
Gentamycin Tobramycin Neomycin Amikacin Kanamycin Netilmicin
Aminoglycosides
Inhibit bacterial protein synth by inhibiting an enzyme
Neomycin- VERY nephrotoxic, used topically or orally
Tetracycline
Reversible binds to 30S subunit (static!)
Inh binding of tRNA to A site
SE: binds to cations Ca++, Fe++, Al+++
Deposited in bones & teeth of fetus (Preg Cat D)
Degrades with time into renal/hepatotoxin
Targets: rickettsia, spriochetes, helicobacter, legionella
Doxycycline
Minocycline
Tigecycline
Tetracyclines
Inh binding of tRNA to A site by binding to 30S subunit
