Exam 8 Flashcards
Fxn of Penicillins

acute otitis media species
- s. pneumo
- hib
- moraxella catarrhalis
side chains added to what part of penicillin?
6 aminopenicillanic acid
other fxns of penicillin binding proteins
cell shape and septum formation during division of cell
penicillins activate what in bacteria
autolysins (murein hydrolases)
penicillins used often in combo with:
aminoglycoside (gentamycin)
Penicillin G’s downfall
cant pass through porin channels
P. aeruginosa resistance mechanisms
lack of porins, active efflux
P. aeruginosa, E. coli, N gonorrhoeae
active efflux of PCNs
PCN not affected by food
Amoxicillin
Highly protein bound penicillins
Nafcillin, Oxacillin, Dicloxacillin
PCN poor penetration
CNS, eye, prostate
What blocks tubular secretion of PCN
Probenecid
major antigenic determinant for PCN
Benzypenicilloyl
Oral administration PCN
least sensitizing
topical administration PCN
most sensitizing
Most common reaction to PCN
Type I HSN rxn
Methicillin
most common cause of acute interstitial nephritis
Ampicillin and Amoxicillin
cause skin rashes that are not allergic
Large doses of PCH=excess Na and K=…
cardiac and renal toxicity
PCN intrathecally into CSF
Seizures
Natural PCNS
PCN G, PCN V Potassium, PCN G Procaine, PCN G Benzathine
Penicillinase Resistant Penicillins (anti-Staph PCNS)
Methicillin, Nafcillin, Oxacillin
Extended Spectrum PCNS
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin. Greater GN activity
Antipseudomonal PCNS
Ticarcillin+Clavulanate Potassium, Piperacillin+Tazobactam
B lactamase inhibitors
clavulanic acid, tazobactam
PCN G
NATURAL PCN
- pH of gastric juice destroys, food interferes with absorption
- Parenteral use
- Probenicid increases plasma and CNS levels of CSF
- ACTIVE AGAINST MANY GP AND GN COCCI, spirochetes
- INACTIVE AGAINST GN BACILLI
- USE FOR NON RESISTANT STAPH and STREP
- C. PERFRINGENS AND TETANI
- SYPHILIS
- ACTINOMYCES ISRALEII
- NOT EFFECTIVE AGAINST ENTEROCOCCAL
N. Gonorrhoea
3rd Gen Cephalosporin
Anthrax
Cipro is good initial drug
PCN V Potassium
NATURAL PCN
- MORE STABLE THAN PCN G IN ACID (can be absorbed in GIT
- LESS ACTIVE THAN PCN G
- only use for minor infections
PCN G Procaine, PCN G Benzathine
NATURAL PCN
- Slow release from injected area
- injections into gluteus maximus/thigh
- avoid nerves–permanent neuro damage
- Resistance to Strep pneumo pneumonia and gonorrhea
PCN G Procaine
NATURAL PCN
Last several days
1. S. PYOGENES (GABHS)
PCN G Benzathine
NATURAL PCN 26 days 1. Strep pharyngitis 2. RF prophylaxis (GAS) 3. Syphilis
Nafcillin
Penicillinase resistant penicillins-anti staph penicillin
- IV administration is preferred (acid inactivation)
- SERIOUS STAPH INFECTIONS
- doses don’t need to be adjusted in renal failure
- bulkier side chain-resistant to destruction by b lactamase
- MOST RESISTANT TO BREAKDOWN
- drug of choice for PCNase + S. aureus
- PENETRATES CNS AND CAN BE USED FOR STAPH MENINGITIS
- Not used for GN aerobes
Oxacillin
Penicillinase resistant penicillins-anti staph penicillin
- IV administration is preferred (acid inactivation)
- SERIOUS STAPH INFECTIONS
- doses don’t need to be adjusted in renal failure
- bulkier side chain-resistant to destruction by b lactamase
- drug of choice for PCNase + S. aureus
- not used for GN aerobes
MRSA
VANCOMYCIN
Ampicilin
EXTENDED SPECTRUM PCNS
- can be given IV
- need to be adjusted for renal failure
- susceptible to b lactamase
- SE: DIARRHEA, RASH, decreased effectiveness with OCPS
- Better than PCN G for GN bacteria
- EXTENDED SPECTRUM: HELPSS ME
- H. flu
- E. coli
- L. monocyt
- P. mirab
- Salmonella
- S. pyogenes/S. pneumo
- M. catarrhalis
- E. faecalis
Amoxicillin
EXTENDED SPECTRUM PCNS
- can use lower dose b/c better absorbed in GI
- need to be adjusted for renal failure
- susceptible to b lactamase
- SE: DIARRHEA, RASH, decreased effectiveness with OCPS
- Better than PCN G for GN bacteria
- EXTENDED SPECTRUM: HELPSS ME
- H. flu
- E. coli
- L. monocyt

- M. catarrhalis
- E. faecalis
Ticarcillin + Clavulanate Potassium
ANTIPSEUDOMONAL PCN
- semisynthetic
- adjust for renal fxn
- TX GN aerobic bacilli and mixed anaerobic infections
- Excess Na problematic for CHF or renal failure
- can prolong bleeding time
- CAN USE WITH AMINOGLYCOSIDE (DONT MIX)
- must monitor for resistance
Tiementin
mixed aerobic-anaerobic infections-intrabdominal with B. fragilis (preferred being metronidazole)
Piperacillin + Tazobacam
ANTIPSEUDOMONAL PCN
- if CREATININE clearance is <40: dosage must be adjusted
- tx of GN aerobic bacilli/ mixed aerobic/anaerobic infxns
