UTIs are treated with a short course ofAbx

21
Q

Nitrofurontin

TMP/SMZ

Cephalexin

Resistance high to many of the antibiotics used i.e. Ciprofloxacin

22
Q

complicated cases of UTI tx?

A

longer course orIVantibiotics

Phenazopyridine (Pyridium) may help with symptoms

GIVES SOME RELIEF with uncomplicated UTI until C&S comes back

23
Q

Pyelonephritis Tx?

A

Ceftriaxone

24
Q

Pyelonephritis facts?

A

Out patient longer therapy

Bacteriogram (local resistance patterns)

Urine cultures for complicated, recurrent or bacteremia

dirty urine with stone - treat them aggressively cause it can back up and kill the kidney , dont get lost in a fever, sometimes the fever means nothing when it comes to kidney

25
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) class?
Cephalosporin, 3rd generation **can use even if PCN allergy cause extremely low cross over **
26
Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) | MOA?
bactericidal; inhibits cell wall mucopeptide synthesis
27
azithromycin (Zithromax) | class?
Macrolides
28
azithromycin (Zithromax) | MOA?
binds to 50S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis
29
azithromycin (Zithromax) | adverse rxn?
Caution QT-prolongation
30
doxycycline (Vibramycin) | class?
Tetracyclines
31
doxycycline (Vibramycin) | MOA?
Mechanism of Action
bacteriostatic; binds to 30S and possibly 50S ribosomal subunit(s), inhibiting protein synthesis
32
doxycycline (Vibramycin) | adverse rxn?
Doxycycline can cause permanent yellowing or graying of the teeth in children younger than 8 years old.
33
Levofloxacin (Levaquin) | class?
Fluoroquinolones
34
Levofloxacin (Levaquin) | MOA?
bactericidal; inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase
35
Levofloxacin (Levaquin) | BBW?
Tendinitis/Tendon Rupture assoc. w/ incr. tendinitis/tendon rupture risk in all ages; risk further incr. in older pts >60 yo, Avoid in Myasthenia Gravis fluoroquinolones may exacerbate muscle weakness in pts w/ myasthenia gravi
36
Acute prostatitis generally caused by the same organisms that cause ?
UTI
37
Most commonly gram-negative bacteria, especially ?
Enterobacteriaceae (typically Escherichia coli or Proteus species).
38
Sexually transmitted pathogens, such as ___________ and _______________, are possible etiologies in sexually active men, who may have concomitant urethritis or epididymitis
Neisseria gonorrhoeae Chlamydia trachomatis
39
Patients with acute bacterial prostatitis are typically acutely ___.
ill
40
A urine Gram stain and culture should be obtained in all men suspected of _____________ to identify the bacterial etiology
having acute prostatitis
41
Prostatitis then think?
Think HIV, immunocompromised especially in young man with prostatitis
42
Prostatitis tx?
Treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) or a fluoroquinolone (Levaquin), unless drug resistance is suspected. Longer treatment 4 to 12 weeks
43
Prostatitis IV ampicillin therapy if?
sepsis or co-morbidities
44
trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) | class?
Sulfonamides
45
trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) | MOA?
Selectively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (folate antagonist) and sulfamethoxazole competes with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), inhibiting folic acid synthesis
46
trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) | caution if ?
Sulfur allergy methemoglobinemia photosensitivity
47
ampicillin/ sulbactam (Unasyn) class?
Penicillins IV therapy
48
ampicillin/ sulbactam (Unasyn) MOA?
bactericidal; inhibits cell wall mucopeptide synthesis / inhibits beta-lactamases
49
ampicillin/ sulbactam (Unasyn) caution / interaction?
alters GI flora bactericidal activity requires bacterial growth lowers seizure threshold
