16
Q

cephalosporins
K:
INT:

A

K: half life short
INT: aminoglycosides, oral anticoags, probenecid

17
Q

SE of cephalosporins

A

cross rxn with PCN, thrombocytopenia/phlebitis, Red Man’s, superinfections

18
Q

what is at risk if cephalosporins are given with aminoglycosides

A

nephrotoxicity

19
Q

explain first gen cephalosporins: cefazolin, cephalexin

A

not used as much bc lots of SE, low beta lact resistance

20
Q

explain second gen cephalosporins: cefaclor, cefuroxine

A

have higher beta lact resistance

21
Q

explain third gen cephalosporins: ceftriaxone, ceftazidine

A

higher beta lact resistance, can cross BBB and penetrate CSF

22
Q

explain fourth gen cephalosporins: cefepime

A

have the most beta lact resist!! can cross BBB and penetrate CSF

23
Q

explain fifth gen cephalsporins: ceftaroline, ceftobiprole

A

target more resistant strains

24
Q

which cephalosporins have the most beta lactamase resistance

A

4th gen: cefepime
