Infectious Disease 1: Background & Antibiotics By Drug Class Flashcards
What is the definition for a Transmissible Disease?
How is it spread? What is it also referred to as?
Person to Person
“Communicable”
“Contagious”
RxPrep p 336
What are 3 primary factors that impact ID treatment decisions?
- Bug (pathogen)
- Drug (antibiotic)
- Patient (host)
*must be considered together - these are not separate entities
RxPrep p 336
What are key infection characteristics?
Antibiotic Selection
- Infection site
- Infection severity
- Community- or Hospital-acquired
*presence determined by signs & symptoms
RxPrep p 337
What are key antibiotic characteristics?
Antibiotic Selection
- Spectrum of Activity
- Penetration Ability to Infxn Site
lipophilic drugs ~ better tissue pentration
RxPrep p 337
What are key patient characteristics?
Antibiotic Selection
- Age & Body Weight
- Renal & Hepatic Functions
- Allergies & Comorbidities
RxPrep p 337
CNS / Meningitis
Common Bacterial Pathogens for Select Sites of Infection
- Neiserria meningitidis (GN cocci)
- Strep pneumo (GP diplococci) & H. influenzae (GN rods)
- Listeria (GP rods), Group B Strep, & E. Coli (enteric GN rods)
Group 3 pathogens occur in younger & older patients
RxPrep p 337
Mouth
Common Bacterial Pathogens for Select Sites of Infection
