Infectious Disease (ID) Flashcards
Cmax: MIC (concentration-dependent)
aminoglycosides, quinolones, daptomycin
AUC: MIC
vancomycin, macrolides, tetracyclines, polymyxins
Time> MIC (time-dependent)
beta-lactams (penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems)
Natural penicillins (Penicillin G)
Cover gram-positive cocci (Streptococci and Enterococci), gram-positive anaerobes (mouth flora)
Aminopencillins (PO: amoxicillin (Moxatag), IV:ampicillin)
Adds gram-negative coverage (HNPE)
Aminopenicillin + beta-lactamase inhibitor (clavulanate, sulbactam, tazobactam)
Adds MSSA, more resistant strains of Gram-negative bacteria (HNPEK), and Gram-negative anaerobes (B. fagilis)
Extended-spectrum penicillin + beta-lactamase inhibitor (piperacillin/tazobactam)
Adds expanded coverage of other gram-negative bacteria (CAPES), Pseudomonas.
Antistaphylococcal penicillins (IV: nafcillin, oxacillin; PO: dicloxacillin)
- Only covers Streptococci and MSSA
* No renal dose adjustment
HNPEK
H. influenzae (gram-negative bacilli or coccobacilli) Neisseria sp. (gram-negative cocci) Proteus mirabilis (gram-negative rods) E. coli (gram-negative rods) Klebsiella spp. (gram-negative rods)
CAPES (all gram-negative)
Citrobacter Acinetobacter Providencia Enterobacter Serratia Pseudomonas
Atypicals (have no cell wall)
Chlamydia spp.
Legionella spp.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Penicillin class trends
- All cover Enterococcus (except antistaph PNCs)
- Do not cover atypicals or MRSA
Natural penicillins
PO: Penicillin V Potassium
IV: Penicillin G aqueous
IM: Penicillin G Benzathine (Bicillin L-A)
1st gen cephalosporins (IV: cefazolin; PO: cephalexin)
Cover Staph, Strep, PEK, mouth anaerobes
PO Keflex: good for outpatient tx of strep throat, MSSA skin infections
IV Cefazolin: commonly used for surgical ppx
2nd gen: IV/IM/PO cefuroxime (Ceftin)
Better gram-negative coverage (HNPEK)
Cefotetan and cefoxitin have anaerobic activity (B. fragilis)
3rd gen: PO cefdinir; IV/IM ceftriaxone; IV/IM cefotaxime; PO cefpodoxime, IV/IM ceftazidime, IV ceftazidime/avibactam
Group 1: IV ceftriaxone, PO cefdinir (less Staph coverage, but better Strep coverage)
Group 2: ceftazidime, ceftazidime/avibactam (cover Pseudomonas)
