Inhibitors of bacterial cell wall synthesis 1 Flashcards
Two forms of long-acting penicillin G and their administration
Procaine penicillin G and Benzathine penicillin G
Intramuscular administration
Benzathine penicillin G plasma concentration
Low plasma concentration of the drug for a few weeks
Procaine penicillin G plasma concentration
Higher plasma concentrations of penicillin for about 24 hours
Extended spectrum Carboxypenicillins
Carbenicillin
Ticarcillin
Extended spectrum Ureidopenicillins
Piperacillin
Mezlocillin
Azlocillin
Extended spectrum Aminopenicillins
Ampicillin
Amoxicillin
Extended spectrum Ureidopenicillins active against
In addition to P. aureginosa, Selected gram-negative bacilli, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae
Penicillinase-Resistant Antistaphylococcal Penicillins
Methicillin Nafcillin Oxacillin (Isoxazolyl penicillin) Cloxacillin (Isoxazolyl penicillin) Dicloxacillin (Isoxazolyl penicillin)
Narrow-Spectrum Penicillins
Penicillin G
Penicillin V
First-generation cephalosporins
Cefazolin
Cephalexin
Second-generation cephalosporins
Cefuroxime
Cefprozil
Cefoxitin
Cefotetan
First-generation cephalosporins active against
Gram-positive cocci, such as pneumococci, streptococci, and staphylococci. They are also active against a few gram-negative enteric bacilli including E. coli and K. pneumoniae
Second-generation cephalosporins active against
Similar activity against gram-positive cocci as the first-generation while demonstrating increased activity against gram-negative bacilli
Avibactam active against
Several types of b-lactamases, including AmpC b-lactamases and other extended-spectrum b-lactamases expressed by cephalosporin-resistant gram-negative bacteria
Penicillin G - Clinical use
Gram-positive cocci Syphilis-Treponema pallidum Endocarditis- Viridans, streptococci, enterococci Meningitis - Meningococci Pneumonia -Pneumococci Streptococci Enterococci Gas gangrene – Clostridium perfringes Actinomyces
Penicillin G and V - Adverse effects
High dose: seizures Diarrhea Superinfections Psuedomembranous colitis Hypersensitivity: Uritcaria (hives) Anaphylactic shock Serum sickness Interstitial nephritis Hepatitis Rashes Fever Joint swelling Angioneurotic edema Pruritus, oral lesions, respiratory compromise,eosinophilia, hemolytic anemia, vasculitis Seizures (renal failure)
Penicillin G - Interactions
Probenecid: inhibits renal secretion – increased serum concentration
Benzathine: prolonged half-life.
