Q

What are the two important microbiological findings that guide clinicians when selecting an appropriate ATB?

A
  1. Identification de l’agent pathogène (lorsque c’est possible)
  2. Analyse de sensibilité aux antibiotiques

Q

What are the two steps used to identify a pathogen?

A

spécimen clinique —> laboratoire de microbiologie

  1. Examen direct (on the specimen)
    • Gram test —> preliminary result just to narrow down… no ID of species at this point
  2. Confirmation
    • Culture and molecular biology (PCR/mass spectrometry… but not used as much, still quite new)

Q

What are the 4 big groups of bacteria targeted by ATP according to microbiological analyses?

A
  1. Gram +: peau et tissus mous
  2. Gram -: infections urinaires
  3. Intracellulaires/atypiques: ITSS
  4. Anaérobies: infections intra-abdominales —> these bacteria are usually already found in the GI tract

Q

What are the two kinds of modes d’action?

A
  1. Bacteriostatic: inhibit growth of bacteria w/o killing them… reversible effect
  2. Bactericidal: kill bacteria, irreversible, typically used for more severe infections (bacteremia, endocarditis, meningitis, etc.)

Q

What are the two spectres d’activités?

A
  1. Spectre étroit: specific treatment for an identified pathogen (ex: subcutaneous SARM infection —> IV vancomycin)
  2. Spectre étendu: empiric treatment depending on the “syndrome infectieux”, polymicrobial infection (ex: PAC sans germe identifié —> Ceftriaxone)

Q

Fourth and fifth generation céphalos:

A
31
Q

Carbapenems:

A

Atomic bomb of antibiotics… kills everything in its path BUT used too much therefore resistance has started to develop

32
Q

Monobactams:

A

Only one type… Aztreonam

Pure anti-gram negative —> enterobacteria, Pseudomonas

  • Used in resistance cases or allergies
33
Q

What is the most common glycopeptide?

A

VANCOMYCIN!

34

A
40
Q

Aminosides:

A
41
Q

Macrolides:

A
42
Q

Clindamycin:

A

prolonged postantibiotic effect —> It may decrease toxin production and increase microbial opsonization and phagocytosis

43
Q

What are the 3 main ATB resistance mechanisms used by bacteria?

A
  1. Production of an enzyme that modifies the ATB (ex: B-lactamase)
  2. Alteration of the permeability of the cell membrane (GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA… ex: pseudomonas and carbapenems)
  3. Alter the “cible” of the ATB (mostly GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA)
44
Q

What is carbapénémase?

A
45
Q

What are the two ways to alter membrane permeability?

A
  1. Loss of porins:
    • Can’t get in anymore
  2. Pompes à efflux:
    • Gets in… pumped right out
46
Q

How does altering the cible work?

A
