A

When administered together via IV, they have a synergistic

34
Q

A

When used TOGETHER, they are bacterocidal

35
Q

Streptogrammin spectrum

A

G+

36
Q

Adverse reactions of streptogrammins

A
  • Hepatotoxicity, N/V, pain, pruritus, rash

- INHIBIT THE P450 drug metabolizing system (think warfarin)

37
Q

What are the 5 Aminoglycosides

A 
Streptomycin IV/IM
Gentamycin IV/IM/TOPICAL
Tobramycin IV/IM/TOPICAL
Amikacin IV/IM
Neomycin ORAL/TOPICAL
38
Q

Are the Aminoglycosides static or cidal?

A

CIDAL under AEROBIC conditions only

39
Q

Aminoglycoside MOA

A

Irreversibly inhibit protein synthesis; 30s subunit

40
Q

What should Aminoglycosides always be combined with?

A

B-Lactam abx

  • B-lactams break down the cell wall
  • Aminoglycosides do the killing from the inside
41
Q

What is unique about the Aminoglycoside structure? What do Aminoglycosides require to work?

A

Large and polar, therefore must be actively transported in. This is an oxygen requiring process!

42
Q

We give a pt an aminoglycoside when there is a suspicion of (2 things):

A

Sepsis or endocarditis

43
Q

Aminoglycosides are the DOC for:

A

P. aeruginosa

44
Q

Why do we use a megadose of aminoglycosides once a day?

A

Concentration dependent killing

Have significant PAE

45
Q

Aminoglycoside toxicity

A

Ototoxicity
Nephrotoxicity
***Dependent on duration of TIME the CONCENTRATION of drug is used above threshold

46
Q

MOR against Aminoglycosides

A

-Deficiency of ribosomal receptors
-Lack of permeability into bacteria
-Enzymatic modification by bacteria
(cross-resistance: bacteria resistant to one aminoglycoside is likely resistant to another aminoglycoside)

47
Q

What are the 3 abx that bind to the 30s subunit?

A

59
Q

Which drug as the best CNS penetration?

A

Chloramphenicol (but incredibly toxic)

60
Q

Chloramphenicol MOR
