Q

Potentiated sulfonamides

A
  1. Interfere with synthesis of folic acid
  2. Immunogenic - triggers hypersensitivity
    • type I: IgE mediated (swollen, red)
    • type II: cytotoxic (Immune mediated thrombocytopenia)
    • type III: immune complex deposition (lupus)
  3. Antacids interfere with absorption

22
Q

Chloramphenicol

A
  • Broad spectrum, inhibits ribosomal protein synthesis, bacteriostatic
  • Time-dependent 50 mg/kg TID
  • metabolized by the liver
  • Owners: aplastic anemia
  • anemia in animals is reversal
  • peripheral neuropathy in large breed dogs
23
Q

A
  • only use in resistant cases as last resort
  • Concentration dependant (use once daily high dose)
  • Absorption inhibited by antacids
  • Great for deep pyo
  • GI, Nuero signs
    • lowers threshold for seizures
24
Q

29
Q

bioavailability of cipro versus enrofloxacin

A

enrofloxacin has a more consistent bioavailability

30
Q

Doxycycline

A
  • Time dependent antibiotic: 5-10 mg/kg BID
  • used for resistent cases
  • very expensive, substituted with minocycline
  • anti-inflammatory properties
  • adverse affects
    • GI
    • yellow staining of teeth
    • esophageal strictures
31
Q

Topical AB

Mupirocin

A
  • Excellent for staph infections
  • rare resistance
  • minimal systemic absorption
32
Q

Topical AB

Polymixin B

A
  • Used for resistant Pseudomonas
  • binds to cell membrane and alters structure to make permeable => cell death
33
Q

AB you SHOULD NOT USE

Save for people

A
  1. Vancomycin
  2. Linezolid
  3. Synercid
34
Q

Long term AB therapy

A
  • Not recommended
  • Avoid pulse therapy
  • Consider all triggering factors before considering immune stimulation
35
Q

Conclusion

A
  1. Skin infections are secondary
  2. Try your best to identify underlying cause to avoid repetitive AB course that encourages resistence
  3. narrow spectrum first
  4. culture unresponsive cases before switching
