Penicillins Flashcards
Narrow Spectrum Penicillins
Penicillin G and V
Penicillinase- resistant penicillins
Dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacilin
Extended- spectrum antibiotics
amoxicillin, ampicillin, piperacillin
beta-lactamase inhibitors
clavulanate (w amoxicillin) …. tazobactam w piperacillin and sulbactam with ampicillin
bacitracin and fosfomycin
inhibit cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis - block steps in formation of MurNAc-GlcNAc (disaccharide precursors)
fosfomycin
inhibits enolpyruvyl transferase - enzyme that catalyzes condensation of UDP- GlcNAc with phosphoenolpyruvate to UDP-MurNAc
vancomycin
binds to D-alanyl-D-alanine
name the beta-lactams
penicillins, carbapenems, cephalosporins and a monobactam antibiotic named AZTREONAM
narrow spectrum penicillins - active against?
many gram POSITIVE cocci
penicillinase-resistant penicillins - active against?
some strains of penicillinase producing STAPHYLOCOCCI
extended spectrum penicillins - active agains?
some gram NEGATIVE bacilli & ANAEROBIC & gram POSITIVE organisms
penicillin antibiotics structure
beta-lactam ring fused to thiazolidine ring w unique R group for each antibiotic
penicillin stable in gastric acid &given orally
amoxicillin and penicillin V
acid labile penicillin
piperacillin
penicillins widely distributed to CNS?
NO.
penetrate CSF?
yes, with intravenous administration - meningitis
penicillins excreted in bile
ampicillin and nafcillin
renal tubular secretion inhibited by?
probenecid
penicillin G administered IM - forms?
procaine penicillin G and benzathine penicillin G
penicillin G and V (narrow spectrum) treat
streptococci (+pneumococci), meningococci and spirochetes(treponema pallidum)
