What do antimicrobials treat?
Bacterial, Viral, and Fungal Infections
Adverse reactions of antibiotics? (Generally)
Hypersensitivity or Anaphylaxis, Toxicity, Lower Efficacy of contraceptives, superinfection, or increased efficacy of warfarin
Penicillin acts by doing what?
Destroying bacteria through weakening of cell wall
What is penicillin used for?
Strep Pneumonia, Viridans, and Pyogenes. First choice for Syphilis and meninigitis. Prophylaxis for endocarditis
Adverse effects of penicillin?
Anaphylaxis, Renal Impairment, Hyperkalemia (Increases with dosing)
Contraindications of penicillin?
Allergies, Cephalosporin (Allergy), and Kidney Dysfunction
Interactions of penicillin?
Aminoglycosides and oral contraceptives (makes them less efficacy)
How do cephalosporins work?
Destroy bacteria through weakening of cell wall
Use cephalosporins for?
Broad spectrum have high TI for postop infections, meningitis, and pelvic infections
Adverse effects of cephalosporins?
Anaphylaxis, Bleeding, Thrombophlebitis, Cross Allergy w/ penicillins, pseudomembranous colitis
Contraindications of cephalosporins
penicillin allergy, kidney dysfunction, and anticoagulant/antiplatelet/thrombolytics
Interactions with cephalosporins
Alcohol intolerances, probenecid because of decreased renal excretion
Carbapenems action?
Destroy bacteria cell wall
Carbapenems are used for
Pneumonia, Peritonitis, and UTIS
Adverse effect of Carbapenems?
Allergy, GI Symptoms, and Superinfection
Contraindications of Carbapenem?
Caution with renal impairment
Action of monobactams?
Destroy bacteria through destruction of cell wall
Frequent use of monobactams?

Adverse effects of Monobactams?
OTOTOXIC!!!!!!!!! Infusion reaction (Red Man), and Thrombophlebitis
Contraindications of Monobactam?
Renal Impairment, Infuse over 60 mins, very low TI
Tetracyclines actions?
Bacteriostatic prevents protein synthesis
Uses of tetracyclines?

AE’s of tetracycline?
GI symptoms, tooth discolor, hepatotoxic, photosensitive, superinfection of bowel
Contraindications of Tetracyclines
Renal Disease, Use during pregnancy stain deciduous teeth
Interactions of tetracyclines?
Calcium Heavy or Magnesium heavy items decrease absorption and decrease oral contraceptives efficacy
How do you take tetracyclines?
Give on empty stomach with water (except doxycycline & minocycline)
How do bacteriostatic inhibitors work? (Macrolides/Ketolides)

Contraindications of Macro/Keto-Lides
Liver Disease
Interactions of Macro/Keto-Lides
Antihistamines, Theophylline, Carbamazepine, and Warfarin
How should you give Macro/Keto-Lides?
On empty stomach with water

Aminoglycosides are used for?
E. Coli, Pneumonia, and Aeruginosa, also used for amebiasis and tapeworm
Aminoglycosides AE’s?
Ototoxic, Nephrotoxic (most important), neuromuscular blockade, hypersensitivity, and streptomycin
Contraindications of Aminoglycosides?
