1
Q

minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC)

Q

mutant prevention concentration (MPC)

A

the concentration of the least susceptible single-step mutant
in theory, kills them all so mutant so they cant form

Q

bacteriostatic

A

stop bacteria from multiplying: don’t kill them
MBC much larger than MIC
elimination of infection requires host immune response
requires an immunocompetent patient

Q

bactericidal

A

kill bacteria if concentrations reach MBC for a certain period of time
MBC at or near the MIC
preferred for immunosuppressed animals
preferred for severely ill patients

Q

bactericidal antimicrobials are not always bactericidal

A

static at concentration below MBC
dose dependent
bacteria dependent
bacterial must be multiplying for cidial to work

after plasma concentration decline below the MIC/MBC

8
Q

mechanisms of PAE

A

decreased virulence of bacteria
development of abnormal cell wall or septum
increased susceptibility to host defenses
persistence at site of infection
only occurs with some drugs and is bacteria-dependent

Q

pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic interaction

A

predict the success of antimicrobial therapies
relate concentration of drug to MIC of the pathogens
vary by class of drug
vary with each pathogen
drug-bug interaction

16
Q

aerobic bacteria

A

gram +
streptococci
staphylococci
gram -
respiratory pathogens
enteric pathogens

17
Q

anaerobic bacteria

A

gram +
gram -

18
Q

penicillins

A

active against streptococci, but NOT staphylococci
NOT active against gm - (Cell wall blocks)
active against most gm + and gm - anaerobes

19
Q

aminoglycosides

A

active against staphylococci but NOT streptococci
active against respiratory and enteric gm -
NO activity against anaerobes

20
Q

macrolides

A

active against gm + aerobes
active against respiratory gm - but NOT enteric
active against most gm + anaerobes

21
Q

facultative anaerobes

A

are aerobes
can grow in anaerobic conditions
culture as aerobes
test susceptibility in aerobic conditions
in vitro susceptibility may not equal in vivo susceptibility

22
Q

additive/indifferent

A

2+2=4
used to extend spectrum
does not enhance activity of either

23
Q

synergism

A

what we hope for
combination enhances activity
static alone, cidial together
2+2=6

24
Q

antagonism

A

what we worry about
2-+2=2
activity of the combination is less than sum

25
first questions for antibacterial use
is an antibacterial necessary
26
use an antimicrobial when
bacterial infection systemic
27
do not use an antimicrobial when
viral infection fungal infection parasitic infection
28
maybe use an antimicrobial when
protozoal infection bacterial infection-local
29
intravenous judicious use
highest concentrations highest risk of adverse effects severe systemic illness owner comfort level/animal temperament
30
IM/SC judicious use
bioavailability is often complete risk of drug toxicity less than IV injection site reactions owner comfort level/animal temperatment
31
oral judicious use
ileus-gi too slow colitis-gi too fast malabsorption drug interaction
32
transdermal judicious use
not recommended no no no
33
others routes of administration for judicious use
topical-eye,skin, wound inhaled intraarticular/regional limb perfusion
34
site of infection
for most pathogens, the site of infection is the interstitial fluid protein binding is a major determinant of drug distribution of ISF low protein bound drugs have good destruction highly protein bound drugs have limited distribution>80%
35
site of infection-exception to the rule
CNS, eye, prostate, bronchus, testes protective barriers that consist of tight junction between the endothelial limited drug movement into these areas lipids solubility or active transport
36
site of infection-intracellular infection
lipophilic drugs have better penetration into cell than do hydrophilic drugs
37
site of infection-abscesses and granulomas
drug diffusion slow lower cmax slower equilibrium lower blood supply to the area treatment unsuccessful without draining if you can drain and lavage the abcsess, antibacterial may not be necessary if can not drain-choose a more lipophilic drug. treat for al long time
38
local tissue factors
affect the efficacy of some drugs purulent debris acidic environment hemoglobin/hemorrhages anaerobic conditions/necrotic tissue-decreased blood supply
39
choosing an antibiotic
empiric treatment know which bacteria are commonly involved in which infections choose a drug likely to treat that bacteria
