What are the two subdivisions of betalactams?
-penicllins
-cephalosporins
What is the mechanism of action for betalactams?
Cell wall inhibitors
What are the 4 main subdivisions of penicillins?
-benzyle penicllins
-aminopenicillins
-extendred spectrum penicillin
-anti-staphylococcal penicillins
What are the 4 main groups of cephalosporins?
-1st-4th generation
What do benzylpenicillins work against?
-aka pencillin G
Strep, anaerobes (gram positive and gram negative) exception is bacterioides fragilis
What are the aminopenillins?
-amoxillin
-ampicillin
What bacteria do aminopenicllins cover?
-strep, anaerobes (higher doses may be needed) exception is bacterioides fragilis, and some gram negative aerobes (esp. in the urine)
Aminopenicillins and beta-lactamase inhibitiors work against what bacteira?
(clavulonic acid and sulbactam
-same as aminopenicillins plus
-Staph (not MRSA)
-bacterioides
Cephalosporin coverage?
-gram negative spectrum increases as generation increases
-gram positive spectrum may decrease as generation increases
-anaerobic varies
What are the first generation cephalosporins?
-cefazolin and cephalexin
What is the spectrum of first generation cephalosporines?
-Strep, maybe staph,
What is the second generation cephalosproin drug name?
Cefoxitin
What is the spectrum of cefoxitin
-staph (no MRSA), strep,
-anaerobes (surgical prophylaxis for severe dental and gingival diseases
What are the 3rd generation cephalosporins?
Ceftiofur, Cefpodoxime, Cefovecin
What is the specturm for 3rd generation cephalosporins?
-Strep, Maybe Staph, Cefpodixme and cefovecin for gram negative anaerobes,
-gram negatives (high doser may be needed for ceftiofur)
Beta lactam antibiotics are excellent for what bacteria?
strep
What drug group in the beta lactams are better for staphyloccoci
Cephalosporins
What drug groups out of the beta lactams have better coverage for gram negatives?
Aminopenicillins (UTI) and 3rd generation cephalosporins
What betalactams have best anaerobic spectrum?
