Q

how are aminoglycosides administered?

Q

what do you use for hepatic coma?

why?

A

Neomycin

to decrease the coliform flora, causing a decrease in the production of ammonia that causes the levels of free nitrogen to decrease in the bloodstream.

Q

how do tetracyclines work?

A

Bind to 30S subunit, interfere with the attachment of aminoacyl tRNA to acceptor site, prevents addition of amino acids to the growing peptide

A

teeth or bones

Calcium, Magnesium, Iron

Minocycline

pregnancy, children, renal insufficiency

17
Q

in what gram positive bacteria are tetracyclines used?

in what gram negative bacteria are tetracyclines used?

in what spirochete bacteria are tetracyclines used?

in what Atypical bacteria are tetracyclines used?

In the previous question, in which bacteris is a tetracycline the drug of choice?

A

G. Positive: Clostridium, Listeria, Corynebacterium, Bacilus Antracis

G. Negative: Y. pestis, H. pylori

Spirochetes: T. pallidum, Borrelia

Atypical: Rickettsia (DOC), Chlamydia, Mycoplasma

18
Q

what are the side effects of tetracyclines?

A
  1. Teeth: permanent brown discoloration & ill-formed teeth
  2. Stunted bone growth
  3. Phototoxicity on exposure to UV light- demeclocycline, doxycycline (seen in long term and exposure and in those sensitive to UV rays)
  4. In Super infections will cause Diarrhea, Candida
  5. Nephrotoxicity- doxycycline safe
  6. Fanconi’s syndrome: A form of renal tubular acidosis is attributed to use of outdated tetracyclines
19
Q

how does Chloramphenicol work?

what effect does it have on CYP 450?

A

Bind to 50S subunit, inhibits the activity of peptidyltransferase and inhibits the transfer of the peptide chain from P site to acceptor site

CYP 450 inhibitor

20
Q

in which bacteria will chloramphenicol be highly active?

for what Anaerobic infections will you use tetracycline?

A
  • Salmonella, H. influenza, N. meningitides
  • bacteroides fragilis
21
Q

what side effects will chloramphenicol have?

A
  1. In Superinfections can cause candidiasis
  2. Bone marrow suppression - dose dependent- leads to aplastic anemia
  3. Grey baby syndrome- occurs in neonates- due to deficient hepatic glucuronosyltransferase- lack of effective glucuronic acid conjugation degradation of chloramphenicol
  4. C/F: vomiting, abdominal distension, cyanosis, refusal to feed, CV collapse, death
22
Q

what are the Macrolides drugs?

A
  1. Erythromycin
  2. Clarithromycin
  3. Azithromycin
  4. Roxithromycin, Telithromycin
23
Q

how do macrolides work?

A

Bind to 50S subunit, prevent the translocation of peptidyl tRNA from A site to P site and blocks the formation of initiation complexes.

24
Q

how can bacteria develop resistance to macrolides?

A
  1. Gram positive: efflux pump, production of methylase enzyme (enzyme will inactivate drug)
  2. Enterobacteriacease: formation of drug metabolizing esterases
  3. Aquired resistance: specific mutation of ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit
25

A

acid liable

cyp450 inhibitor, when used with Terfenadine/Astemizole/Cisapride; can cause prolongation of QT

erythromycin can cause what side effects?

A

diarrhea by stimulating motilin receptors

28
Q

when is clarithromycin used?

A

Upper and lower respiratory tract infection

H. pylori recurrent peptic ulcer

Leprosy

29
Q

is Azithromycin acid liable or acid stable?

what half life does it have?

can it be used in pregnancy?

when is Azithromycin used?

A

acid stable

long half life

yes

Legionnaire’s pneumonia, Chlamydia infection of urogenital tract

30
Q

when is Roxithromycin, Telithromycin used?

A

Macrolide resistant Strep. pneumoniae

31
Q

how do lincosamides work?

A

Bind to 50S subunit, prevent the translocation of peptidyl tRNA from A site to P site and blocks the formation of initiation complexes.

32
Q

name a Lincosamide

when is lincosamide used?

what is an important side effect that lincosamides cause?

A

Clindamycin

Bacteroides fragilis, Pneumocystis jiroveci, Toxoplasma gondii, pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia

33
Q

name the 2 streptogramins

how are they used?

how do they work?

are the CYP Inhibitors or Inducers?

When are they used?

when are streptogramins used?

A

Quinupristin, Dalfopristine

always given in combination

Bind to 50S ribosomes and prevent the interaction of aminoacyl t-RNA with acceptor site, decreases release of completed polypeptide

Inhibitors

(DOC) MRSA, VRSA, VRE

Arthralgia-Myalgia Syndrome: muscle pain, joint pain, fever

34
Q

how do Linezolids work?

what happens if used with other protein synthesis inhibitors?

when is it used?

what is a side effect they cause?

A

Bind to 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S ribosomes, inhibits formation of initiation complex

No cross-resistance to other protein synthesis inhibitors so nothing
