Quiz 7 Flashcards
Bacterial susceptibility is determined by the _____ around each disc.
radius
Disk diffusion technique
bacteriostatic (6) STECC
- Sulfonamides
- Tetracyclines
- Erythromycin
- Clindamycin
- Chloramphenicol
Narrow spectrum ABX (3)
- Penicillin G
- Erythromycin
- Clindamycin
concentration dependent ABX (2)

Post-Antibiotic Effect (PAE):
- Some antibiotics continue to suppress the growth of bacteria even after the antibiotic is no longer detectable
- PAE demonstrated for virtually all antimicrobials
- PAEs can be decreased in acidic (infected) media
- During the PAE phase, bacteria are more susceptible to killing by leukocytes
All gram negative bacteria have resistance to __________.
vancomycin
Mechanisms of acquired resistance
- Decreased permeability
- Increased efflux pumps
- Inactivation
- Modification of the antimicrobial target
Look at slide 17

_________ in pregnant women is associated with acute fatty necrosis of the liver, pancreatitis, and possible renal injury.
Tetracycline
C. Diff: Pathogenesis is typically toxin-mediated with bacteremia extremely rare, what toxins?
- Enterotoxin A
- Cytotoxin B
C. Diff Tx (2)
- Oral vancomycin
