Quiz 7 Flashcards
(85 cards)
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)
- Aminoglycosides
- Flouroquinolones
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
.
Need ___________ coverage for cutting through skin
Gram positive
Impaired host defenses
Anatomical (i.e. ulceration)
Secondary:
- Neutropenia
- Aspleenia
- Malignancy
- HIV
- Immunosuppressant therapy
Pregnant Pharmacokinetics
- Increased V.d (volume of distribution)
- Increased GFR
Ok in Preggos:
And if necessary?
- PCN
- Erythromycin
- cephalosporins
If Necessary:
- AminoGlycosides
- Isoniazid
_________ 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
- Dificid (fidaxomicin)- similar cure rates as vanco, reduced recurrence for moderate to severe infection
C.Diff and concurrent infections
-Continue C. difficile therapy also and extend the course for 5 to 10 days after the completion of the other antibiotics
