3 common uses of natural penicllins
strep pharyngitis
cellulitis
syphillis
which abx is used for syphillis

clinical use of nafcillin and dicloxacillin
staph skin/soft tissue infxns
also work well against strep

otitis media
skin/soft tissue infxns
what pathogen is mc responsible for acute bronchitis exacerbations
H.flu
what js the augmented extended-spectrum penicillin
piperacillin/tazobactam -> zosyn (IV)
clinical usefulness of zosyn
broad spectrum, including pseudomonas
think hospitalized pt’s
3 ADR for penicillins
hypersensitivity rxn’s
augmentin -> diarrhea, subclinical hepatotoxicity
1st gen cephalosporins have good gram __ coverage and poor gram __ coverage
good: positive
poor: negative
as cephalosporin generations increase, gram __ coverage increases, and gram __ coverage decreases
increases: negative
decreases: positive
which cephalosporin has broad coverage and MRSA coverage
ceftaroline
which cephalosporin is linked with biliary sludging/pseudocholelithiasis
ceftriaxone

pre op prophylaxis
uncomplicated cystitis
which abx is used for pre op prophylaxis
