session 1 - bovine resp pharm Flashcards
MOA of beta lactams
block cell wall synthesis
natural beta lactam antibiotics from fungi and are primarily active against gram-positive bacterial pathogens
Penicillin G and penicillin V
spectrum of action of Penicillin G and penicillin V
gram-positive, no gram neg
spectrum of action of ampicillin and amoxicillin
gram + > gram -
addition of a hydroxyl group (-OH) to amoxicillin is useful in what way?
inc oral bioavailability
lactamase-resistant penicillins
Methicillin
Cloxacillin (primarily G+ cocci aka “anti-staph penicillin”)
indications for penicillins in cattle:
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD), mastitis, metritis, and foot rot from susceptible microorganisms, including Fusobacterium necrophorum, Trueperella pyogenes, Pasturella multocida, Strep. agalactiae, and Staph. (other than aureus)
fusobacterium
gra neg anaerobe
AE of penicillin
hypersensitivity
route of administration of cloxacillin
intra mammary
Prolonged activity due to extended release in mammary gland
route of administration of amoxicillin
oral
which of the following beta lactams used in cattle can be given SC?
penicillin
ampicillin
amoxicillin
cloxacillin
ampicillin
which of the following beta lactams used in cattle has good oral bioavailability?
penicillin
ampicillin
amoxicillin
cloxacillin
amoxicillin
are penicillins or cephalosporins more susceptible to enzymatic inactivation by β-lactamases?
penicillins
advancing cephalosporin generations is for greater Gram – coverage and increasing resistance to bacterial lactamases.
route of administration of cephapirin
inta mammary
cephapirin
1st get cephalosporin
intra mamary admin
of the cephalosporins used in cattle, which generations are they classified as?
ceftiofur
cephapirin
cephapirin - 1st
ceftiofur - 3rd
AE of cefiofur
Vomiting, diarrhea, inappetance
Hypersensitivity: Anaphylaxis, cytopenias
What diseases are tetracyclines indicated for?
concentrate intracellularly (mycoplasma and lepto), some class members more than others.
concentrates in the epithelial lining of the airways (resp infections).
AE of rapid IV injection of tetracyclines?
collapse in cattle.
AE of tetracyclines in cattle:
tooth discoloration
rumen stasis (high PO doses)
hypersensitivity (swelling, dyspnea, collapse)
embryotoxic (early loss, later retarded bone growth )
MOA of ainoglycosides
inhibit protein synthesis
What microbes are aminoglycosides effective against?
Aminoglycosides have primarily a G- aerobic spectrum, with limited G+ aerobic coverage, and no anaerobic coverage.
What microbes are tetracyclines effective against?
broad spectrum
