Q

Q

Cephalosporins
* beta-lactamases?
* Active against?
* generations?
* Each successive generation includes?
* side effects?
* Safely tolerated in?
* Poor against?

A
  • Most beta-lactamases do not reduce activity of cephalosporins
  • Active against Gram negatives producing b-lactamase
  • Several “Generations”
  • Each successive generation includes more Gram-negative activity
  • Limited side effect profile
  • Safely tolerated in penicillin intolerance history
  • Poor against anaerobes (particularly gram-)
39
Q

1st Generation Cephalosporins
* Excellent coverage of?
* gram activity? spp?
* oral gram -?

A
  • Excellent GRAM POSITIVE Coverage – Strep. spps. & Staph aureus
  • some gram negative activity:
  • Proteus, E. coli, and Klebsiella (PEcK)
  • Limited oral gram negatives- NO P. gingivalis
40
Q

2nd gen cephs
* gram coverages?
* oral gram -?

A
  • Still excellent GRAM POSITIVE Coverage – Strep. spps.
  • Some additional gram negatives:
  • Morexella, Haemophilus, Enterobacter, Neisseria
    (More HEN PEcK)
  • Still overall limited oral gram negative- YES P. gingivalis
41
Q

how can we use 1st and 2nd gen ceph in mouth

A

: may be used for early odontogenic infections. (no perio indications)

42
Q

■ No activity against Bacteroides, common in dental abscesses
■ Alternative antibiotic in odontogenic infections.
■ Less effective than b- Lactams (2nd choice)
■ Overall limit use due to already high resistance rates.
■ 50% of viridans group Streptococci resistant, not good for prophylaxis
