Week 3 Cell Wall Inhibitor Drugs Flashcards
Penicillin V and Penicillin G
V= oral G= IV form
Probenecid
impairs renal secretion of weak acid, used to increase half life of penicillin
Nafcillin
penicillinase-resistant penicillin
Dicloxacillin
Penicillinase-resistant penicillin
Clavulanate
Beta-lactamase inhibitor
sulbactam
Beta-lactamase inhibitor
tazovactam
Beta-lactamase inhibitor
Ampicillin
Aminopenicillin
Amoxicillin
Aminopenicillin
Piperacillin
Antipseudomonal penicillin
ticarcillin
antipseudomonal penicillin
Cephalosporin
Inhibits cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding protiens
less susceptible to penicillinases but can be inactivated by extended spectrum beta-lactamases
Carbapenems
Imipenem/cilastatin, meropenem
contain beta-lactam ring and bind to penicillin binding proteins
broad but MRSA resistant
GI distress, cross allergic, renal dysfunciton
Aztreonam
monocyclic beta lactams (use if patient is allergic to penicillin)
cell wall inhibitor and binds to polypeptide binding protein
gram neg rods
Vancomycin
binds with high affinity to the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminus of the cell wall precursor unit, inhibitng release from the bactopreno carrier, thus preventing synthesis. Inhibits TRANSGLYCOSLASE reaction
gram +, especially MRSA and C.diff
empiric treament
