MOA penicillins



what all is included?

block cell wall synthesis by inhibition of peptidoglycan cross-linking



penicillin, ampicillin/amoxicillin; augmentin, unasyn; ticarcillin/piperacillin; timentin, zosyn; IV nafcillin, oxacillin; PO dicloxacillin

penicillin DOC
group a strep

confirmed penicillin sensitive: pneumonoccal infxn- pneumonia, meningitis


confirmed penicillin sensitive: meningococcal infxn


syphilis = treponema pallidum

if you give a penicillin shot to someone with really bad syphillis and he goes red systemically, what is it
Jarish-Herxheimer reaction form endotoxin like products released by dead treponema
ampicillin/amoxicillin DOC
broader spectrum, general minor infxn:

acute sinusitis, otitis which are usually frrom pneumococcus, H flu, moraxella catarrhalis




ampicillin for listeria (meningitis in babies and elderly). Often covers enterococcus




NOT: bronchitis except if COPD pt

persistent minor infxn- persistent sinusitis or otitis
Augmentin: amoxicillin and beta lactamase inhibitor

often doesn't cover pneumococcus resistance (altered binding = resistance)




cefuroxime (IV): 2nd gen cephalosporin

mixed infxn like diabetic foot ulcer that doesn't have MRSA
Unasyn (IV): ampicillin and beta-lactamase inhibitor



ciprofloxacin

pt has bronchitis- coughing yellow sputum
no abx

unless COPD pt- give them ampicillin/amoxicillin

GAS DOC
penicillin
acute sinusitis/otitis
ampicillin/amoxicillin
persistant pneumococcal infxn
raise the dose of antibiotics. Resistance is from drug binding the bacteria uses so.
anti-pseudomonas penicillin
ticarcillin/piperacillin
burn pts infxn MCC
pseudomonas
neutropenic pt

HAP pt


CF pt




MCC infxn

pseudomonas
why are pts neutropenic
chemotherapy


critically ill hospital acquired infxn, suspect pseudomonas
timentin: ticarcillin and beta lactamase inhibitor (have to chase with 1L of saline)



zosyn: piperacillin and beta lactamase inhibitor (often use higher dose)




avoid ceftazidime since induces BLase


cefepime

pt has cellulitis MCC and DOC




staph aureus (non-MRSA)- IV Nafcillin or oxacillin, or PO dicloxacillin



cefazolin for minor outpt style




if deep tissue- fasciitis clindamycin (bacteriostatic to keep from blowing it up)

pt has endocarditis MCC DOC




staph aureus: IV Nafcillin or oxacillin, or PO dicloxacillin



may add an aminoglycoside: synergizes against beta-lactamase




bad situation: daptomycin

MRSA

non-serious soft tissue: bactrim


clindamycin

vancomycin

linezolid


daptomycin (not if pneumonia)

cephalosporins include
cefazolin

cefuroxime




cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, cefixime, cefdinir






cefepime

pneumococcal meningitis, not penicillin susceptible
third gen cephalosporins: cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, cefixime, cefdinir
what all do cephalosporins cover in general
gram + to gram - in later gens



not enterococcus


doesn't cover most anaerobes

pseudomonas- allergic to penicillins
ceftazidime - induces beta-lactamase so cefepime preferred
cephalosporins promote bacterial resistance - how and in what species (name 7)
extended spectrum beta lactamase gram-



Klebsiella, actinobacter, enterobacter, proteus, pseudomonas, serratia, e.coli

pre-operative prophylaxis
cefazolin (1st gen cephalosporin)
outpt cellulitis, minor staph infxn



well, maybe it's MRSA

cefazolin (IV) 1st gen cephalosporin



bactrim, clindamycin

in ICU pt super sick, what abx going to avoid



what abx probably going to use

3rd gen cephalosporins- induce the ESBL gram-



aminoglycosides

gram- infxn, very serious. tx?
combo: ceftriaxone and tobramycin



aztreonam


primaxin

aminoglycosides MOA
block protein synthesis at 30S ribosomal unit
aminoglycosides main target
gram- infxn



not for lungs or meninges

aminoglycosides include
gentamicin

tobramycin


amikacin

aminoglycosides AE
renal toxicity, ototoxicity
macrolides MOA
23S rRNA of 50S ribosomal unit

bacteriostatic

macrolides AE
motilin stimulation, feel nausea in erythomycin though gastroparesis is helped with it



prolonged QT

macrolides include
erythromycin

azithromycin, clarithromycin

walking pneumonia: MCC DOC
mycoplasma: erythromycin
legionella
macrolide: erythromycin resistance increasing, azithromycin better
uncomplicated CAP
used to be macrolides but used Z pack too much so now have to be more careful



doxycycline


levofloxacin

immunocompromised pt has pneumonia- looks like pneumocystis jiroveci
bactrim
bactrim: what's in it and MOA
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole- blocks nucleotide synthesis by inhibiting bacterial folate synthesis
bactrim uses
all around: gram+ gram-

minor infxn: otitis, sinusitis


uncomplicated UTI/cystitis


unclear tho- building resistance




NOT for strep throat, pseudomonas, anaerobes

bactrim AE
rash, stevens johnson syndrome, hemolysis with G6PD deficiency pt
UTI with E.coli sulfa resistance tx
nitrofurantoin
nitrofurantoin AE
pulm toxicity

acute hypersensitivity


chronic pulm interstitial dz


urine brown

UTI in pregnant woman tx
nitrofurantoin
tetracyclines MOA and includes
inhibits 30S ribosomal subunit



doxycycline

chlamydia tx
doxycycline maybe with ceftiraxone (called zithromax) which then covers gonorrhea too (often co-infxn)




spring/summer

fever


low WBC platelets


elevated transaminases




dx?

Rickettsiae dz

how does metronidazole work
a nitroimidazole, unclear mechanism but ups free radicals in microbe

Cannot drink alcohol on this
how does vancomycin work
inhibits cell wall synthesis- a glycopeptide. Not susceptible to beta lactamase



covers intense staph infxn and enterococcal (pyelonephritis- but then tricky because nephrotoxicity chance)
