BETA-LACTAM ABX
CATEGORIES |
1. Penicillin (-cillin's)
G = IV V = ORAL 2. Cephalosporins 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen - increasing gram neg activity - decreasing gram + activity 3. Carbapenems: Imipenem: decerebrate abx - high seizure potential 4. Monobactam (Aztreonam) BETA-LACTAM ABX - poor intracellular penetration - least toxic abx - bacteriocidal - time dependent |
|
BETA LACTAM ABX
MECHANISM OF AXN |
Bind & competitively inhibits Transpeptidase = Penicillin Binding Protein
Bactericidal = kills bacteria *Gram-neg bugs: pass through PORINS in outer membrane to reach cell wall |
|
BETA LACTAM ABX
- RESISTANCE |
SIX Ps: Penetration, porins, pumps, penicillinases, PBPs, Peptidoglycan
1. Alter the drug = drug inactivation Beta-lactamases: Cleave C-N bond ex// ESBL, penicillinase, cephalosporinase *Gram+ bugs secrete penicillinase *Gram- bugs have it bound to cytoplasmic membrane 2. Alter drug target: Change PBPs ex// MRSA 3. Can't reach/touch target - porin pore mtt (gram-neg) - Efflux pumps |
|
six P's of Penicillin inactivity
|
1. Penetration ( intracellular )
2. Porins (gram-neg) 3. Pumps (efflux) - decrease [ ] @ target site 4. PBPs: mtts 5. Peptidoglycan: absent in mycoplasma 6. Penicillinases: beta lactamases - MAJOR |
|
BETA LACTAM ABX
- Elimination |
MOSTLY RENAL
Major exception: CEFTRIAXONE (3rd gen ceph) - biliary & renal elimination: intern's drug |
|
beta lactam abx
TOXICITY |
REALLY NONTOXIC,
BUT MCC OF ABX ALLERGIC RXN HYPERSENSITIVITY 1. IgE - angioedema, laryngeal edema, anaphylaxis 2. IgG: hematologic, nephritis 3. IgG & C' = immune complex - serum sickness & vasculitis 4. T cell: delayed rash = VERY COMMON (esp when you give amox to pt w/ a virus OTHERS: - Seizures - disulfiram like rxn w/ cefotetan - Bone marrow suppression - Diarrhea (abx- associated colitis 2' C. dif) **pregnancy category B** **Except Imipenem = Category C** |

tYPES OF TUBERCULOSIS
- latent vs localized vs disseminated vs atypical |

|
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF M. TUBERCULOSIS TX
|
1. NUMBERS
- few organisms (Latent): few drugs - Many orgs (active infxn): many drugs 2. Prevent activation of disease - prophylaxis 3. Prevent emergence of resistance - TB is slow-growing, dormant, intracelular, mycolic acid (lipid) cell wall ***4 for 2, 2 for 4*** -DOT * Give B6 w/ INH * Make sure it's M. tb and not MAC - acid fast bacilli are M. tb until proven otherwise |
|
TB FIRST LINE DRUGS
INH-SPIRE |
PERIS; I Saw a Red Pyre (burning the liver)
INH, PZA, RIF, ETB, = HEPATOTOXIC Streptomycin **second line drugs are used if resistance present; very bad SEs |
|
TREATMENT OF MAC
|
first line: take CARE it's not MAC
- Clazithromycin or Azithromycin - Rifabutin - Ethambutol 2nd line: Quinolones, streptomycin, Clofazamine |
|
