2 Beta-lactams in combo generally not useful
Lack activity against atypical organisms (mycoplasma, chlamydophila)
All lack activity against MRSA
To be -cidal against enterococci, must be combined c aminoglycosides

Methicillin, Cloxacillin, dicloxacillin*, nafcillin*, oxacillin*
Good for: MSSA, strep
ADR: acute interstitial nephritis, phlebitis
Eliminated by liver so no need for renal dosing
All these are interchangeable. If a bug is resistant to one, it's resistant to all
Kill faster than vanco so switch to this when MSSA
Aminopenicillins
Amoxicillin (PO)*, Ampicillin (IV)*
More water-soluble so have GNB coverage but not staph

None work against enterococci
First-generation Cephalosporin
cefazolin* (IV), cephalexin* (PO), cefadroxil (PO), cephalothin (IV)
Used prior to sx against sx site infections
Goof for: MSSA, strep

good for: some enteric GNRs, Haemophilus, Neisseria
Moderate for: strep, staph, anaerobes (cefotetan, cefoxitin, cefmetazole... therefore good for prophylaxis with abd sx)
Cefamandole, cefmetazole, cefotetan: inhibit Vit K production and prolong bleeding; also do not drink
Do not cross BBB

Ceftriaxone*, Cefotaxime*, ceftazidime*, cefpodoxime*, defixime*, ceftibuten
Good: strep, enteric GNRs, pseudomonasa (ceftazidime only)
Moderate: MSSA (except ceftazidime)
Strongest association with C. difficile diarrhea
Cefpodoxime inhibits Vit K production
Ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, and ceftazidime cross BBB
Ceftriaxone is qd except for meningitis where it is q12h
Fourth-generation Cephalosporin

Moderate: enterococci (not ertapenem
Higher chance for seizures
Imipenem is metabolized in the kidney to a nephrotoxic product, therefore needs cilastatin
May elicite an allergic rxn in penicillin allergy pts
Monobactams
aztreonam*
Safe in those with beta-lactam allergies (except ceftazidime)
