cefapime is a _______
4th generation cephalosporin
Common adverse reactions of cephalosporins include:
generally well-tolearted

concerns about hypersensitivity (immunological response) & anyphalactic rxns (significant bronchioconstriction)
Name some common 3rd generation cephalosporins
ceftazidime
cefotaxime
cefixime
ceftriaxone
cefotetan
Name some common 4th generation cephalosporins:
cefepime
what is the MOA of carbapenems?
- bactericidal
- bind to specific penicillin binding proteins
carbapenems indications:
- bactericidal
- broad spectrum: gram pos & neg and anerobes (esp in gut)
Name some drugs that are carbapenems:
- imipenem (w/cilastatin)
- meropenem
imipenem is a _______
carbapenem with activity against P. aurougenosa
meropenem is a ______
carbapenem
common AE of carbapenems:
generally-well tolerated

- concerns about hypersensitivity and anaphylactic rxns (usually after 2nd dose)
- maculopapular
the MOA of Glycopeptides:
- bactericidal
- not well-understood but binds to walls blocking glycopeptide polymerization by a different mech than beta lactams
Indications for glycopeptides:
- gram Positive organisms
- Aneaerobes
Name some glycopeptide drugs:
- vancomycin
common AE of glycopeptides:
- ototoxicity
- nephrotoxicity
-hypersensitivity rxns
vancomycin is a __________
glycopeptide
vancomycin is given orally for 1 reason:
- GI Problem --clostridium difficile - lives in the GI, may occcur during superinfection

pseudomembranous colitis = disease --GI swells, looks puffy, if left untreated --> explodes
MOA of lincomycins
- bateriostatic or batericidal depending on concentration and specific bacteria
- Binds to 50s ribosomal subunit inhibiting translation
Indications of Lincomycins:
> gram pos organisms
>Anaerobes
State some lincomycin drugs:
- clindamycin (PO, IV, vagina, topically)
- lincomycin
common AE of lincomycins:
pseudomembranous colitis by C. difficile
MOA of monobactams
- bactericidal
- binds to penicillin binding proteins (like beta lactans)
Monobactams indications:
- narrow spectrum of activity
- Gram neg bacteria: (*hemophilus, enterobacteriacea, P. aeruginosa)
Name some monobactam drugs:
aztreonam
common AE of monobactams
minor GI, hematological (blood cells) & hepatic effects
- hypersensitivity rxns
clindamycin is a ________
Lincomycin antibiotic
lincomycin is a _______
Lincomycin antibiotic
Aztreonam is a ________
monobactam antibiotic
