MOA of macrolides:
bacteriostatic at most physiological concentrations
- binds to 50s ribosomal subunit inhibiting translation
Indications for macrolides includes:
- relatively broad spectrum
- gram Pos (common use) & gram Neg
- Atypical organisms (e.g. mycoplasma)
Name some macrolide drugs:
erythromycin base
erythromycin estolate
erythromycin ethylsuccinate
azithromycin
clarithromycin
telithromycin (ketolide)
state the newer macrolides that have not developed resistance:
arithromycin
clarithromycin
telithromycin (ketolide)
erythromycin base is a ______
macrolide
erythromycin estolate is a ______
macrolide
erthyromycin ethylsuccinate is a _____
macrolide
azithromycin is a_______
macrolide
clarithromycin is a _____
macrolide
teliithromycin (ketolide) is a ______
macrolide
What are the AE of macrolides
erythromycin = GI upset & abdominal cramping is common with N/V/D (less problematic w/ newer drugs)

- certain salt forms of erythromycin may induce hepatotoxicity
what is the MOA of penicillins:
- bactericidal
- bind to specific penicillin-binding-proteins that inhibit peptidoglycan cross-linking necissary for the integrity of the cell wall
Indications for penicillins:
different types of penicillins have different spectra of activity which will be discussed by drug grouping
State some Natural Penicillins (original)
- Penicillin V
- Penicillin G
-Benzathine penicillin G
- Procaine penicillin G
Indications for Natural Penicillins
- gram pos organisms
- some anaerobes (above diaphragm)
which Penicillin is the drug of choice for syphillis:
Benzathine Penicillin G --suspended in oil based matrix; by IM injection
what are common AE of Natural Penicillins:
- generally well tolerated
- hypersensitivity rxns
- GI upset
State some Aminopenicillins:
- amoxicillin (+/- clavulanate)
- ampicilin (+/- sulbactam)
indications for use of aminopenicillins:
- spectrum includes both gram pos and gram neg bacteria
- AMPICILLIN may also be effective against enterococci
common AE of aminopenicillins
GI upset
hypersensitivity rxns
what is penicillinase?
penicillinase is an enzyme produced by certain bacteria that breaks down beta lactam antibiotics
State some Penicillinase resistant penicillins.
- dicloxacillin
- nafcillin
- oxacillin
penicillinase resistant penicllins primarily treat (indications):
Gram POSITIVE bacteria that produce penicillinase (also gram neg, but focused on gram pos)
common AE of penicillinase resistant penicillins:
- similar to other penicillins:

GI upset and hypersensitivity rxns
State some Extended Spectrum Penicillins (ureido penicillins)
- carbenicillin
- ticarcillin (+/- clavulanate)
-piperacillin (+/- tazobactam)
- mezlocillin
- azlocillin
which 'extended spectrum penicillins/ureido penicillins' are considered "Carboxy"
- carbenicillin
- ticarcillin (+/- clavulanate)
which 'extended spectrum penicillins/ureido penicillins' are considered "Ureido"
- piperacillin (+/- tazobactam)
- mezlocillin
- azlocillin
Indications for "extended spectrum penicillins"
-gram pos organisms
-gram neg organisms
anaerobes
enterobacteriaceae
P. aeruginosa (piperacillin)
common AE of extended spectrum penicillins:
- GI upset
- hypersensitivity rxnsw
best penicillin against strepylococcus
All penicillins?
best penicillin against enterobacteriacea
Extended spectrum penicillins
best penicillin against P. aeroginosa (specific drug name)
piperacillin
