Penicillins
M: Bind PBPs to inhibit peptidoglycan cross-linking; U: gram-positive, Neisseria; SE: allergies; R: altered PBP, B-lactamase
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin
M: same as penicillin U: Gram + and HELPS (H influ, E coli, listeria, Proteus, Salmonella, enterococci); can use with clavulanic acid (B-lactamase inhibitor)
Methicillin, Nafcillin, Oxacillin
M: same as penicillins; use to treat S. aureus
Carbenicillin, piperacillin, ticarcillin
Use vs. Pseudomonas
1st gen cephalosporins
B-lactam drugs but less susceptible to B-lactamases; U: gram-positive + PEcK
2nd gen cephalosporins
gram-positive + HEN PEcKS
3rd gen cephalosporins
good gram negative coverage; treat meningitis, and gonorrhea (ceftriaxone)
4th gen cephalopsporin (cefepime)
Pseudomonas coverage
Monobactam (Aztreonam)
Binds PBP3, no cross-reactivity with penicillins, gram - ONLY,
Imipenem/cilastatin
Cilastatin is an inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase I to preserve imipenem from cleavage; hits + and -; SE: seizures
Vancomycin
Binds D-ala-D-ala linkage of peptidoglycan backbone to prevent ligase access for peptidoglycan polymerization; GRAM + only (MRSA, C. dificle); SE: ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, Red-man syndrome; R: changes D-ala-D-ala to D-ala-D-lac
Aminoglycosides (gentamicin, other "mycins")
M: Block initiation complex; U: gram negative rods; synergistic w/ B-lactams; SE: nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, pregnancy contraindicated; R: altered 30S subunit
Tetracyclines ("cyclines")
M: prevent tRNA binding; U: Broad-spectrum (VACUUM BedRoom Tonight); SE: Ca2+ chelator for discolor teeth, stunt bone growth; phototoxicity
Chloramphenicol
M: Blocks peptide bond formation; U: meningitis (H flu, Neisseria, Strep pneumo) but limited b/c of toxicity; SE: aplastic anemia, gray baby; R: enzymatic inactivation
Macrolides (erythromycin)
M: Block translocation; U: URIs, pneumonias (CAP), gram + cocci; SE: inhibit P450; R: ribosomal RNA (rRNA) methylation
Clindamycin
M: Blocks ribosome function; U: ANAEROBES above diaphragm except C. dificile; SE: risk for pseudomembranous colitis by C. dificile; R: rRNA methylation
Linezolid
Against MRSA and PRSP; block initiation at 50S
Sulfonamides
M: Block dihydropteroate synthase as PABA analog; U: ulcerative colitis, UTI, burns; SE: kernicterus, hemolysis, allergies; R: increased DHFR
Trimethroprim
M: Inhibits DHFR; U: as TMP-SMX for PCP, gram +/-, traveler's diarrhea; SE: megaloblastic anemia (for TMP), reversible thrombocytopenia by giving leucovorin
Fluoroquinolones
M: Inhibit DNA gyrase/topo IV, concentration-dep killing; U: Pseudomonas in CF pts, UTI/STDs; SE: cartilage damage, tendinitis
Isoniazid
M: Inhibits mycolic acid synthesis; U: First-line TB drug, use as prophylaxis; SE: Neuropathy, hepatotoxicity; R: metabolized by N-acetyltransferase at diff rates, so can use pyroxidine
Ethambutol
M: Inhibit arabinosyltransferases needed to make cell wall; penetrates CNS for TB meningitis SE: retrobulbar neuritis (eye)
Rifampin
RNA polymerase inhibitor; revs up P450; red/orange body fluids; rapid resistance if used alone
Pyrazinamide
polyarthralgia, hepatitis
