microbial susceptibility:
wide variety of organism |
broatd spectrum
|
|
microbial susceptibitlity:
active against selective organist |
narrow spectrum
|
|
sensitivity testing done by:
|
disk diffusion
microdilution e-test |
|
the oldest sensitivity
|
disk diffusion
|
|
dose for effective tx determined by
|
MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration
|
|
when to determine mic
|
when there's no replication
|
|
whcih is more effective:
MIC or MBC |
MBC: minimal bacterial concentration
|
|
what can stain ur teeth as a child
|
tetracylcine
binds to Ca and is put into the enamel (also binds to bones) |
|
when shouldn't you give tetracycline
|
< 14 yrs old
|
|
what will cause gray baby syndrome
|
chloramphenicol
|
|
why will chloramphenicol cause gray baby syndrome
|
babies unable to glucoronidate
they become lethargic and die |
|
chloramphenicol is a -- spectrum
|
broad
|
|
w/ a wound what's the best way to give an abx
|
clean the wound so the enzymes won't inactivate the abx
|
|
pcn can cause
|
seizures
|
|
time dependent: ability to kill dependent on -- ----
|
blood concentration
|
|
conc dependent: independent of ----
even if drug falls below window still able to kill; so ok to give ------ |
time
QD inside bacteria; so still killing |
|
combto used for tx of :
--- ---- infections ---microbial infections --- antimicrobial activity tx of --- strains permit --- doses of antimicrobial agents possibly reduce emergence of ---- ------ |
life threatening
polymicrobial enchanced resistanct strains lower doses resistant strains |
|
how are pcn and aminoglycosides synergistic
|
pcn's act on the cell wall
amino's act on protein synthesis pcn's will weaken the cell wall, which will let amino's get in easier. |
|
develop of resistance:
---- --- to destory active drug change in -- to drug change in -- pathway |
selection
enzymes (pcnase, carbapenemases, cephalopsorinases) permeability (b lactams get thru thru porins, so change this to prevent from get in) efflux (tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, macrolides) |
|
development of reisistance:
change in --- of site of active drug develop altered --- pathways develop altered enzyme w/ less ------ |
affinity (loss/alteration of binding proteins. . . protein synthesis inhibitors)
metabolic (sulfonamides/PABA) affinity: protein synthesis inhibitor |
|
origin of resistance:
microoraginsh is in -- stage. . . surveis thousands of years. . .spores specific --- structure lost after several ----- |
dormant
target replications (ex. cell wall) |
|
genetic changes that contribute to resistance include
|
mutational resistance
conjugation transduction transformation |
|
t/f
mutation resistance is easy when there's only a few bac |
f
easier when there's millions |
|
conjugation:
-- resistance common among gram -- bacteria |
plamid
negative (vancomycin) |
|
transduction:
bacterial dna transferred thru ----- |
phages
important in s. aureus (resistant bac inject dna into sensitive and then it becomes resistant) |
|
when free dna absorbed from environment
|
transformation
. . . cell scavengers eat up resistant stuff and become resistant |
|
when to use prophylatic abx
|
heart valves
sx |
|
problems w/ prophylatic abx
|
resistance
|
|

tx of --- infections --- of undetermined origins improper ---- omission of --- drainage lacke of adequate --- info prolong tx after --- |
nonbacterial
fever dosage (use whole dose) surgical drainage bacteriological cure |
