Erythromycin MOA? Bacteri-? What is the group called along with other members?
Binds to 50S ribosome -> inhibits protein synthesis. Bacteriostatic (but may be bactericidal at [higher]. Macrolides also include clarithromycin, azithromycin, and ketolides.
Erythromycin spectrum?
Gram pos like penicillin + [Chlamydia, legionella, mycoplasma]. Gram neg like Neisseria and rickettsia.
Erythromycin resistance (4)?
drug efflux, reduced uptake, methylase ribosomal protection, esterases that destroy drug
Erythromycin absorption?
Erratic absorption orally. Acid labile. Give on empty stomach. 4 preparations: acid insoluble salt (stearate). Acid insoluble ester (estolate). Enteric coated tables. Plymer Coated
Erythromycin elimination and drug interaction reason?
in liver (bile). Metabolized by P450s but metabolites inhibit CYP3A4…
Erythromycin toxicity (3)?
GI irritation (#1 problem). 2) liver toxicity -> cholestatic jaundice (estolate). 3) Ototoxicity
Erythromycin drug interactions (6)?
Digitoxin, Theophylline, Warfarin, Cyclosporine, Methylprednisolone, lovastatin
Erythromycin DOC for what 2 things? Also useful for?
DOC in corynebacterial (diphtheria or corynebacterial sepsis). DOC for Pneumonia b/c pneumococcus, mycoplasma, legionella. Also good for Chlamydia.
Clarithromycin has 2 advantages over erythromycin? 3 additional bugs mentioned for clarithromycin?
acid stable and less GI disturbances. H. influenzae, N. gonorrhea, M. avium
Azithromycin structural difference? 3 advantages? This along with clarithromycin can be used for what prophylaxis?
lactone ring from adding methylated nitrogen. 1) long t1/2 = daily dosing. 2) much higher [tissue] than [serum]. 3) DOES NOT INACTIVATE P450! (…). Both can be used for BE
Ketolide (telithromycin) structure difference? Mechanism? Changes in resistance?
replaced a sugar with 3-keto group. Same as other macrolides. Higher affinity to ribosome and weaker as a substrate to efflux pump.
Ketolide (telithromycin) Advantage? Administration? Adverse effects?
macrolide-resistant bacteria. Oral. Same as erythromycin -> inhibits CYP3A4
Clindamycin structure? MOA?
Distinct from and smaller than erythromycin. Binds to 50S ribosome at same site too so they are ANTAGONISTIC
Clindamycin spectrum (3)?
gram pos (except S. faecalis). Effective against Bacteroides (B. fragilis) and other anaerobes (G +/-)
Clindamycin resistance, both mechanisms and organisms.
Mutation of ribosomal proteins, activate methylase. C. diff always resistant. Some pneumococci, S. pyogenes, enterococci are resistant. Some MRSA resistant to erythromycin also resistant
Clindamycin administration/distribution/excretion
orally or parenterally. 2) good in soft or hard tissue (bone). 3) liver -> bile
Clindamycin reactions (3)
1) Antibiotic-Associated Colitis = pseudomembranous colitis (by overgrowth of C. diff: Tx Metronidazole or Vancomycin). 2) Hypersensitivity. 3) Hematopoetic stuff
Clindamycin clinical use (4)
1) ANAEROBIC: Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Actinomyces, C. perfringens… 2) Combined with Aminoglycosides or cephalosporin for wounds in the abdomen or gut. 3) infections allergic to penicillin. 4) BE prophylaxis
Vancomycin MOA? Bacteri-? Spectrum?
Binds to D-Ala-D-Ala of polyglycan cell wall. 2) bactericidal. 3) gram-positive only. Effective against staph/strep/Clostridia/Actinomyces/oral anaerobes -> E. faecalis
Vancomycin Tx (4)? DOC for?
1) resistant staph/strep in tissue/bone (osteomyelitis). 2) allergies to penicillin. 3) In combination with Aminoglycosides for endocardities from S. faecalis. 4) AAC. DOC for MRSA
Vancomycin absorption, clearance?
Poor GI -> oral use only for AAC but everything else IV. 90% renal.
Vancomycin adverse reactions (4)
1) Ototoxicity. 2) Nephrotoxicity (additive with aminoglycosides). 3) Phlebitis at injection. 4) Hypersensitivity both delayed (skin rashes), immediate (uticaria), and anaphylactic-type (red-neck syndrome).
Linezolid MOA? Bacteri-?
Bind to 50S large subunit and affect 70S formation. Bacteriostatic (except bactericidal for streptococci).
Linezolid spectrum? Resistance?
gram positive, and moderately for TB. 2) decrease drug binding to 23S rRNA
Linezolid Tx? Absorb/distrib/excretion?
1) reserved for MRSA, VRSA, and VRE. 2) Completely absorbed orally, widely distributed, both renal and non-renal excretion.
