Tetracyclines spectrum?
gram pos, gram neg, aerobes/anaerobes….also rickettsiae, chlamydiae, spirochetes, mycoplasma pneumonia
Tetracyclines MOA? Bacteri-?
Bind to 30S ribosome and block access to A-site. Bacteriostatic (except TGC)
List 3 other drugs that belong with tetracyline (TC)
Doxycycline (DC), Minocycline (MOC), Tigecycline (TGC)
Tetracyclines resistance?
pump out drug (plasmid pBR322), alter ribosome binding, or alter drug. Cross-resistance b/w tetracycline is NOT uniform.
Tetracyclines absorption?
Oral (not TGC), and depends on types of food. Absorption reduced by divalent cations (Ca, milk-Ca, Al, antacid, Mg, Fe)
Tetracyclines distribution?
Liver, kidney, spleen, skin, and tissues undergoing calcification. Into body fluids but poor into CSF/ocular fluids EXCEPT MOC
Which tetracyclines can do daily dose?
Not TC. TGC has longest t1/2 of 36 hours
Tetracyclines excretion?
TC/MOC through both renal and non-renal. DC/TGC do no accumulate -> do not need adjustment in renal impaired
Tetracyclines DOC for (name 5)
Mycoplasma pneumoniae, rickettsia, chlamydia, Vibrio cholerae, Spirochetes (LYME disease, relapsing fever) and all sorts of crap
TGC mentioned targets/resistances/administration
Target MRSA/VRE. Proteus and Pseudomonas resistant. IV only.
Tetracyclines have what 3 big contraindications? 7 Adverse effects?
RENAL DYSFUNCTION, pregnancy, children less than 8 years. Causes Hepatotoxicity (esp. pregnancy), renal toxicity, hypo-mineralization of bone, teeth/skin staining, photosensitization (DC esp), GI, and superinfections (candida -> vagina. Staphy -> GI)
Amnioglycosides transport? MOA? Bacteri-?
1) passive diffusion through porins of outer membrane, active transport across inner membrane (oxygen-dependent process). 2) block protein synthesis by binding to S12 protein of 30S ribosome. Blocks initation of of synthesis, misread codons, and blocks ribosome formation. 3) Bactericidal
Amnioglycosides spectrum?
Gram neg. enteric bacilli. Selective gram pos. depending on drug. Affects aerobes inc. Pseudomonas.
Amnioglycosides resistance (3) and manner?
Slow, step-wise manner. 1) Decreased uptake (R-factor). 2) Altered receptor. 3) Enzyme modification (acetylation, phosphorylation, adenyllylation on the sugar chains)
Amnioglycosides: List the 3 IM/IV, IM, and Topical/PO agents
IM,IV: Gentamicin, Amikacin, Tobramycin. IM: Streptomycin. Topical/PO: Neomycin
Amnioglycosides excretion?
mainly glomerular filtration so they will accumulate and need to be adjusted with impaired renal function
Why is daily dosing preferred with aminoglycosides aside from convenience?
Need to consider the concentration dependent killing and post-antibiotic prolonged side effect. Remember the graphs and that you will have less side effects and greater potency.
Amnioglycosides side effects (3)
1) Ototoxicity affecting vestibular (Gentamicin) and auditory (Kanamycin). 2) Nephrotoxicity -> reversable ATN. 3) Neuromuscual blocking action that looks like curare. Watch out for that anesthesia.
Gentamicin clinical use (5 specific)? Streptomycin? Administration with other antibiotics?
1) serious, life threatening infections (Pseudomonas, E.coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus). 2) TB w/ isoniazid/refampin. 3) Often with beta-lactam to cover both gram neg and positive (aminoglycodies do gram neg)
Ciprofloxacin is an analog of what? MOA?
Fluoroquinolones are analogs of nalidixic acid. 2) inhibits bacterial topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) -> inhibits DNA synthesis by preventing uncoiling of DNA
Ciprofloxacin spectrum? Specifically what 2? Bacteri-? What's not sensitive?
Primarily gram neg cocci/bacilli. 1) Pseudomonas and mycobacteria. 3) Bactericidal. 4) Anaerobes are not sensitive…except to Trovafloxacin
Ciprofloxacin absorption/excretion/dosing?
Well absorbed after oral but inhibited by divalent cations like in antacids. 2) urine and bile. 3) daily dosing available
Ciprofloxacin DOC for what? Also effective for?
Anthrax. Pseudomonas
Ciprofloxacin 2 contraindications. 2) 3 adverse effects? 3) drug interactions (3)
1) Pregnancy and <18 years. 2) GI, CNS, convulsions in epilepsy. 3) Inhibits CYP1A2 -> theophyllin, caffeine, and warfarin
Trovafloxin has what 3 improvements?
1) Broader spectrum: some anaerobes (B. fragilis). 2) longer t1/2. 3) NON-RENAL excretion.
Trimethoprim-sulonamide MOA?
Sulfonamide is an analog of PABA and competes with it. TMP targets dihydrofolate reductase. Blocks folic acid synthesis….and eventually blocks DNA/RNA/protein
TMP-SMX other name?
Co-trimoxazole
TMP-SMX spectrum
positive (including MRSA) and negative: Chlyamydia , Hemophilus, Enterobacteriaceae, P. jeroveci pneumonia, nocardia
TMP-SMX resistance (3)
1) plasmid transfers. 2) random mutation. 3) inc PABA synthesis
TMP-SMX absorption/metab/excretion
well absorbed orally, metabolized by liver, excreted through kidney
TMP-SMX 4 specific uses? Others?
S. aureus (MRSA), P. jeroveci, shigellosis, H. influenzae (otisis media, sinusisits). UTI, prostatitis, pneumonia, topical use for burns and wounds
Methenamine MOA? Use? Contraindicated?
Produces formaldehyde, but decomposed at pH < 5.5. Urinary tract antiseptic. Metabolized in liver so hepatic insufficiency (or sulfonamide) contraindicated.
Nitrofurantoin use? MOA? Side effect?
Urinary tract antiseptic, good against resistant E. coli. 2) activated at ph < 5.5. 3) birth defect
Metronidazole MOA? Bacteri-?
Penetrates all bacteria but in anaerobes the nitro group is reduced -> metabolite reacts with DNA and inhibits replication. 2) Bactericidal.
Metronidazole spectrum? 2 specifically mentioned.
Antiprotozoal and ANAEROBIC. Bacteroides and Blostridia.
Metronidazole absorption/distribution/excretion
Well absorbed orally, distributed through including bone and CSF, excreted in urine and bile
Metronidazole side effects (3)
1) GI. 2) Candidal superinfections. 3) not with alcohol -> inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase
