What are the 4 ABX classes under wall inhibitor?
Penicillins (PCN), Cephalosporins (CEP), Carbapenems (CAR)
What are the subclasses under PCN?
natural penicillins, PCNase-resistant PCN, AminoPCN, UreidoPCN, CarboxyPCN.
What are the drugs under natural PCN?
PCN-G/VK, Bicillin CR/LA
What are the microbial class of the natural PCN?
PCN = Strep

G is IV (syphilis)
V is PO (strep, enterobacter)
What are the antimicrobial activity and clinical use of the natural PCN?
Strep (pneumo, pyogenes, bovis, viridans)
Spirochete (Trepo pallidum, Syphilis)
C. perfringens (gangrene)
Erysipelas, cellulitisW (S. pyogenes)
Meningitis (S. pneumo)
What is the most common ADR of the natural PCN?
hypersensitivity
What are the drugs under PCN-ase resistant PCN?
Methicillin, Oxacillin (OXA), and Nafcillin (NAF),
Cloxacillin, Dicloxacillin
What are the microbial class of the PCN-ase resistant PCN?
PCNase-PCN = Staph

Treat only Gram(+)
What are the antimicrobial activity and clinical use of the PCN-ase resistant PCN?
Streptococci, Staphylococci, and enterococcus

** not against MRSA

Cellulitis (Alt: vanc + clinda)
Endocarditis (IVDU) -- Naf + Gent
Osteomyelitis (Naf)
Septic arthritis
Meningitis
Impetigo
What ADR are all the B-lactams ABC have potential to cause?
interstitial nephritis (remember all RX are interstitial!)

= rash, fever, incr Cr
What is the difference in mode of clearance between the PCN-ase resistant PCN?
Naf = biliary (non-renal). Cause neutropenia.

Oxa/Dicloxa = biliary and renal, cause hepatotoxic.

Methicillin = d/c because interstitial nephritis.
What are the drugs under aminoPCN?
Ampicillin (AMP), Amoxicillin (AMOX)

** Add B-lactam inhib to expand coverage to gram(-) H. influ and anaerobe:

Amp + Sulbactam = Unasyn
Amox + Cla = Augmentin
What are the antimicrobial activity of the aminoPCN?
Streptococci, Enterococci, Listeria monocytogenes, E coli (30% resist), Haemophilus (30% resist)
What are the Clinical use of the aminoPCN?
Amp/Amox: otitis media/sinusitis, endocarditis (enterococci, amp+gent), UTI (bactrim), listerosis (amp+gent)

Augmentin: sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, SSTI, bite wound
What class of microbe is AMP not effective against? How about Unasyn?
Amp is not effective against PCNase-staph or B-lactamase gram(-)

Unasyn not effective against pseudomonas, enterobacter, or serratia
What is the most common ADR of the AMP and AUGMENTIN?
Amp = rash

Augmentin = diarrhea
What are the drugs under UreidoPCN?
Piperacillin (IV)
Zosyn (IV) -- piper/tazo
What are the antimicrobial class of the UreidoPCN?
Anti-pseudomonas
What are the antimicrobial activity of the UreidoPCN?
Gram(+) except MRSA and VRE
(enterococcus)
Gram(-)
Pseudomonas
Anaerobe
What are the Clinical use of the UreidoPCN?
SSTI, diabetic foot infection, osteomyelitis, nosocomial pneunomia, sepsis, meningitis, intra-abdominal infection, bacteremia in neutropenic PT's.
How should you think about Zosyn?
Timentin with Enterococcus (anaerobes)
What are the drugs under CarboxyPCN?
Timentin (Ticar/Clav)
What are the antimicrobial activity of the CarboxyPCN?
Gram (+) except MRSA, VRE
Gram (-)
Anaerobe

NO enterococcus
What are the Clinical use of the CarboxyPCN?
Nosocomial infection, SSTI, sepsis, intra-abdo infection
What are the common ADR of the CarboxyPCN?
Antiplatelet effect, Na+ overload
What are the subclasses (generation) under Cephalosporin?
Class 1-6
What are the First-generation cephalos?
Cephazolin (Ancef, IV), Cephalexin (Keflex, PO)
Which microbe does First-generation cephalos combat?
Gram (+) predominanty , limited Gram(-)

NO coverage for M catarrhalis, H influ
What is the clinical use of First-generation cephalos?
skin and soft-tissue infection (SSTI), surgical prophylaxis.

Keflex = second line to PCN for SSTI.
Which microbes are First-generation cephalos not against?
Enterococci, L. mono, and MRSA
What are the Second-generation cephalos?
Cefuroxime, Cefaclor, Cefprozil, Loracarbef (PO)

Cefuroxime, Cefoxitin, Cefotetan (IV)
