Inhibitors of Cell Wall Synthesis
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis or activates enzymes that distrupt the cell wall.
Penicillin
Have beta-lactam ring, some bacteria become resistant, produce beta-lactamase--pencillinases.
NARROW SPECTRUM, PENICILLINASE SENSITIVE
Penicillin G MOA
weakens bacterial cell wall by binding to penicillin-binding proteins-->allows water to enter cell, ruptures cell.
Penicillin G IND
gram positive bacteria
gram negative bacteria
Penicillin G AE
pain at injection site
allergic reactions
Antimicrobial
any agent that kills or suppresses microorganisms(natural or synthetic)
Antibiotic
a chemical produced by microorganism, has ability to harm others.
Selective Toxicity
ability of drug to kill or suppress infecting microorganisms w/out causing injury to host.
Use of Antimicrobials
1.Treat infection (most common purpose)
2. Prophylactic Use
a. surgery
b. bacterial
endocarditis
c. neutropenia
Misuses of Antimicrobials
1. attempted tx of untreatable infections
2. tx of fever of unknown origin
3. improper dosage
4. omission of surgical cleaning/drainage
5. improper drug for organism
Drug Resistance: Def
microorganisms able to alter function or structure-->changes in microbial DNA.
Drug Resistance: List Reasons
1. microorganism produce drug-metabolizing enzymes
2. microorganism cease active uptake of certain drugs
3. microorganism alter drug-binding sites
4. microorganism produce compounds that antagonize actions.

1. 1st Gen
2. 2nd Gen
3. 3rd Gen
4. 4th Gen
Cephalosporins: MOA
bind to penicillin-binding proteins and inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis-->weakens cell wall, causes lysis and death.
Cephalosporins: IND
bacterial infections
1st Gen: gram pos-- strept, staph infxn, proph surg
2nd Gen:gram neg--staph also, resp infxn, sinus, ear infxn
3rd Gen: broad spec, gram neg, reaches CSF
4th Gen:strongest, reaches CSF easier
Cephalosporin AE
allergic rxns
bleeding (interferes w/ Vit K synthesis, decr prothrombin levels)
tThrombophlebitis
Cephalosporin DI
alcohol
drugs that promote bleeding
Cephalosporin Nursing Considerations
use cautiously in px w/ penicillin allergy
monitor prothrombin time
Carbapenems: Type
Imipenem/Primaxin
Imipenem/Primaxin: MOA
binds to penicillin-binding proteins-->weaknes bacterial cell wall-->lysis, death. Mixed in combo with cilastatin(prevents kidney metabolism of drug)
Imipenem/Primaxin IND
gram pos, gram neg bacteria
resistant organisms, mixed infxns, can reach CSF
Imipenem/Primaxin AE
GI effects
allergix rxns
suprainfections(BIGGEST PROBLEM, wipes out normal flora)
Vancomycin MOA
inhibits cell wall synthesis causing lysis and death. Binds to molecules that serve as precursors for cell wall synthesis.
Vancomycin IND
serious infxns only--gram pos
infxn w/ MRSA
ABX-asscd. pseudomembranous colitis: C. difficle
Vancomycin AE
ototoxicity
red man syndrome
thrombophlebitis
tetracycline MOA
suppresses bacteria growth by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Bind to ribosomal subunits, inhibits binding of transfer RNA to ribosome complex.
tetracycline IND
broad spec--> gram pos/neg
tx of acne
tx of infx disease
tx of PUD
tx of periodontal disease
tetracycline AE
GI irritation
discoloration of developing bones/teeth
suprainfxn

do not use during pregnancy
pts with renal disease
tetracycline: Nursing
instruct px to avoid sun and wear sunscreen
dietary restrictions--avoid Ca2+
Macroslides
Erthromycin
Erythromycin MOA
suppresses bacterial growth by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Binds to ribosomal subunit, blocks addition of new amino acids to peptide chain.
Erythromycin IND
alt for pts w/ penicillin allergy: gram pos/neg
strept infxns, resp infxn, endocarditis, legionnaires
