long half life; very popular in hospital tx

avoid Ca++ (forms ppt)
Ceftazidime
3rd gen IV/IM cephalosporin

reserved for Pseudomonas

sacrificed gm+ activity for improved gm- coverage
Cefepime

Generation? ROA?
Typical uses?
Cautions?
4th gen IV/IM cephalosporin!

does pretty much everything except anaerobes --> good for EMPIRIC THERAPY

does not activate inducible BLA's

caution: neurotoxicity
Carbapenems

bacterial mechanisms of resistance?
ROA?
uses?
induces but resistant to xsomal BLA's
largely BLA-resistant (but watch out for MBL carbapenemases, ex. NDM-1)

all IV, none PO

broad spectrum --> used for polymicrobial or MDR infections
Which drug must be combined with Cilastatin and why?
Imipenem (carbapenem)

Imipenem is degraded by renal dihydropeptidase DHP-1. Cilastatin inhibits DHP-1.
Typical indications for Meropenem?
meningitis
abdominal infections
complicated non-MRSA skin infection

often used for empiric therapy bc it's broad spectrum
Typical indications for ertapenem? Cautions?
complicated abdominal infections
complicated UTI, pelvic infections
Non-MRSA skin infections
Non-PRSP CAP

does NOT cover PRSP or Pseudomonas; more susceptible to ESBL and AmpC than other carbapenems
Indications for Doripenem?
Gram negatives (incl. Pseudomonas)
anaerobes

complicated abdominal, pelvic, skin infections, UTI's
Non-PRSP CAP
Aztreonam spectrum, uses?
aerobic gram negatives

Cayston: aerosol form for Pseudomonas infection in Cystic Fibrosis pts
DOC for PRSP?
Vancomycin
