Gram positive bacterial walls are composed of
monolayer of peptidoglycans
Gram neg bacterial walls are composed
multiple layers including an outer layer of lipopolysaccharide membrane.
empiric
antibiotics are often started before the results of that lab test are available.
Antibacterial classification
Broad vs Narrow Spectrum
Broad: effective against a wide range of bacteria in comparison to the narrow spectrum.
Beta lactams (name 5)
Penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, carbacephems, and penems
Beta lactams
Inhibit cell wall synthesis.
penicillinase
Bacteria have the ability to develop resistance by producing enzymes
Quinolones
Bactericidal
blocks the enzyme responsible for DNA growth.

hazards: no antacids, increase thorphylline toxicity, phototoxic
ciprofloxacin (Cipro) levofloxacin (Levoquin)
Quinolones
Aminoglycoside
used in serious infections
gram -
w/ ampicillin for gram +
bactericidal
aerosol route because of toxicity
Ototoxic, nephrotoxic
Amikacin (Amikin)
gentamicin (Garamycin)tobramycin (Nebcin)
Aminoglycoside
Vancomycin
bactericidal
used life threating infections
gram + cocci
used for MRSA
S.E.: nypotension, nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity.
alternative drug for vancomycin?
Teicoplanin (Targocid)
Protein synthesis Inhibitors
used for pulmonary infection

Erythromycin decreases theophylline metabolism so monitor theophylline levels.
Erythromycin (E-mycin), clarithromycin (Biaxin), azithromycin (Zithromax)
Protein synthesis Inhibitors
Tetracyclines

(it kills it all!!!)
broad spectrum
gram + and -
aerobes, anaerobes,mycoplasms,mycobacteria, chlamydia,spirochetes

hazards:antacids, iron, or dairy products, decrease absorption.
Folate inhibitors
sulfoamides used for easy UTI's
Bactrim, Septra, Gantanol, Gantrisin.
Folate inhibitors
Antitubercular Agents 1st line
1st line primary are bactericidal
Antitubercular Agents
2nd line secondary which are bacteriostatic and only used in combination with 1st line drugs when others have become resistant.
Isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol.
1st line Antitubercular Agents
streptomycin, cycloserine, ethionamide.
2nd line Antitubercular Agents
Factors affecting drug therapy in kids.
Size: body weight, there is a direct relationship between body weight and mass of drug.

Age: neonates and children are not simply little adults.
age definitions
Definitions:
Premie: < 36 weeks.
Neonate: 1st month of postnatal life.
Infant: 1 – 12 months.
Child: 1 – 12 years.
Adolescent: 12 – 18 years.
Adult: > 18 years.
Factors to consider when adminster rx to little ones
Infants can not take pills

Parenteral dosages must be closely watched.

more Total body water in kids will effect the distribution of water soluble drugs.
Liver enzymes have not matured in the neonate & infant.
Renal clearance mechanisms have also not fully developed in the infant.

pharmocokinetic:Some drug effects are opposite of what they become in adults.

how does beta lactamase work??
destroys beta lactam ring rendering the drug inactive
cehalosporins
same moa as penicillin
but resistant to beta lactamase and have a longer half life
