Combo: Beta-Lactamase inhibitor + Penicillin to make a beta-lactamase resistant combination.
Broad coverage against the beta-lactamase producing bugs: Staph aureus, H flu, and Bacteroides fragiles |
|
|
Cefepime
|
Fourth generation cephalosporin. Great gram (-) coverage AND good gram (+) coverage. Effective against Pseudomanas.
|
|
|
Ceftriaxone
|
Third generation cephalosporin.
Used for the multi-drug resistant aerobic gram (-)s that cause nosocomial pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, and UTIs. |
|
|
Imipenem
|
New class of beta-lactam antibiotic.
Broades antibacterial activity known. (except MRSA, some Pseudomonas, and mycoplasma) |
|
|
Aztreonam
|
Monobactam. Magic bullet for gram (-) aerobes, including Pseudomonas.
|
|
|
Chloramphnicol
|
Anti-ribosomal antibx. Kills most clinically important bacteria.
|
|

Clindamycin
|
Anti-ribosomal antibx - Lincosamine.
Gram positives and ANAEROBIC INFECTIONS, including Bacteroides. |
|
|
Erythromycin
|
Macrolide, Anti-ribosomal antibx.
Gram positives (not active against gram -). Drug of choice for community-acquired pneumonia that does not require hospitalization. |
|
|
Azithromycin, Clarithromycin
|
Macrolide, Anti-ribosomal antibx.
Same coverage as erythromycin PLUS severe staph infections and even MAI |
|

Gentamicin
|
Aminoglycoside.
Aerobic gram negative enterics. Effective against Pseudomonas. |
|
|
Ciprofloxacin
|
Quinolone antibiotic.
Great against gram negatives, including Pseudomonas. Enterics, complicated UTIs, gram (-) facultative intracellular organisms. Also Staph aureus osteomyelitis. |
|
|
Vancomycin
|
ALL GRAM POSITIVES (Think opposite of aztreonam).
|
|
|
TMP/SMX
|
Inhibition of TH4 production. Kills many gram (-)s and (+)s. Mnemonic: TMPS - resp Tree, Mouth (GI), Pee (GU), and Syndrome (AIDS)
|
|
|
1st Generation cephalosporins.
|
Exceleent gram (+) coverage - esp when penicillin can't be tolerated.
