name the 1st gen tetracyclines
Oxytetracyline

Tetracycline

Demeclocycline
name the 2nd gen tetracyclines
-doxycline
-minocycline
are first gen tetracyclines used?
so much resistance now, not usually used, 2nd gen tetra are used more
moa of tetracyclines

remember clean tag
-Inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 30 S ribosomal subunit

-Entry into the cell
- Gram (-): passive diffusion through the porin proteins followed by energy
dependent active transport
- Gram (+): less well understood, does require energy-dependent transport
system
tetracyclines are static or cidal
static
macrolides are statis or cidal
static
spectrum of activity of tetracyclines
In vitro activity greater for gram (+) than gram (-), high level of resistance for gram (-)

Gram (+) Streptococcus spp.
Staph. aureus (mino>doxy>>tetra)

Gram (-) H. influenzae
Neisseria spp. (PCN sensitive only, high resistance)
Vibrio cholerae - DOC
Campylobacter jejuni
Pasteurella multocida

Anaerobes (G-) Bacteroides spp.
(doxy>mino>tetra; doxy < other anaerobic antibiotic)

no, high level of resistance for gram -
doc of vibrio cholerae

Rickettsial spp. - DOC
Treponema pallidum (syphilis)
Mycobacterium marinum
Legionella spp.
doc for tetracyclines
-vibrio cholerae
- rickettsial
-clamydia spp
1st and 2nd gen tetra affect with food
-TCN: 60 – 80%, decreased with food
- Doxycycline (95%), minocycline (100%) - effect of food is insignificant

1st gen is affected by food,2nd gen is not affected by food
tetracycline distribution
-Wide distribution throughout the body
- Excellent penetration into most fluids and tissues including CSF
- Doxycycline and minocycline are more lipid soluble superior tissue
penetration
- Crosses placenta and secreted in breast milk, accumulates in fetal bone and teeth
advantages of 2nd gen tetra
- food does not affect absorption
- doxy and minocycline are more lipid soluble--> superior tissue penetration
tetracyclines are safe in pregancy and lactation
no bc crosses placenta and secreted in breast milk, accumulated in fetal bone and teeth
tcn elimination
doxycycline
minocycline

which needs dosage adjustment
tcn- renal

doxy- renal + hepatic, no adj in renal or heaptic dysfxn

minocycline- hepatic --> renal, dec dose in renal failure
do you have to dosage adjust for tetracycline in renal or hepatic
no, dnt have to worry about in renal or hepatic
half life of tcn, doxy, mino, who has the longest, shortest
- tcn= 8-11 hr
-doxy= 12-15 hr
-mino= 15 hrs
tetracycline adr
- gi:
- Diarrhea (TCN)
- N/V/epigastric discomfort
- Esophageal ulcerations/strictures (TCN, doxy – avoid use at bed time)
- Acute fatty necrosis of liver (rare, >2 gm/day TCN)

Photosensitivity

-Teeth/Bones:
- Brown-to-yellow permanent discoloration of teeth in children under 8, dose &
duration related
- Deposition of drug in teeth and bones during calcification process
- Depression of bone growth
- Avoid in children under 8 and during pregnancy/lactation

Renal:
- Aggravates uremia in ESRD patients, provokes catabolic effect by inhibiting
protein synthesis --> increased azotemia (TCN)
- Nephrogenic diabetes insipius (demeclocycline)

CNS:
- vestibular toxicity: dizziness,ataxia, N/V (minocycline)
tetra unique adr for gi and how to avoid
- esophageal ulcerations/strictures
(TCN, doxy- avoid use at bedtime)
- take at dinner, and take w/ full glass of h20
tetra pregnancy category
D
tetracycline drug interactions
-Reduced absorption by divalent/trivalent cation chelation
- Antacids containing Ca++, Mg++, & Al+++ (take 4 hrs before or 2 hrs after TCN)
- Iron & zinc supplements
- Dairy products
- TCN>>>Doxy>Mino

- Decreased efficacy of OCP by reducing conjugated estrogen levels
provide some patient education when dispensing tetracycline abx
- can cause esophageal ulcerations, so take at dinner w/ full glass of h20 and do not lie down for 30 mins
- do not give to children < 8yo bc it will permananetly discolor teeth
- if you have preganant or plan to be pregnant, do not take
- cz dizzziness, dec driving or any activity that require intense concentration
tigercycline brand name
tygacil
tigecycline class of antibiotics
glycylcyclines
tigercycline substitution is important bc
-broader spectrum of activity
-allows defense against efflux pump and ribosomal resistance mechanisms
moa of tigercycline
-Inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomal subunit
- Binding is 5 times stronger than TCNs
which gram + is Tigecycline effective vs
