39 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Tx a pt for pseudomonas who is allergic to penicillins
Aztreonam (except acinetobacter) IV, IM
The cephalosporins that only cover gram +; tx for surgery prophylaxis and MSSE/MSSA
Cefazolin (IV)
Cephalexin (PO)
Only cephalosporin generation w/ anaerobic activity
2nd gen: cefotetan, cefoxitin

IV only- surgical pro; (+/-)
Sludging of the gall bladder
ceftriaxone

(+/-)
Pseudomonal coverage, less effective, more broad - 3rd gen
Ceftazidime IV

(+/-)
only PO 3rd gen cephalosporin
Cefopodoxime

(+/-)
Only 4th gen cephalosporin
Ceftepime IV

(+/-) + pseudomonas
used to tx enterococcus and lysteria by blocking glycosidic bonds and peptide bonds
Vancomycin
Narrow therapeutic index- must monitor trough
Vancomycin
Ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity = red man syndrome
Vancomycin
tx: C difficile
Vancomycin (PO)

only pathogen that you tx w/ PO vanco
pt allergic to penicillin needs to tx her staph infections, what can she use?
Vancomycin

no risk of cross-reactivity
Even though it covers gram positives, never ever use for HAP
Daptomycin

Pulmonary surfactant disables it
Can tx VRE enterococcus, listeria by irreversibly inserting itself into the cell wall
Daptomycin

as opposed to vanco who can only tx non vre enterococcus
fun Mnemonic : buy AT 30S, CCELL at 50S
AT: Aminoglycosides and tetracyclines (30S )

CCELL: Chlormaphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, linomycin and linizid (at 50S)
Inhibits peptide bond formation and translocation; resistance= alternated target site and efflux pump.
Macrolides
DOC for chlamydia
Azithromycin

IV, PO (gram + & some gram -)
Used to tx H. pylori; PO only
Clarithromycin
(gram + & some gram -)
Able to bind 2 spots on the ribosomes; domains II and V
Ketolidise (telithromycin)
SE: diarrhea, visual changes; only indication is CAP
Telithromycin
similar coverage to macrolides w/ less resistance + SE: liver failure
Telithromycin
Highest risk for inducing C diff diarrhea
Clindamycin
good for anaerobes above the waste, identically similar to Macrolides MOA
Clindamycin


differ: covers only + and anaerobes--> IV and PO. NO HA-MRSA, only CA-staph
Covers +, -, (including MRSA) and VRE and affects an earlier stage of synthesis (initiation)
linezolid

IV, PO
SE: BMS, Serotinin syndrome
Linezolid
vancomycin resistance enterococcys faeciium drug
Quinpristin- dalfopristin
Prevents tRNA to mRNA w/ highest rate of resistance
Tetracyclines

IV, PO
SE: tooth discoloration, failure to grow, photosensitivity
Tetracyclines

d/t chelation w/ di and tri cations
PO, shorting acting, if left in the medicine cabinet past its expiration date it will decompose into a toxic product
Tetracycline
2nd line for CAP, COPD
Doxycycline
DOC for lyme dz, Q fever, Rocky mountain fever
Doxycycline

IV and PO
longer acting
hepatic
30S; MOA identical to tetracycline. Only IV and covers -, + and anerobes
Glycylcyclines
Prevents efflux pumps by its long tail, cannot give to kids under 8, preggers or anyone breast feeding
Glycylcyclines
inhibits activity of peptidyltransferase (50S)
Chloramphenicol

gray baby- glucuronidation
Causes misreading of codons and blocks translocation. 30S
aminoglycosides
Enters the cell via active transport which allows resistance to develop how?
Aminoglycosides

by decreasing the permeability, the aminoglycosides cannot enter the cell
Narrow therapeutic Index- peaks and trough monitoring is recommended.
Aminoglycosides (IV)

only works on aerobes
In aminoglycosides: peak shows _____ and trough shows ______
peak- efficacy
trough- toxicity
1) tx: serratia marcescens
2) tx:Pseudomonas aeruginosa and acinetobacter
3) tx: resistant strains
1) Gentamycin
2) Tobramycin
3) Amikacin
