Name two basic Ab resistance factors in s.aureus
1. beta lactamase resistance- eno Secrete enzyme into ECM which cleaves carbon-nitrogen bond of beta lactam ring
2. PBP mutation (PBP2a)-- mecA gen... allows for MRSA
#1 cause of CA skin infections?
CA-MRSA
CA-MRSA compared to HA
6 main differences
1. more virulent strains
2. PVL and mec type IV mutations
3. PSM
4. USA3000
5. Easier to treat than HA
6. No healthcare risk factors
What is the theory that explains how CA-MRSA occured?
PVL (panton valentine leukocidin) cytotoxin that poke holes in leukocytes, infects MSSA, changes to MRSA with gene SCCmecIV
Name the many virulence factors of CA-MRSA
1. PVL
2. PSM- tend to have more than in HA-MRSA
3. USA300
4. ACME
5. Alpha hemolysin
How does a fool prevent MRSA??
1. Wash hands dope!
2. Reduce nose picking
3. wash genitals with dial sope
infected sebaceous cyst
staph scalded skin syndrome
If pt complains of pain way out of proportion to the physical exam with a slight red rash what might you suspect skin wise?
1. necrotizing fasciitis!- has to be opened to cut the dead stuff off, may require skin grafting
- U/S sees tissue plains
This type of skin problem tends to occur in diabetics and on the scrotum and butt
fournier's gangrene
fournier's gangrene
fournier's gangrene
Dry vs wet gangrene?
wet is bad!
wet- i.e. gas gangrene due to c. perfringens, hard to treat with Abs due to deep locations in tissue
dry- ischemic tissue wait to see black vs pink
What two drugs do you need to know interact with almost all drugs?
warfarin and phenobarbitol
Beta Lactam antibiotics general
a. MOA
b. Resistance
c. Static/cidal
d. A/E,
a. inhibit cell wall synthesis by bind to penicillin binding protein and inhibit transpeptidation step of petidoglycan synthesis
b. BETA-LACTAMASE, inactivation, reduced affinity for PBP, porins
c. cidal
d. allergic rxn, neurologic due to K+ increased in IV form (watch for kidney pts)
PARP (penicillinase resistant penicillins)
Which on is oral?
a. MOA
b. Resistance
c. Static/cidal
d. A/E,

a. cell wall synth (see beta lactam general)
b. PBP
c. cidal
d. Rash, diarrhea
Beta lactam antiB's Cephlasporins
a. MOA
b. Resistance
c. Static/cidal
d. A/E,
Which is workhorse?
Which is for pseudomonas?
a. inh cell wall synthesis
b. PBP
c. cidal
d. billiary sludge (cholesistitis- w/ ceftrioxone), fever (common), kernicteris, bleeding
Cephalexin= workhorse and oral
Cephtazodone= pseudomonas
Amoxicillin used with what to gain beta lactamase inh?
a. MOA
b. Resistance
c. Static/cidal
d. A/E,
used w/clavunate
a. cell wall inh
b. w/o clavunate beta lactamase and always PBP
c. cidal
d. if used on viral infection--> "amp rash" and cramping/nausea due to Clavunate
Clindamycin
a. MOA
c. Static/cidal
d. A/E,
a. 50s binder inh. dna synthesis
c. static but penetrates bone
d. C. diff colitis (MCC) due to killing natural flora of colon allowing c. diff to colonize and cause massive inflammation
Tetracyclines
a. MOA
c. Static/cidal
d. A/E,
Doxycycline (mc used)
a. aatRNA to Asite AT 30S
c. static so do not use if pt. is neutropenic
d. GI- diarrhea (if taken on empty stomach), , Tooth discoloring, enamel hypoplasia, Photosensitivity,
AVOID W/DAIRY
Sulfa drugs when is it given IV?
a. MOA
b. Resistance
c. Static/cidal
d. A/E,
TMP-SMZ (sulfaethoxazole) only IV for PCP treatment
