🗑
Cephalosporin mechanism   Penicillin but more resistant to β-lactamases.

🗑
3rd generation cephalosporins   Penicillin but more resistant to β-lactamases. The most NEGATIVE (serious G-) older brother (who has meningitis) TRIes to AX TAZ, the TAX guy. TAZ has Pseudomonas because he TRIes to have sex (gonorrhea). Ceftriaxone, Ceftazadime, Cefotaxime.

Name the cephalosporins that kill Pseudomonas   Taz Fep Fop: Ceftazidime (3rd), Cefepime (4th), Cefoperazone (4th)  
🗑
What drug to give for meningitis and why?   Give 3rd generation cephalosporins because they can cross the blood brain barrier: ceftriaxone, cefTAZidime, cefoTAXime.

🗑
Mechanism of Imipenem   Crosses out G+ cocci. Crosses out G- rods. Makes a noose for the anaerobes. Squeezes down in through the porins and binds to transpeptidase. Not broken down by β-lactamase, so bugs develop resistence to Imipenem by making porins smaller and by hydroly  
🗑
Imipenem is DOC for what organism?   Enterobacter  
🗑
Adverse effects of Imipenem   Squeezes through the porin channels so scratch up skin --> skin rash. Squeezed so much --> GI distress. Doubling over for tummy, hit head on side of porin channel --> CNS/seizures.  
🗑
How is meropenem different from Imipenem?   1. Not susceptible to dihydroxypeptidase so don't have to give with Cilastin, 2. less CNS/seizure effects.

🗑
Resistance against sulfonamides (SMX)   altered enzyme (bacterial dihydropteroate synthetase), decreased uptake, or increased PABA synthesis  
🗑
Resistance against Amantadine   Antiviral that blocks virus from taking off its viral coat (M2 protein). Resistance - virus makes a mutated M2 protein that Amantadine can't bind to.  
🗑
Resistance against Acyclovir   It needs to be activated/phosphorylated by viral thymidine kinase, so viruses that don't have thymidine kinase are therefore resistant to Acyclovir.  
🗑
