        Help!  

Front
Back
Beta Lactam anti biotics   Workd by covalently binding the active site of a transpeptidase enzyme  
🗑
Beta lactams are bacteri----   Bactericidal  
🗑
Transpeptdase Enzymes   Catalyze the cross-linking reaction on PG polymers in synthesis of bacterial cell wall  
🗑
Beta lactam's selective toxicity due to   Mammalian cells not having cell wall.  
🗑
Baeta Lactams act only on   cells which are growing and synthesizing new cell wall material  
🗑
Beta Lactam Antibiotics Include   Penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems  
🗑
Penicillin   -Most allergenic of all antibiotcs. -All penicillins, new or old, are cross-sensitizing and cross reacting  
🗑
Penicillin undesirable properties   -rapid excretion -bacterial resistance - S. aureus penicillinase elaboration makes it resistanct to nearly all penicillins except methicillin-type penicillins -Strep viridans has some resistant strains  
🗑
problem of penicillin therapy   Hypersensitivity reactions. -resistance development.  
🗑
Penicillin drug interactions   bacteriostatic antibiotics. -oral contraceptives(decreases effectiveness of all oral contraceptives).  
🗑
Penicillin Derivatives   Penicillin G -Benzathine penicillin G -procaine penicillin G -Penicillin V  
🗑
Penicillin G antibacterial spectrum:   gram +, Neisserai spp., Some anaerobes  
🗑
Penicillin G administered via   parenteral route  
🗑
Uses of Penicillin G   beta-hemolytic strep, inf. w/pneumococci, meningococcal inf., syphilis, inf. by B. anthracis, other gram + inf.  
🗑
characteristics of Pen. G   acid labile, Poor absorption after oral administration, dosage measured in units-1600units/mg  
🗑
Benzathine Pen G. use   used for prolonged effects for beta-hemolytic strep. inf. ("strep throat"), Syphylis, other gram + inf.  
🗑
Benzathing Pen G also   are repository forms of Penicillin G. _lower, sustained blood levels  
🗑
Procaine Pen. G also   repository forms of PenG. -lower, sustained blood levers.  
🗑
Penicillin V antibacterial spectrum:   Only gram + aerobes and some anaerobes  
🗑
Penicillin V administered via   Oral route  
🗑
Penicillin V is...   Bactericidal. -Acid stable  
🗑
Penicillin G   1st penicillin discovered and used (alexander fleming, 1929)  
🗑
Penicillinase Resistant Penicillins   Methicillin, Cloxacillin, Oxacillin, Naficillin, Dicloxacillin  
🗑
Which are Acid Unstable   Methicillin  
🗑
Which are Acid Stable   Cloxacillin, Oxacillin, Naficillin, Dicloxacillin  
🗑
Methicillin used for   S. aureaus treatment  
🗑
#1 drug used in Hospitals   Methicillin  
🗑
Extended Spectrum Penicillins   Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid  
🗑
Extended Spectrum Penicillins have   broader spectrun than penicillin V  
🗑
Extended Spectrum Penicillins used for   gram - and gram + organisms  
🗑
amoxicillin and ampicillin used for   gram + & - aerobes and most oral anaerobes  
🗑
Extended Stectrum Antibiotics: Amoxicillin and Ampicillin have a greater propensity to cause   super-infections  
🗑
Amoxicillin and ampicillin are also active against   S. pyogenes, S. pnueumoniae, H. influenzae, Enterobacteriaceae, E.coli, and L. monocytogenes(menigitis)  
🗑
Why is resistance becoming a problem with amp and amox.   due to excessive use. Amox is #1 prescribed in US  
🗑
2 drugs adequately absorbed ad ter oral administration   Amoxicillin and Ampicillin  
🗑
Absorption reduced with food in   Ampicillin  
🗑
good absortption after oral administration even with food   Amoxicillin  
🗑
Why combine Amox or Amp with Clavulanic acid   it protects the antibiotics from penicillinase produced by Staphylococci  
🗑
Specific Purpose penicillins are   Ticarcillin, Piperacillin, Aztocillin, Mezlocillin  
🗑
relatively non toxic antibiotic of specific purpose   Ticarcillin  
🗑
Ticarcillin's use is   reserved for serious infections of Pseudomonas ssp. and Indole positive proteus ssp.  
🗑
anti-pseudomonas penicillins   piperacillin, Axlocillin, Mexlocillin  
🗑
for Ticarcillin you must   test bacterial susceptibility due to large variations in sensitivity of various strains of pseudomonas and proteus  
🗑
