organisms that are susceptible to 1st generation ceph. staph, strep, and EKP
2nd generation cephalosporins cefuroxime, cefprozil, etc, acute otitis media, sinusitis, pharyngitis
organisms that are susceptible to 2nd generation ceph. staph, strep, EKP, and Hae. inf
3rd generation cephalosporins Cefotaxime, ceftiaxone, ceftazidime, CAP, meningitis, febrile neutropenia
organisms that are susceptible to 3nd generation ceph. staph, strep, EKP, ESP, and pseudomonas
4th generation cephalosporin cefepime
organisms that are susceptible to 4th generation ceph. all above but more resistant to bactam lactamase than 3rd
against anaerobes cephamycins and carbapenems
cephalosporin used in neonates cefotaxime
ceftriaxone eliminated via biliary tract, longest half-life (24h)
ceftazidime inducer of multi-resistant organisms (ESBL production), activity against psuedomonas
beta-lactam adverse reactions allergic rxns. GI-N/V/D, rare:renal toxicity, hematological toxicity
risk of cross allergy with cephalosporin if an allergy to pen? 1-10%, 1st>2nd>3rd, carbapenems similar risk as about 3rd genertation, severe prior rxn, change med, if not proceed with caution
"original" penicillins spectrum and uses strep, pneumococci, enteroco, h. influ (penicillin still best for strep), URTIs, dental prophylaxis for endocarditis, UTI by enterococci, syphilis
Procaine qd
Benzathine q weekly
beta-lactam PK concentration-independent, time above the MIC matters
antistaph penicillins and therapeutic uses? dicloxacillin, nafcillin, SST, osteomylitis, endocarditis
antipseudomonal penicillins? piperacillin(longer half-life and more active), and ticarcillin, used with b-lactam inhibitor
organism that does not display PAE in vitro but does in vivo only gram positive that does not is: streptococci, no PAE with penicillins and cephalosporins, but with AG, FQ, carbapenems, etc
Organism(s) that has ABX resistance-decreased permeability channels change shape of decrease in number-pseudomonas
Organism(s) that has ABX resistance-efflux pump S. pneumoniae(macrolides), E. coli(quinolones)
Organism(s) that has ABX resistance-drug inactivation ex:beta-lactamase, Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbaoenemase(all beta-lactams including carbapenems)
Have activity against extended spectrum beta-lactamases carbapenems
MRSA is resistant to: all beta lactams
1st generation quinolone nalidixic acid
percentage of resistance of macrolides to strep pneumo? 51%
VRSA can still be treated with new or investigationsal drugs-quinupristin/dalfopristin(Synercid), linezolid (Zyvox), daptomycin(Cubicin), and tigecycline(Tygacil)
quinolone MOA target two sites: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV
quinolone, sulfa, nitrofurantoin, and tetracycline PK concentration-dependent
quinolone SE tendinitis, cartilage erosion with weight bearing joints, QT prolongation, urine crystallization, insomnia, HAs, GI reflx, photosensitivity
2nd generation quinolones ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin(Floxin), activity against gm - including pseudomonas, cirpo better, atypical bacteria, UTIs, chlamydia(ofl), PID(ofl), UT(cip), anthrax(cip_
3rd generation quinolones levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin,gatifloxicin discontinued due to insulin INX, gm- only levo against pseudomonas, cipro still #1, atypical bacteria, added activity against gm+, active against resistant strep. pneu
therapeutic uses for 3rd generation quinolones CAP, sinusitis, UTI and prostatitis, SST
difference btwn beta lactam and quinolones beta-conc. independent and acquire more gm- activity as generations progress, quinolones-conc dep and acquire more gm+ activity as generations progress
4th generation quinolone trovafloxacin, restricted use due to liver tox, added activity against anaerobes, slightly less pseudomonas
TMP/SMX trimethoprim MOA-binds to DHFRsulf MOA-competes with PABA for synthesis of dihydrofolic acid
TMP/SMX spectrum and uses gm- except pseudomonas, strep, staph, pnemococcus, and atypicals, UTIs, URTIs, SST
TMP/SMX SE photosensitivity, rash, crystallization of urine, rarer: blood count abnormalities Drug INX:warfarin, anticonvulsants
nitrofurantoin urinary antiseptic
tetracyclines inhibit protein syn, attach to 30s
tetracycline spectrum and uses atypicals, staph, strep, pneumococcus, gm- except pseudomonas, CAP, ACNE AND ROSACEA, skin and soft tissue, CA-MRSA, lyme disease, rocky mountain spotted fever
tetracycline SE GI upset, photosensitivty, discoloration of teeth, disposition into bones, CONTRA in kids under 8, drug INX: dairy, calcium, mg, iron
Quinupristin/Dalfoprisin (Synercid) activity against gm+ resistant infections(MRSA, MRSE and VREF, VRSA), target 50S, quin is late phase and dalf is early phase, weak alone 30/70 ratio, bacteriocidal, static against VRE, lots of drug INX and SE
Linezolid (Zyvox) oxazolidinone, interferes with early stages of protein synthesis, staphylococcus-cidal, streptococcus-static, enterococcus-static, well-tolerated, can be marrow toxic, drug INX with MAOIs and tyramines in food, $$$
Daptomycin (Cubicin) lipopeptide, cidal against gm+, binds to cm(calcium dependent) depolarizes cm by efflux of potassium, conc-dep, only abx that is cidal on its own against enterococcus, very rapid action vs. vanco, well-tolerated, $$, not in LUNGS
Tigecycline glycylcycline, binds to 30S, not affected by common abx resistance mechanisms, lots of common organisms gm+ and gm- but no pseudomonas, dosed bid but will probably go to qd, dose limited by N/V
macrolide MOA binds reversibly to 50S subunit of ribosome, inhibits elongation by blocking peptidyltransferase
macrolide PK conc-indep
eryth SE hard on stomach, take EC form, excreted in bile, clarith and azith easier on stomach, azith better tissue penetration and longer half-life compared to clarith(metallic taste)
eryth and clarith drug INX inhibit P450, increase conc of dig, warfarin, theophylline, cyclosporine, etc, azith no drug INX
