| organisms that are susceptible to 3nd generation ceph. | staph, strep, EKP, ESP, and pseudomonas |
| 4th generation cephalosporin | cefepime |

| cephalosporin used in neonates | cefotaxime |
| ceftriaxone | eliminated via biliary tract, longest half-life (24h) |

| beta-lactam adverse reactions | allergic rxns. GI-N/V/D, rare:renal toxicity, hematological toxicity |

| "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 |

| 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 |
