Therapeutic Uses Sulfonamides UTIs otitis media lower RTIs MRSA *phrophylaxis in Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia
Therapeutic Uses Cephalosporins 5th Gen MRSA
Therapeutic Uses Vancomycin MRSA Endocarditis clostridium difficile infections
Therapeutic Uses oxazolidinone (linezolid-Zyvox) MRSA VRE other Gram + infections
Therapeutic Uses Quinolones or Flouroquinolones Bone and joint infections eye infections serious RTIs Serious UTIs Anthrax *use for more serious and difficult to treat Gram - infections
Therapeutic Uses Tetracyclines acne anthrax chronic bronchitis Lyme disease mycoplasma pneumoniae (walking pneumonia) Rickettsia (Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever) some STIs (like chlamydia)
Therapeutic Uses cyclic lipopeptide (daptomycin-Cubicin) complicated skin/skin structure infections staphylococcus aureus blood infections
Therapeutic Uses Nitroimidazole (metronidazole-Flagyl) amebic dysentery bacterial vaginosis clostridium difficile Giardia infections helicobacter pylori ulcers intestinal infections STIs (Trichomonos)
Therapeutic Uses Aminoglycosides life threatening infections Gram - sepsis infections in patients w/ compromised immune system peritonitis *often prescribed in conjunction w/ other antibiotics, works synergistically
Therapeutic Uses Macrolides STIs RTIs pneumonia -mycoplasma & streptococcus influenza Legionnaires' Disease *used w/ other drugs to treat infection caused by helicobacter pylori ulcers
Therapeutic Uses Lincosamides anaerobic pneumonia staphyloccus aureus acne streptococcus pneumoniae & pyogenes bone&joint infections gynecologic infections intra abdominal infections sepsis dental work skin and soft tissue infections bowel infections
Therapeutic Uses Carbapenems & Monobactams meropenem: bacterial meningitis, intra abdominal infections sepsis, intra abdominal infections, peritonitis, complicated skin/skin structure infections, complicated UTIs, ertapenem: severe community acquired infections
Therapeutic Uses Cephalosporins 1st Gen mild to moderate community acquired infections, dental work, oral infections as surgical prophylaxis: cefazolin: heart/pacemaker, neurosurgical, OB/GYN, orthopedic
Therapeutic Uses Cephalosporins 2nd Gen Pediatric: Haemophilus influenzae Children: otitis media RTIs, UTIs, sinus infections, dental work, oral infections, intra abdominal infections
Therapeutic Uses Cephalosporins 3rd Gen Parenteral: UTIs, Meningitis ER settings for severe infections STIs
Therapeutic Uses Cephalosporins 4th Gen pneumonia UTIs Sepsis hospital acquired infections
Therapeutic Uses Penicillins Abscesses, beta-helolytic streptococcus, meningitis, otitis media, pneumonia, RTIs, strep pharyngitis, tooth and gum infections, STIs, endocarditis due to spreptococci
Therapeutic Use Nitrofurantoin UTIs
MOA: Block protein formation Lincosamides Tetracyclines Macrolides Aminoglycosides
MOA: Binds to bacterial membrane, causing cell membrane depolarization, leading to inhibition of DNA/RNA synthesis Class: cyclic lipopeptide drug: daptomycin (Cubicin)
MOA: inhibits bacterial protein synthesis Class: oxazolidinone drug: linezolid (Zyvox)
MOA: interferes with DNA coiling/replication of nucleic acid formation Quinolones or Fluoroquinolones
MOA: prevents folic acid synthesis sulfonamides
MOA: impair cell wall formation penicillins, cephalosporins
MOA: "probably" works by inhibiting cell wall formation vancomycin
MOA: inhibit formation of cell wall carbapenems and monobactams
MOA: disrupting DNA structure metronidazole
MOA: disrupting cell membranes daptomycin
-floxacin quinolones or fluoroquinolones
Pen -cillin Penicillins
sulf sulfonamides
Ceph -cef Cephalosporins
-penem carbapenems
-am monobactams
-mysin macrolides and lincosamides
-cin aminoglycosides
-cyclines tetracyclines
Mixed infections with gram + and - bacteria carbapenems
Broad spectrum gram + and - tetracyclines sulfonamides nitrofurantoin 2nd 3rd 4th 5th cephalosporins lincosamides and macrolides
Mainly Gram - but also SOME Gram + quinolones or fluoroquinolones
Gram - monobactams
Gram + Penicillins 1st Gen Cephalosporins Vancomycin
Effective against Fungi & Bacteria metronidazole (Flagyl)
Low doses = Bacteriostatic High doses = Bactericidal Lincosamides and Macrolides
Synergistic- works in combo well with other antibiotics aminoglycosides

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
