Question
Answer
Ampicillin-spectrum   gram + cocci (Haemophilus influenzae) and entococci (E. coli & Salmonella); used alone or w/ probenecid for gonococcal infections  
🗑
Amoxicillin:why preferred   produces higher blood levels, better absorbed, less frequent dosing, drug of choice premed  
🗑
Amoxicillin-spectrum   upper resp tract infections (H. influenzae), UTI (E.coli) meningitis (H.influenzae), Otitis media in children  
🗑
ampicillin   most likely to produce a rash of all pcn's, more common in people w/ mono, seen in patients taking allopurinol.  
🗑
carbenecillin   wider spectrum of action than pcn g; special activity against P. aeruginosa: gram- anaerobic rod (blood, lung or burn infections) and some strains of Proteus (g- flagellated bacillae) and E.coli  
🗑
carbenecillin   TREATS SYSTEMIC INFECTIONS  
🗑
Clindamycin spectrum   very active against several anaerobes, g+ mo's and anaerobic Bacteriodes species  
🗑
clindamycin   can cause pseudomembranous colitis  
🗑
clindamycin moa   interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis  
🗑
clindamycin   Bacterial resistance acts in a slower manner. Occuring by mutations in the bacterial ribosomes that decrease in the binding capacity of the drug.  
🗑
cross resistance   between clindamycin and erythromycin is often seen-they are antagonists  
🗑
clindamycin:adverse effects   GI, pseudomembranous colitis, suprainfection of candida albicans, oral allergic reatctions include GLOSSITIS and STOMATITIS (oral mucosa inflammation) edema and serum sickness  
🗑
metronidazole aka   Flagyl  
🗑
metronidazole: spectrum   BACTERIOCIDAL: action against most anaerobes ie. Bacterioides, fusobacterium, veillonella, treponema, clostridium, peptococcus, campyloacter adn peptostreptococcus: includes protozoa Tricomonas vaginalis and E. Histolytica  
🗑
metronidazole: moa   cytotoxic to bacterial cells, freely enters cells and prevents DNA synthesis leading to death of mo. Also has some antiinflammatory effects  
🗑
metronidazole: pharmacokinetics   well absorbed orally, somewhat concentrated in gingival crevicular fluid, producing concentrations that are bacteriocidal for periodontal pathogens  
🗑
metronidazole: distribution   saliva, spinal fluid, and breast milk in concentrations approximating that of the serum  
🗑
metronidazole: oral effects   xerostomia, metallic taste, altered taste of alcohol (sometimes used to treat alcoholics) glossitis, stomitis, black furred tongue  
🗑
metronizole: drug interactions   alcohol, phenobarbital and phenytoin (Dilantin)  
🗑
metronidazole: uses dental   many perio infections b/c of anaerobic efficacy NO ACTION AGAINST AA: combo w/ amoxicillin to treat juvenile and refractory perio  
🗑
