Question
Answer
first commericially available oxazolidinone antibiotic   linezolid  
🗑
linezolid mechanism of action   binds 23S portion of 50S subunit close to the peptidyl transferase and chloramphenicol binding sites; stops 30S and 50S from binding together - prevents protein synthesis  
🗑
linezolid spectrum   gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative anaerobic species (no Gram-neg aerobes) Multi-drug resistant organisms such as MRSA, staphyl with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin, penicillin- and macrolide-resistant pneumococci and VRE fully susceptible  
🗑
linezolid clinical use   save it for the nasty stuff - usually reserved for the treatment of serious bacterial infections where older antibiotics have failed due to antibiotic resistance; skin infections or nosocomial pneumonia with methicillin/penicillin resistance  
🗑
linezolid PK   almost 100% bioavailability; AUC almost identical after oral and iv. administration  
🗑
linezolid SEs   Thrombocytopenia in use for longer than 2 weeks; is a MAOI and can't be used with tyramine containing foods or pseudoephedrine  
🗑
group of natural cyclic peptides produced by bacteria, consists of two structurally unrelated molecules   streptogramins  
🗑
strepogramins mechanism of action   bind to distinct sites on the 50S ribosomal subunit. Cooperate to inhibit protein synthesis  
🗑
Synercid   Quinupristin/dalfopristin - streptogramin approved by FDA  
🗑
Streptogramin spectrum (general)   Active against most gram positive bacteria and most respiratory pathogens including pneumococci, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophilia, Chlamydia pneumoniae  
🗑
Streptogramin spectrum (special)   90% of Staph. aureus and coagulase negative staphylococci including MR strains; pencillin resistant pneumococci; Enterococcus faecium including strains which are resistant to ampicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin. Not active against E. faecalis  
🗑
Streptogramin metabolism (Quinupristin/dalfopristin - Synercid)   metabolized by liver and excreted in bile  
🗑
Streptogramin SEs   infusion site reactions  
🗑
streptogramin interactions   potent CYP3A4 inhibitor  
🗑
Streptogramin clinical use   bacteremia and life-threatening infection caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF); complicated skin structure infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes  
🗑
