Question
Answer
Aminoglycoside resistance   Plasmid- via modifying enzymes (acetyl, phosp, adenyltrasferace  
🗑
Aminoglycoside ADME   Poor abs, poor CNS& pulminory, 2% metabolized, glomular and renal secretion  
🗑
Aminoglycoside SE risks   Nephrotoxcity (dose, duration, female, liver dx) ototoxcity  
🗑
Vancomycin ADME   Poor, (treatment of C.diff), Poor CNS, 50% protein bound, Vd-0.7L/Kg, 5% metabolism, glomerular filtration CL=0.7*CrCl  
🗑
Vancomycin SE risks   Nephrotoxcity (other nephrotoxicns, age, renal dys, elevated troughs)  
🗑
Vancomycin resistance   Alterations in D-alanyl-D-lactate to inhibit binding  
🗑
Aminoglycoside monitoring parameters   Cmax, Cmin, CrCL, ototoxcity  
🗑
Vancomicym monitoring parameters   Cmin, and in patients with comorbidities, CrCl, Camx  
🗑
What are peak and trough levels for Tobra, Genta, neli   Peak severe 8-10mg/L, moderate 6-8mg/L, low 1-6mg/L Trough <2mg/L  
🗑
What are peak and trough levels for amikacin   Peak severe 25-30mg/L other 20-25mg/L Trough <10mg/L  
🗑
Efficacy considerations of aminoglycosides   Concentration dependant drug, post-receptor effect, adaptive resistance= Get Cmax:MIC 10-12 ratio  
🗑
Post antibiotic effect is   Suppression of growth after concnetraton falls below MIC due to inhibition of doubling of organism. Initial dose very important  
🗑
Adaptive resistance   Organisms that initially survive adapt and can see MIC change after second dose= Huuge Cmax  
🗑
Aminoglycoside toxcity is related to   Duration of therapy. Glomerular is saturated thus maxing dose does not hurt kidneys not inner ear.  
🗑
Aminoglycoside high dose advantages   High Cmax bug, decrease adaptive resistance, decrease toxcity,decrease drug monitoring, decrease cost, convience  
🗑
Diadvantage of Aminoglycoside 1 day dosing   Little clinical experience or comfort, Lack of data in certain patient populations (higher risk sepsis, febrile neutropenia) monitoring and ranges not well established  
🗑
Initial dosing of aminoglycosides is   6-7mg/kg QD. We may need to increase or decrease the length of the interval  
🗑
Problems to consider in 1 daily dosing of aminoglucosides   Renal insufficiency, neutropenic infections, endocarditis, critically ill, burn pt., pregnancy, neonates, cystic fibrosis  
🗑
Hartford nomogram dosing   Administer 7mg/kg to every patient and infuse over 1 hr. Based on CrCl patients are then dosed and interval is adjusted as well.  
🗑
Hartford monitoring   Obtain midpoint between 6 and 14 hours after startign infusion and plot on nomogram.  
🗑
Limitations od Hartford   Assumes that 7mg/kg will reach a Cmax:MIC ratio of 10 for P. auriginosa, and Vd =0.31 what if altered, ClCr  
🗑
Method of monitoring Aminoglycoside-Peak   Measures efficacy but not toxcity (Cmin)  
🗑
Methods of monitoring aminoglycosides Peak and Trough   Consider peak and trough w/in 3 first doses(PK alterations) but trough can become undetectable-no calculations  
🗑
Methods of monitoring aminoglycosides peak and midpoint   Avoids unreadable trough and allows calculations  
🗑
Methods of monitoring aminoglycosides Trough only   Only assures toxicity but lacks efficacy monitoring  
🗑
Vancomycin peak and trough concentrations are   Peak-25-40mg/L and trough 5-15mg/L if sever trough15-20mg/L and if patient is failing 20-25mg/L  
🗑
Vancomycin risk of neprotoxicity   Combo therapy, age, renal dys, prolonged therapy with trough >15mg/L  
🗑
Vancomycin risk of ototoxcity   Reported at peak>80mg/L  
🗑
vancomycin monitoring positions   Standard of practive, potential ADE if outside TI, monitoring unwarranted, monitoring only for high risk patients  
🗑
Moniring parameters for vancomycin are   Cmin is major parameter, it is a time dependant drug. CL from patient specific concentrations  
🗑
MOA of Sulfonamides   Bacteriostatic analogue of PABA, bnds dihydropeteroate which catalyzes first step of dihydrofolic acid synthesis (decrease purine, thymidine-DNA)  
🗑
MOA of trimethoprim   Bacteriostatic, Structural analoge of dihydrofloic acid, binds enzyme dihydrofolate reductase and inhibits the concersion of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolic acid (decrease DNA)  
🗑
MOA of rifampin   Bactericidal binds B-subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase and inhibits the initiation of transcription  
🗑
MOA of nitrofurantion   Low concentrations bacteriostatic, high it is a bacteriocidal. Initially it is reduced to reactive metabolite which ROS react with nucleophilic sites.  
🗑
MOA of Chlorampenicol   Bacteriostatic, binds the 50 S ribosomal subunit. Bacteriocidal against S. pneumoniae, H.infl, N. meningitis  
🗑
Resistance of Sulfonamides   Intrinsic resistance- auxotrophic (E. faecailis uses exogenous folic acid) Aquired resistance -Single chromonomal mutation or plasmid mediated resistance  
🗑
Resistance of Trimethoprim   Aquired resistance via chromosoaml or plasmid mediated, decrease enzyme affinity, over production of enzyme, decreased porin permibility  
🗑
Resistance of Rifampin   Aquired mutation-single monotherapy leads to mutations to the RNA polymerase B-subunit. Always use as COMBO DRUG  
🗑
Resistance of Nitrofurantion   Aquired mutation to reduce ROS activityless active metabolite  
🗑
Sulfonamide Gram + aerobe activity   Actinomycetes, Listeria, nocardia, mycobacterium, Staph aures, Streptococci  
🗑
Sulfonamides Gram - activity   Burkholderia, enterobacteriaw,hameophilus, neisseria, Pseudomonas, stenotrophomas  
🗑
