-
3 ways that anitmicrobials work
- disrupt cell wall (mammals have no cell wall)
- inhibit of unique microbial enzymes
- disrupt bacterial protein synthesis
-
bacteriostatic
vs
bacteriocidal
static= slow microbial growth but do not cause cell death
cidal= directly lethal to bacteria at clinically achievable concentrations
-
4 types of antimicrobial resistance
- dec [ ] of drug at the site (dec intake, inc export)
- Inactivate drug (enzyme- beta lactamase)
- Alter drug target receptor (change own structure)
- Produce antagonist (block receptors)
-
misuses of antimicrobials
- untreatable infections - virus
- incomplete Tx
- idiopathic fever
- improper dosage
- lack of id of microbe
- omission of surgical drainage
-
supra/superinfection
show up during treatment for of primary infection
-
what drugs weaken the bacterial cell wall?
- penicillins
- cephalosporins
- carbapenems
- monobactums
-
penicillins
- weaken cell wall, causing fluid intake and rupture
- bactericidal
- bacterial resistance
- - Gram neg wall is impervious to peni
- - beta-lactamase inactivates peni
-
classifications of penicillins
- narrow spectrum penicillinase sensitive
- narrow spectrum penicillinase resistant
- broad spectrum
- extended release
-
Beta-lactamase inhibitors
- Not given alone
- Must be prepared in combo with peni's
- Boost peni action
-
MRSA
methicillin resistant staph aureus
-
penicillin allergy
- type 1 hypersens
- mild to life threating
Use Cephalosporin for pt. with allergy
-
Tx of penicillin allergic rxn?
Epi and resp. support
-
Cephalosporin
- weaken cell wall
- most widely used group
- Beta-lactamase resistant

-
classifications of cephalosporins
(generations)
- next gen cephlo's attempt to be more:
- -beta-lactamase resistant
- -effective against gram negs
- -able to reach CSF
-
carbapenams
- cell wall weakener
- not effective against MRSA
-
Monobactams
- cell wall weakener
- narrow spectrum gram neg
-
Vancomycin / Lyphocin
inhibits cell wall synthesis
- used for severe infections
- - MRSA, C-Diff
- SE= ototoxicity
- = thrombophlebitis

-
Clindamycin / Cleocin
protein synth inhib
can cause super infect w/ C-Diff and bloody mucous stool
Indicated only for certain anaerobic infections located outside the CNS
-
Linezolid / Zyvox
- new protein synth inhib
- Oxazolidinone classification
- acts against mutli-drug resistant microbes
- - VRE and MRSA
-
Tigecycline / Tygacil
- new protein synth inhib
- Glycylycline classification
acts against broad spectrum of resistant microbes
-
Aminoglycosides
- narrow spectrum antibiotic
- create abnormal cell wall protein
resistance is growing
watch peak and trough very closely with this drug
-
Aminoglycosides adverse effects
- nephrotoxicity
- otoxicity
- hypersens rxns
- nueromuscular blockade (Ca+ salts)
- drug interactions (w/ penicillin in particular)
-
Gentamicin / Garamycin
Aminoglycoside
used for serious infections caused by aerobic gram-neg bacilli
Has toxic SE's
-
Sulfonamides / Sulfamethoxazol
- 1st antibiotic
- Inhib bacterial folic acid production
used for UTI's
- se= hypersense rxns
- = hematologic effects
- = kernicterus (bilirubin deposits in fetal brain
- --> Prego category X drug
- = Crystalluria
-
Trimethoprim / Proloprim
2nd gen sulfonamide
UTI only
still has Hematalogic effects
-
Sulfamethoxazol-Trimethoprim / SMZ/TMP
combo to dec dose and SE's
Bactrim or Septra
for uncomplicated UTI's
-
two or more drug types are recommended for simultaneous use for TB b/c of resistance
two or more drug types are recommended for simultaneous use for TB b/c of resistance
-
two phases of TB Tx regimen
- induction phase - 2 months
- Continuation phase
-
induction phase
continuation phase
- I= eliminate active TB
- = Isoniazid (INH)
- C= eliminate intracellular "persisters"
- = still using INH
-
DOT for TB
- Direct Observation Therapy
- can dose 2-3 times a week
-
TB drugs will interact with HIV drugs
TB drugs will interact with HIV drugs
-
Isoniazid / Laniazid / INH
- breaks down cell wall
- introduce with other, continue by it self
- se= peripheral neuropathy
- = vit B deficiency
