Aminoglycosides - Mean GNATS canNOT kill anaerobes;
Gentamicin, Neomycin, Amikacin, Tobramycin, Streptomycin
misreading of mRNA
Gram-negative rod infections
Nephrotoxicity, Ototoxicity, Teratogen
Ampicillin/amoxicillin spectrum - Gram positives and gram negative rods: HELPS kill enterococci
Haemophilus, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Proteus, Salmonella, enterococci
Antibiotics to avoid in pregnancy - SAFE Moms Take Really Good Care
Sulfonamides, Aminoglycosides, Fluoroquinolones, Erythromycin, Metronidazole, Tetracyclines, Ribavirin,
Griseofulvin, Chloramphenicol
Bacitracin Test: B-BRAS
Bacitracin:
Group B strep are Resistant
Group A strep are Sensitive
Bactericidal antibiotics - Very Finely Proficient At Cell Murder
Vancomycin, Fluoroquinolones, Penicillin, Aminoglycosides, Cephalosporins, Metronidazole
Bacteriostatic antibiotics -We're ECSTaTiC
Erythromycin, Clindamycin, Sulfamethoxazole, Trimethoprim, Tetracyclines, Chloramphenicol
Bloody Diarrhea - bloody diarrhea is SEECSY
Salmonella
EIEC/EHEC
Enteroamoeba
Campylobacter
Shigella
Yersinia enterocolitica
C. diptheria culture - TELL yoUR InTErn not to "Loeff" around (Tellurite Agar, Loeffler's test)
Carbohydrate metabolism of Neisseria - MeninGococci ferment Maltose and Glucose
Gonococci ferment Glucose
Causes of palm and sole rash - You drive CARS using your palms and soles
Cocksackievirus A (hand, foot, and mouth disease)
Rocky mountain spotted fever
Syphilis
CMV - congenital permanent signs/symtpoms = MR DICS - Microcephaly, Retardation, Deafness, Intracranial
Calcifications, Seizures
Gardnerella vaginalis I don't have a CLUE why I smell fish in the vagina garden!
Haemophilus influezae causes... haEMOPhilus
Epiglottitis
Meningitis
Otitis media
Pneumonia
...and #1 cause of conjunctivitis
Haemophilus should be cultured on.. Mom goes to five (V) and dime (X) to buy some Chocolate agar.
Klebsiella causes and infects - 4A's
Aspiration pneumonia
Abcess in lungs
Alcoholics
di-A-betics
Lactose-fermenting enteric bacteria (not just EEK from Recall) macConKEE's
Citrobacter
Klebsiella
E. coli
Enterobacter
Serratia"
Legionella stain & culture - Think of a French legionnaire (soldier) with his SILVER helmet, sitting around a
campfire (CHARCOAL) with his IRON dagger - he is no sissy (CYSTEINE)
Silver stain
Media with: Charcoal, Iron, L-cysteine"
Lyme disease manifestations - BAKE a key lyme pie
Bell's palsy
Arthritis
Kardiac block
Erythema migrans"
Metronidazole use - GET GAP on the METRO
Anaerobic infections below the diaphragm (vs Clindamycin)
Giardia, Entamoeba, Trichomonas, Gardnerella vaginalis, Anaerobes (Bacteroides, Clostridium), H. Pylori
(use with bismuth and amoxicillin or tetracyclin for triple therapy)
