MN553 Pharmacology Unit 6Causes of drug resistance - ANSPeople not completing their antibiotics/inappropriate use,
overuse of broad spectrum ABO's
Every ABO class has_____________________ - ANSresistance organisms
Vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine has - ANSdecreased resistance
Inhibits the biosynthesis of peptidogylcan bacterial cell wall, bactericidal: -
ANSPharmacodynamics of penicillin
4 classes of penicillin - ANSpenicillin, aminopenicillin, penicillinase-resistant-penicillins,
antipsuedomonal penicillins
Penicillin G, Aqueous penicillin G, Procaine Pcn G, Benzathine Pcn G, PCN V - ANSPenicillin
class, works on Strep group A&B (Gram+)
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin - ANSAminopenicillins, work better for gram -, also active against gram +
Methicillin, Nafcillin, Oxacillin, Dicloxacillin - ANSPenicillinase-resistant-penicillins (2nd
generation pcn)
penicillinase - ANSenzyme produced by bacteria that destroy the beta lactam rink of the
antibiotic making penicillin ineffective.
titarcillin Piperacillin - ANSAntipseudomonal penicillin's that are combined with calvulanate
Carbenicillin - ANSantipseudomonal penicillin
Bactericidial - ANSinhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis (PCN, Cephalosporins)
Diuretics - ANScan interact with PCN, hypo/hyperkalemia
Methotrexate - ANSinteract with PCN, increase Methotrexate level
Oral Contraceptives - ANSPCN may reduce efficacy
Probenecid - ANSinteract with pcn, delay renal elimination, increase blood levels
Tetracyclines - ANSInteract with PCN, due to bacteriostatic action of tetracycline
, Warfarin - ANSInteract with PCN, increase risk of bleedin
Beta Blockers - ANSinteract with ampicillin, reduces bioavailability
Allopurinol - ANSinteracts with ampicillin, more likely to develop rash
Cyclosporine - ANSinteracts with Nafcillin, produces subtherapeutic cyclosporine levels
Colestipol - ANSinteracts with PCN G by decreasing absorption
Cholestryramine - ANSinteracts with PCN, by decreasing absorption
antimicrobial therapy for bronchitis is appropriate when - ANScough of <3wks, and sputum
production and volume, sputum purulence, increased dypnea
