inhibit membrane functions - ANS Leptopeptides
Polymyxin
antimicrobial selection - ANS •1. Clinical diagnosis
•2. Obtain cultures/specimens
•3. Microbial diagnosis based on most likely organism or culture/test result
•4. Select appropriate medication
•5. May need to change drug based on culture/sensitivity test results
empiric therapy - ANS treatment of an infection before specific culture information has been reported
or obtained
definitive therapy - ANS antibiotic therapy tailored to treat organism identified with cultures
prophylactic therapy - ANS •treatment with antibiotics to prevent an infection, as in intraabdominal
surgery or after trauma
Beta-lactam antibiotics - ANS •Penicillins
•Cephalosporins
·Monobactams
·Carbapenems
, Beta-lactamase inhibitors- Beta-lactamase inhibitor blocks the activity of beta-lactamase enzymes
preventing the degradation of beta lactam antibiotics
Antibiotics in this category (penicillins, cephalosporins & certain miscellaneous compounds) contain a
beta lactam ring that is essential for activity but is also susceptible to hydrolysis by beta-lactamases,
destroying the antimicrobial action of the compound. (Some agents are resistant to destruction by the
beta lactamases). Beta-lactamase-producing staphylococci cause about 80% of community-acquired
staph infections.
Beta Lactam ABX are bactericidal when concentrations exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration
(MIC) for the pathogen for 50% of the dosing interval.
Monobactams & carbopenems are used for treating serious infections and are administered to
inpatients.
natural penicillin ` - ANS PCN V -PO, Prociane & Benzathine PCN -IM, PCN G- IV
aminopenicillins - ANS Ampicillin & Amoxicillin
Penicillinase-resistant penicillins - ANS Nafcillin, Oxacillin, Cloxacillin, Dicloxacillin
anti-pseudomonal penicillins - ANS Piperacillin, Ticarcillin
beta lactum penicillin pharmacodynamics - ANS §Inhibit the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan bacterial cell
wall
§Sensitivity
§Natural penicillins: Streptococcus, some Enterococcus strains, some non-penicillinase-producing
Staphlococcus
§Aminopenicillins greater activity against gram-negative bacteria due to enhanced ability to penetrate
the outer membrane organisms
