2) Cephalosporins
3) Β-Lactamase inhibitors
4)Monobactams
5) Carbapenems
Term
Activity of Beta-Lactams
Definition
i.Bactericidal
ii.Time-dependent
iii.Post-Antibiotic Effect
Term
Β-Lactamases
Definition
Resistance to B-Lactams
Term
Absorption of B-Lactams
Definition
Poor to modest oral bioavailability
Term
Distribution of B-Lactams
Definition
1) Wide extracellular distribution (but not good intracellular penetration)
2) Good penetration in extracellular fluids
3) Poor penetration into deep tissues and certain compartments (e.g. CNS; prostate) but enhanced by inflammation
Term
Metabolism of B-Lactams
Definition
Little or no metabolism
Term
Elimination of B-Lactams
Definition
Renal Elimination (High in Urine Concentrations)
Term
Adverse Effects of B-Lactams
Definition
1) Dose-Dependent (Type A)

2) Allergies (Type B)

Cross reactions possible between beta-lactams but not likely.
Term
Types of Penicillins (4)
Definition
1) Basic penicillins
2) Aminopenicillins

Definition
1.Gram + and Gram – (including Pseudomonas and Proteus) including anaerobes
2. Less efficient against Gram +
Term
Penicillin Combinations:

Synergy with Aminoglycosides
Definition
CANNOT be mixed in a syringe as are incompatible in vitro!
Term
Penicillin Toxicity and Contraindications
Definition
1) Type A: Dose Dependent
- GI upset
-Cardiac arrest
-CNS toxicity
2) Type B- Allergic reactions
- relatively frequent
-cross reactivity between penicillins; with cephalosporins.
Term
Penicillin Clinical Use:

Should Anti-pseudomonals be used empirically or as first line antibiotics?
Definition
NOOO! Always run sensitivty!
Term

3) 3rd Generation
4) 4th Generation- human med only
Term
Is there a significant difference between drugs inside one generation group?
Definition
Yes! Always check literature!

Examples: Some Enterobacteriacae, Pseudomonas
Term
Cephalosporin Spectrum of Action
Definition

Term
Cephalosporins Pharmacokinetics
Definition
-Exctracellular distribution
-low penetration in deep tissue and compartments; better than penicillins though and enhanced by inflammation.
Term
