Term
Name the drug: prevents bacterial protein synthesis by binding 30s
Definition
tetracycline
Term
is tetracycline bacteriostatic?
Definition
yes
Term
What are the clinical applications for tetracycline?
Definition
Infections caused by mycoplasma, chlamydiae, rickettsiae, some spirochetes, malaria, H pylori, acne
Term
Name the drug: oral, mixed clearance, dosed every 6 hrs, divalent cations impair oral absorption. Tox - GI upset, hepatotoxicity, photosensitivity, deposition in bone and teeth

tetracycline

How does doxycycline compare to tetracycline?

oral and IV, longer half life (18hr) so dosed twice daily, nonrenal elimination, minimally effected by divalent cations, used for CAP and bronchitis exacerbation
Term
How does minocycline compare to tetracycline?
Definition
oral, longer half life (16hr) so dosed twice daily, frequently causes reversible vestibular toxicity
Term
How does tigecycline compare to tetracycline?
Definition
IV, unaffected by common tetracycline resistance mechanisms, very broad spectrum against G+, G- and anaerobes, nausea and vomiting are primary toxicities
Term
Erythromycin: MOA?

Is erythromycin bacteriostatic?
Definition
yes
Term
What are the clinical applications for erythromycin?

oral, unaffected by efflux-mediated resistance, so it's active against many erythromycin-resistant strains of pneumococci, rare cases of fulminant hepatic failure

Name an oxazolidinone
Definition
linezolid
Term
What kind of drug is linezolid?
Definition
oxazolidinone
Term
Quinupristin-dalfopristin: MOA?
Definition
prevents bacterial protein synthesis by binding 50s
Term
chloramphenicol: MOA?
Definition
prevents bacterial protein synthesis by binding 50s
Term
is clindamycin bacteriostatic?
Definition
yes
Term
Name the drug: oral, IV, hepatic clearance (half life 2.5h), dosed every 6-8 hrs, tox- GI upset, difficile colitis
Definition
clindamycin
Term
Is quinupristin-dalfopristin bacteriostatic?
Definition
no, rapid bactericidal activity against most susceptible bacteria
Term
What are the clinical applications for quinupristin-dalfopristin?
Definition
infections caused by staphylococci or vancomycin-resistant strains of E. faecium
Term
Name the drug: IV, hepatic clearance, dosed every 8-12 hrs, cytochrome p450 inhibitor, tox: severe infusion-related myalgias and arthralgias
Definition
quinupristin-dalfopristin
Term
Is chloramphenicol bacteriostatic?
Definition
yes
Term
What are the clinical applications for chloramphenicol?
Definition
use is rare in the developed world due to serious toxicities
Term
Name the drug: oral, IV, hepatic clearance (half life 2.5 hr), tox: dose-related anemia, idiosyncratic aplastic anemia, gray baby syndrome
Definition
chloramphenicol
Term
Linezolid: MOA?
Definition
prevents bacterial protein synthesis by binding 23s ribosomal RNA of 50s subunit
Term
is linezolid bacteriostatic?
Definition
yes
Term
What are the clinical applications for linezolid?
Definition
