Term
Aminoglycosides Group
Definition
Streptomycin
Spectinomycin
Neomycin
Gentamycin
Amikacin
Term
Aminoglycosides Mechanism of Action
Definition
inhibits ribosomal 30S subunit
30S is the smaller subunit of the 70S ribosome of prokaryotes. It is a complex of ribosomal RNA and ribonucleoproteins that functions in mRNA translation

inhibits protein synthesis
penetrates bacteria in oxygen-dependent mechanism
Term
Aminoglycosides Activity
Definition
bactericidal
concentration dependent
post-antibiotic effect
Term
Aminoglycosides Spectrum of Action
Definition
mainly gram -
only in aerobic conditions
less effective against Gram +
not effect against anaerobic bacteria or conditions
Term
Aminoglycosides Combinations
Definition
additive effect and synergy with any wall/membrane disruptor
this increases AG penetration inside the cell
can't be mixed in a syringe with penicillin

antagonizes other protein synthesis inhibitors
Term
Aminoglycosides Pharmacokinetics
Definition
inactivated in acidic environment and in pus
parenteral use only
extracellular distribution
good penetration in fluids, poor in deep tissues
activity enhanced by inflammation
renal elimination
activity decreases in presence of divalent cations (Ca, Mg)
Term
Aminoglycosides Adverse Effects
Definition
most toxic antibacterial
ototoxic (deaf, ataxia esp. cats)
neprhotoxic

if use longer than 10 days, multiple doses/day, impaired renal function, volume depletion, electrolyte imbalance, other nephrotoxic drugs
long post antibiotic effect and saturable in renal/ear cells
Term
Aminoglycosides Dosing Protocol
Definition
once daily to avoid toxic effects
avoid using with risk factors
fluid-therapy
add calcium or protein to diet
UA monitoring
drug monitoring
Term
Aminoglycosides Clincal Usage
Definition
avoid using in food animals
Term
Tetracyclines Group
Definition
Tetracycline
Oxytetracycline
Chlortetracycline
Doxycycline
Term
Tetracyclines Mechanism of Action
Definition
inhibits protein synthesis
Term
Tetracyclines Activity
Definition
bacteriostatic
time dependent
Term
Tetracyclines Spectrum of Action
Definition
4 quadrants and protozoa and beta lactamase +
extra and intracellular bacteria and mycoplasma
Term
Tetracyclines Combinations
Definition
di and trivalent cations antagonize
antiacids, mineral or iron supplements
Term
Tetracyclines Pharmacokinetics
Definition
absorbed orally
decreased absorption with food or containing Ca, Mg, Al, Fe (like milk)
use orally on fasted animals
extra and intracellular distribution
enter most deep tissues
mixed liver and renal elimination
doxycycline is 100% liver elimination
Term
Tetracyclines Adverse Effects
Definition
GI upset, inflammation at injection site
alters GI flora
Term
Macrolides Group
Definition
erythromycin
spiramycin
tulathromycin
tylosin
tilmicosin
Term
Macrolides Mechanism of Action
Definition
inhibits protein synthesis via 50S ribosomal subunit
Term
Macrolides Activity
Definition
bacteriostatic
time dependent
Term
Macrolides Pharmacokinetics
Definition
inactivated by acid environment
GI prokinetic agent (esp. erythromycin)
extra and intracellular distribution
enter most deep tissue except CNS (unless inflamed)
liver metabolism
P450 inhibitor and easily affected by other P450 inducers/inhibitors
Term
Macrolides Spectrum of Action
Definition
aerobic Gram +
extra and intracellular bacteria
mycoplasma
anaerobes are resistant
Term
Macrolides Combinations
Definition
antagonizes all other ribosome inhibitors
P450 inhibitor
Term
Macrolides Adverse Effects
Definition
development of resistance could create resistance for licosamides and streptogramins (MLSB resistance)
irritation at injection, GI upset
tilmicosin cardiotoxicity when used parenterally
Term
Lincosamides Group
Definition
Lincomycin
Clindamycin
Pirlimycin
Term
Lincosamides Mechanism of Action
Definition
inhibits protein synthesis via 50S ribosome
Term
Lincosamides Activity
Definition
bacteriostatic
time dependent
Term
Lincosamides Spectrum of Action
Definition
Gram +
obligate anaerobes
intra and extracellular bacteria
Term
Lincosamides Combinations
Definition
antagonizes all other ribosome inhibitors
Term
Lincosamides Adverse Effects
Definition
MLSB resistance
GI upset
peripheral neuromuscular blockage
cardiac depression effect
Term
Lincosamides Pharmacokinetics
Definition
good oral absorption in monogastrics
decreased by food
extra and intracellular distribution
enter most deep tissues (except CNS unless inflamed)
liver metabolism
easily affected by P450 inhibitors
Term
Lincosamides Clinical Usage
Definition
Gram + and Anerobes like penciliins
not sensitive to Blactamase+
reaches deep tissue
Term
Phenicols Group
Definition
chloramphenicol
florfenicol
Term
Phenicols Mechanism of Action
Definition
inhibits protein synthesis via 50S ribosomal subunit
Term
Phenicols Activity
Definition
bacteriostatic
time dependent
Term
Phenicols Spectrum of Action
Definition
Gram + and Gram -
obligate anaerobes (4 quadrants)
extra and intracellular bacteria
Term
Phenicols Pharmacokinetics
Definition
good oral absorption in monogastrics
extra and intracellular distribution
enter most deep tissues and CNS
liver metabolism
P450 inhibitor
Term

wide liver drug metabolism inhibotor
Term
Chloramphenicol Adverse Effects
Definition
dose dependent adverse effects
bone marrow toxicity in cats if treat <10 days
BANNED in food animals
Term

Definition
mild GI disturbance if only inject twice
not recommended for horses
okay for food animals
