indicates that the pathogen is not likely to be
inhibited if the antimicrobial compound in the blood
resistant
reaches the concentration usually achievable; other
therapy should be considered
weaken the cell wall, causing bacteria to take up
penicillin mechanism of excessive water and rupture, active only against
action bacteria that are undergoing growth and division,
bactericidal
contain a β-lactam ring, ex. penicillin and
cephalosporins;
β-lactam ring of antibiotic fits into bacterial cell wall
beta lactam antibiotics
and inhibits transpeptidation, bacteria will eventually
rupture because the unsupported cell wall cannot
withstand its growth
how do bacteria defend some bacteria produce enzyme β-lactamase which
against beta lactam destroys the antibiotic β-lactam ring and renders
antibiotics? the antibiotic ineffective
Clavulanic acid (amoxicillin & clavulanate =
Augmentin)
Sulbactam (ampicillin & sulbactam = Unasyn)
Tazobactam (piperacillin & tazobactam = Zosyn)
what are beta lactamase
inhibitors?
by themselves they do not have antimicrobial
activity, but are combined with the antibiotic to
prevent inactivation of the antibiotic by beta
lactamases
what microbes commonly Staphylococci, Gonococci, H. influenzae,
produced beta M.catarrhalis, B.fragilis, and some
lactamase? Enterobacteriaceae
Urticaria
Pruritus
Erythematous rash
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
penicillin adverse effects
Headache, fatigue, dizziness
Tachycardia
Elevation of creatinine, BUN (blood urea nitrogen)
Vaginitis
