Study Notes
Beta-Lactams
- PENICILLINS:
- Natural Penicillin: Benzylpenicillin (Pen G), Procaine Pen G, and Benzathine Pen G; effective against Gram positive (Strep, Entero, Clostridium)
- Beta-lactamase resistant/Anti-staphylococcal penicillin: Methicillin, Nafcillin; effective against MSSA/MRSA
- Isoxazolyl penicillin: Cloxacillin, Dicloxacillin, Flucloxacillin; extended spectrum, better Gram negative activity
- Broad spectrum: Ampicillin, Amoxicillin; not effective against Gram negative bacteria
- Antipseudomonal penicillin: Carbenicillin, Ticarcillin, Carfecillin; effective against E. Coli, Kleb, Pseudomonas
- CEPHALOSPORINS:
- First generation: Cephalothin, Cephapirin, Cephalexin, Cephradine, Cefadroxil, Cefazolin; more effective against Gram positive
- Second generation: Cefamandole, Cefuroxime, Cefonicid, Ceforanide, Cefaclor, Cefoxitin; more Gram negative activity
- Third generation: Cefotaxime, Ceftizoxime, Cefixime, Cefpodoxime, Ceftriaxone; more Gram negative activity
- Fourth generation: Cefepime, Cefpirome; effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria
- Fifth generation: Ceftaroline, Ceftobiprole; MRSA active
- MONOBACTAMS:
- Aztreonam, Tigemonam; effective against Gram negative bacteria
- BETA LACTAMASE INHIBITORS:
- Class 1: Clavulanic acid, Sulbactam, Tazobactam; effective against Gram negative bacteria
- CARBAPENEMS:
- Imipenem, Meropenem, Ertapenem, Doripenem; effective against Enterobacter
Protein Synthesis Inhibitors
- AMINOGLYCOSIDES:
- Streptomycin, Neomycin, Kanamycin, Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin; effective against Gram negative bacteria
- TETRACYCLINES:
- Doxycycline, Lymecycline, Methacycline, Minocycline, Rolitetracycline, Tetracycline; effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria
- MACROLIDES:
- Erythromycin, Clarithromycin, Azithromycin; effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria
- LINCOSAMIDES:
- Clindamycin, Lincomycin; effective against Gram positive bacteria
- POLYPEPTIDES:
- Vancomycin, Bacitracin, Gramicidin, Polymyxin, Dalbavancin, Oritavancin, Televancin, Daptomycin; effective against Gram positive bacteria
- UNCASSIFIED:
- Chloramphenicol, Mupirocin
Nucleic Acid Synthesis Inhibitors
- QUINOLONES:
- Nalidixic acid (prototype), Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Pefloxacin, Levofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Rufloxacin
- NITROFURAN AND NITROHETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS:
- Nitrofurazone, Furazolidone, Nitrofurantoin
- SULFONAMIDES:
- Sulfadoxime, Sulfadoxime + pyrimethamine = Fansidar, Sulfasoxazole, Sulfamethoxazole, Sulfadiazene
