Antibiotics “Broad-spectrum antibiotics are not a substitute for rational thought” – Anon. Jason C. Gallagher, Pharm.D., FCCP, FIDP, FIDSA, BCPS 1 Graphic: CDC Clinical Professor Objectives At the conclusion of the lectures, the student should be able to: Describe key characteristics of the classes of antibiotics including their: Spectra of activity Basic pharmacokinetic profile Major adverse effects Explain the mechanisms of action of the classes of antibiotics discussed Determine which antibiotics are likely to be useful for a given clinical scenario (a 2 Objectives You WILL NEED to be You WILL NOT need to able to: know: Choose an antibiotic Uses based on an Structures infection’s organism or typical organisms This means relating the antibiotics to the organisms you have already learned.
