TMP - a trimethoxybenzylpyrimidine - alone or in combination with - many community-acquired orgs are
SULFAMETHOXAZOLE (similar HL) susceptible to the high concentration found in - megaloblastic anemia
MOA: selective inhibition of the bacterial the urine - leukopenia
dihydrofolic acid reductase, which converts TMP + Sulfamethoxazole - granulocytopenia
dihydrofolic acid to tetrachydrofolic acid (a step leading - may also be given through IV B. Oral TMP-SMZ
thesynthesis of purines and ultimately to DNA) - effective and active vs: TMP + SMZ
Well-absorbed: • P. jiroveci, pneumonia, shigellosis, - may cause untoward effects
Pyrimethamie - also a benzylpyrimidine - in the gut systemic salmonella infections, UTI, associated with sulfonamides

MOA: selective inhibition of dihydrofolic acid Distribution: mycobacterial infections The ff may also occasionally occur:

* In combination with a sulfonamide: Lipid Solubility: catarrhalis, K. pneumoniae BUT - renal damage
- marked enhancement of the activity of both drugs - TMP > Sulfamethoxazole (TMP then has NOT Mycoplasma pneumoniae) - CNS disturbances
DUE to SYNERGISM a larger volume of distribution so 1 part - can be used as PROPHYLAXIS in

* Sulfonamide + TMP or PMT = BACTERICIDAL C. Intravenous TMP-SMZ TMP+SMZ may produce:
Excretion in the urine within 24 hours: - IV infusion as AGENT OF CHOICE for: - fever
Resistance - sulfonamide - 30-50% • moderately severe to severe - rashes
Results from: - TMP - 50-60% pneumocytis pneumonia - leukopenia
- reduced cell permeability - may be also used for - diarrhea
- overproduction of dihydrofolate reductase If creatinine clearance of 15-30 mL/min: • G (-) sepsis (those caused by MDR - elevations of hepatic
- production of an altered reductase with reduced drug - reduce dose to HALF Enterobacter and Serratia) aminotransferases

TMP: concentrates in more acidic pH • typhoid fever - hyponatremia
Resistance can emerge by: since it is a weak base; hence more antibac • UTI caused by a susceptible

DNA GYRASE INHIBITORS
First Generation Second Generation Third Generation
- Nalidixic Acid - Norfloxacin - Ofloxacin - Enoxacin - Gatifloxacin
- Oxolinic Acid - Ciprofloxacin - Pefloxacin - Levofloxacin - Gemifloxacin
- Cinoxacin - Lomefloxacin - Moxifloxacin
* Better activity vs G (-) aerobes but limited vs G (+) * Excellent G (-) and moderate to good G (+) activity * Improved G (+) activity esp vs S. pneumoniae and Staph
FLUOROQUINOLONES (DNA Gyrase Inhibitors)
- Synthetic fluorinated analogs of nalidixic acid
- Earlier quinolones: Nalidixic acid, oxolinic acid, cinoxacin - low systemic level; useful only for treatment of lower UTI
Mechanism of Action Antibacterial Activity Pharmacokinetics Clinical Uses Adverse Effects
MOA: Blockage of bacterial DNA 2nd Gen (See above for 1st gen) Absorption: Effective vs: Most common:
synthesis by inhibition of bacterial Norfloxacin - well-absorbed after oral administration - UTI infections caused by many orgs - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and - least active of the FQs vs G (-) (bioavailabity of 80-95%) including P. aeruginosa (EXCEPT Moxi Occasionally:
topoisomerase IV & G (+) which achieves low urinary levels) - HA, dizziness, insomnia, skin
- MICs are 2-8x higher than Oral absorption is impaired by divalent and - bacterial diarrhea caused by Shigella, rash, or abnormal liver fxn tests
Inhibition of DNA gyrase would lead to: ciprofloxacin trivalent cations (Katzung inc trivalent) Salmonella, ETEC, and Campylobacter
- prevention of the relaxation of including those in antacids - Infections of soft tissue, bones, and Lome and peflo:
positively supercoiled DNA that is Ciproflox, enox, lomeflox, - Oral FQs must be taken 2 hours before or 4 joints and in intra-abdominal and - photosensitivity
required for normal transcription and levoflox, oflox, peflox hours after any products containing these respiratory tract infections including
replication - Excellent G (-) and mod to cations! those caused by MDR orgs like Respiratory FQs:
good activity vs G (+) Pseudomonas and Enterobacter - prolongation of the QT interval
Inhibition of topoisomerase IV: Distribution: (EXCEPT Norflo which doesn’t achieve - caution in patients with:
- interferes with separation of replicated MSSA - generally susceptible to - widely distributed in tissues and body fluids adequate systemic concentrations) • hx of QT prolongation
chromosomal DNA into the respective FQs (prostate, stool, bile, lung, neutrophils, urine & • uncorrected hypoK+
daughter cells during cell division MRSA - often resistant to FQs kidneys) Ciprofloxacin: • receiving Class 1A or
Resistance - DOC for prophylaxis and treatment of Class 3 antiarrhythmics
Due to: Efficacy vs strep and Metabolism anthrax • receiving agents known
- one or more point mutations in the enterococci Serum-half lives: to prolong QT interval
quinolone binding region of the target - limited compared to staph - range from 3-10 hours Cipro and Levo: such as erythromycin

- change in the permeability of the Ciprofloxacin permit once a day dosing cervicitis
organism - most active agent vs G (-) Gatifloxacin:
particularly vs P. aeruginosa Serum concentrations of IV-administered FQs are Cipro, Levo, or Moxi: - assoc with:
Two types of plasmid-mediated the same with orally-administered. - occasionally used vs TB and atypical • hyperglycemia in

- Type I: utilizes Qnr proteins which Gemifloxacin Elimination: - eradication of meningococci from • hypoglycemia taking
protect DNA gyrase from FQs - effective vs. ciprofloxacin- - most are eliminated by renal mechanisms carriers OHAs
- Type II; variant of aminoglycoside resistant strains of S. either by GF or TS - prophylaxis of infection in neutropenic
acetyltransferase capable of modifying pneumoniae - also excreted via boobies (breastmilk) cancer patients FQs
ciprofloxacin If crea clearance = <50 mL/minute: dosage -may cause damage to growing
Moxifloxacin adjustment needed depending on the degree of Levo, Gati, Gemi, Moxi: cartilages and cause arthropathy
Remember: - modest activity vs anaerobic impairment and specific FQ used - enhanced G (+) activity and activity (not recommended for pxs < 18)
Resistance to one FQ (particularly if it is bacteria against atypical pneumonia agents - tendon rupture in adults
of high level) - generally confers cross- Nonrenally cleared FQs - aka respiratory FQs - peripheral neuropathy either
resistance to all other members of this * These 3rd gen FQs are not as - relatively contraindicated in patients with - effective in treatment of URTI and LRTI orally or IV
class active as ciprofloxacin vs G (-) hepatic failure - avoided in pregnancy

Management of Antimicrobial Toxicity Antimicrobial Prophylaxis
1.) Skin Test * General Principles
2.) Desensitization
3.) Dosage Adjustment 1.) The antibiotic should be active against common surgical wound pathogens; unnecessarily broad
4.) Antihistamine coverage should be avoided
5.) Corticosteroids 2.) The antibiotic should have provided efficacy in clinical trials
3.) The antibiotic must achieve concentrations greater than the MIC of suspected pathogens, and these
Antimicrobial Drug Combinations concentrations must be present at the time of incisions
Rationale for combination antimicrobial therapy 4.) The shortest possible course - ideally a single dose - of the most effective and least toxic antibiotic
1.) To provide broad spectrum empiric therapy in seriously ill patients should be used
2.) To treat polymicrobial infections (such as intra-abdominal abscesses); chosen combination should 5.) The newer broad-spectrum antibiotics should be reserved for therapy of resistant infections
cover the most common known or suspected pathogens 6.) If all other factors are equal, the least expensive agent should be used
3.) To decrease the emergence of resistant strains
4.) To decrease dose-related toxicity by using reduced doses of one or more components of the drug Nonsurgical Prophylaxis
regimen
5.) To obtain enhanced inhibition or killing * Administration of antibiotic to prevent colonization or asymptomatic infection as well as the
administration of rugs following colonization by or inoculation of pathogens before development of the
Synergism & Antagonism disease
* Synergism - marked by 4-fold or greater reduction in the MIC or MBC of each drug
• Blockade of the sequential steps in a metabolic sequence * Indicated in individuals who are at high risk, for temporary exposure to selected virulent pathogens
• Inhibition of enzymatic inactivation and in immunocompromised patients
• Enhancement of antimicrobial uptake
* Antagonism - occurs when the combined inhibitory or killing effects of 2 or more antimicrobials are (PLEASE CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING PAGES FOR TABLES DERIVED FROM THE MANUAL which
significantly less than expected when the drugs are used individually were copied from Katzung)
• Inhibition of -cidal activity by static agents
• Induction of enzymatic inactivation
