• Pharmacokinetics(PK)
Absorption, distribution, and elimination of antimicrobial
agents in the body.
• Pharmacodynamics(PD)
The relationship between blood concentration and
pharmacology or toxicology, including the relationship
between blood concentration and antibacterial activity.

Pharmaceutical characteristics of several
typical antibacterial agents
1.Penicillins
×
• Oxacephems: Latamoxef, flomoxef
Similar to the third generation
Good activity for anaerobic bacteria
• Monobactam: Aztreonam
Narrow-spectrum
The treatment of various negative bacteria
4.Aminoglycosides
Common characteristics:
①stable, good solubility in water, strong effect in alkaline
environment
② wide antibacterial spectrum, bactericidal agents
③ poor gastrointestinal absorption, injection, excreted by the
kidney as a prototype
④ nephrotoxicity, ototoxic
⑤ part of the resistance or complete cross resistance
⑥ synergistic bactericidal effect when combined use of
penicillins or cephalosporins
5.Quinolones
Fluoroquinolones(the third generation):
norfloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin
Amphotericin B:
invasive fungal infections
high toxicity
all kinds of adverse drug reactions
Select proper drug according to
physiological status, pathologic condition and
immune state of the patient
avoid using, or adjust dosage regimen when gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, streptomycin, itraconazole,
the indication is clear voriconazole injection
avoid using tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, terbinafine
Table 5 Antimicrobial safety classification in pregnant women
FDA classification antimicrobial agents
Drug was used within 0.5-1 hour before surgery, or at the beginning
of anesthesia. If the surgery lasts more than 3 hours or the blood
loss is big(>1500 ml), drug can be used during the surgery once
more. The total time should not more than 24 hours, and no more
than 48 hours in individual case.
