Answers
Question:
Superinfection
Answer:
results when an antibiotic kills normal flora, favoring the
appearance of a new infection that is difficult to eliminate
- secondary infection after killing normal bacteria EX: Oral
thrush, C. diff (diarrhea), and vaginal yeast infections
- antimicrobial therapy
Question:
Classification of antimicrobial medications
Answer:
-narrow-spectrum
-broad-spectrum
-bactericidal medications
-bacteriostatic medications antimicrobials are used to treat
bacteria, viruses, or fungi
Question:
narrow-spectrum antibiotics
Answer:
effective against a narrow range of bacteria (only a few types
of bacteria are sensitive)
- used when the CAUSE of the bacterial infection is KNOWN
Question:
broad-spectrum antibiotics
Answer:
,effective against a broad range of bacteria (wide variety of
bacteria are sensitive)
- can cause superinfection
Question:
bactericidal
Answer:
kills bacteria directly
- weakens the cell wall (lysis)
- interferes with enzymes
- DISINFECTANT
Question:
Bacteriostatic
Answer:
stops/slows down the growth of bacteria and allowing the
immune system to finish the job and kill the bacteria
- ANTISEPTIC affects protein synthesis
Question:
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
Answer:
the lowest concentration of antibiotic that inhibits bacterial
growth, but does not kill the bacteria
Question:
minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)
Answer:
the lowest concentration of an antibiotic that kills 99.9% of
the bacteria
Question:
sites that are difficult for Antimicrobials to reach
, Answer:
places with poor blood flow
- cerebrospinal fluid
- brain (because of the BBB; meningitis)
- an abscess of the skin (Lump on your skin that contains pus)
- the heart (endocarditis)
Question:
What do you ALWAYS do prior to administering an
antibiotic?
Answer:
CULTURE! CULTURE! CULTUREEEE!!!!!
Question:
If WBC are elevated, what does this tell us?
Answer:
There's an infection.. Decreasing or going back to normal
levels means the infection is being RESOLVED
Question:
Patients taking Antibiotics must always...
Answer:
1. TAKE THE FULL COURSE OF MEDICATIONS
PRESCRIBED!!!!
2. and take an additional form of contraceptive
(BABY!)(condom)
- antibiotics interact with hormonal contraceptives(birth
control) making Birth control less effective
3. only use when necessary (don't take with viral infections)
Question:
community-associated infection
