Spectrum Of Efficacy pg 116
What is the most common method to identify bacteria? Culture and Sensitivity (C&S)
General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 116
Side effects common to all antibacterial drugs include: INtestinal disturbances that can range
from an increase in the number of bowel movements to severe diarrhea.
General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 116

General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 116
Yeast infections in the mount is known as ________. _______ makes food taste bad and can cause
gum disease. Thrush
Memory Jogger pg 116
The goal of antibacterial therapy is to: Kill bacteria or prevent their reproduction without harming
the patient
Memory Jogger pg 116
When normal flora are killed by antibiotic therapy, common problems the patient may develop:
Diarrhea and the overgrowth of yeast in the mouth and vagina
General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 117
_______ _______ is a complication of antibacterial therapy that causes severe inflammation in area
of the colon (large intestine) Pseudomembranous colitis

General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 117
, BEfore giving any antibacterial drug: Ask the patient if he or she has any drug allergies. Notify the
prescriber if the patient has an allergy to the drug. If he or she does have an allergy to a drug and is
to receive it anyway, check with the prescriber about first giving the patient diphenhydramine and
epinephrine to reduce any serious reaction. Place the emergency cart closest to the door of the
patient's room.
General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 117
Why should you check the patient's WBCs before antibacterial therapy? Antibacterial drugs
often suppress the growth of WBCs
General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 117
After giving an antibacterial drug: Ask the patient about the number of BMs and their
character. Although all antibacterial drugs change the normal flora of the intestines and can cause
diarrhea, this symptom is also a sign of the more serious pseudomembranous colitis.
General Issues in Antibacterial Therapy pg 117
Antibiotic Resistance The ability of a bacterium to resist the effects of antibacterials
Bactericidal A drug that reduces the number of bacteria by killing them directly
Bacteriostatic A drug that reduces the number of bacteria by preventing them from dividing and
growing rather than directly killing them
Cell Wall Synthesis Inhibitors A class of antibacterial drugs that kills susceptible bacteria by
preventing them from forming strong, protective cell walls
Drug Generation Stage of drug development in which later generations are changed slightly
to improve their effectiveness or means of administration
Fluoroquinolones A group of drugs from the DNA synthesis inhibitor class tha tenter bacterial
cells and prevent bacteria reproduction by suppressing the action of two enzymes important in
making bacterial DNA
Metabolism inhibitors A class of antibacterial drugs that interfere with bacterial reproduction by
preventing the bacteria from making folic acid
Protein Synthesis Inhibitors A large class of antibacterial drugs that includes aminoglycosides,
macrolides, and tetracyclines, which prevent bacteria from making proteins important to their life
cycles and infective processes
Spectrum of efficacy A measure of how many different types of bacteria a drug can kill or
prevent from growing
Susceptible Organisms Bacteria or other organisms that either can be killed by or have their
reproduction reduced by an antibacterial drug
Virulence The measure of how well bacteria can invade and spread despite a normal immune
response.

considered normal flora Nonpathogenic
Review of Related Physiologic And Pathophysiology pg 114

in the digestive tract. Normal Flora
Review of Related Physiologic And Pathophysiology pg 114
________ bacteria cause disease and tissue damage only in someone whose immune system is not
working well. Opportunistic
Bacterial features pg 115
