complicated UTI with pyelonephritis
-meropenem (carba) + vaborbactam (BLI)
cephalosporin + B-lactamase inhibitor - CORRECT ANSWERS used to treat intra-
abdominal infections (use with metronidazole (Flagyl)) and complicated UTI
Vancomycin- tricyclic bactericidal - CORRECT ANSWERS aerobic and anaerobic gram +,
MRSA, MRSE, enterococcus, C. diff (oral)
skin and soft tissue infections, infective endocarditis, nosocomial pneumonia
- monitor CrCl
-ADE nephro/ototoxicity
lipoglycopeptides - CORRECT ANSWERS concentration-dependent, gram +

Protein synthesis inhibitors - CORRECT ANSWERS inhibit bacterial protein synthesis-
bacteriostatic
- quinolones
-folic acid antagonists
- urinary tract antiseptics
Tetracycline - CORRECT ANSWERS teratogenic*
-DOC for chlamydia
-decreased absorption if given with magnesium, calcium, aluminum, antacids, iron
-do not give to children bc it will bind with teeth/ bones.
-tetracycline- give on empty stomach
-doxycycline- used with acne
- minocycline- treat meningococcal carrier
-sarecycline- acne vulgaris (12wk), wt based, baseline eye exam
Glycylcyclines - CORRECT ANSWERS -Tigecycline- community aquired pneumonia
Broad spectrum; bacteriostatic
Bind to the 30S ribosomal subunit
Inhibits rapid efflux; administered intravenously
Useful against MRSA, multi-resistant strep, VRE, poor option for blood stream infections. Need
dose reduction with liver disease. Decreases clearance of Warfarin.
Aminoglycosides - CORRECT ANSWERS concentration-dependent bactericidal. renal
dosing required. give with b-lactam abx to get synergistic effect when treating enterococcus
faecalis.
-Amikacin
