Sulphonamides Penicillins (Beta Lactam) Cephalosporins (Beta Lactam) Mac
Sulphamethoxazole + Trimethoprim = MoA: Bactericidal: prevents formation of a cell wall (lysis). Similar to penicillin in structure & moa 1st choice alternativ
Co-tri-moxazole 5-10% cause hypersensitivity with penicillins. to pencillin.
Characteristics of CTM: BLISS Gram + Gram +/- 1st Generation: more Gram + & H.Influenzae Original: Erythromy
Bactericidal Grp 1: Narrow Spectrum Grp 3: Broad-Spectrum Pens 2nd Generation: more Gram – & H.Influenzae
Large spectrum (against Gram + & -) -Benzyl-penicillin (IV) -Amoxicillin 3rd Generation: broad spectrum. Very good Newer:
Infections. -Phenoxymethyl-penicillin (PenV) -Ampicillin H.Influenzae cover Azithro-mycin
Synergistic action blocks biosynthesis -Procaine-benzyl-penicillin -Amoxicillin + clavulanic Acid* = 4th Generation: Gram + & -Broad Spectrum Clarithro-mycin
of folic acid produced by bacteria. Augmentin Telithro-mycin
Selectively Toxic *clavulanic acid is a B-lactamase
inhibitor which prevents resistance
Uses: PRUDES Grp 2: Anti-Staphylococcal Pens Grp 4: Antipseudomonal Cef-azolin Advantages of newe
