Antibiotics - ANSWER anti-microbial agents used to treat bacterial infections
Ampicillin - ANSWER Penicillin: characterized by beta-lactam ring; a bactericidal, broad-spectrum,
inhibits cell wall synthesis.
Cefazolin - ANSWER Cephalosporin: medication used for surgical prophylaxis and the treatment of
respiratory, skin, GU, bone, joint, blood, and postoperative infections
Gentamicin - ANSWER Amino-glycoside: a bactericidal, broad-spectrum, and disrupts protein synthesis;
used for IM/IV empirically for serious systemic infections; BBW: Nephrotoxicity, Ototoxicity.
Ciprofloxacin - ANSWER fluoroquinolone: a bactericidal, broad-spectrum, and interferes with enemies
for bacterial DNA; used for sinusitis, pneumonia, lower respiratory infections, GI, UTI, prostatitis, bone,
joint, skin, soft tissue; is the first line of treatment for anthrax until culture results are known
Tetracycline - ANSWER type of medication that is bacteriostatic, broad-spectrum, binds to ribosomes,
and inhibits protein synthesis; used for unusual diseases such as Cholera, typhus, Rock Mountain
Spotted Fever, STIs, PID, acne, chronic bronchitis, small animal bites, Lyme Disease
Trimethoprium-Sulfamethoxazole - ANSWER Sulfonamide: bacteriostatic, broad-spectrum, interferes
with folic acid for bacterial proteins; used mainly for UTIs, topical burns, and chronic bronchitis; AR:
hypersensitivity, photosensitivity/severe rash, GI, blood disorders, renal failure, increased potassium,
decreased blood sugar in diabetes.
Erythromycin - ANSWER Macrolide: bacteriostatic/bactericidal depending on the dose, broad-spectrum,
binds to ribosomes to inhibit protein synthesis; used for respiratory and skin infections, peptic ulcer
disease, chlamydia trachomatis, prevents chlamydia conjunctivas in newborns (eye med)

Clindamycin - ANSWER Cleocin: bacteriostatic, attaches to ribosomes to inhibit protein synthesis, used
topically to treat acne; use cautiously in patients with liver impairment; take with full glass of water and
do not refrigerate liquid suspension
Metronidazole - ANSWER Flagyl: bactericidal, broad spectrum, disrupts protein synthesis; used to treat
C. difficile; prevention of infection during abdominal surgeries, various infections, acne; AR: GI, yeast
infection, metallic taste, dry mouth, liver
Vancomycin - ANSWER type of medication that exhibits bactericidal action only against gram + bacteria,
inhibits cell wall synthesis; used only for serious gram + infections; AR: nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity,
infusion reaction (red man syndrome); do not use if allergy to corn/corn products, hypersensitivity, renal
impairment
Superinfection - ANSWER "on top of", second infection related to change in normal flora from antibiotic
use (c. diff after taking ABX)
Opportunistic Infection - ANSWER infection caused by microorganisms that flourishes because host's
deficient immune system. Often infection is caused by normal flora that would be non-pathogenic in
health host. (imbalance of power).
Incidence - ANSWER the number of new cases in population over period of time
Prevalence - ANSWER the number active cases at any given time in population
post antibiotic effect - ANSWER the ability to continue killing microorganisms at low serum
concentrations
Peak Level - ANSWER serum antibiotic drug level after a medication is administered
Trough Level - ANSWER serum antibiotic drug level before a medication is administered
