Antibiotic drug list pdf

Medication List, which is divided into two sections, "Value Priced" Medications and "Discounted" Medications*. The price for a medication identiied as "Value-Priced" is listed below: • 30-day-supply drugs cost $5 (tier 1), $10 (tier 2) or $15 (tier 3) • 90-day-supply drugs cost $10 (tier 1), $20 (tier 2) or $30 (tier 3) that consist of two different drugs: a penicillin or cephalosporin and a beta-lactamase inhibitor. The penicillin or cephalosporin kills bacteria by preventing formation of the bacterial cell wall. The beta-lactamase inhibitor has little antibiotic activity on its own. Its job is to protect the penicillin or cephalosporin from being Knowing how the antibiotics should be adjusted, you can weed out multiple choice answers even if you don't know the specific dose. Bacteriocidal vs. Bacteriostatic. Another way to sort antibiotics is to group them by their activity on bacteria. Some antibiotics kill bacteria (bacteriocidal) while others just inhibit bacteria growth List of antibiotics. This guide is a list of antibiotics. The highest division is between antibiotics is bacteriostatic and bactericidal. Addressing the Threat of Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (PDF 253P) Currently this section contains no detailed description for the page, will update this page soon. Author(s): Pages. Advertisement since 1910 many antibiotics have been developed with different mechanisms of action including: (1) inhibition of bacteria's cell wall synthesis; this class of antibiotics includes vancomycin and The EML antibiotic book has a section dedicated to Reserve antibiotics currently listed in the Model Lists of Essential Medicines. The book describes situations where empiric use of these last-resort antibiotics could be considered in clinical practice - e.g. seriously ill patients known to be colonized by multidrug-resistant organisms and who have not responded to other antibiotics and in See full Table 15.1 at end of Unit 5 for list of antibiotics . Table 15.1 Full Antibiotic Targets Antibiotic Resistance (mm) Mode of Action Target Common Use Ampicillin (AM-10) <21 Binds to penicillin- <10 These two drugs work together to prevent folic acid synthesis which is required for the formation of nucleic acids Metabolism Broad the inner and/or outer membranes of bacteria. All β-lactam drugs are inhibitors of bacterial cell wall synthesis and therefore active against growing bacteria. The initial step in drug action consists of binding of the drug to cell receptors (penicillin-binding proteins [PBPs]) After a β -lactam drug has attached to one or Neomycin is the drug that is most toxic to the structure involved in hearing, the cochlea, so it is recommended for topical use only. But even topical therapy has resulted in hearing loss when large areas were treated which allowed for large amounts of the drug to be absorbed into the body. Hearing loss caused by this class of antibiotics • Bactericidal • Vancomycin - hinders peptidoglycan elongation • Penicillin and cephalosporins - binds and blocks peptidases involved in cross-linking the glycan molecules Antibiotics weaken the cell wall, and cause the cell to lyse . Fig. 12.2 The consequences of exposing a growing cell to antibiotics that prevent cell wall synthesis. 1. C.2.c Antibiotic orders include an indication for use. 1. C.2.d There is a mechanism in place to prompt clinicians to review antibiotic courses of therapy after 72 hours of treatment. 1. C.2.e The facility has a system in place to identify patients currently rec
