They all died of bacterial infections or
sequelae
- antibiotics could have or would have been
used

Overview
•
•
•
•
•
Aminoglycosides
Beta-lactams
Vancomycin
Clindamycin
Macrolides
 Metronidazole
 Quinolones
 Rifampicin
 Tetracyclines
Aminoglycosides
• Gentamicin
– Broad Gm-ve spectrum, incl. Ps.aeruginosa
– D.O.C for most cases of aerobic Gm-ve sepsis
• Amikacin
– Reserve for organisms resistant to other aminog.
• Tobramycin
– Marginally more effective on Ps.aeruginosa than
gentamicin
• All potentially ototoxic and nephrotoxic
• C/I with NM-blocking agents  paralysis
Aminoglycoside - Gentamicin
 Not absorbed after oral administration
 Must be admin parenterally to tx systemic infns
 Eliminated almost entirely by glomerular filtration
 T1/2 ~2hr (normal pt)
 Traditional tds dosing
 Endocarditis, pregnancy, burns, CF
 Once daily (extended interval) admin the norm
 Higher concmore rapid & greater bacterial killing
 Resistance less likely with higher conc
 PAE
 Less frequent peaks reduce nephrotoxicity
 Narrow Therapeutic Margin
Aminoglycoside - Gentamicin
• Extended interval dosing
– 3-4mg/kg (healthy, normal adults)
– Post-levels are done 30’ after end of
infusion
– Pre-levels are done just prior to next
infusion
• Usually administered over 30’ infusion
• Target
– Peak 10-12g/mL
– Trough <2 g/mL
• If post is / you adjust the dose (peak)
• If pre is  extend the interval (trough)
Beta-lactams
• Penicillins
– Narrow-spectrum
• gm+ve, X by -lactamases
• PenicillinG iv, PenicillinV po
– Narrow spectrum with antistaph activity
• Stable to -lactamases
• Dicloxacillin, flucloxacillin
– Moderate spectrum
• Amoxycillin, ampicillin
• Also active against some gm-ve
– Broad spectrum
• Augmentin Duo Forte® Augmentin Duo
• Piperacillin and Ticarcillin have activity against P.aeruginosa
Beta-lactams con’t
• Carbapenems
–
–
–
–
Imipenem/cilstatin, meropenem, ertapenem
New doripenem (Doribax®)
Gm-ve rods, P.aeruginosa, anaerobes, many gm+ve
Not useful for MRSA
• Cephalosporins
– Less sensitive to penicillinases
– Same spectrum as the penicillins
– Have ‘generations’ that indicate broadening spectrum
of activity
• Commonly you will see:
– Cephalothin 1g iv QID (or cephtazidime 1g iv tds) post surgery
followed by cephalexin 500mg po QID
– Ceftriaxone 1g iv daily with roxithromycin for empirical tx of
pneumonia
– Ceftriaxone 2g bd or 4g daily could be indicated for empirical
treatment of meningitis
Regarding penicillin hypersensitivity…
10% of patients who are allergic to penicillins will be allergic to other
beta-lactamases and vice-versa
“A hx of an immediate hypersensitivity reaction…contraindicates use
of other beta-lactams”.
Vancomycin
• Effective against a broad range of gram +ve organisms, not
gram –ve organisms.
• Role in MRSA (not VRE)
• Role in severe infections with susceptible organisms in pt
allergic to penicillin and in meningitis due to Strep.pneumoniae
• Not absorbed orally - For systemic infections give iv
• Could be given orally for treatment of Clostridium difficile
• Vancomycin TDM:
– Aim for trough 10mg-20mg/L sampled immediately
before the next dose is administered
– Peak levels are commonly done but have not been
proven to correlate with toxicity or efficacy
– Peak levels should be 25mg-40mg/L; values outside this
indicate an abnormal Vd and dose adjustment is
required.
Clindamycin
• Used in skin infections and patients allergic to penicillins.
• Both iv and oral
• Commonly 150mg-300mg tds-qid
• Major s/e risk is pseudomembranous colitis!!
– Due to overgrowth of Clostridium difficile
• VERY important to warn the pt of diarrhea (esp
mucousy/bloody/watery) to cease and call the doctor
immediately.
Macrolides
• Azithromycin, Roxithromycin, Erythromycin, Clarithromycin
• Cyp3A4 inhibitor interactions increasing along the line
• Community acquired infections are major indications
• Roxithromycin 150mg po bd or 300mg po d
• Erythromycin 250mg po 30ac qid or Erythromycin
Ethylsuccinate 400mg swallowed whole qid irrespective of
food.
Metronidazole
• Covers anaerobes
• Available as iv but excellent po absorption means tabs/supps
can often be used instead.
• Disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol
• Common rx are 400mg po tds and 500mg iv tds or bd
• Abdominal, pelvic, oral infections
• Can give mouth a furry metallic taste and a black coating
– Both benign and reversible after ceasing therapy
Quinolones
Reduce dose in renal impairment
 Broad spectrum –
 Resistance is increasing, esp in USA
• Norfloxacin 400mg bd oral
• Ciprofloxacin 500mg bd oral
– Also available iv
• C/I in children and
adolescents
•A/E: photosensitivity,
dizziness, confusion
•Tendon (and bone) damage
•Many drug interactions
•Prolong the QT inverval
Rifampicin
• Active against gm+ve
– Including Staph & mycobacteria
• Used in: TB, MRSA, prophylaxis Hib and meningococcal
• Rapid emergence of resistance means it must always be used in
combo with another abx (e.g. + fusidic acid is often seen)
• Potent CYP450 inducer
– Many drug interactions
• Colours body fluids yellow-orange
Tetracyclines
• Broad spectrum
– Gm+ve and gm-ve, Chlamydia, spirochaetes et.al.
• Resistance and development of other abx has
reduced their value
• Main use is acne, CAP, PID, cholera, lyme disease
• C/I in children under 8y.o & pregnant &
breastfeeding women
– Staining of teeth and bones
• Doxycycline is a blood schizonticide
– Used for malaria prophylaxis
