Cephalosporins are a class of semisynthetic, β-lactam antibiotics derived from the fungus Cephalosporium. They are classified into 5 generations based on their year of development and spectrum of activity. Cephalosporins work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins and preventing transpeptidation and cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains. This results in cell lysis and a bactericidal effect. Later generations have increased activity against Gram-negative bacteria and β-lactamase producers. Common uses include respiratory, urinary, skin/soft tissue infections as well as meningitis. Adverse effects are generally mild and include hyper
Cephalosporins are a class of β-lactam antibiotics derived from fungi. They are classified into generations based on their spectrum of activity, with later generations having broader spectra. They work by binding penicillin-binding proteins. Resistance can develop via target modification or β-lactamase production.

Cephalosporins are a class of β-lactam antibiotics similar to penicillin. They were first isolated from fungus in 1945 and work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. There are several generations that have increased gram-negative spectrum. Common uses include skin/respiratory infections, sepsis, UTIs, and surgical prophylaxis. Adverse effects include hypersensitivity reactions, nephrotoxicity, and diarrhea. Resistance can develop through bacterial production of β-lactamases or changes to penicillin-binding proteins.
Here are the step-by-step solutions to the math problems:
1) A dose of 200 mcg is ordered. The strength available is 0.3 mg in 1.5 mL.
- Convert mg to mcg: 0.3 mg = 300 mcg
- Set up ratio: 200 mcg/300 mcg = X mL/1.5 mL
- Cross multiply: 200 * 1.5 = 300X
- Solve for X: 300X/300 = 1.5/1.5 = X = 1 mL
2) A dosage of 0.7 g has been ordered. Available is a strength of 1000 mg in 1.5 mL.
- Convert g to mg
Beta lactam antibiotics like penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and monobactams contain a beta-lactam ring. They are bactericidal and work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Penicillins are further divided into narrow and extended spectrum types. Common side effects include hypersensitivity reactions and diarrhea. Beta lactamase inhibitors are often combined with antibiotics to overcome resistance from beta lactamase producing bacteria. Each class of beta lactam antibiotic has varying spectra of activity and therapeutic uses depending on whether they are effective against gram-positive, gram-negative, anaerobic, and multidrug resistant bacteria.
This document provides an overview of antibiotics, including their mechanisms of action, examples of selective toxicity on bacteria, and indications for common antibiotics. It discusses how antibiotics like penicillin, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and glycopeptides act on the bacterial cell wall.

Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

4. PENICILLIN IS GENERALLY
VERY SAFE BUT….
• Allergic reactions not uncommon-rashes
• Most severe reaction being anaphylaxis
• A history of anaphylaxis, urticaria, or rash immediately
after penicillin indicates risk of immediate hypersensitivity
after a further dose of any penicillin or cephalosporin
(therefore these must be avoided)
• Allergy is not dependent on the dose given ie, a small dose
could cause anaphylaxis
• Very high doses of penicillin can cause neurotoxicity
• Never give penicillin intrathecally
5. What antibiotics can be used in
penicillin allergy?
• Macrolides: erythromycin, clarithromycin
• (mainly gram positive cover)
• Quinolones: ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin
(mainly gram positive cover)

anaphylaxis and death
Cross-reactivity exists among all penicillins and
even other -lactams
Desensitization is possible
8. -lactams
Pharmacology
• Absorption: Variable depending on product
• Distribution
Widely distributed into tissues and fluids
Pens only get into CSF in the presence of inflamed
meninges; parenteral 3rd and 4th generation cephs,
meropenem, and aztreonam penetrate the CSF
• Elimination
most eliminated primarily by the kidney, dosage adj
required in the presence of renal insufficiency

ALL -lactams have short elimination half-lives except for
a few cephalosporins (ceftriaxone)
9. -Lactams

Cellular infiltration in renal tubules (Type IV
hypersensitivity reaction – characterized by
abrupt increase in serum creatinine; can lead to
renal failure

57. Linezolid (Zyvox®)
Drug–Drug/Food interactions
Linezolid is a reversible, nonselective inhibitor of
monoamine oxidase. Tyramine rich foods, adrenergic
drugs and serotonergic drugs should be avoided due to the
potential drug-food and drug-drug interactions. A
significant pressor response has been observed in normal
adult subjects receiving linezolid and tyramine doses of
more than 100 mg. Therefore, patients receiving linezolid
need to avoid consuming large amounts of foods or
beverages with high tyramine content.
58. Clindamycin

72. FDA Categorization of Antibiotics in Pregnancy
• Category A
– Controlled studies in women fail to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester (and there is no
evidence of a risk in later trimesters), and the possibility of fetal harm appears remote.
• Category B
– Either animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a fetal risk but there are no controlled studies in
pregnant women, or animal-reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect (other than a decrease in
fertility) that was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the first trimester (and there is no
evidence of a risk in later trimesters).
• Category C
– Either studies in animals have revealed adverse effects on the fetus (teratogenic or embryocidal or other)
and there are no controlled studies in women, or studies in women and animals are not available. Drugs
should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
• Category D
– There is positive evidence of human fetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be
acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease
for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).
• Category X
– Studies in animals or human beings have demonstrated fetal abnormalities, or there is evidence of fetal
risk based on human experience or both, and the risk of the use of the drug in pregnant women clearly
outweighs any possible benefit. The drug is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.

Antibiotics in bold print are generally considered most
effective for intracellular organisms
75. • Sulfonamide or sulphonamide is the basis
of several groups of drugs. The original
antibacterial sulfonamides (sometimes
called sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs) are
synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain
the sulfonamide group. Some sulfonamides
are also devoid of antibacterial activity, e.g.,
the anticonvulsant sultiame. The
sulfonylureas and thiazide diuretics are
newer drug groups based on the
antibacterial sulfonamides
76. • Allergies to sulfonamide are common,[3]
hence medications containing sulfonamides
are prescribed carefully. It is important to
make a distinction between sulfa drugs and
other sulfur-containing drugs and additives,
such as sulfates and sulfites, which are
chemically unrelated to the sulfonamide
group, and do not cause the same
hypersensitivity reactions seen in the
sulfonamides.
• Because sulfonamides displace bilirubin
from albumin, kernicterus (brain damage
due to excess bilirubin) is an important
77.
78. Sulfonamides: antimicrobial
activity
• Gram positive and negative bacteria
• Nocardia, chlamydia trachomatis
• Some protoza
• Some enteric bacteria
• Rickettisiae stimulated!
79. Sulfonamides: clinical uses
• Oral absorbable agents
– Sulfisoxazole, sulfamethoxazole
• To treat urinary tract infection
– Sulfadiazine: toxoplasmosis
– Sulfadoxine: long acting, in a combination for treatment of malaria
• Oral nonabsorbable agents
– Ulcerative colitis, enteritis, other inflammatory bowel disease
• Topical agents
– Sulfacetamide: ophthalemic
