this ____ is a factor that affects the outcome of antibiotic therapy & is when/where bacteria mutate when exposed to antibiotics for extended periods of time
|
acquired resistance
|
|
this is a way co-administration of other meds can affect the propensity of antibiotic to work
|
the propensity to work is decreased b/c the other meds might decrease the absorption of the antibiotic
|
|
this is the biggest challenge to antibiotic therapy
|
stopping the therapy b/f the end of the course of meds - therefore one has not taken the meds long enough to ensure eradication of the infection
|
|
this is where peak levels are too high
|
direct toxicity
|
|
need peak/trough levels to prevent this from happening (generally)
|
direct toxicity
|
|
this type of infection is cz'd by antibiotic use
|
secondary infection
|
|
this type of infection is when a "bug" overgrows or mutates because of exposure to antibiotics
|
super infection
|
|
to prevent the most common secondary infection of candida overgrowth, educ. Ct's to eat this
|
yogurt and/or buttermilk, which will help keep normal flora levels up
|
|
these side effects are common for all antibiotic therapies
|
N/V & diarrhea
|
|
this med frequently causes an anaphaltic response
|
PCN
|
|
the generation of these drugs only refers to their response to gram +/- rods

|
3rd gen - cefixime (Suprax)
|
|
this is the only 3rd generation ceph w/ an oral route
|
cefixime (Suprax)
|
|

|
quinolones
|
|
antacids reduce these anti-infectives absorption
|
quinolones
|
|
these are used to treat UTIs
|
quinolones
|
|
