| A | B |
|---|
| aerobic | likes oxygen |
| anaerobic | lives without oxygen |
| antifungal | against fungus |
| antiparasitic | against parasites |
| antiviral | against viruses |
| bacteriocidal | kills bacteria |
| bacteriostatic | inhibits growth of bacteria |
| broad spectrum | against wide variety of organisms |
| culture | to grow out organisms on media |
| gram negative | stains red color |
| gram positive | stains purple/blue color |
| MRSA | methcillin resistant staph aureus |
| nosocomial | hospital acquired infection |
| prophylaxis | prevention |
| sensitivity | identifying antibiotics that work |
| VRE | vancomycin resistant entrcocci |
| antibiotics are used to | exploit organisms unique features |
| semisynthetic antibiotics | natural chemicals altered |
| gram negative bacteria cause | most nosocomial infections |
| anaerobic bacteria live | in GI tract |
| c-Dificile | releases toxins in colon |
| Abscesses | require I&D |
| areas with blood barriers | brain, joint, testes, eye |
| Antibiotic use in surgery | prophylactic / therapeutic |
| bacteria are | prokaryotes - no nucleus |
| fungus are | eukaryuotes - with nucleus |
| where Antibiotic acts on cell | wall, ribosome, metabolism |
| broad spectrum acts on | wide variety of organisms |
| narrow spectrum acts on | gram neg or gram pos |
| limited spectrum acts on | one species of organism |
| antibiotic resistance occurs with | enzymes, alter or can't reach target |
| resistance occurs through | mutation, transformation, transduction, conjugation |
| rseisitance occurs through: | takin antibiotics for viruses, not taking as prescribed |
| surgical timing of antibiotics means | in tissue at time of incision |
| prophylactic antibiotics usually given | 1 - 2 hours before incision-one dose |
| oral antibiotics before surgery are taken for | GI surgery - to kill normal flora |
| Brief exposure is | possible infection, ie cystoscopy |
| life threatening or serious exposure | heart valve or total joint |
| high risk exposure is | colon or biliary tract |
| antibiotics for C section are given | after cord is clamped |
| giving antibiotics for gross contaminatio or trauma is | therapeutic |
| post surgical antibiotics are given for | wound infections - staph aureus |
| topical agents are | irrigations, ointments, creams |
| aminoglycosides action is | on ribosomes producing proteins |
| aminoglycosides can cross | blood barriers |
| Kanamycin (Kantrex) is used for | bowel prep before bowel surgery |
| gentamycin irrigation used for | bowel surgery |
