PENICILLINS 1ST antibiotic to be used clinically in 1941 MOA interferes with cell wall synthesis bactericidal Antibacterial spectrum Oral aerobes and anaerobes
Natural penicillins, aminopenicillins and penicillin resistance penicillins are mostly useful
Commonly used to treat infections in oral cavity To be used with precaution in Patients with hypersensitivity
NATURAL PENICILLINS Penicillin G Acid labile Parenteral route 2-5 million units IM (Adult Dose) Procaine penicillin G Longer acting Adequate serum levels for 8-12 hours, effective for 1-2 days when administered IM
Penicillin G Benzathine Even longer duration of serum levels Drug detectable for 1-3 weeks Penicillin V Acid stable 500mg QID orally
Spectrum of natural penicillins most gram + aerobes and most anaerobes. Staph. Aureus, bacteroides fragilis and H. influenza are commonly resistant to natural penicillins.
EXTENDED SPECTRUM AMPICILLIN Poorly absorbed from GIT Parenteral route
EXTENDED SPECTRUM AMOXICILLIN Currently indicated for treatment of orodental
infections.
Dosage / administration:
0.25 to 1 gm TDS. Mostly given orally. Trade namesMox, novamox, Alphamox, Ambac, 250 / 500 mg caps; 125 mg/ 5ml syrup Antibacterial spectrum-
Gram +ve, gram ve bacteria & most oral anaerobes.
ADVANTAGES Concentrations that are higher & last longer than an equivalent dose of Penicillin V. Effective against infections involving streptococci or other
species resistant to Penicillin V.
DISADVANTAGES Greater potential to produce superinfections of the GIT & vagina, because of broader spectrum of activity against gram ve aerobes. Can produce skin rashes as a result of allergy.
PENICILLIN WITH BLACTAMASE INHIBITORS Clavulanic acid A potent and irreversible inhibitor of many beta-lactamases Protects beta-lactam antibiotics from inactivation, when combined with them. Widens the antibacterial spectrum Common brand name and dosage Augmentin (amoxicillin 250/500mg + clavulanic acid 125mg) BD oral, Clavum Also as i.m. or i.v. 6 8 hourly asAugmentin (amoxicillin 1g + clavulanic acid 0.2g vial) Augmentin (amoxicillin 0.5g + clavulanic acid 0.1g vial)
Amoxicillin + Cloxacillin Novaclox, Amoclox, Amotox Tab 250mg + 200 mg TDSAdverse reactions Gastritis Hypersensitivity Abdominal cramps
Sulbactam Used with Ampicillin (Unasyn)
Improves ability to eradicate S.aureus and H.influenza
EXTENDED SPECTRUM PENICILLINS Spectrum includes aerobic gram-ve bacilli including
Ps. Aeruginosa Carbenicillin Ticarcillin Piperacillin Mecillinam Limited benefits in head and neck infections
CEPHALOSPORINS Less susceptible to b-lactamases as compared to
penicillin As the generation increases, gram positive coverage
reduces, while effectiveness for gram ve organisms increase and for anaerobes the killing power decreases Bactericidal
1st GENERATION CEPHALOSPORINS Commonly used for maxillofacial infections and
prophylaxis Cefadroxil Cephalexin
Cefazolin Cephradine Brand name and dosage cefadur, cefadrox, sporidex,
phexin Tab 500mg BD Active against streptococci sp, staph. Aureus and not active against enterococci, listeria or MRSA
2nd GENERATION CEPHALOSPORINS Greater gram ve spectrum More resistant to beta-lactamase. Cefaclor (250 mg cap; 125 & 250mg DT;
125mg/5ml dry syr)
Cefoxitin Cefprozil Cefuroxime Brand name and dosage Ceftab, Ceftum - Tab 500 mg BD Useful for treating upper & lower respiratory tract
infections, sinusitis & otitis media
3rd GENERATION CEPHALOSPORINS Broad spectrum of activity with further increased activity
against gram ve organisms. Cefixime Ceftriaxone Cefotaxime (0.25, 0.5 & 1 g per vial inj) Ceftibuten Cefdinir Cefpodoxime
Brand Name and dosage Zifi, Taxim o tab 200mg BD Promising for serious sinus and skin infections
4th GENERATION CEPHALOSPORINS Extended spectrum agents, with similar activity
against gram +ve organisms as first generation cephalosporins. generation cephalosporins.
Greater resistance to beta-lactamases than third
Cefluprenam Cefozopran Cefepime ( 0.5, 1 g inj) Cefpirome Cefquinome
Adverse effects:MildStomach upset / cramps Nausea, vomitting Diarrhoea Sore tongue Sores in the mouth Vaginal yeast infections SevereBlack, tarry stools Chest pain Fever Difficult / painful urination Allergic reactions Serious colitis
MONOBACTAMS Bactericidal effect similar to other drugs in this class Only Aztreonam is approved for use No activity against g+ organisms, limiting its use in
head or neck infections Dose 1-2 g every 8 hours
CARBAPENEMS Broad antibacterial spectrum Commonly used to treat P.aeruginosa infections
resistant to other antimicrobials IMIPENEM MEROPENEM
TETRACYCLINES Bacteriostatic in nature Limited use because of rapid development of
resistence MOA binding to 30S ribosomes Uses Lower molar osteitis sicca (dry socket ) prevention Acne therapy Periodontal disease
Effective against g+cocci and few g-ve rods Tetracycline, minocycline & doxycycline are used for
treatment of orodental infections Tetracycline HCl (Alcyclin, Tetracyn) - Cap/ tab for paediatric dose. Adult dose between 1 and 2 g/per day in 34 divided doses. Doxycycline - Sparadoz, Sydox Cap 100mg, Tab 200mg )D
Adverse effects: Teratogenic Stains developing teeth Allergic manifestations like rash Photosensitivity Hepatic dysfunction GI disturbance like nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress Antianabolic effect Avoided in patients with renal impairment can lead to aggravation of aztemia and exaggerated anabolic effect Reversible Fanconi-like syndrome IV administration can lad tolocal thrombosis
VANCOMYCIN
Highly effective against MRSA, gram + cocci MOA cell wall inhibition Poor oral absorption and painful IM injection IV dose 2g daily in divided doses 500mg over 60 mins every 6 hours or 1g every 12 hours Vancocin CP Cap 250mg QID Adverse reactions local thrombophlebitis, generalised cutaneous reactions (Red Man Syndrome) and auditory damage Used with caution in patients with renal damage

adults
MACROLIDES Useful for maxillofacial infections MOA bacteriostatic and interferes with protein
synthesis by attaching to 50S ribosome subunit Antibacterial spectrum g+organisms, G ve can resist it easily because of outer cell membrane and Methicillin resistant staph. Aureus is also resistant Common macrolides Erythromycin, Azithromycin, Clindamycin, Clarithromycin
ERYTHROMYCIN Best known macrolide with g + spectrum similar to
penicillin, but less effective against anaerobes. But not used much because of its side effects and other agents are preferred

slightly higher concentration Effective against gram + organisms, especially Staphylococci, Pneumococci, certain Streptococci Also useful for anaerobic infections Cap clincin, Dalacin 150 450 mg orally QID / 300 mg BD Adverse effect superinfection with Cl.

FLUOROQUINOLONES: Quinolones are a family of synthetic broad spectrum
antibiotics. The parent of the quinolones class is nalidixic acid. Majority of quinolones in clinical use belong to the
subset of fluoroquinolones.
Generations: Quinolones are divided into generations based on their anti-bacterial spectrum.
1st generation Cinoxacine Nalidixic acid Oxolinic acid Rosoxacin Pipemidic acid Piromidic acid
2nd generation ciprofloxacin ofloxacin norfloxacin lomefloxacin nadifloxacin
3rd generation: 4th generation: (active against streptococci) Plurifloxacin Levofloxacin Gemifloxacin Sparfloxacin Clinafloxacin Balofloxacin Gatifloxacin Grepafloxacin Moxifloxacin Trade names: Ciplox, Cifran 250, 500 or 750mg tabs.; 200mg/100ml i.v. Norflox 200, 400, 800mg tabs
