Bactericidal/Bacteriostatic
Term
Adverse Reaction
Organ Toxicity
Definition
nephrotoxicity (kidney) Hepatotoxicity
(liver)
Term
Adverse Reactions:
Superinfection
Definition
infection develops after treatment with an antibiotic because it has disturbed the normal flora.
Term
Penicillin
Definition
beta-lactam ring interferes with bacterial wall synthesis. Can be both bacteriostatic and bactericidal depending on type and dose.

Side Effects
Definition
Allergic reactions-rash (monitor first dose), anaphylactic shock, superinfection, GI disturbance
Term
Penicillin
Drug/Drug
Drug/Food Interactions
Definition
Food may decrease absorption,
ASA and Probenecid increase Amoxicillin

Term
Penicillin
Definition
highly bound drug, toxicity may result with other highly protein bound drugs.
Term
Cephalosporins
Definition
First, second, third, fourth generations.

Term
Cephalosporins
Definition
inhibit cell wall synthesis, half-life short.
Term
Cephalosporins
Side Effects
Definition
