epidermidis (1st choice: polysporin ointment (bacitracin + oplymyxin B)OTC) for better G- coverage, use the aminoglycoside antibiotic
gentamicin (Garamycin) ophthalmic ointment
Bacterial conjunctivitiss. aureus, s. pneumoniae, h. influenzae &
Moraxella catarrhalis are the most common causes (use Vasosulf because
of the vasoconstrictor action) (1st choice: polysporin, for better Gcoverage, use the opthalmic form of the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxaxin
(Ciloxin))
Burns

Three forms:
1. Aqueous solution for IM/IV

soluble (not for CHF)
2. Procainesuspension for IM
ONLY *local anesthetic (slows
PCN release and numbs pain)

3. Benzathinesuspension for IM,
LONGEST acting (Bicillin LA)local anesthetic (slows) DOC for
syphilis.
Aka phenoxymethyl PCN

AUGMENTIN
An AMINOpenicillin- Extended
Spectrum PCN: Gm (-) coverage but
still susceptible to penicillinases (like
PCN G/V). Strains resistant to PCN
also resist aminoPCNs$$$
*Oral or IV
An AMINOpenicillin (see above)
-Oral caps & pediatric drops
-used AFTER Unasyn (IV) for
peritonitis $$$ b/c Augmetin is only
ORAL (not IV) so need some fast IV first,
then can give oral to finish off after
-Uses: OM, prophylaxis before dental
procedures (no longer for mitral valve
prolapse)
Antipseudomonas PCNs against some
Gm - Pseudomonas (modest against P.
aeruginosa) and some resistant Proteus;
Still susceptible to PCNases
-Parenteral

PEcK organisms:
Proteus mirabilis: enteric, infects only when it
leaves GI tract. Generally UTIs. It is urease+
(urine alkaline, promotes stones)
E. coli: Enteric, most common cause of UTIs
and a common cause of travelers diarrhea and
diarrhea in infants (80%)
Klebsiella pneumoniae: nosocomial RTIs but
can cause UTIs
Same mechanism as the PCNs inhibit
transpeptidase enzyme
