9. */ Common antibiotics Spectrum of activities Macrolides (bacteriostatic) - Erythromycin (also azithromycin, clarithromycin) Gram-positive bacteria, Mycoplasma, Legionella Aminoglycosides (bactericidal) Streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, netilmicin and neomycin (topical) gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria. They are not useful for anaerobic bacteria, Tetracyclines (bacteriostatic) Tetracycline, minocycline and doxycycline b. Spectrum of activity - These are broad spectrum antibiotics and are useful against intracellular bacteria Chloramphenicol, lincomycin, clindamycin (bacteriostatic) Chloramphenicol - Broad range Lincomycin and clindamycin - Restricted range Quinolones - nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, oxolinic acid (bactericidal) Gram-positive cocci , gram –ve bacteria

25. Delay in initial antibiotics in the emergency department (median delay of four hours) was associated with a worsening of hypotension, altered mental status, and seizures in about 15 percent of patients . Those patients whose delay in antibiotic therapy allowed their disease to advance from having zero or one to having two or three poor prognostic indicators had a significant increase in adverse outcomes.

Risk factors to develop CAMRSA soft tissue infection : = Antibiotic use (particularly cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone use) strongly correlates with the risk for MRSA colonization and infectio = residents of long-term care facilities =Homeless =IV drug users =Prisoners =Military Personnel =HIV patients 60% are abscess, 40% cellulitis , small persentage as impetigo Clin Infect Dis. 2007;45 Suppl 3:S171-6
