Cross-reactivity of beta-lactam antibiotics.
BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2001;14:106–107 D uring a drug history, the most common drug allergies cited are those experienced after the administration of a penicillin, with a reported allergy incidence of 1% to 10% in patients who receive drugs in this class (1). Penicillins, as well as other beta-lactam antibiotics such as cephalosporins, carbapenems, and monobactams, contain a beta-lactam ring (2). The...
متن کاملBeta-Lactam Antibiotics and Vancomycin Beta-lactam antibiotics
Anti-bacterial drugs have “selective toxicity”, that is they interact with a target present on the bacterial cell, the prokaryote, that is not present in the mammalian host, the eukaryote. For the ß-lactam drugs, this target is the cell wall. Mammalian cells lack cell walls, which for the bacteria are a critically important barrier protecting the organism from not only the vagaries of osmotic s...
متن کاملAztreonam Cell Mediated Hypersensitivity Cross Reactivity with Beta Lactam Antibiotics: The Possibility That It Exists
A 61-year-old female with past medical history of maculopapular rash reaction to ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin being treated for diverticulitis develops the same rash with administration of piperacillin/tazobactam and aztreonam. A diffuse maculopapular rash developed after the administration of piperacillin. It resolved with discontinuation of the drug and the patient was switched to aztreonam ...
متن کاملThe Survey of Genes Encoding Beta-Lactamases, in Escherichia Coli Resistant to Beta-Lactam and Non-Beta-Lactam Antibiotics
Objective(s) Resistance to the new generation of cephalosporins which is mediated by Extended-Spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) has been found among Escherichia coli isolates throughout the world. These resistance genes and their producers, the micro-organisms carrying beta-lactamases, are responsible for serious clinical and therapeutic problems among inpatients and it is necessary to pay more...
