Antimicrobials, antiparasitics, chemo and euthanasia

Kill/inhibits microbes without harming host

antimicrobials

antimicrobials include

antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and antiprotozoals

antibiotics work only on either gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

narrow-spectrum

antibiotics work on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

broad spectrum

kills the bacteria

bactericidal

inhibits the growth or replication of bacteria

bacteriostatic

bacteria survive and continue to multiply after administration of the antibiotic

antibiotic resistance

the presence of a chemical or its metabolites in animal tissue or food products

antibiotics residue

the antibiotic attacks he cell wall and prevents it from synthesizing

peptidoglycan

Examples of cephalosporins

cephahlexin, cefazolin, cefriaxone

treatment of skin infection in cats

cefovecin

more resistance to beta-lacttmase and beta-lactam

potentiated penicillins

what class is cefovecin

class III

class I

what class is cefpodoxime

class III

disrupts the bacterial cell wall and is effective against gram-positive bacteria

bacitracin

effective against many gram-positive bacteria

vancomycin

tetracyclines

what drug must be washed down with water after

doxycycline

types of tetracyclines

doxycycline, oxytertracycline. minocycline

prevents DNA replication or inhibits RNA synthesis

Which class can cause ototoxiciry

antiglycogens

an example of benzimidazoles are

fenbendszole

stimulates cholinergic receptors

imiazothiazoles also known as levamisole

side effects of organophosphate poisoning

abnormal new growth in which the multiplication of cells is uncontrolled, more rapid than normal, and progressive

Neoplasm

malignant growth of epithelial cells

carcinoma

malignant growth of connective tissue

sarcoma

the spread of cancer from its primary site to other places in the body

metastasis

birth defects and cancer

genetic instability

results in genetic mutations and genomic arrangements resulting in genetic instability

Cell mitosis check

osteosarcoma is

bone cancer

Most side effects of cancer drugs occur in

GI tract and bone marrow

what type of drug can cause serious damage outside the vein

cancer drugs

causing birth defects

teratogenic

Inhibits mitosis and causes cell death

cell cycle-specific drugs

Most widely used chemo drug

Doxorubicin

what drug will turn urine blue-green

mitoxantrone

Chemo drugs are also

immunosuppressive drugs

Common cheap steroid used in chemo

Prednisone

high dosages of steroids do what

increase urination and thirst

azathioprine does what

stops cell-cycle and replication

Euthanasia is just

an overdose of anesthetics

Euthanasia has great effects on the

cardio and respiration depressant effects

Most common euthanasia agent

pentobarbital

Pentobarbital is what Class

Class II

Pentobarbital only

sleepaway

when phenytoin is added to the pentobarbital for additional cardiac depressant effects is is known as

Euthanasia-D

Pentobarbital and a stabilizer is
