Course content

2 sections • 31 lectures • 1h 28m total length

  • Penicillin3:45
  • Metronidazole1:34
  • HIV guidelines3:09
  • HIV medications4:23

    Explain how HIV medications block entry, reverse transcription, integration, and protease activity. Highlight key side effects including anemia, pancreatitis, neuropathy, and Stephen Johnson syndrome with abacavir.

  • Daptomycin1:46

    Daptomycin disrupts bacterial cell membranes while risking rhabdomyolysis in muscle cells; monitor with CPQ when used with statins, and avoid pneumonia treatment because surfactant inactivates it.

  • Folate inhibitors4:27
  • Aminoglycosides3:25
  • Macrolides1:30
  • Anti-TB medications (Isoniazid, Rifamycins, Ethambutol, and Pyrazinamide)4:17

  • Amphotericin B1:47
  • Nystatin1:43
  • Azoles anti-fungal1:36
  • Carbapenems2:00
  • Cephalosporins6:08

    Explore cephalosporins' mechanism of action, inhibiting cell wall synthesis by binding penicillin-binding proteins across five generations. Learn generation-specific gram-positive and gram-negative coverage and resistance trends.

  • Acyclovir2:47
  • Chloramphenicol1:30
  • Hepatitis C therapy1:56

Description

All healthcare workers (Doctors, Nurses, or Pharmacists) deal with antibiotics on daily basis. They are the cornerstone of treating most patients, as infections are the most common reason for admission.

To tackle the challenge of memorizing all antibiotics, we will understand their mechanism of actions first. Then, we'll mention everything you need to know for the clinical practice. At the end of each section we'll mention all the important notes for exams.


Revision-Cards: you can access these PDF cards at the end of each section. They contain all the information we discussed and more. Having these cards on your phone or PC helps you look-up any information on-the-go. Convenient for memorization.

Quizzes: at the end of our journey we'll have a long quiz that we'll take together. We'll explain our choices and talk about important notes. The quiz will help us memorize everything smoothly. A PDF with all quizzes and answers is downloadable and printer-friendly.

For pharmacists: equations like loading doses, clearance rates and others are mentioned and explained with examples.
