1、Antimicrobial Agents,Martin Votava Olga Kroftov,Overview,If bacteria make it past our immune system and start reproducing inside our bodies, they cause disease. Certain bacteria produce chemicals that damage or disable parts of our bodies. Antibiotics work to kill bacteria.Antibiotics are specific t

2、o certain bacteria and disrupt their function.,What is an Antibiotic?,An antibiotic is a selective poison. It has been chosen so that it will kill the desired bacteria, but not the cells in your body. Each different type of antibiotic affects different bacteria in different ways. For example, an ant

3、ibiotic might inhibit a bacterias ability to turn glucose into energy, or the bacterias ability to construct its cell wall. Therefore the bacteria dies instead of reproducing.,Antibiotics,Substances produced by various species of microorganisms: bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes- to suppress the growth

4、 of other microorganisms and to destroy them. Today the term ATB extends to include synthetic antibacterial agents: sulfonamides and quinolones.,History,The German chemist Paul Ehrlich developed the idea of selective toxicity: that certain chemicals that would be toxic to some organisms, e.g., infec

5、tious bacteria, would be harmless to other organisms, e.g., humans. In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming, a Scottish biologist, observed that Penicillium notatum, a common mold, had destroyed staphylococcus bacteria in culture.,Sir Alexander Fleming,Flemings Petri Dish,Zone of Inhibition,Around the fungal

6、 colony is a clear zone where no bacteria are growing Zone of inhibition due to the diffusion of a substance with antibiotic properties from the fungus,History,Penicillin was isolated in 1939, and in 1944 Selman Waksman and Albert Schatz, American microbiologists, isolated streptomycin and a number

7、of other antibiotics from Streptomyces griseus.,Susceptibility vs. Resistanceof microorganisms to Antimicrobial Agents,Success of therapeutic outcome depends on: Achieving concentration of ATB at the site of infection that is sufficient to inhibit bacterial growth. Host defenses maximally effective

8、MI effect is sufficient bacteriostatic agents (slow protein synthesis, prevent bacterial division) Host defenses impaired- bactericidal agents Complete ATB-mediated killing is necessary,Susceptibility vs. Resistance(cont.),Dose of drug has to be sufficient to produce effect inhibit or kill the micro

9、organism: However concentration of the drug must remain below those that are toxic to human cells If can be achieved microorganism susceptible to the ATB If effective concentration is higher than toxic- microorganism is resistant,Susceptibility vs. Resistance(cont.),Limitation of in vitro tests In v

10、itro sensitivity tests are based on non-toxic plasma concentrations cut off Do not reflect concentration at the site of infection E.g.: G- aer.bacilli like Ps.aeruginosa inhibited by 2 4 ug/ml of gentamycin or tobramycin. Susceptible !?,Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing,Susceptibility vs. Resistance

11、(cont.),Plasma concentration above 6-10 ug/ml may result in ototoxicity or nephrotoxicity Ration of toxic to therapeutic concentration is very low agents difficult to use. Concentration in certain compartments vitreous fluid or cerebrospinal fluid much lower than those in plasma. Therefore can be on

12、ly marginally effective or ineffective even those in vitro test states sensitive.,Susceptibility vs. Resistance(cont.),Therefore can be only marginally effective or ineffective even those in vitro test states sensitive“. Conversely concentration of drug in urine may be much higher than in plasma , s

13、o resistant“ agents can be effective in infection limited to urine tract,Resistance,To be effective ATB must reach the target and bind to it. Resistance: Failure to reach the target The drug is inactivated The target is altered,Resistance (cont.),Bacteria produce enzymes at or within the cell surfac

14、e inactivate drug Bacteria possess impermeable cell membrane prevent influx of drug. Transport mechanism for certain drug is energy dependent- not effective in anaerobic environment. ATB as organic acids penetration is pH dependent.,Resistance (cont.),Acquired by mutation and passed vertically by se

15、lection to daughter cells. More commonly horizontal transfer of resistance determinant from donor cell, often another bacterial species, by transformation, transduction, or conjugation. Horizontal transfer can be rapidly disseminated By clonal spread or resistant strain itself Or genetic exchange be

16、tween resistant and further susceptible strains.,Resistance (cont.),Methicilin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus clonally derived from few ancestral strains with mecA gene Encodes low-affinity penicillin-binding protein that confers methicillin resistance. Staphylococcal beta-lactamase gene

17、, which is plasmid encoded, presumambly transferred on numerous occasions. Because is widely distributed among unrelated strains, identified also in enterococci,Selection of the ATB,Requires clinical judgment, detailed knowledge of pharmacological and microbiological factors. Empirical therapy initi

19、ain Pending isolation and identification of the pathogen Specimen for culture from site of infection should be obtain before initiation of therapy Definite therapy,Penicillins,Penicillins contain a b-lactam ring which inhibits the formation of peptidoglycan crosslinks in bacterial cell walls (especi

20、ally in Gram-possitive organisms) Penicillins are bactericidal but can act only on dividing cells They are not toxic to animal cells which have no cell wall,Synthesis of Penicillin,b-Lactams produced by fungi, some ascomycetes, and several actinomycete bacteria b-Lactams are synthesized from amino a

21、cids valine and cysteine,b Lactam Basic Structure,Penicillins (cont.) Clinical Pharmacokinetics,Penicillins are poorly lipid soluble and do not cross the blood-brain barrier in appreciable concentrations unless it is inflamed (so they are effective in meningitis) They are actively excreted unchanged

22、 by the kidney, but the dose should be reduced in severe renal failure,Penicillins (cont.)Resistance,This is the result of production of b-lactamase in the bacteria which destroys the b-lactam ring It occurs in e.g. Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoea,Penicillins (

23、cont.)Examples,There are now a wide variety of penicillins, which may be acid labile (i.e. broken down by the stomach acid and so inactive when given orally) or acid stable, or may be narrow or broad spectrum in action,Penicillins (cont.)Examples,Benzylpenicillin (Penicillin G) is acid labile and b-

43、 prevents the emergence of resistant strains.,Sulfonamides and trimethoprimMode of action,Folate is metabolized by enzyme dihydrofolate reductase to the active tetrahydrofolic acid. Trimethoprim inhibits this enzyme in bacteria and to a lesser degree in animal s, as the animal enzyme is far less sen

Spectrum of activity - Gram-positive cocci and urinary tract infections Resistance - Common for nalidixic acid; developing for ciprofloxacin,

50、Quinolones,The quinolones are effective but expensive antibiotics. With increased use, resistance to these drugs is becoming more common. They should in general be reverse drugs and not first-line treatment.,Quinolones (cont.)Examples and clinical pharmacokinetics,Nalidixic acid, the first quinolone

51、, is used as a urinary antiseptic and for lower urinary tract infections, as it has no systemic antibacterial effect. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone with a broad spectrum against Gram-negative bacilli and Pseudomonas,Quinolones (cont.)Examples and clinical pharmacokinetics,It can be given orally

52、 or i.v. to treat a wide range of infections, including respiratory and urinary tract infections as well as more serious infections, such as peritonitis and Salmonella. Activity against anaerobic organism is poor and it should not be first choice for respiratory tract infections.,Quinolones (cont.)A

Doxycycline has a longer half-life and can be given once per day. These drugs are only portly absorbed. They bind

57、 avidly to heavy metal ions and so absorption is greatly reduced if taken with food, milk, antacids or iron tablets.,Tetracyclines (cont.) Examples and clinical pharmacokinetics,They should be taken at least half an hour before food. Tetracyclines concentrate in bones and teeth. They are excreted mo
