The Action of Antimicrobial Drugs

Page 3: Clinically useful families of beta- lactam  compounds include penicillins ,  cephalosporins ,

The mechanism of action of penicillins and cephalosporins.

β-Lactam antibiotics bind to and competitively inhibiting the transpeptidase enzyme that cross-links PG layers.

Pharmacokinetics

- Orally, IM or IV- Absorption dependant on stability in acid and absorption

to food- Widely distributed in body fluids- Lipid insoluble- Do not cross blood-brain barrier- Elimination via kidneys- 90% tubular secretion- Short plasma half-life- Intermittent exposure advantageous

What are the side-effects of antibiotics?

Most common side-effects of antibiotics:

-Diarrhoea

- Feeling and being sick

- Fungal infections of the mouth, digestive tract and vagina

Rare side-effects of antibiotics:

- Formation of kidney stones (when taking sulphonamides)- Abnormal blood clotting (when taking some cephalosporins)- Sensitivity to sun (when taking tetracyclines)- Blood disorders (when taking trimethoprim) - Deafness (when taking erythromycin and the aminoglycosides)

Side Effects and Contraindications

- Hypersensitivity- rashes, fever- GI disturbances- Thrush- Renal Impaired patients

Page 9: Clinically useful families of beta- lactam  compounds include penicillins ,  cephalosporins ,

Allergic reactions to antibiotics

Some patients may develop an allergic reaction to antibiotics - especially penicillins.

Side effects might include a rash, swelling of the tongue and face, and difficulty breathing.

Reactions to antibiotics can be very serious, and sometimes fatal - they are called anaphylactic reactions.

Bacterial resistance:

It is important to complete the whole course of the medication to prevent the infection from coming back.

If you do not complete the course, there is a higher chance the bacteria may become resistant to future treatments - because the ones that survive when you did not complete the course have had some exposure to the antibiotic and may consequently have built up a resistance to it.

Antimicrobial Resistance

Relative or complete lack of effect of antimicrobial against a previously susceptible microbe

Page 12: Clinically useful families of beta- lactam  compounds include penicillins ,  cephalosporins ,

Antibiotic Resistance

A variety of mutations can lead to antibiotic resistanceMechanisms of antibiotic resistance

1. Enzymatic destruction of drug

2. Prevention of penetration of drug

3. Alteration of drug's target site

4. Rapid ejection of the drugResistance genes are often on plasmids or transposons that

can be transferred between bacteria.

Resistance to Antibiotics

Page 14: Clinically useful families of beta- lactam  compounds include penicillins ,  cephalosporins ,

Penicillin resistancevia penicillinase (β Lactamase)

Some penicillin resistant organisms produce Penicillinase which degrades penicillin.

Broad vs. narrow spectrum drugs

Antiseptics

Page 17: Clinically useful families of beta- lactam  compounds include penicillins ,  cephalosporins ,

Antiseptics

- Anti (against) Septic (putrefactive)- “substance applied to living tissue to prevent

sepsis”

- Disinfectant- “substance applied to non-living materials to prevent microbial growth”

Page 18: Clinically useful families of beta- lactam  compounds include penicillins ,  cephalosporins ,

History of Antiseptics

- 1867, Joseph Lister

- Common antiseptics used during the last 150 years include alcohol, boric acid, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, carbolic acid and other phenol compounds, chlorohexadine, sodium chloride, sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite.

- Broad spectrum antimicrobials

- Multiple targets

Mode of Action of Chlorhexidine

Page 26: Clinically useful families of beta- lactam  compounds include penicillins ,  cephalosporins ,

Mechanism of Action

- Used topically- Chlorohexidine- Bacteriocidal to Gram positive

and Gram negative - Membrane disrupting- Cetrimide- cationic surfactant
