Chemotherapy of Bacterial Infections ~~~~ Antibiotics
Definitions of Antibiotics • OLD: An antibiotic is a chemical substance produced by various species of microorganisms that is capable in small concentrations of inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms • NEW: An antibiotic is a product produced by a microorganism or a similar substance produced wholly or partially by chemical synthesis, which in low concentrations, inhibits the growth of other microorganisms

The Ideal Drug* 1. Selective toxicity: against target pathogen but not against host ü LD 50 (high) vs. MIC and/or MBC (low) 2. Bactericidal vs. bacteriostatic 3. Favorable pharmacokinetics: reach target site in body with effective concentration 4. Spectrum of activity: broad vs. narrow 5. Lack of “side effects” ü Therapeutic index: effective to toxic dose ratio 6. Little resistance development * There is no perfect drug.

Mechanism of Action (cont’d) 3. INHIBITION OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS: Steps in synthesis: 1. 2. 3. 4. Initiation Elongation Translocation Termination 1. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes (80 S) have a different structure to ribosomes so can use antibiotics for selective toxicity against ribosomes of prokaryotes (70 S)
Mechanism of Action INHIBITION OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS (cont’d) • Aminoglycosides ü bind to bacterial ribosome on 30 S subunit; and blocks formation of initiation complex. Both actions lead to mis-incorporation of amino acids üExamples: Gentamicin Tobramycin Amikacin Streptomycin Kanamycin Spectinomycin Neomycin
Mechanism of Action INHIBITION OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS • Aminoglycosides (cont’d) ü broad spectrum • • • Gram negative rods P. aeruginosa Drug-resistant gram negative rods Plague, Tularemia, Gonorrhea Pre-op (bowel) External (skin) ü toxic at some level to eighth cranial nerve
Mechanism of Action INHIBITION OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS (cont’d) • Macrolides: chloramphenicol & erythromycin ü bind to 50 S subunit and blocks the translocation step ü Chloramphenicol: broad spectrum ü Erythromycin: Mycoplasma Legionella S. pyogenes Anaerobes Typhoid Meningitis
Mechanism of Action INHIBITION OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS (cont’d) • Clindamycin ü binds to 50 S subunit and interferes with binding of the amino acid – acyl-t. RNA complex and so inhibits peptidyl transferase ü works best against • Staphylococcus • Bacteroides & anaerobic gram neg rods ü Penicillin allergic people
Mechanism of Action INHIBITION OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS (cont’d) • Tetracyclines ü bind to 30 S subunit and interferes with the attachment of the t. RNA carrying amino acids to the ribosome ü effective against: • • Chlamydia Rickettsia Mycoplasma Brucella
Mechanism of Action (cont’d) 4. INHIBITION OF DNA/RNA SYNTHESIS § Rifampin ü binds to RNA polymerase ü active against gram positive cocci ü bactericidal for Mycobacterium ü used for treatment and prevention of meningococcus
Mechanism of Action INHIBITION OF DNA/RNA SYNTHESIS (cont’d) § Metronidazole ü breaks down into intermediate that causes breakage of DNA ü active against: – protozoan infections – anaerobic gram negative infections § Quinolones and fluoroquinolones ü effect DNA gyrase ü broad spectrum

Origin of Drug Resistance • Non-genetic ü metabolic inactivity • Mycobacteria ü non-genetic loss of target • penicillin – non-growing cells, L-forms ü intrinsic resistance • some species naturally insensitive
Origin of Drug Resistance (cont’d) • Genetic ü spontaneous mutation of old genes • Vertical evolution ü Acquisition of new genes • Horizontal evolution • • Chromosomal Resistance Extrachromosomal Resistance • Plasmids, Transposons, Integrons
Plasmids • independent replicons ü circular DNA • dispensable • several genes ü drug resistance ü metabolic enzymes ü virulence factors • host range ü restricted or broad
Plasmids (cont’d) • size ü small, non-conjugal ü large, conjugal <25 kbp • Transfer between cells: ü CONJUGATION (cell to cell contact) • due to plasmid tra genes (for pili, etc) ü NON-CONJUGAL • transduction • mobilization by conjugation plasmids
Implications of Resistance • Household agents ü they inhibit bacterial growth ü purpose is to prevent transmission of disease-causing microbes to noninfected persons. ü can select for resistant strains • NO evidence that they are useful in a healthy household
Implications of Resistance • Triclosan studies ü effect diluted by water ü one gene mutation for resistance ü contact time exceeds normal handwash time (5 seconds) • Allergies ü link between too much hygiene and increased allergy frequency • http: //www. healthsci. tufts. edu/apua/ROAR/roarhome. htm
