1 PowerPoint Lecture Presentations prepared by Bradley W. Christian, McLennan Community College CHAPTER 20 Antimicrobial Drugs 2016 Pearson Education, Ltd.

2 Selective toxicity: selectively finding and destroying pathogens without damaging the host. Chemotherapy: the use of chemicals to treat a disease. Antibiotic: a substance produced by a microbe that, in small amounts, inhibits another microbe. Antimicrobial drugs: synthetic substances that interfere with the growth of microbes.

3 The History of Chemotherapy 1928: Fleming discovered penicillin, produced by Penicillium. 1932: Prontosil red dye used for streptococcal infections. 1940: Howard Florey and Ernst Chain performed first clinical trials of penicillin. Today there is a growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Figure 20.1 Laboratory observation of antibiosis.

4 Staphylococcus aureus Fleming and Penicillin Penicillium notatum

5 Table 20.1 Representative Sources of Antibiotics 2016 Pearson Education, Ltd.

6 The Spectrum of Antimicrobial Activity Narrow spectrum of microbial activity: drugs that affect a narrow range of microbial types. Broad-spectrum antibiotics: affect a broad range of gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria. Superinfection: overgrowth of normal microbiota that is resistant to antibiotics.

7 The Spectrum of Antimicrobial Activity 分枝桿菌 Narrow spectrum Broad spectrum

8 The Action of Antimicrobial Drugs Bactericidal agent 殺菌劑 :Kill microbes directly Bacteriostatic agent 抑菌劑 :Prevent microbes from growing

9 Bacteria have their own enzymes for Cell wall formation Protein synthesis DNA replication RNA synthesis Synthesis of essential metabolites

23 Common Antimicrobial Drugs Antibacterial Antibiotics: Inhibitors of Cell Wall Synthesis Penicillin: contain a β-lactam ring; Types are differentiated by the chemical side chains attached to the ring. Natural penicillins Figure 20.6a

24 Figure 20.7 Retention of penicillin G. Penicillin G (injected intramuscularly) Penicillin G (oral) Procaine penicillin Benzathine penicillin 2016 Pearson Education, Ltd.

25 Natural penicillins have some disadvantages: Narrow spectrum Susceptibility to penicillinases Figure 20.8

26 Semisynthetic penicillins: Contain chemically added side chains, making them resistant to penicillinases Figure 20.6b

27 Penicilinase-resistant penicillins Methicillin oxacillin, nafcillin were developed to against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) Extended-spectrum penicillins: Effective against gramnegatives as well as gram-positives Aminopenicillin (ex: ampicillin, amoxicillin) Carboxypenicillin (ex: carbenicillin, ticarcillin) Ureidopenicillin ( 脲基青黴素, 加上 H 2 NCONH-,ex: mezlocillin, azlocillin)

44 Nucleic Acid Synthesis Inhibitors This kind of drugs interfere the processes of DNA replication and transcription and have an extremely limited usefulness. Rifamycin (rifampin) Inhibits RNA synthesis Penetrates tissues; antitubercular activity Quinolones and fluoroquinolones Inhibits DNA gyrase

45 Competitive Inhibition of Essential Metabolites Sulfonamides (sulfa drugs) Inhibit the folic acid synthesis needed for nucleic acid and protein synthesis Competitively bind to the enzyme for PABA production, a folic acid precursor Combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) is an example of drug synergism

46 Figure Actions of the antibacterial synthetics trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole. Synergism 協同作用 SMZ TMP 2016 Pearson Education, Ltd.

47 Antifungal Drugs Agents affecting fungal sterols: Interrupt the synthesis of ergosterol, making the membrane excessively permeable Polyenes Amphotericin B Azoles Miconazole Triazoles Allylamines

48 Agents affecting fungal walls Echinocandins Inhibit synthesis of -glucan. Agents inhibiting nucleic acids Flucytocine Cytosine analog interferes with RNA synthesis.

49 Other antifungal drugs: Griseofulvin: Produced by Penicillium; inhibits microtubule formation; active against superficial dermatophytes Tolnaftate: used for athlete's foot; action unknown. Pentamidine: Anti-Pneumocystis; maybe bind to DNA

50 Antiviral Drugs Entry and fusion inhibitors Block the receptors on the host cell that bind to the virus Block fusion of the virus and cell Uncoating, genome integration, and nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors Prevent viral uncoating Inhibit viral DNA integration into the host genome Nucleoside analogs inhibit RNA or DNA synthesis

Nucleoside analog (zidovudine) Nucleotide analog (tenofovir) Non-nucleoside inhibitors (nevirapine) Protease inhibitors (atazanavir) Integrase inhibitors (raltegravir) Entry inhibitors (miraviroc) Fusion inhibitors (enfuvirtide)

55 Antiprotozoan and antihelminthic Drugs Antiprotozoan drugs Quinine ( 奎寧, 金雞納霜 ), chloroquine: preventing malaria Artemisinin: Kills Plasmodium that causes malaria Metronidazole (Flagyl): damages DNA, also against anaerobic bacteria

56 Antihelminthic drugs Niclosamide: prevents ATP generation against tapeworms Praziquantel: alters membrane permeability against flatworms Mebendazole: inhibits nutrient absorption against intestinal roundworms Ivermectin: Paralyzes worm against intestinal roundworms

57 Tests to Guide Chemotherapy The Diffusion Methods Disk-diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer test): zone of inhibition Figure The disk-diffusion method for determining the activity of antimicrobials.

58 E test Determines the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) 最小抑菌濃度 Figure The E test (for epsilometer), a gradient diffusion method that determines antibiotic sensitivity and estimates minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC).

59 Broth Dilution Tests The diffusion methods doesn t determine whether a drug is bactericidal and not just bacteriostatic. Broth dilution test: Determine the MIC and MBC (minimal bactericidal concentration, 最小殺菌濃度 ) Test organism is placed into the wells of a tray containing dilutions of a drug; growth is determined Antibiograms: Reports that record the susceptibility of organisms encountered clinically

60 Figure A microdilution, or microtiter, plate used for testing for minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. Highest Concentration of drug on plates Lowest Doxycycline (White spots show growth in all wells; bacterium is resistant) Sulfamethoxazole (Trailing end point; usually read where there is an estimated 80% reduction in growth) Streptomycin (No growth in any well; bacterium is sensitive at all concentrations) Ethambutol (Growth in fourth wells; bacterium is equally sensitive to ethambutol and kanamycin) Kanamycin 2016 Pearson Education, Ltd.

61 Resistance to Antimicrobial Drugs Persister cells: microbes with genetic characteristics allowing for their survival when exposed to an antibiotic Superbugs: bacteria that are resistant to large numbers of antibiotics Resistance genes are often spread horizontally among bacteria on plasmids or transposons via conjugation or transduction

62 Mechanisms of Resistance A variety of mutations can lead to antibiotic resistance. Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance Enzymatic destruction or inactivation of drug Prevention of penetration to the target site within the microbe Alteration of drug's target site Rapid efflux (ejection) of the antibiotic Variations of mechanisms of resistance Resistance genes are often on plasmids or transposons that can be transferred between bacteria.

63 Figure Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics. 1. Blocking entry Antibiotic 3. Alteration of target molecule Antibiotic Altered target molecule Antibiotic Enzymatic action 4. Efflux of antibiotic 2. Inactivation by enzymes Inactivated antibiotic KEY CONCEPTS There are only a few mechanisms of microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents: blocking the drug's entry into the cell, inactivation of the drug by enzymes, alteration of the drug's target site, efflux of the drug from the cell, or alteration of the metabolic pathways of the host. The mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antibiotics are limited. Knowledge of these mechanisms is critical for understanding the limitations of antibiotic use Pearson Education, Ltd.

64 Figure The development of an antibiotic-resistant mutant during antibiotic therapy. Initiation of antibiotic therapy Antibiotic resistance of bacterial population measured by amount of antibiotic needed to control growth Bacteria count 2016 Pearson Education, Ltd.

65 Antibiotic Misuse Misuse of antibiotics selects for resistance mutants. Misuse includes: Using outdated or weakened antibiotics. Using antibiotics for the common cold and other inappropriate conditions. Use of antibiotics in animal feed. Failure to complete the prescribed regimen. Using someone else's leftover prescription.

66

67 Effects of Combinations of Drugs Synergism occurs when the effect of two drugs together is greater than the effect of either alone. Figure An example of synergism between two different antibiotics. Antagonism occurs when the effect of two drugs together is less than the effect of either alone.

68 Future of Chemotherapeutic Agents Antimicrobial peptides Broad spectrum antibiotics from plants and animals Squalamine (sharks) Protegrin (pigs) Magainin (frogs) Phage therapy Bacteriocins: antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria
