In vitro control microorganisms involve either chemical or physical agents. in vivo Chemotherapeutic agents (antimicrobials) are chemical substances that destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms in living tissues
ILOs At the end of this chapter you should be able to: 1-Discuss different methods to control microbial growth in vivo and in vitro 3-Define antimicrobial agent, bactericidal agent, bacteristatic agent, narrowspectrum and broadspectrum antibacterial agents. 4-Classify different antimicrobial agents according to their mechanism of action. 5-Understand mechanisms of action of different antifungal drugs.
6-Prescribe prophylactic antimicrobials only in proper situations. 7-Determine when to prescribe surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis. 8-Discuss the hazards of unnecessary administration of long term course ofantimicrobial treatment. 9-List different mechanisms involved in antimicrobial drug resistance. 10-Know how and when to apply antimicrobials in combinations.
Definitions Antimicrobial agents Naturally antibiotic antibiotic kill or inhibit systemic use any antimicrobial agent whether naturally or synthetically produced. "Chemotherapeutic antimicrobial substance is synthesized in laboratory secondary metabolites produced by living bacteria (e.g. Streptomyces, Bacillus) molds (e.g. Penicillium,Cephalosporium), &is effective against other microorganisms 5

1- Inhibition of Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis Action Resistant bacteria selective toxicity Mycoplasmas & L-forms -Inhibit synthesis of PG Found only in cell wall of bacteria -internal osmotic pressure of bacteria is high, they will take up water rapidly and explode, causing bacteriolysis. Absence of cell wall in host cell 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 13
Examples of these antimicrobial agents -lactam drugs Penicillins cephalosporins cycloserine bacitracin Glycopeptides (vancomycin, teicoplanin) Monobactam (Aztreonam) All carbapenems act by inhibiting cross-linking of PG strands which is the last steps of PG synthesis that give the cell wall its strength All Act by inhibit early steps in PG synthesis that take place inside cytoplasmic membrane 14

Prophylactic Use of Antimicrobials 1-Rheumatic fever 3-Meningococcal meningitis 2-Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) A single large dose of amoxicillin is given prior to dental manipulation to patients with congenital or rheumatic heart disease, to preventsbe. 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 41 rifampin is used for prophylaxis of close contacts
Pathogenesis of SABE
Prophylactic Use of Antimicrobials 4-Cholera 5-Surgical prophylaxis Tetracyclines are used as a prophylaxis to contacts orally To prevent the spread of infection to a primarily clean surgical field 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 43
Criteria for Use of Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis Systemic preventive antibiotics should be used when should have activity against pathogens likely to be encountered in procedure should be administered preoperatively, before induction of anesthesia in most situations High risk of infection is associated with the procedure (e.g., colon resection) Consequences of infection are unusually severe (e.g., total joint replacement) -Patient has a high Risk Postoperative administration beyond 24 hours has not been demonstrated to reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
Complications of Chemotherapy Drug Resistance Superinfection Drug Toxicity Allergy (hypersensitivity) overgrowth of Clostridium difficile causes pseudomembranous colitis.aac Antibiotic will be effective against pathogenic bacteria -suppress normal bacterial flora -overgrowth of potentially pathogenic DR microorganism -Candida leads to oral thrush or vulvovaginitis 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa drug may act as a hapten, binds to tissue proteins &stimulates an exaggerated IR leading to tissue damage penicillins cause allergic reactions (urticaria to anaphylactic shock) Local application of sulfonamides??///////simi may result in contact dermatitis. 45

Resistance to Antimicrobial Drugs Intrinsic inherent or natural Enterococcus is cephalosporin resistant. abuse low dosage, interrupted course, 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 54 Acquired not actually indicated, wrong choice
Intrinsic inherent natural Steptomycetes gene that protects it from the antibiotics it produces Gram-ve CM has pores too small to allow large antibiotic molecules (e.g. nafcillin) to penetrate An organism lacks the target or receptor for the antibiotic e.g. mycoplasmas to penicillins & resistance of Enterococcus species to cephalosporins 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 55
Acquired abuse low dosage, interrupted course, not actually indicated, wrong choice 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 56
Mechanisms of Drug Resistance an alternative metabolic pathway, that bypass reaction inhibited by drug (sulfonamides) 1-MOs produce Enzymes destroy drug an altered structural target (receptor) for drug, ICC of the antibiotic altered enzyme,still perform its metabolic function, but less affected by the drug, e.g. sulfonamide-resistant. 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 57
Mechanisms of Drug Resistance -lactamases (penicillinases) produced by Staphylococci (Gram+ve) destroy penicillins &cephalosporins. 1-Microorganisms produce Enzymes destroy drug Extended spectrum β- lactamases (ESBLs aminoglvcosidesmodifying enzymes Chloramphenicol resistance due to acetyl transferase enzyme. 11/6/2016 produced by Gram- bacilli they confer resistance to Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Monobactam &aztreonam. 58
Mechanisms of Drug Resistance Modification of (PBPs): e.g. resistance to penicillin in pneumococci and resistance to all β -lactam antibiotics in MRSA an altered structural target (receptor) for drug, Alteration of the 30S ribosomal subunit reduces the affinity of aminoglycosides for the ribosome. (Chromosomal resistance). 11/6/2016 59 Alteration of the 50S ribosomal subunit reduces the affinity of macrolides, linezolid and streptogramins for the ribosome.
Reduction of IC concentration of the antibiotic Decrease in influx permeability of OM by modification or loss of porin (e.g. imipenem resistance in Pseudomonas. uptake across the CM, e.g. aminoglycosides resistance in S aureus 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 60
Efflux pumps AB is pumped out across the cytoplasm membrane faster than it can diffuse in, so the concentration of antibiotic remains too low to be effective. macrolides, tetracycline, quinolones and B- lactams by organisms such as Escherichia coli, Shigella and S. aureus. 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 61
Origin of Drug Resistance Non genetic origin Metabolically inactive bacteria (dormancy), Mycobacterium tuberculosis Loss of target structure for the drug ( L forms of bacteria and Mycoplasmas 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 62
Origin of Drug Resistance Genetic origin Chromosomal Spontaneous mutation, resistance to streptomycin due to change in receptor located in the 30 S bacterial ribosome. Extrachromosomal Gene transfer, -lactamases which destroy -lactam ring in penicillins &cephalosporins. 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 63
Genetic Origin 1- Chromosomal: this occurs as a result of spontaneous mutation in a gene that controls the susceptibility to a given drug. This results in change in the structural receptor for the drug. 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 65
Extrachromosomal: resisrance occurs through plasmids or transposons R-factors carry genes usually code for enzymes that are capable of destroying antimicrobial drug, e.g. β lactamases. Genetic material of plasmid can be transferred between bacteria by transduction, conjugation 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 66
Application in Treatment Combination of two or more agents in treatment of tuberculosis, limiting selection of mutants resistant to individual components. Use of beta lactam antibiotics with an aminoglycoside in treatment of streptococcal endocarditis A combination of a beta lactam antibiotic with beta lactamase inhibitor prevent destruction of antibiotic. (combination of amoxicillin with enzyme inhibitor clavulanic acid (Augmentin ) restores activity of antibiotic against many beta lactamase-producing bacteria. 11/6/2016 Dr Faten Mostafa 67
