Q

Resistance has two types mey be :

A
  1. Inherent, intrinsic or innate resistance :
    The properties of the bacterium are responsible for preventing the antibiotic action.
  2. Acquired or extrinsic resistance :
    It occurs when bacteria which were previously susceptible become resistant after exposure to certain antibiotic

Q

Differences between Intrinsic and Extrinsic?

A

Intrinsic resistance is always chromosomally mediated

Acquired resistance may occur by mutations in the chromosome or by the acquisition of genes coding for resistance from an external source normally via a Plasmid or Transposon

Q

Mechanisms of Acquired Resistance

A

1- Reduction in cellular permeability to the antibiotic
2- Production of drug-inactivating enzymes.
3. Efflux Pump
4- Change in the antibiotic target site
5- Switch to alternative metabolic pathways unaffected by the drug.
6-Increased production of essential metabolite: that out compete antibiotic (e.g. increased production of PABA confers
resistance to sulfonamides).
Note: PABA is para-aminobenzoic acid that is used in DHF synthesis

The common characteristic the agents with hydrophobic domain.

Mutants resistant to low levels of chloramphenicol, tetracyclines, rifampicin, penicillins and quinolones, due to impaired uptake of the antibiotics have been identified and are widespread

53
Q

Prevention of Antibiotic Resistance

A

  2. Do not take an antibiotic for a viral infection like a cold, most sore throats or flu
  3. Do not save any of your antibiotic prescription
  4. Take an antibiotic exactly as the doctor tells you
  5. Do not take an antibiotic that is prescribed for someone else
54
Q

Overcoming Antibiotic Resistance

A
  1. Altering the use of existing antibiotics
    A. Decrease the duration of the antibiotic so the organism does not create
    resistance
    B. Increase the dosage of the antibiotic for a higher concentration of drug
    C. Discontinue use of an antibiotic
  2. Rotation (cycling) of antibiotics used in treatment
    Especially useful when used with last resort treatments
  3. Combination (mixing) of antibiotics in a treatment
    Minimizes possibility of resistance since the organism needs two ways to get rid of antibiotics
55
Q

Drug resistance problem

A
  1. Resistance will NOT occur once enough antibiotic and time are given to cause a clinical problem
    Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae took 25 years to become a clinical problem
  2. Organisms that are resistant to one antibiotic will probably become resistant to others
    Neisseria gonorrhoeae was first resistant to penicillin before tetracycline

3.Drug resistance will not disappear, although it may decline slowly – the decrease is associated with poorly reversible genetic and environmental factors

56
Q

Neisseria gonorrhoeae was first resistant to penicillin before tetracycline

A

TRUE
