MIC
minimum inhibitory concentration
lowest concentration of drug required to inhibit growth
determined by CLSI
tests to determine MIC
dilution
disk diffusion
optical diffusion
bacteriostatic
arrests growth and replication of bacteria
bactericidal
kills bacterial
targets of antimicrobials
cell wall synthesis cell membrane synthesis synthesis of 30S and 50S ribosome subunits nucleic acid metabolism fnx of topoisomerases folate synthesis
resistance mechansims
- reduced entry of antibiotic into pathogen
- enhanced export of antibiotic by efflux pumps
- release of microbial enzymes which destroy antibiotic
- alteration of microbial proteins that transform pro-drugs to effective drugs
- alteration of target proteins
- development of alternative pathways to those inhibited by antibiotics
classification based on
class and spectrum of microorganism it kills biochemical pathway it interferes with chemical structure
inhibitors of cell wall synthesis
penicillins cephalosporins carbapenems monobactams glycopeptides
B-lactams MOA
structural analogs of D-Ala-D-Ala
covalently bind penicillin-binding proteins inhibitin the last transpeptidation step in cell wall synthesis
B-lactam resistance
structural differences in PBPs
decreased PBP affinity for B-lactams
inability for drug to reach site of action
active efflux pumps
drug destruction and inactivation by B-lactamases
Natural penicillins spectrum
highly effective against gram + cocci, but easily hydrolyzed by penicillinase
natural penicillins therapeutic use
narrow spectrum
strep pneumoniae pneumonia and menigitis
penicillin V uses
strep pyogens, strep viridans (endocarditis), syphilis
anti-staphylococcal penicillins spectrum
penicllinase resistant thus agents of choice for staph aureus and staph epidermis that are not methicillin resistant
anti-staphylococcal penicillins uses
restricted to infections w/known staph sensitivity
aminopenicillins spectrum
extended-spectrum
frequently administered w/b-lactamase inhibitor
gram + and -
aminopenicillin uses
URI (S. pyogenes, S. pneumonia, H. influenza)
sinusitis
otitis media
enterococcal infections
anti-pseudomonal penicillins spectrum
extends sepctrum to pseudomonas aeruginosa
enterobacter
proteus
anti-pseudomonal penicillins uses
serious gram - infections hospital acquired pneumonia immunocompromised bacteremia burn infections UTIs
penicillin adverse effects
allergic rxns anaphylaxis interstitial nephritis (rare) nausea, vomiting, mild-severe diarrhea pseusomembranous colitis
first generation cephalosproins spectrum
good gram + coverage
modest gram - (moraxella, E. coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, P. mirabilis)
first generation cephalosporins uses
skin and soft tissue infections
surgical prophylaxis
second generation cephalosporins spectrum
somewhat increased activity against gram -, but less active then 3rd generation
subset active against bacteroides fragilis
second generation cephalosporins uses
gram neg mixed anaerobic
intra-abdominal infections
PID
diabetic foot infections
third generation cephalosporins
less active against gram +
more against enterobacteriaceae
resistance increasing
third generation uses
DOC for serious gram - infections (klebsiella, enterobacter, proteus, providencia, serratia, Haemophilus)
DOC for gonorrhea and sever Lyme, meningits
fourth generation cephalosporin spectrum
extends beyond 3rd gen psuedomnas
fourth generation uses
empirical Tx of nosocomial infections
