Q

definition of antibiotics

A

drugs that kill or halt the multiplication of bacterial cells at concentrations that are relatively harmless to host tissues and therefore can be used to treat infections caused by bacteria

how may people died per year in the EU due to multiple resistant drug bacteria
25000
26
how much do we spend each year in extra healthcare and loss of productivity
1.9 billion
27
what is the antimicrobial stewardship programme
an organisational or healthcare system wide approach to promote the monitoring of use of anti microbial to preserve effectiveness
28
what are antimicrobial stewardship strategies
evidence based for optimal standards for routine antimicrobial prescribing ensuring competency and education for prescribers communication to all stakeholders auditing the impact and uptake of processes optimising outcome for patients prescribed antimicrobials
29
when is european antibiotic world awareness day
18th november
30
when is world antibiotic awareness week
12-18th week
31
what should we let patients know in regards to antibiotics
to take them as they are meant to be used | and to not demand antibiotics
32
what can happen to bacteria when patients use chlorhexidine
a gene is activated in Acinetobacter Baumannii to mediate chlorhexidine by actively transporting CHX out of the cell
33
where is acinetobacter baumannii seen
in afghanistan and iraqi war soldiers
34
which bacteria can chlorhexidine effect
acinetobacter baumannii - new super bug risk
35
what is the risk of acinetobacter baumannii
new super bug risk
36
what re the factors that affect efficacy
binding of drug to tissue protraction of key organisms by non target organisms binding or consuming the drug bacterial tissue invasion- must disrupt the biofilm to get access to the key pathogens- as strong cross links are made between key pathogens total bacterial load previous drug therapy non pocket infected sites
37
what is beta lactamase
an enzyme- which can inactivate beta lactam drugs such as penicillin
38
how many times of beta lactamase are there
more than 100 types
39
what is a beta lactamase inhibitor
calvulanic acid also can be used with amoxicillan - Co-amoxiclav
40
what re the 8 types of classification of antibiotics
1. beta lactams 2. aminoglycosides 3. sulphonamides 4. tetracyclines 5. azaleas 6. quinolones 7. macrolides 8. other
41
eg of beta lactams
penicillins
42
eg of aminoglycosides
gentamycin
43
eg of sulphonamides
sulfa/sulpha group
44
eg of tetracycline
doxycycline, minocycline
45
eg of quinolones
ciprofloxacin
46
eg of macrolides
erythromycin and azithromycin
47
why might antimicrobial therapy fail
``` Lack of culture and sensitivity Failure to achieve drainage Non-bacterial causative agent- eg if viral or parasitic will not work Incorrect drug duration or dose- not adequate to achieve plasma conc Lack of compliance Defective host response Persistent risk factors e.g. smoking Lack of substantivity of local agents Drug resistance ```
48
what is lack of culture and sensitivity
swab taken and the sample is cultured and then we can see what and which conc of antibiotic is most effective
49
why can we do not culture and sensitivity all the time
it is very expensive and not feasible
50
what is substantivity
the drug needs to bind to the tissues and release over a period of time
51
how do we prescribe antibiotic
EMPIRICAL culture and sensitivity- ideal but not always possible mono/combination therapy
52
what ideal investigations could we carry out
Culture and sensitivity- the best PCR- only tells what type of bacteria are present ELISA Checkerboard hybridization DNA analysis via nucleic acid probes Genome tests BANA test trypsin like enzyme chairside 1990s invalidated
53
why is PCR and ELISA not the best
only tells what type of bacteria are present
54
why is culture and sensitivity the best
tells us which bacteria are present AND what concentration and types of drug they are sensitive to
55
. Which of the following is NOT a mechanism of action of antibacterial drugs? 1.Breaking of bacterial DNA strands 2.Inhibition of cell wall synthesis 3.Inhibition of capsular material formation 4.Inhibition of protein synthesis
3.Inhibition of capsular material formation
56
does chronic periodontitis require antibiotics
no
57
does aggressive periodontitis require antibiotics
maybe
58
what systemic disease do we think of when talking about periodontitis
diabetes mellitus
59
do we give anitbitioics in NG/NP
no
60
does periodontitis as manifestation of systemic disease require antibiotics
maybe
61
does abscess of periodontium require antibiotics
maybe ut after diabetes in control and RSD
62
does periodontitis associated with Endodontics lesions require antibiotics
no
63
how do we know infection has spread
fever swelling rest issues
64
what is the rationale for systemic therapy
``` Panoral infection in (aggressive) periodontitis Other oral niches colonised with periodontal pathogens Drugs are concentrated in GCF Maintains MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) for long duration ```
65
what antibiotics can be we use for stage 3/4 grade b or c
Penicillins (amoxicillin) with or without clavulanic acid Tetracyclines (doxycycline, tetracycline) Macrolides (azithromycin) and Nitroimidazole (metronidazole)
66
what is the dosage and duration for amoxicillin mechanical perio therapy
500 mg, 2-3 times for 8 days Bacteriocidal | Gram + and Gram –
67
what is the dosage and duration for amoxicillin and clavulanic acid mechanical perio therapy
500 mg, 2-3 times for 8 days Bacteriocidal (broader spectrum than amoxicillin alone)
68
what is the dosage and duration for tetracycline mechanical perio therapy
Tetracycline 500 mg, 4 times for 21 days Bacteriostatic (Gram+ > Gram –)
69
what is the dosage and duration for minocycline mechanical perio therapy
100-200 mg, 1 time for 21 days Bacteriostatic (Gram+ > Gram –) side effects: Bacterial resistance to minocycline
70
what is the dosage and duration for doxycycline mechanical perio therapy
100-200 mg, 1 time for 21 days Bacteriostatic (Gram+ > Gram –) Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, 2 times for 8 days Bacteriocidal (Gram – rods) side effects Nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort

78
what is the dosage and duration for clindamycin
300mg 2x a day for 5-6 days bactericidal anaerobic bacteria
79
why do we not give clindamycin
do not give in dental setting as it causes pseudomembranous colitis far more dangerous than clearing a bacterial infection
80

500mg 2 times for 8 days Bactericidal to Gram- (Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia) ineffective for A.actinomycetemcomitans
81
what are the side effects of metronidazole
dizzy blurred headaches
82
why do we need to be cautious prior to prescription of antibiotics for treatment of perio diease
The antibiotic resistance associated with aggressive periodontitis in 50 UK patients microbial testing SHOULD BE carried out but not routinely done
83
what are the benefits of microbial testing
May assist chronic VS aggressive periodontitis diagnosis Identify specific bacteria for selection of antibiotic adjuncts Performed as part of part of risk assessment
84
what bacteria causes necrotising perio disease
fusospirochaetal complex | eg spirochetes and fusiform bacteria
85
where are the bacteria found in large numbers in NPD
in the slough and necrotic tissue at the surface of the ulcer and also invades greatest distance in the underlying intact tissue at the base of the ulcer.
86
what is the management of NDP in the acute phase treatment
1.Removal of supra and sub gingival deposits -ultrasonic scaling. 2. Systemic antibiotic – Metronidazole tablets 200mg, three times daily for 3 days 3. Chlorhexidine mouth rinse
87
what questions do we need to consider when looking managing a perio abscess
Is it vital? Can drainage be established ? Are there systemic effects? – YES, SYSTEMIC ANTIBIOTICS Can the occlusal force be reduced?
