Definition of PDR

A

Resistant to all agents in antimicrobial categories

We will therefore use experimental or off the market drugs

Q

What is the biggest challenge of modern medicine?

A

Antibiotic resistance, a ‘silent tsunami’

Causes 700,000 deaths worldwide, and will rise up to 10 million by 2050

Q

Why does WHO do pathogens prioritization?

A

To develop new antibiotics for drug-resistant bacterial infections, ESPECIALLY for tuberculosis

17
Q

What is the #1 global infectious disease killer?

A

Tuberculosis

18
Q

What is the most lethal airborne drug resistant pathogen? Where is it found?

A

MDR-TB

Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa
in Asia and Africa it can even be XDR-TB

19
Q

Identify 3 of the top countries with the highest reported incidence of MDR-TB to WHO as of 2018

A

India - China - Russia

20
Q

For which bacteria is it especially hard to find new antibiotics?

A

Gram - bacteria (they are critical priority!)

21
Q

What are the 3 critical priority bacteria?

A

Acetinobacter baumannii
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Enterobactertaceae

All carbapenem-resistant

22
Q

What are the 6 high priority bacteria?

A
Enterococcus faectum
Helicobacter pylori
Salmonella species
Staphylococcus aureus
Campylobacter species
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
23
Q

What are the three medium priority bacteria?

A

Streptococcus pneumoniae
Haemophilus influenzae
Shigella species

First 2 cause pneumonia

24
Q

What are the 5 reasons to control AMRs?

A

1) ↓ colonization of host
2) ↓ toxic Ab options
3) Protect the effectiveness of our limited reserve of antimicrobials
4) ↓ circulating pool of resistance genes
5) 30% of ppl colonized will develop an infection in a few years

25
What are 5 mechanisms of resistance?
1) Acquiring resistance genes via conjugation, transposition or transformation 2) Synthesis of enzymes that break down the drug 3) Chemically ↓ the drug's function 4) Prevent access of the drug to its target by inhibiting uptake, increasing export or modifying the target receptor size 5) Chromosomal mutations during replications
26
Where does antibiotic resistance spread?
Hospitals, nursing homes, daycares, abroad (ex: shigella), water, food, gyms, etc.
27
Give 5 examples of antibiotic classes
1) Penicillin with b-lactam inhibitors 2) 3rd gen cephalosporin 3) Carbapenems 4) Aminoglycosides 5) Fluoroquinolones
28
What are risk factors for AMR colonization
``` Staying in: Prolonged hospital stay ICU Close proximity to infected (sharing same bed/household) Foreign hospital stays LTC facilities ``` ``` Use of: IV Central line Prior antibiotics Ventilators ```
29
Why are patients with comorbidities (especially renal/liver disease and transplant) at risk of AMR colonization?
They are more likely to already be on antibiotics
