whats the deal with AB divelopment
its slowed down bc there isnt money in it. we are getting resistance and tehre are some bugs we cant treat with AB
whts the key word in AB
it kills BACTERIA

-only helps infections that are caused by bacteria
what is bactericidal?
what is bacteriostatic?
1. Bactericidal- kills target organism

2. Bacterostatic- inhibits growth of bacteria and assumes the immune system will clear up the rest. DONT use with immunocomprimised ppl or in privledged areas

**sometimes the terms are not as clear. ie a deep infection treated with bactericidal agent may not be totally killed bc the AB cant get as deep as the bug is
what kind of drug inhibits growth of bacteria

what kind of drug kills bacteria
1. Bacteriostatic- it assumes immune system will clean up the rest. dont use in privledged areas or with immunocomprimised ppl

2. Bactericidal
what is a narrow and wide range spectrum AB?
1. Narrow: effective for the identified pathogen, wont kill our flora

2. Wide: kills lots so the pathogen doesnt need to be ID, can be bad bc all bugs lyse including normal flora, also bugs die and spill DNA, this can lead to increased resistance
whats kind of AB? tell me some positives and negatives about this class/

Erythromyocin, Vancomyosin, Clindamycin
Narro Spectrum

**good bc they only kill the pathogen and less resistance is developed but you MUST ID the pathogen
whats kind of AB? tell me some positives and negatives about this class/

amoxicillin
tetracycline, streptomycin, chloramphenicol
Broad Spectrum

**you dont need to have the pathogen ID, but it kills all the bugs and can lead to increased resistance.

**if given several times in kids under 1 year it can increase incidence of asthma
what is selective toxicity?
it means that AB are more harmful to bug than us

Exploit differences
1. Cell wall proteoglycans
2. Protein synthesis machinery (70s ribosome)
by targeting 70s ribosomes what are we doing
taking advantage of differences!

**selective toxicity

**just be careful that there is some structural simliiarity btwn bug 70s and our 80s so there can be some overlap killing
what cmpd do many antifungals target? is it selectively toxic
Ergosterol in the fungi are targeted

**looks a lot like our chcolesterol so we get killing of our cells. it is selectiveyl toxic but its not great

how doe sthe use of AB create selection for AB R bugs
they are the only ones who survive,

resistance gene transfer and random mutations both allow a bug to.....?
be AB resistance
do plasmids have just 1 R gene
nope, they can have LOTS
what are 4 mechs of bacterial R
1. Alteration of drug targets like Ribosomal mutation

1. erythromycin (also alters drug target)

2. Tetracycline
what is it called when an AB cant kill a bug bc the bug shoots the AB right out of its PM

2. trimethoprim

**these were involved in folic acid inhibition
why dont you want to overuse AB with the "best guess" method and use a wide spectrum AB
you kill all the normal flora

**the normal flora protect against pathogens from calling your body home. this means when normal flora is gone a pathogen that was AB R can not infect you really easily
what are the consequences of AB R
1. Increased morbidity and mortality
2. increased health care costs
AB drugs are too expensive now? why
poor ppl cant get them bc we have thyphoid and TB resitance that require dif $$$ drugs. cant contain outbreaks

in teh ICU
whats a superbug
its a bug that is resistant to most AB bc of AB overuse
what are some other things that contribute to AB R
1. AB in food animals

2. Social things

3. Pts not using them right/docs not prescribing them right

4. Colleteral damage of killing natural flora

5. other transmission (not washing hands btwn pts)
does eating AB treated cows cause AB R
yep

the eat and excrete the AB and them we eat them up. Resistant bugs can spread this way
do we get AB R from over prescribing/ prescribing them wo reason
sure thign

they dont work for virus, dont try!!
if an AB doesnt work is it due to AB R
mainly but can also be...

1. the AB just cant reach teh bug, ie if infection is too deep (abcess) or BBB

2. the drug would need to be given at a super high dose that is toxic
what is not a mech of AB resistance?

1. bugs recognice resistnace genes and dont express
2. AB altered or degraded
3. change cell membrane perm to pump out AB
4. target (in streptomycin) enxyme develops decreased affinity for the AB
1 bugs recognize R genes and dont express them****
