History of Antibiotics






Molds were used in ancient cultures
1880s: Search for antibiotics began after acceptance
of the germ theory
1929: The mold penicillium was found to inhibit
bacterial growth of Staph aureus
1935: Synthetic antimicrobial were discovered
(sulfonamides)
1942: Penicillin G Procaine was manufactured & sold
1940s-1960s: Natural antibiotics (streptomycin,
chloramphenicol, tetracycline, etc) were discovered

Choice of Antibiotics


Identify the infecting organism
Evaluate drug sensitivity




Target the site of infection
Drug safety/side effect profile



Antibiotogram
Specific sensitivities of the organism
Selective toxicity: drugs that kill microorganisms but do not
affect the host
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Patient factors



Age
Genetic or metabolic abnormalities
Renal or hepatic function
Mechanism of Action

Bacteria have their own enzymes for:






Cell wall formation
Protein synthesis
DNA replication
RNA synthesis
Synthesis of essential metabolites
Antibiotics target these sites
Minimal Inhibitory Concentration
(MIC)




Lowest concentration of antimicrobial that
inhibits the growth of the organism after an
18 to 24 hour incubation period
Interpreted in relation to the specific antibiotic
and achievable drug levels
Can not compare MICs between different
antibiotics
Discrepancies between in vitro and in vivo
MIC
Time Above MIC

Effectiveness of beta-lactams, macrolides,
clindamycin, & linezolid is optimal when the
concentration of the antibiotics exceeds the
MIC of the organism for > 40% of the dosing
interval at the site of the infection
Concentration Dependent Killing

aminoglycosides is greatest when peak levels
of the drug are high
