BUGS AND DRUGS A REVIEW OF ANTIBIOTICS Curtis M. Grenoble, MHS, PA-C Lock Haven University LECTURE OUTLINE Mechanisms of Action Mechanisms of Resistance Bacterial Resistance Principles of Therapy Choosing an Antibiotic Gram positives, gram negatives & anaerobes Case Scenarios MECHANISMS OF ACTION Goal of antibiotic treatment: Limit host toxicity Maximize specific microbe toxicity Bacteriocidals kill bacteria Bacteriostatics inhibit further growth Allowing immune system to regain control MECHANISMS OF ACTION Common bacteriocidals β-Lactams Penicillins Cephalosporins Carbapenems Monobactams Aminoglycosides MECHANISMS OF ACTION Common bacteriostatics Sulphonamides Tetracyclines Chloramphenicol Macrolides Erythromycin Clarithromycin Azithromycin Trimethoprim (often used along with sulfonamides i.e. Bactrim) MECHANISMS OF RESISTANCE Intrinsic Resistance Analogous to innate (non-specific) human immunity Examples: Obligate anaerobic bacteria to aminoglycosides Gram (–) bacteria to vancomycin Acquired Resistance Analogous to specific action of human immunity Bug, over time, develops resistance to specific mechanism of action Mutation of resident genes, or Acquire new genes and incorporate into own DNA Major problem with over-prescribing antibiotics Pt demands (stronger) antibiotic and practitioner gives in (viral URI, viral pharyngitis) Selects for those organisms with resistance, proliferation, further mutation PRINCIPLES OF ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY First, attempt to specifically ID the bug if accessible Obtain culture Stain specimen and ID under microscope Cocci Bacilli C&S Choose narrowest spectrum and most inexpensive drug that will effectively eliminate the infection. PRINCIPLES OF ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY Susceptibility If peak serum concentration of drug is 4-times the MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) Breakpoint Concentration of antibiotic that separates susceptible from resistant bacteria PRINCIPLES OF ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY Pharmacodynamics Concentration dependent e.g. Aminoglycoside once daily Time dependent e.g. Amoxil for pneumococcal AOM Need to maintain high levels of abx over MIC x number of days More difficult for drug to reach inner ear Younger male with UTI TB therapy PRINCIPLES OF ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY Site of Infection – Difficult to treat Meningitis – blood-brain barrier, some don’t cross at all, others not enough Bacterial endocarditis – Growth may be difficult to penetrate and often possess both innate and acquired immunity Osteomylitis – dense tissue, low vascularity Intraocular infections – no blood in vitreous, special vessels mediate exchange of nutrients with vitreous Abscesses – encapsulated, thick, fibrous, poorly vascularized Need to I&D PRINCIPLES OF ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY Site of Infection – Easy to Treat Urinary Tract Infection High drug concentration in urine due to elimination via kidneys In the past, PCN purified from urine to reuse before made synthetically PRINCIPLES OF ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY Empiric Therapy Life-threatening infection Need to treat immediately with best guess of causative organism Based on signs, symptoms and epidemiology Need to know most likely causative organism in a given institution Community-acquired Infection Need to know most likely causative organism in: Community Population Age group CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS β-Lactams Penicillins β-lactamase susceptible – Penicillin G (parenteral) V (oral), ampicillin, amoxicillin, ticarcillin β-lactamase resistant – Methicillin, oxacillin, nafcillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid (Augmentin) Cephalosporins 1st Generation – Cephalexin, cephradine, cephadroxil 2nd Generation – Cefaclor, cefoxitin, cefuroxime, cefdinir, ceftibuten 3rd Generation – Ceftriaxone th 4 Generation - Cefepime Carbapenems Imipenem, meropenem, ertapenem Monobactams Aztreonam CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS Non-β-Lactams Vancomycin Aminoglycosides – streptomycin, gentamicin, tobramycin Macrolides and Ketolides – erythromycin, azithro-, telithro- Licosamides – clindamycin Chloramphenicol Tetracyclines – tetracyclin, doxycycline, minocycline Fluoroquinolones – ciprofloxacin, gati-, moxi-, levo-, etc Rifampin Metronidazole CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS Penicillin G and V Spectrum Spirochetes Treponema pallidum (Syphilis) Borrelia (Lyme Dz) Streptococci Groups A and B Many strains of S. pneumoniae Clostridium species Penicillin G and V Sensitive Diseases Syphilis Strept infections groups A and B Tetanus CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS Ampicillin Spectrum Enterococcus faecalis Salmonella Haemophilus influenzae Ampicillin Diseases E. faecalis UTI Salmonellosis H. flu AOM & epiglottitis Amoxicillin-Clavulanic Acid (Augmentin) Pasturella multocida Dog/Cat bite Wounds obtained in wet environment CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS 1st Generation Cephalosporins Spectrum Escherichia Coli Klebsiella pneumoniae Proteus mirabilis 1st Generation Cephalosporins Diseases Community acquired UTI UTI secondary to indwelling bladder catheter Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia (alcoholics, DM, lung dz) Abdominal infection Surgical site/soft tissue infection CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS Oral 2nd Generation Cephalosporins Spectrum Gram positive cocci (streptococci, staphylococci) Haemophilus influenzae Oral 2nd Generation Cephalosporins Diseases Otitis media Sinusitis Lower respiratory tract infection CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS Parenteral 3rd Generation Cephalosporins Spectrum Enteric gram-negative rods Pseudomonas Listeria Parenteral 3rd Generation Cephalosporins Diseases Gonorrhea (Ceftriaxone) Salmonellosis Listeria bacterial menningitis CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS 4th Generation Cephalosporins Spectrum Gram-positive bacteria Gram-negative bacteria P. aeruginosa Enterobacteriaceae 4th Generation Cephalosporins Diseases Intra-abdominal infections Respiratory tract infections Skin infections CHOICE OF ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS Vancomycin Spectrum Gram-positive cocci (enterococci, streptococci, staphylococci) Vancomycin Diseases Methicillin-resistant staph aureus Second-line for most gram-positive P.O. in pseudomembranous colitis Not absorbed when taken P.O.
