Breakage of the B-lactam ring. ex: anti-streptomycin ex: anti-tetracyclins quinolines ex: anti-B-lactams ex. anti-sulfanilamides Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance •Efflux Pumps •Hydrolysis •Reduced Uptake •Sequestering •Enzymatic Modification mechanisms The four main mechanisms by which microorganisms exhibit resistance to antimicrobials are: Drug inactivation or modification: e.g. enzymatic deactivation of Penicillin G in some penicillin-resistant bacteria through the production of ß-lactamases. Alteration of target site: e.g. alteration of PBP—the binding target site of penicillins— in MRSA and other penicillin-resistant bacteria. Alteration of metabolic pathway: e.g. some sulfonamide-resistant bacteria do not require para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an important precursor for the synthesis of folic acid and nucleic acids in bacteria inhibited by sulfonamides. Instead, like mammalian cells, they turn to utilizing preformed folic acid. Reduced drug accumulation: by decreasing drug permeability and/or increasing active efflux (pumping out) of the drugs across the cell surface.[4] There are three known mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance. Some types of efflux pumps can act to decrease intracellular quinolone concentration. In gram-negative bacteria, plasmid-mediated resistance genes produce proteins that can bind to DNA gyrase, protecting it from the action of quinolones. Finally, mutations at key sites in DNA gyrase or Topoisomerase IV can decrease their binding affinity to quinolones, decreasing the drug's effectiveness.[5] Tetracyclines • Broad-spectrum activity – Includes aerobic G+ and G, atypicals [Rickettsia spp, treponema spp, chlamydia spp, and others] – Little to no effect on fungi or viruses • • • • Tetracycline Doxycycline* Minocycline Tigecycline www.3dchem.com Summary • Bacteria have evolved ways to counteract the effects of most antibiotics. • They mutate to alter target sites or recruit enzymes to degrade or pump out antibiotics • They share their tricks with other bacteria through gene transfer
