Aminoglycosides Bactericidal inhibitors of protein synthesis Concentration dependent bacteria killing Postantibiotic effect Major limitation of use is the serious toxicity Nephrotoxicity Ototoxicity
26
Aminoglycosides: Indications Primarily against aerobic, gram negative bacilli Activity against gram positive bacteria limited Synergistic effect against “sensitive” (high- level) streptococci and enterococci when used with a cell wall active agent
27
Penetrating the Cell Diffuse through porin proteins on the outer membrane of gram negative cell wall Transport across inner membrane depends on electron transport Membrane potential drives permeation Transport can be blocked by reduction in pH and anaerobic environment Adapted from: http://web.indstate.edu/thcme/micro/respiratory/sld006.htm Gram Negative Bacteria
28
Mechanism of Action Bactericidal Inhibit protein synthesis Bind to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit Blocks initiation of protein synthesis Cause misreading of mRNA template Cause premature termination of translocation Goodman and Gilman’s
29
Aminoglycosides: Resistance Modes of resistance Decreased permeation of aminoglycosides Low affinity for bacterial ribosome Drug inactivation by microbial enzymes Important clinically Amikacin is less vulnerable
30
Structure Goodman and Gilman’s
31
Aminoglycosides Resistance: Intrinsic vs. Acquired Intrinsic: Anaerobes: lack active electron transport chain to cross membrane Mutation at 16s rRNA (ie TB) Acquired: Efflux: seen in Pseudomonas Decreased transmembrane potential: seen in Enterococcus
32
Aminoglycosides Distribution: Freely into the vascular space Interstitial spaces of most tissues Volume of distribution increases in edematous states and decreases in obese patients (on L/kg basis) Decreased concentrations: Bronchial secretions, CSF, biliary tract, synovial fluid, and in the eye Excreted by the kidneys Half-life: 1.5 to 3.5 hours
33
Aminoglycosides Toxicity: Nephrotoxicity: Incidence 5% to 25% Risk factors: Ototoxicity (cochlear, vestibular) Neuromuscular blockade (very rare) Renal Disease Hypotension Hepatic dysfunction Frequent dosing interval Larger doses Other nephrotoxic medications Increased Age Treatment > 3 days
34
Toxicity Dependent on: Total amount of drug AND duration of therapy Nephrotoxicity Most often reversible Accumulation of drug in proximal tubular cells Mild rise in Scr (0.5-1 mg/dl) Reduced excretion of drug = increased risk of ototoxicity Ototoxicity Largely irreversible if not caught early Destruction of vestibular and cochlear sensory cells High-pitched tinnitus is often 1 st symptom
35
Aminoglycosides Site of infection: determines goal levels and dose Peak concentrations: Gram + Synergy: 3 – 5 mcg/mL UTI: 3 – 4 mcg/mL Bacteremia: 6 – 8 mcg/mL Pneumonia: 8 – 10 mcg/mL Weight based dosing: use IBW or ABW Interval: once-daily dosing for gram-negative infection (normal renal function, 7 mg/kg/day). Gram + synergy 1mg/kg q 8-12h.
36
Gentamicin: Once Daily Dosing 5-7mg/kg/24hrs (ABW) Target peak 14-20 mcg/ml Allows low troughs Avoid in patients with: Burns, CF, pregnancy, children, endocarditis or CrCl < 20ml/min
37
Tobramycin Antimicrobial activity and PK properties very similar to gentamicin Superior activity against P. aeruginosa Less active than gentamicin against enterococci Can be given IV or IM Dosage and serum levels are same as gentamicin
38
Amikacin Broadest spectrum of activity Resistant to aminoglycoside-inactivating enzymes Less active against enterococci Similar dosing interval and monitoring Peak Life-threatening infection25-30 mcg/ml Serious infection20-25 mcg/ml Trough Life threatening infection4-8 mcg/ml Most infections1-4 mcg/ml
