ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMOTHERAPY Selective Toxicity
8
CHEMOTHERAPY Allows the normal host- defense mechanisms to gain control.

Chemotherapy of Infectious Disease Goal-Assist the body in getting rid of the infecting organism Goal-Assist the body in getting rid of the infecting organism

16
SOURCE OF DRUG Antibiotics-natural substances produced by microorganisms. Synthetics Semisynthetics
17
CHOICE OF THE ANTIBIOTIC First determine etiology of the infection.
18
CHOICE OF THE ANTIBIOTIC Sensitivity pattern of the infecting organism must be determined. Successful therapy depends on achieving inhibitory or bactericidal concentrations at the site of infection with minimal toxicity. Consider pharmacokinetics and host factors. Consider pharmacokinetics and host factors.

20
PHARMACOKINETIC FACTORS Location of Infection. Route of Administration. Pattern of excretion, metabolism, and degree of protein binding.
21
HOST FACTORS Host defense (Immunocompetence). Local factors. Age. Genetic factors. Drug Allergy.
22
HOST FACTORS Renal disease and liver disease. AIDS Pregnancy.
23
USES OF ANTIBIOTICS Empirical antimicrobial therapy- before the pathogen is known. Infections with known etiology.
24
MISUSES OF ANTIBIOTICS Treatment of nonresponsive infections. Therapy of fever of unknown origin Fever of short duration Fever persisting for 2 or more weeks.
25
MISUSES OF ANTIBIOTICS Dosing errors Wrong frequency Excessive or subtherapeutic doses
26
MISUSES OF ANTIBIOTICS Inappropriate reliance on chemotherapy alone (e.g. abscesses).
27
MISUSES OF ANTIBIOTICS Lack of adequate bacteriological information. Absence of supporting dataAbsence of supporting data Agents selected by habitAgents selected by habit Doses are routine, rather than individualizedDoses are routine, rather than individualized
28
COMBINATION CHEMOTHERAPY Separate but simultaneous administration.
29
Combination Chemotherapy- Advantages Treatment of polymicrobial infections. Prevent or delay resistance. Synergy.
30
Combination Chemotherapy- Advantages Severe infections of unknown etiology-empirical therapy.
31
DISADVANTAGES Increased risk of toxicity. Increased likelihood of superinfections. Increased cost. Antagonism of an antibacterial effect.
32
FIXED DOSE COMBINATIONS Ratio and dose of antibiotics are determined based on in vitro studies. Encourages inadequate treatment.
33
PROPHYLAXIS OF INFECTION This should be used only in circumstances in which efficacy has been demonstrated and the benefits outweigh the risks.
34
PROPHYLAXIS OF INFECTION Effective when a single drug is used to prevent infection from a specific microorganism. In patients undergoing organ transplantation or receiving cancer chemotherapy.
35
PROPHYLAXIS OF INFECTION Primary and 2ndary prevention of opportunistic infections in AIDS patients when CD4 counts are below certain threshholds.
36
PROPHYLAXIS OF INFECTION Patients with valvular or other structural lesions of the heart who are undergoing dental, surgical or other procedures that produce a high incidence of bacteremia.
37
PROPHYLAXIS OF INFECTION To prevent wound infections after various surgical procedures.
38
Complications of Antimicrobial Therapy Drug Resistance Superinfections Toxicity
39
DRUG RESISTANCE Involves a stable genetic change in the bacteria.
40
DRUG RESISTANCE Mutation and selection with passage vertically. Horizontal transfer from a donor cell by transduction, transformation or conjugation.
41
MUTATION-SELECTION Occurs in many different genes. Random events that confer a survival advantage when a drug is present.
42
CHROMOSOMAL MUTATIONS Antibiotics are acting as selecting agents.
43
+ Antibiotic
45
Resistant Population
46
HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER Mobile genetic elements (plasmids, transposable elements, integrons, gene cassettes). Transduction Transformation
47
CONJUGATION Direct cell to cell contact through a sex pilus or bridge Direct cell to cell contact through a sex pilus or bridge Very important for the spread of resistance because multiple resistance genes can be transferred simultaneously. Very important for the spread of resistance because multiple resistance genes can be transferred simultaneously.
50
Enzyme Inactivation Altered Permeability Mod. of target site and reduced affinity
51
CROSS-RESISTANCE e.g. sulfonamides, penicillins
52
PREVENTION OR DELAY OF RESISTANCE Judicious (appropriate) or careful use of antibiotics Adequate Dosage Combination Chemotherapy
56
SUPERINFECTIONS A new infection appearing during the chemotherapy of a primary one. Caused by removing inhibitory influence of the normal flora.
57
+ Antibiotic (Broad spectrum)
58
Resistant pathogen
59
Secondary infection from resistant organisms
60
TREATMENT OF THE SUPERINFECTION Stop present therapy. Culture infected area. Treat against the offending microorganism.
61
TOXICITY Hypersensitivity Direct Toxicity- GI
64
BACTERICIDAL AGENTS Drugs whose killing action is time dependent don’t show increased killing above MBC; bactericidal activity continues as long as the serum concns. exceed MBC.
66
Gram+ Gram _
67
Gram+ Gram _ Rickettsia Amoeba
68
Drug Concentration on microbial killing AUC:MIC (area under the serum concentration time curve: minimal inhibitory concentration). Peak serum concentration:MIC
69
Appropriate Dose of Antimicrobial Agent Once an antimicrobial regimen has been selected the optimal dosing regimen must be determined. Principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are used to determine this.
70
Appropriate Dose of Antimicrobial Agent Principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are used to determine this.
71
Appropriate Dose of Antimicrobial Agent Pharmacodynamics-relates the interaction between the drug concentration at the site of action over time and the desired antimicrobial effect.
72
Appropriate Dose of Antimicrobial Agent Pharmacodynamic factors include cidal vs static activity and postantibiotic effects.
73
CIDAL VS STATIC For primarily static agents inhibitory drug concn’s are much lower than cidal concn’s. Usually cell wall active drugs are cidal and protein synthesis inhibitors are static.
74
CIDAL VS STATIC Some agents that are considered to be static may be cidal vs selected organisms.
75
CIDAL VS STATIC Static and cidal agents are equivalent for immunocompetent hosts. Cidal agents should be used when host defenses are impaired.
76
CIDAL VS STATIC Bactericidal agents can be divided into 2 groups (1) concentration dependent e.g. aminoglycosides and quinolones and (2)time dependent killing e.g. beta lactams and vancomycin.
77
BACTERICIDAL AGENTS For drugs whose killing action is concn. dependent the rate and extent of killing increases with increasing drug concentrations (maximizing peak serum concns results in increased efficacy and decreased selection of resistant bacteria).
78
POSTANTIBIOTIC EFFECT Persistent suppression of bacterial regrowth after brief exposure. Mechanism is likely multifactorial and may vary with the specific antimicrobial drug and organism combination.
79
Hours No. of Viable bacteria/ml. Postantibiotic effect Drug added Drug removed 084
80
Postantibiotic Effect Clinical relevance-with aminoglycosides it has allowed once daily dosing which is associated with less toxicity and lower monitoring costs than conventional dosing.
81
POSTANTIBIOTIC EFFECT With aminoglycosides it has allowed once daily dosing and less monitoring.
