transglycosylase
couples the disaccharide of one peptidoglycan unit to the disaccharide unit of another peptidoglycan unit via a glycosidic bond between the sugars
builder
transpeptidase
couples the penultimate D-alanine moiety of one peptido- glycan unit to the terminal glycine residue of another peptidoglycan unit via a peptide bond
builder
carboxypeptidase
cleaves the terminal alanine of an peptidoglycan unit that is not cross-linked to another unit
clean up
endopeptidase
breaks the peptide bond crosslinks forms by transpeptidase
degradation
peptide bond via transpeptidase
terminal amino group of one peptidoglycan is bound to the interior pen-ultimate-D-Ala of another
beta lactam ring is needed for
PBP acylation
inhibition of PBP by beta lactams is what kind of bond
pseudo-irreversible bond
Mechanism of PBP acylation by Penicillins: step 1
recognition of active site (transpeptidase)
Amide is electrophilic because the ring is sterically compressed which eliminates resonance. This allows the amide to be reactive
Mechanism of PBP acylation by Penicillins: step 2
pseudo-irreversible inhibition of PBP
Pseudo refers to the fact that this inhibition is weak and can be overcome by: hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, displacement, or addition
conditions that open the beta lactam ring
acid
base
nucleophile (PBP)
enzyme
beta lactam is chemically reactive for two reasons
- ring strain (4 membered ring)
- fusion of 5 membered ring on to the 4 membered ring destroys resonance and co-planarity
ie carbonyl is electrophilic and nitrogen is basic
MRSA, MRSE, stenotrophomonas maltophilia, chlamydia, mycoplasma, fungi, parasites, viruses, and legionella are resistant to
all penicillins
All streps (except pneumonia) and peptostreptococcus susceptible to
all penicillins
Rickettsii and chlamydia are intracellular parasites so penicillin cannot
gain access to them
Drugs do not diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the outer membrane. They need…
porins
capsules and cell walls do not typically represent barriers for…
drug exposure
mutant beta lactamases that tend to survive and spread over time have what kind of affinity or catalysis for beta lactam rings
increased affinity (lower Km) increased catalysis (higher Kcat)
mutant beta lactamases that tend to die over time have what kind of affinity or catalysis for beta lactam rings
decreased affinity (higher Km) decreased catalysis (lower Kcat)
E coli non-beta lactamase producer susceptible to
those Pens that can penetrate the OM and bind to target PBP
AP and ESP
E coli BSBL producers relatively resistant to
all pens when used alone
susceptible to AP + BLI , ESP + BLI
E coli BSBL hyperproducer with modified porins resistant to
all pens when used alone
Relatively resistant to AP + BLI and ESP + BLI
E coli IRBSBAL producer resistant to
all pens when used alone
Resistant to AP + BLI and ESP + BLI
E coli ESBL producers resistant to
all pens when used alone
susceptible to AP + BLI and ESP + BLI
P. aeruginosa pinicillinase producers resistant to
ALL but ESP
Use ESP + BLI
