Enterics (enterobacteriaceae)
In GI tract
Also causes UTI and aspiration pneumonia
H. influenza
Upper respiratory tract
Meningitis
Pneumonia in elderly
Examples of G- in respiratory and GU tract
N. meningitidis, N. gonorrhea
Common anaerobic bactera
Bacteroids fragils
C. diff
Fusobacterium
C. botulinum
C. tetani
Smell bad
Human ribosomes subunits
60s
40s
Bacteria ribosome subunits
50s
30s
We can target this difference with drugs
Bacteria DNA
Single, circular
Single DNA polymerase
Single RNA polymerase
Make own food.
We can target all these differences with drugs
Beta lactams ABx
Cell wall inhibitor
only active against rapidly dividing bacteria
All have beta lactam ring with different R groups that makes each drug unique
Examples of beta lactams
Penicillins
Cephalosporins
Monobactam
Carbapenems
Penicillin structure
Thiazolidine ring attached to beta-lactam ring
Some bacteria have beta-lactamases that break beta-lactam ring deactivating drug.
Side chains determine susceptibility to beta-lactamase
Penicillin mechanism
Covalently binds PBP to to inhibit transpeptidase from cross linking peptidoglycan layers
This causes rupture of cell wall
Favorable characterisitics of penicillin
Small, hydrophillic to get through the porin of the outer membrane
Natural penicillin
Penicillin G (IV preferred)
Penicillin V
Narrow spectrum
Work best against G- cocci, G+, non-beta lactamase producing anaerobes.
Narrow spectrum penicillin
Nafcillin, dicloxacillin, oxacillin, methicillin
Antistaph/strep
Methicillin not used because of resistance, only used to identify resistant strains
Extended spectrum penicilin
Aminopenicillins, Ureidopenicillins
More hydrophilic so can enter G- porins of outer membrain
Work on G- cocci, G+, non-beta-lactamase-producing, Works some in G- rods
Aminopenicillins
Ampicillin, amoxicillin
Extended spectrum penicillin.
Amoxicillin good for oral
most active oral beta-lactams for pneumococci.
Ampicillin best for shigellosis
Ureidopenicillins
Piperacillin
Extended spectrum penicillin
Active against G- bacilli
Antipseudomonal
Combined with beta-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam
Penicillin adverse effects
N/V/D
Rash
hypersensitivity
Nafcillin causes neutropenia adn interstitial nephritis
Oxacillin causes hepatitis
Ampicillin cuases pseudomembranous colitis
Beta lactamase inhibtors
Clavulanate, sulbactam, tazobactam, avibactam
Prevent destruction of beta-lactam ABx
Combined with certain beta-lactams
Little intrinsic antibacterial activity alone
Cephlasporin mechanism
Bind to pBP to interfere with crosslinking of peptidoglycan.
Could be cross reactive for penicillin (don’t give to someone allergic to penicillin)
Cephlasporin
Five generations
Start with Ceph
Less susceptible to beta-lactamase than penicillin
First gen cephalosporins
Cefadroxil (oral)
Cefazolin (parenternal) - surgical prophylaxis
Cephalexin (oral)
G+ cocci
Some G-
UTI
Second gen cephalosporins
Cefaclor (oral)
Cefotetan (parenternal)
Cefoxitin (parenternal)
Cefprozil (oral)
Cefuroxime(oral)
Treat sinusitis, otitis media, lower respiratory infection
G+
more G- coverage
Third gen cephalosporins
Cefdinir
Cefditoren
Cefixime
Cefotaxime
Cefpodoxime
Ceftazidime
Ceftriaxone
G+
Even more G- coverage
Some cross BBB
NO enterobacteria use
Penetrate body fluid and tissues well
Cefixime good for UTI
Ceftriaxone excreted through bile
