Why do we combine antibiotics
1-broaden the effect and treat polymicrobial infections
2-prevent emergence of resistant organisms
3- synergistic effect
What are the Results of antimicrobial combinations
1-Antibiotic synergism 1+1=3
2-Antibiotic antagonism1+1=0
3- antibiotic additive 1+1=2
What substance is responsable for the injury to plasma membrane
Polymyxin B
When is the best use fir antimicrobial cell wall inhibition?
When bacteria is young and actively growing (log phase)
What are the affect sites of action in antimicrobial drugs
1-inhibit cell wall 2-inhibit protein synthesis 3-inhibit nucleic acid synthesis 4-injure plasma membrane 5- inhibit synthesis of metabolites
Peptidoglycan percentages of cell wall in G+ve , mycobacterium and G-ve bacteria
G+=50%
G-= 10-20%
Mycobac=30%
Peptidoglycan is composed of….
Sugar chain linked by short peptide chains containing(NAG)/(NAM)
——— is connected by tetra peptide side chains
NAM
____ have a beta lactam ring
Penicellin
Ampicillin is active on?
G -ve but not p.aeruginosa
Carbenicillin are active on?
P.aeruginosa
Natural penicillin is only affictive on
G+ve
What is the mechanism action of penicillin
It prevents peptidoglycan cross links in final stage of the pathway of cell wall forming (transpeptidase binding)
How do we evade beta lactamase?
1 use non beta-lactam agent
2 use B-lactam+B-lactamase inhibitors(بلطجي)
3 steric inhibiton (large sidechains/cephalosporins)
What is the penicillin binding protien
Transpeptidases
What is the difference between old and new definitions of antibiotic?
The new produced wholly or partially by chemical synthesis
What is super infection
And what is pre infiction
Overgrowth one type of microbes in response yo antibiotic(candida-yeast)
Pre=prophylaxis give drug before infection can occur
What are the sources of antibiotecs
1-natural
2-synthesis
3-semis-synthesis
What is the source of the following…
Penicillin
Cephalosporins
Chloramphenicol
Semi-synthesis = penicillin/cephalosporins
Synthetic=chloramphenicol
What are the sources of antibiotics?(from microbes)
G+ve rods
Fungi
Actinomycetes
Give examples for antibacterial
Broad spectrum
Narrow spectrum
Broad = tetra cyclines Narrow = penicillin/isoniazid(myco)
Bacteriostatic activity
The level that inhibits growth of an organism
MIC?
Lowest concentration that inhibits growth of an organism
MBC
Lowest concentration that kills 99.9% of bacteria
