Antibiotics
Actions
Bactericidal
Kills bacteria, reduces bacterial load
Bacteriostatic
Inhibit growth and reproduction of bacteria
All antibiotics require the immune system to work
properly
Bactericidal appropriate in poor immunity
Bacteriostatic require intact immune system

Spectrum of Activity
• Very wide
• Gram positive and negative bacteria
• Anaerobes
• Spirochetes
• Spectrum of activity depends on the agent
and/or its group
Adverse Effects
Penicillin hypersensitivity – 0.4% to 10 %
– Mild: rash
– Severe: anaphylaxis & death
• There is cross-reactivity among all
Penicillins
• Penicillins and cephalosporins ~5-15%
Resistance to ß-Lactams
•ß-Lactamase
•Other mechanisms are of less importance
•Augmentin  Amoxicillin
clavulanate
Important PointsImportant Points
• Beta lactams need frequent dosing for
successful therapeutic outcome
– Missing doses will lead to treatment failure
• Beta lactams are the safest antibiotics in
renal and hepatic failure
– Adjustments to dose may still be required in
severe failure
Summary
• Cell wall antibiotics
– Bactericidal
• Wide spectrum of use
– Antibiotics of choice in many infections
– Limitations
• Allergy
• Resistance due to betalactamase
• Very safe in most cases
– No monitoring required
Aminoglycosides
Inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by irreversibly binding to
30S ribosomal unit
•Naturally occurring:
•Streptomycin
•Neomycin
•Kanamycin
•Tobramycin
•Gentamicin
•Semisynthetic derivatives:
•Amikacin (from Kanamycin)
•Netilmicin (from Sisomicin)
30S Ribosomal Unit Blockage by
Aminoglycosides
•Causes mRNA decoding errors
Spectrum of Activity
• Gram-Negative Aerobes
–Enterobacteriaceae;
E. coli, Proteus sp., Enterobacter sp.
–Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Gram-Positive Aerobes (Usually in
combination with ß-lactams)
S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci
Viridans streptococci
Enterococcus sp. (gentamicin)
Adverse Effects
• Nephrotoxicity
– Direct proximal tubular damage - reversible if caught early
– Risk factors: High troughs, prolonged duration of therapy,
underlying renal dysfunction, concomitant nephrotoxins
• Ototoxicity
– 8th cranial nerve damage – irreversible vestibular and
auditory toxicity
• Vestibular: dizziness, vertigo, ataxia
• Auditory: tinnitus, decreased hearing
– Risk factors: as for nephrotoxicity
• Neuromuscular paralysis
– Can occur after rapid IV infusion especially with;
• Myasthenia gravis
• Concurrent use of succinylcholine during anaesthesia
Prevention of Toxicity
a) Levels need to be monitored to prevent
toxicity due to high serum levels
b) To be avoided where risk factors for
renal damage exist
1) Dehydration
2) Renal toxic drugs
Mechanisms of Resistance
• Inactivation by Aminoglycoside
modifying enzymes
– This is the most important mechanism
Important PointsImportant Points
• Aminoglycosides should be given as a large single dose
for a successful therapeutic outcome
– Multiple small doses will lead to treatment failure and likely
to lead to renal toxicity
• Aminoglycosides are toxic drugs and require monitoring
– Avoid use in renal failure but safe in liver failure
– Avoid concomitant use with other renal toxic drugs
– Check renal clearance, frequency according to renal
function
Summary
• Restricted to aerobes
• Toxic, needs level monitoring
• Best used in Gram negative bloodstream
infections
• Good for UTIs
• Limited or no penetration
– Lungs

Key Message 2Key Message 2
• When selecting an antibiotic consider the
following;
– Where is the infection?
– Which antibiotics will reach the site of
infection
• Match the two and select your antibiotic
Key Message 3Key Message 3
• Always check the impact of an antibiotic
on other drugs that a patient is on
– Consult BNF or equivalent

Antibiotics classification ppt

  • 2. Objectives • By the end of this lecture you should be able to: 1) Classify commonly used antibiotics into six major antibiotic classes of; a) Beta lactams b) Aminoglycosides c) Fluoroquinolones d) Macrolides e) Tetracyclines f) Glycopeptides g) Metronidazole 2) Understand the mechanism of action of each antibiotic class. 3) Understand clinical use of each class of antibiotic 4) Possible major side effects.
  • 3. There are Three in this RelationshipThere are Three in this Relationship Drug Bacteria Resistance Pharm acodynam ics (PD) Infection Host defence Toxicity Pharm acokinetics (PK) Host
  • 4. Antibiotics Actions Bactericidal Kills bacteria, reduces bacterial load Bacteriostatic Inhibit growth and reproduction of bacteria All antibiotics require the immune system to work properly Bactericidal appropriate in poor immunity Bacteriostatic require intact immune system
  • 5.
  • 7. ß-Lactams ß-Lactams Penicillin Narrow Spectrum •Benzylpenicillin (Penicillin G) •Phenoxymethylpenicillin (Pen V) •Flucloxacillin Broad Spectrum •Amoxicillin/Co-amoxiclav •Ampicillin •Piperacillin with Tazobactam (Tazocin) Cephalosporin •Cefalexin •Cefuroxime •Cefotaxime •Ceftriaxone Carbapenem •Meropenem •Imipenem •Doripenem •Ertapenem
  • 8. Mechanisms of Action • Anti Cell Wall Activity • Bactericidal
  • 9. Beta Lactams Against Bacterial Cell Wall Cell wall Osmotic Pressure Antibiotic against cell wall Osmotic Pressure Cell membrane Rupture Cell Membrane
  • 10. Spectrum of Activity • Very wide • Gram positive and negative bacteria • Anaerobes • Spirochetes • Spectrum of activity depends on the agent and/or its group
  • 11. Adverse Effects Penicillin hypersensitivity – 0.4% to 10 % – Mild: rash – Severe: anaphylaxis & death • There is cross-reactivity among all Penicillins • Penicillins and cephalosporins ~5-15%
  • 12. Resistance to ß-Lactams •ß-Lactamase •Other mechanisms are of less importance •Augmentin  Amoxicillin clavulanate
  • 13. Important PointsImportant Points • Beta lactams need frequent dosing for successful therapeutic outcome – Missing doses will lead to treatment failure • Beta lactams are the safest antibiotics in renal and hepatic failure – Adjustments to dose may still be required in severe failure
  • 14. Summary • Cell wall antibiotics – Bactericidal • Wide spectrum of use – Antibiotics of choice in many infections – Limitations • Allergy • Resistance due to betalactamase • Very safe in most cases – No monitoring required
  • 15. Aminoglycosides Inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by irreversibly binding to 30S ribosomal unit •Naturally occurring: •Streptomycin •Neomycin •Kanamycin •Tobramycin •Gentamicin •Semisynthetic derivatives: •Amikacin (from Kanamycin) •Netilmicin (from Sisomicin)
  • 16. 30S Ribosomal Unit Blockage by Aminoglycosides •Causes mRNA decoding errors
  • 17. Spectrum of Activity • Gram-Negative Aerobes –Enterobacteriaceae; E. coli, Proteus sp., Enterobacter sp. –Pseudomonas aeruginosa • Gram-Positive Aerobes (Usually in combination with ß-lactams) S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci Viridans streptococci Enterococcus sp. (gentamicin)
  • 18. Adverse Effects • Nephrotoxicity – Direct proximal tubular damage - reversible if caught early – Risk factors: High troughs, prolonged duration of therapy, underlying renal dysfunction, concomitant nephrotoxins • Ototoxicity – 8th cranial nerve damage – irreversible vestibular and auditory toxicity • Vestibular: dizziness, vertigo, ataxia • Auditory: tinnitus, decreased hearing – Risk factors: as for nephrotoxicity • Neuromuscular paralysis – Can occur after rapid IV infusion especially with; • Myasthenia gravis • Concurrent use of succinylcholine during anaesthesia
  • 19. Prevention of Toxicity a) Levels need to be monitored to prevent toxicity due to high serum levels b) To be avoided where risk factors for renal damage exist 1) Dehydration 2) Renal toxic drugs
  • 20. Mechanisms of Resistance • Inactivation by Aminoglycoside modifying enzymes – This is the most important mechanism
  • 21. Important PointsImportant Points • Aminoglycosides should be given as a large single dose for a successful therapeutic outcome – Multiple small doses will lead to treatment failure and likely to lead to renal toxicity • Aminoglycosides are toxic drugs and require monitoring – Avoid use in renal failure but safe in liver failure – Avoid concomitant use with other renal toxic drugs – Check renal clearance, frequency according to renal function
  • 22. Summary • Restricted to aerobes • Toxic, needs level monitoring • Best used in Gram negative bloodstream infections • Good for UTIs • Limited or no penetration – Lungs – Joints and bone – CSF – Abscesses
  • 25. Mechanism of Action • Bacteriostatic- usually • Inhibit bacterial RNA-dependent protein synthesis –Bind reversibly to the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S ribosomal subunits • Block translocation reaction of the polypeptide chain elongation
