Antimicrobial Drugs
• Chemotherapy: Use of chemicals that do not harm the host yet kills others.
• Chemotherapeutic agent: substance that is used in medicine.
• Antimicrobial agents: Chemicals used to treat diseases caused by microbes.

• Antibiotics: Produced by microbes to inhibit others
• Synthetic drugs: Antimicrobials made in the lab
• Semi Synthetic: synthetic or natural that is modified in the lab.

History of Antibiotics
• Paul Ehrlich- Sulfa that stains bacteria may be able to inhibit it as well. Predicted the rise of antimicrobials

• 1928 Fleming makes his observation
• 1940’s production of penicillin
• In order to keep up with microbial resistance we must continually discover new antibiotics, but this is getting harder to do

• 1928 – Fleming discovered penicillin, produced by Penicillium.
• 1940 – Howard Florey and Ernst Chain performed first clinical trials of penicillin.

General Properties of antimicrobials
• Selective toxicity: Kills microbes not host• Has a spectrum of activity
– Broad– Narrow– Which is better? – Why?

Side Effects
• Toxicity in host• Allergy in host• Disruption of normal microbiota• Birth defects in pregnancy
![Page 17: Antimicrobial Drugs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815bde550346895dc9ceef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Resistance of microbes
• When microbes no longer respond to an antibiotic
• Resistance is acquired by– Non genetic means, basically evasion, grow in
an area not exposed to antibiotic• Tuberculosis
– Genetic resistance• A change in the chromosome or gain of a plasmid.
![Page 18: Antimicrobial Drugs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815bde550346895dc9ceef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• A variety of mutations can lead to antibiotic resistance.
• Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance1. Enzymatic destruction of drug2. Prevention of penetration of drug3. Alteration of drug's target site4. Rapid ejection of the drug
• Resistance genes are often on plasmids or transposons that can be transferred between bacteria.
Antibiotic Resistance

• We humans will always have to find or create new antibiotics as microbes become resistant
