AntibioticIs a chemical substance produced by a microorganism that inhibits the growth or kills other microorganisms
Antimicrobial agent Is a chemical substance derived from a biological source or produced by chemical synthesis that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms
Antibiotic

Sources of Antibiotics
• Natural - Mainly fungal sources Benzylpenicillin and Gentamicin are natural
antibiotics
• Semi-synthetic - Chemically-altered natural compound Ampicillin and Amikacin are semi-synthetic antibiotics
• Synthetic - Chemically designed in the lab Moxifloxacin and Norfloxacin are synthetic
antibiotics
• There is an inverse relationship between toxicity and effectiveness as you move from natural to synthetic antibiotics
![Page 4: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Role of Antibiotics
To inhibit multiplication
Antibiotics have bactericidal / bacteriostatic effect
Minimal Inhibitory Concentration = MIC
MIC = lowest concentration of antibiotic that inhibits growth
(Riviere 2009)
![Page 5: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Role of Antibiotics
• To destroy the bacterial population
• Minimal Bactericidal Concentration = MBC
• MBC = lowest concentration of antibiotic that kills bacteria
• Antibiotics have a bactericidal effect
(Riviere 2009)
![Page 6: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mechanisms of Action Antibiotics operate by inhibiting crucial
life sustaining processes in the organism: the synthesis of cell wall material ,DNA, RNA, ribosome's and proteins.
Target The target of the antibiotic should be
selective to minimize toxicity for host but all antibiotics are toxic to some degree
(Riviere 2009)
![Page 7: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ideal Antibiotics
Selective target – target unique Narrow spectrum – does not kill normal flora
High therapeutic index – ratio of toxic level to therapeutic level
Few adverse reactions – toxicity, allergy
Various routes of administration – IV, IM, oral Good absorption from site of injection
Good distribution to site of infection Emergence of resistance is slow ( Goodman
& Gilman's 2006)
![Page 8: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
(A) Based on spectrum of activity Narrow spectrum Active against either gram-negative or
gram-positive bacteria e.g. penicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin
Broad-spectrum Active against both gram-positive and
gram-negative bacteria e.g. tetracycline & chloramphenicol
(Riviere 2009)
Classification of antibiotics
![Page 9: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
(B)Based on effects of AB
(a)Bacteriostatics inhibit bacterial growth.
The body requires an effective innate and acquired immune system in the case of bacteriostatic antibiotics.
For immuno-compromised patients bacteriostatic antibiotics usually not effective.
Antimetabolites and inhibitors of protein synthesis (except aminoglycoside antibiotics) are usually bacteriostatic
(Riviere 2009)
![Page 10: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
(b) Bactericidal
Antibiotic kills bacteria.
Inhibitors of cell wall synthesis and agents affecting cell membrane permeability are bactericidal
(Riviere 2009)
![Page 11: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
(C) Based on mode of action
A. Antibacterial agents that inhibit the cell wall synthesis
B. Antibacterial agents that alter the function of the cytoplasmic membrane
C. Antibacterial agents that inhibit the protein synthesis
D. Antibacterials that inhibit the nucleic acid synthesis
( Goodman & Gilman's 2006)
![Page 12: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Cause misreading of mRNA code and affect permeability e.g. streptomycin & gentamicin
2. Inhibit DNA gyrase e.g. fluoroquinolones
3. Interfere with DNA function e.g. Rifampin
4. Interfere with DNA synthesis e.g. acyclovir

Antiviral antibiotics- inhibit viral mRNA polymerase and interfere viral protein and maturation e.g. Rifampin
interfere viral protein synthesis e.g. Mytomycin, Puromycin
Antineoplastic – prevent RNA
transcription and protein synthesis e.g. actinomycin-D
inhibition of RNA & DNA synthesis e.g. Doxorubincin, Daunorubicin
( Riviere 2009)
![Page 17: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Advantages Easily available, cheap and least toxic Easily distributed in body tissues and fluids
least untoward reaction If used properly drugs resistant does not
developed
Antibiotics have saved countless lives Broad-spectrum antibiotics which work
equally well on bacteria and fungus
Each antibiotic is effective only for some types of disease
Right antibiotic cures the disease in the shortest span of time

1. ß-LACTAM ANTIBIOTICS
Kidneys/bladder/genitourinary tract → exceed MIC (Rock, 2007; Bill, 2006)
CNS infections (Vaden , 2001)
![Page 31: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
PENICILLINS
• Penicillin G (natural); ampicillin, amoxycillin (aminopenicillins; broad-spectrum ); cloxacillin (penicillinase-resistant; narrow-spectrum), carbenicillin, ticarcillin (extended-spectrum)
• Procaine penicillin G (1 day) and benzathine penicillin G (7 days): not IV → affect cardiac conduction system
(Vaden , 2001)
• Aminopenicillins: empty stomach (Bill, 2006)
Eye/brain/prostate/intracellular bacteria (Bill, 2006; Vaden, 2001)
Resistant: Pseudomonas, Staphylococci; cross-resistance
![Page 32: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cloxacillin: staphylococcal infections (Bill, 2006) Add clavulanic acid and sulbactam → potentiated compound Kidneys/liver/lung (Rock, 2007)
• Hypersensitivity reactions most common ADR → record; mild skin rash to life-threatening anaphylactic shock; injectable > oral; emergency treatment (epinephrine + corticosteroids); cross-reactivity (Rock, 2007; Bill, 2006)
• Hydrolysis → degradation (main) (Vaden , 2001)
• Clavulanate packaged individually in foil → absorbs moisture
(Bill, 2006)
![Page 33: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
CEPHALOSPORINS
• 4 generations: ↑ → ↓G+; ↑ G- (Bill, 2006)
• Cephadroxil, cephalexin, cefpodoxime (PO), cefotaxime & ceftazidime
• Stable in solutions for short time, unless frozen
• False + reaction: glucosuria and proteinuria (Vaden , 2001)
• Reactions: much less (Bill, 2006)
![Page 34: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
2. AMINOGLYCOSIDES
• Neomycin (topical), amikacin (broadest spectrum) & gentamicin
(Riviere, 2001)
• ↓ cross-resistance (Bill, 2006)
• Usually administered parenterally (Riviere, 2001)
• t1/2 : 2-5 h; post antibiotic effect (PAE) (Bill, 2006)
Eye/brain/prostate/respiratory tract (Strausbaugh, 1983)
Cellular debris (pus) → flush thoroughly (Bill, 2006)
Anaerobic bacteria/conditions (Riviere, 2001)
Denuded skin/surgical sites → renal failure (Mealey, 1994)
![Page 35: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
DOC for serious G- infections (Riviere, 2001)
+ penicillin (Bill, 2006)
• ↑ toxicity potential; accumulate within kidneys (PCT) and inner ear by pinocytosis (active) → nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity (auditory: dogs; vestibular toxicity: cats) (Bill, 2006; Bennett, 1982)
• Monitoring renal function: urine sediment (casts or increased protein are early signs) & urine SG (not for cats)
(Bill, 2006; Grauer,1995)
• Hydrophilic → steep gradient for diffusion; OD → much safer (Freeman, 1997)
![Page 36: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3. FLUOROQUINOLONES
• Enrofloxacin, difloxacin, orbifloxacin and marbofloxacin • Broad-spectrum; aerobic bacteria (Papich, 2007)
• Well absorbed PO; not affected by food; reduced (90%) with ulcer treatment medication (Bill, 2006; Nix, 1989)
First-choice antibiotics (WHO, 1997)

Infections: prostate/skin/soft tissue/wounds/bone/ear/ respiratory & urinary tract (DeManuelle, 1999; Paradis, 1990)
↑ intracellular concentrations → ↑ concentrations in infected tissue e.g., pyoderma (WHO, 1997; Garaffo, 1991)
Pregnancy (Papich, 2001)
• Very safe drugs; but affect developing joint cartilage → not in young• Cats: retinal degeneration → enrofloxacin dose reduced to 5 mg/kg OD • ↑ seizure activity → avoid in epileptics (Papich, 2007; Bill, 2006)
![Page 38: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
4. TETRACYCLINES
• TC, OTC (hydrophilic) and minocycline/ doxycycline (lipophilic)
• Irritating: give PO or IV; slow IV or dilute (Riviere, 2001)
• PO preferred: chelation decreases absorption (Bill, 2006; Aronson, 1980)
• Distribution ~ lipid solubility (Riviere, 2001)
• TC/OTC → not metabolised; enterohepatic circulation; doxycycline largely excreted into the intestine
(Bill, 2006; Kunin, 1961)
• OTC: light-sensitive drug (Rock, 2007)
![Page 39: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Doxycycline/minocycline → eye/CNS/prostate/ intracellular bacteria/↓ renal function (Bill, 2006; Shaw, 1986)
• Yellow, mottled tooth discoloration; slow bone development (first few weeks) (Bill, 2006; Moffit, 1974)
• Dogs: irritation of GIT; cats less tolerant; ® doxycycline + food (Rock, 2007)
• Expired TC/OTC → nephrotoxic compound → Fanconi’s syndrome
(Bill, 2006)
![Page 40: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
5. SULPHONAMIDES/SULPHA DRUGS
• Sulphasalazine, sulphadiazine, sulphadimethoxine & sulphamethoxazole
• Many bacteria resistant (Bill, 2006)
• Potentiated sulphonamides → + TMP→ ↓ MIC of both drugs → ↓ SE, ↑ efficacy, bactericidal → OD/ BID (Rock, 2007; Bill, 2006)
Necrotic tissue (Rock, 2007)
Topical use: except silver sulphadiazine & mafenide (Spoo, 2001)
Serosal/synovial/ocular/CS fluid/prostate/respiratory & urinary tract
(Rock, 2007; Bill, 2006) Sulfasalazine → IBD → 70% in LI → sulfapyridine (sulphonamide) + 5-
aminosalycilic acid (local anti-inflammatory effect) (Rock, 2007)
![Page 41: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Dogs: decreased tear production (KCS, or “dry eye”) (Bill, 2006; Collins, 1986)
• Dog develops new CS → suspect ADR’s (notorious: 82%); Dobermanns predisposed; dermal reactions (drug eruptions); hypersensitivity: type III (Rock, 2007; Noli, 1995)
• Cats: PO: salivation
• Sulfasalazine: cautious in cats & aspirin hypersensitive animals
• Crystalluria (dehydration or acidic urine) → concern in small animals (Bill, 2006)
![Page 42: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Sulfonamide crystals are typically yellow in color
![Page 43: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

7. MACROLIDES
• Erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin & tylosin (Papich, 2007)• Spectrum ~ penicillin → substitutes (Bill, 2006)
• PO: preferred; food affects absorption (Kirst, 1989)
CSF (Wilson, 1984)
Acidic environment (Sabath, 1968)
Respiratory tract (Papich, 2001) Well distributed (prostate) (Bill, 2006)
• Inhibits cytochrome P-450; erythromycin ~ motilin (Papich, 2001; Lester, 1998)
• Vomiting/regurgitation → most common adverse effects
(Bill, 2006; Kunkle, 1995)
![Page 45: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
8. CHLORAMPHENICOL
• Broad spectrum (Papich, 2001; IARC, 1990)
Lactating animals (Papich, 2001)
Serious CNS infections (Rahal, 1979)
Well distributed (eye/CNS/prostate) → new agents (Bill, 2006; Hird, 1986)
• SE: myelosuppression (cats) → ↓ dose than dogs → ↓ liver metabolism + ↓ elimination; neonates (Bill, 2006)
• Inhibits cytochrome P-450; ↑ half lives e.g., pentobarbital (Adams, 1970) • Myelosuppression → avoid repeated contact or inhalation (Bill, 2006; Yunis, 1988)
![Page 46: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

a. RIGHT DRUG
• Necessary conditions: In vitro susceptibility: by CST/AST (Rock, 2007)
In vivo susceptibility Host tolerance (Bill, 2006)
• Other considerations: Cost, client compliance, ease of administration & convenient dosage interval
(Bill, 2006) Risks/ interactions: avoid compounding (never mix cationic & anionic drugs)
(Papich, 2007; Mir, 1998)
Impact of the disease process on drug pharmacokinetics (e.g., aminoglycosides) and pharmacodynamics (e.g., sulfonamides)
(Novotny 1993; Wilcke 1986)• Check name (Rock, 2007)

b. RIGHT DOSE
• Optimum concentrations at site of infection (Bill, 2006)
• Formula:
• Under doing (larger dogs) → more serious• Over dosing (cats) (Barragry, 1994)
No diuretics (Mir, 1998)
Check strength (Rock, 2007)

c. RIGHT PATIENT
• Neonatal & pediatric patients:Tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and fluoroquinolones (Novotny, 1993)
↓ hepatic biotransformation → avoid chloramphenicol (Short, 1984)
↑ Vd → ↑ dose (Novotny, 1993)
• Pregnancy: Basic drugs concentrate in fetal plasma (Novotny, 2001)
![Page 51: principals and therapeutics of antimicrobials](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554b3654b4c905ce088b530d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• Geriatric patients: Water-soluble drugs: ↓ Vd ↓ elimination (Ritschel, 1987)
• Liver failure: ß-lactams
Lincosamides, macrolides, sulfonamides, and chloramphenicol (Bunch, 1995; Tams, 1984)
• Renal failure: Aminoglycosides → same dose; ↑ interval (Bill, 2006; Polzin, 2000) Sulphonamides (prevent crystalluria) (Spoo, 2001)

d. RIGHT ROUTE
• PO: Giving a drink of water before administration
Enteric-coated formulations/capsules : do not break (Rock, 2007)
Empty stomach (Scherer, 1992)
Vomiting
Suspensions : SC or IM • Severe dehydration: ↓ SC absorption (Novotny, 2001)

e. RIGHT TIME
• Frequency: t1/2 = 2-3 h: time & concentration dependent (Bill, 2004)
• Time dependent drugs: 100% contact time → compromised IS; ≥ 50% contact time → working IS (Aucoin, 2002)
• Duration (Novotny, 2001)
