Identification of the pathogen
Collection of infected material before beginning antimicrobial therapy
1. Stains—Gram or acid-fast (which is already done)2. Serologies 3. Culture and sensitivity 4. Thin layer smears
Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of antimicrobial that prevents visible growth of microbes
![Page 26: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813a9e550346895da29a0b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Other factors for selection of therapy
HOST FACTORS• Allergy• Age• Pregnancy• Metabolic abnormalities• Organ dysfunction• Concomitant use of drugs• Comorbid disease states
![Page 27: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813a9e550346895da29a0b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Selecting a Drug: Drug Factors
a. Resistance to drug ( ceftazidime)b. Pharmacokinetic & Pharmacodynamic factors
i. Concentration-dependent killing & post antibiotic effecte.g. Aminoglycosides, Fluoroquinolones
ii. Time-dependent killinge.g. β-lactum, vancomycin,macrolides, linezolid
![Page 28: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813a9e550346895da29a0b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Post-Antibiotic Effect / Loading Dose
• The Post-Antibiotic Effect (PAE) shows the capacity of an antimicrobial drug to inhibit the growth of bacteria after removal of the drug from the culture.
• The PAE provides additional time for the immune system to remove bacteria that might have survived antibiotic treatment before they can eventually regrow after removal of the drug.

Pharmacodynamics
• Pharmacodynamic profile: A quantitative relationship
• 3 pharmacodynamic parameters quantify relation b/w in vitro susceptibility, time course of dg. concentration & response of microbes
• Ratio of the area under curve for plasma conc. Vs time curve to MIC
• T>MIC: plasma concentration during dosing interval exceeds min. inhibitory conc.
• C max / MIC: Ratio of maximum or peak drug concentration (C max) to MIC

Mechanisms for acquired resistance
• A mutation in a relevant gene occur as a random selection under the pressure exerted by antibiotic; trait can be passed vertically to daughter cells
• Transfer of an extrachromosomal DNA carrier (plasmid), is the most common of acquired resistance; Transfer can occur via
• Transduction
• Transformation
• Conjugation

CASEA 65-yr old man, had undergone an emergency abdominal operation in which part of his bowel was resected. He was intubated throughout the postoperative period. During the 3rd week of his hospitalization he became confused and anxious; his blood pressure recorded as 70/30 mm/Hg and HR as 110 /min. His temp. was 40 C and his respiratory rate was 24 / min. Suction of the endotracheal tube reveals copious yellow green secretions. Cold extremities and circumoral pallor were prominent on general examination. On examination of respiratory system, ronchi with decreased breath sounds were heard on auscultation. His heart and abdomen was normal. Erythema (redness and swelling) was noted around IV lines. Chest radiograph revealed bilateral lower lobe infiltrates. Urine analysis revealed WBC count 20. Other important findings in reports included BUN= 56 mg/dl (N=8-18), WBC= 15000/ mm3 with bands present, blood sugar was 210 mg/dl. Blood, urine and tracheal aspirate cultures were pending.
