2ANTIMICROBIAL DRUG RESISTANCE

1. The first anti-microbial drug was discovered in 1929 : Penicillin

2. The last true antibiotic was discovered in 1960s

3. Today, there are only 7 antibiotic scaffolds. All the so-called recent “discoveries” are based on manipulating the existing scaffolds. This encourages multi-drug resistance very rapidly

3ANTIMICROBIAL DRUG RESISTANCE

Antimicrobial drugs need to enter the bacterium to

be able to kill the bacterium or stop it from

replicating

Mode of action #1

4ANTIMICROBIAL DRUG RESISTANCE

Mode of action #2

Antimicrobial drugs need to breakthrough the

biofilm that protects the bacteria
