INTRODUCTION
• An antibiotic is a word derived from the
Ancient Greek meaning:
(anti, i.e., "against", and bios, i.e., "life")
• DEFINITION:
SUBSTANCES PRODUCED BY MICROORGANISMS, WHICH SUPPRESS THE GROWTH OF OR KILL OTHER MICROORGANISMS AT VERY LOW CONCENTRATIONS
HISTORY
Louis Pasteur was one of the first physician who observed that bacteria kill other bacteria.
Penicillin, the first natural antibiotic discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928.
Chain and Florey followed up this observation in 1939 which culminated the use of Penicillin in clinical use in 1941.
CLASSIFICATION
• ON THE BASIS OF PREPARATION:
- NATURALLY OCCURRING : PENICILLIN , CEPHALOSPORIN, ERYTHROMYCIN.
- SYNTHETIC: SULFONAMIDES
• ON THE BASIS OF FAMILY:
- PENICILLIN
- CEPHALOSPORIN
- SULFONAMIDES
- TETRACYCLINE
- AMINOGLYCOSIDES : GENTAMICIN , NEOMYCIN, STREPTOMYCIN
- MACROLIDES: CLARITHROMYCIN, ERYTHROMYCIN, AZITHROMYCIN
- QUINOLONES: CIPROFLOXACIN , NORFLOXACIN
On the basis of spectrum of activity: - Narrow: Penicillin, Streptomycin - Broad: Ampicillin,Tetracycline,Chloramphenicol
On the basis of effect: - Bacteriostatic: Erythromycin , Tetracycline, Sulfonamides - Bactericidal: Penicillin, Cephalosporin
On the basis of antibiotics obtained from: - Fungi: Penicillin , Cephalosporin - Bacteria : Bacitracin, Polymixin B - Actinomycetes : Aminoglycoside, Chloramphenicol, tetracycline
INDICATIONS• Treatment of established infections;
• infections that persists inspite of local measures• where there is signs of systemic involvement eg.submandibular
lymphadenopathy and fever• when surgical access is difficult e.g severe trismus• when there is a diffuse , spreading infection eg.facial cellulitis
• Prophylaxis against infections:• Immunocompromised patient• Surgical procedures with a high likelihood of infections
» Maxillofacial trauma » Major or difficult surgery » When the consequences of infections are serious » Infective endocarditis» Orthopaedic joint prosthesis
Before antibiotic prescription one should know,
1. Bacterial flora causing most odontogenic infections
2 .The basic mechanism of host defenses
3. The variety of contemporary antibiotics and principles to choose
Once the decision has been made to use antibiotics as an adjunct to treating infection the antibiotics should be properly selected following a set of principles…
PRINCIPLES FOR CHOOSING ANTIBIOTIC
1) IDENTIFICATION OF THE CAUSATIVE ORGANISM
2) DETERMINATION OF ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY
3) USE OF A SPECIFIC, NARROW-SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC
4) USE OF THE LEAST TOXIC ANTIBIOTIC
5) PATIENT DRUG HISTORY
6) USE OF A BACTERICIDAL RATHER THAN A BACTERIOSTATIC DRUG
7) USE OF THE ANTIBIOTIC WITH A PROVEN HISTORY OF SUCCESS
8) COST OF THE ANTIBIOTIC
9) ENCOURAGE PATIENT COMPLIANCE
Principles of antibiotic administration
•Proper dose (3-4×MIC)
•Proper time interval(4×t1/2)
•Proper route of administration•Consistency in route of administration •Combination in antibiotic therapy
Duration of action of antibioticsDepends on t1/2Uaual dose interval =4×t1/2As at 5t1/2 95%of drugs has been excretedEg. t1/2 for cephazolin 2 hours ,dose interval =8 hrs
Half life of some antibioticsPenicillin=30 minMetronidzole=8 hrsTetracycline=6-10 hrs(given qid)Doxycycline=18- 24 hrs(given od)
RATIONALE• To have an additive synergistic effect.
• In mixed infections when bacteria are sensitive to different drugs.
• To achieve delay in development of resistance.
• To decrease the incidence of adverse reactions to an individual drug , another drug is added so that the doses of individual drug can be reduced and possible toxic effects can be avoided
• To reduce the cost of therapy
COMBINATION ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY
Indications: when its necessary to increase the spectrum ,e.g. life
threatening sepsis of unknown cause
when increased bactericidal effect against a specific organism is desired e.g.. infection caused by group d streptococcus –penicillin and aminoglycosides is given
prevention of rapid emergence of resistance
rapidly progressive odontogenic infection e.g.. Severe cellulitis rapidly progressing posteriorly around retro pharyngeal space, bactericidal activity against Streptococcus and oral anaerobes is important ;
rational approach to treatment would be penicillin G AND metronidazole
Disadvantage of combination therapy
- Increased incidence and variety of adverse effects.
- Increased chances of super infections.
- Emergence of resistance.
- Increased cost of therapy
ANTIBIOTIC AS PROPHYLAXIS
• Use of AMA(Antimirobial) for preventing the setting in
of an infection or suppressing contacted infection
before it becomes clinically manifest.
1. Prophylaxis against specific microorganisms• Rheumatic fever- group. A Streptococci-long acting
Penicillin G• HIV infection- zidovudine+lamivudine+indinavir
(needle stick injury)2. Prevention of infection in high risk situations3. Prevention of infection in general

USEInfections caused by staphylococci and streptococci.
Surgical and endocarditis prophylaxis
Osteomyelitis
ADRHypersensitivity reactionNephrotoxicityNeutropenia Thrombocytopenia
TETRACYCLINES
• MECHANISM OF ACTION: Inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 30s ribosomes
• Bacteriostatic
• They are effective in treating periodontal diseases because their concentration in the gingival crevice is 2-10 times that in serum
• Besides they exert an anticollagenase effect that can inhibit tissue destruction and may aid bone regeneration

(inhibits the growth of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans)
- Refractory periodontitis
- Actinomycosis
- Juvenile periodontitis
- Chronic periodontal disease
- Desquamative gingivitis
- vomiting, diarrhoea
-Renal toxicity
-Phototoxicity
-Hypersensitivity
-Superinfection
-Tooth discoloration
-Temporary suppression of bone growth
-Furry darkening or blackish discoloration
of tongue
ADR
Minocyclin
e
•Used in adult periodontitis•Dose: 200 mg initially,then,100-200 mgOD•Half life =16 to 24 hrs
• Doxycycline:
• - Subantimicrobial dose i.e.,20 mg is used in host modulation therapy for 3-9 months.
• - Indicated when topical and intralesional therapy is not successful in controlling desquamative gingivitis.
•
• Doxycycline hyclate(20 mg capsule) is used as a subantimicrobial dose for:
- suppression of collagenase activity,esp. that produced by the PMN leucocytes, matrix metalloproteinase and osteoclastic resorption,
CAUSING - decreased tissue destruction HENCE HELPING IN - bone regeneration
• No antimicrobial effects because 20 mg BD is too low dose to affect the bacteria.
AMINOGLYCOSIDES• Systemic-Streptomycin,Gentamicin,Kanamycin,Amikacin
• Topical-Neomycin,Framycein
Mechanism of action : Binds at several sites at 30s and 50s as well as their juncture and inhibits protein synthesis

Ototoxicity
Nephrotoxicity
Neuromuscular blocked
MACROLIDES
• MECHANISM OF ACTION:
-inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50s ribosomes and interfering with translocation.

n
• Generic name- Azithromycin
• Brand name- AZITHRAL, AZIWOK
• Indications- Bacterial infection
• Administration-Capsule
• Dosage- 500mg 1 day, then 250 mg for 2-5 day
• Common side effects-Rash, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea
erythromyci
n
• active against gram +ve and a few gram –ve bacteria.
• It is widely distributed in the body, enters cells and into abscesses, crosses serous membranes and placenta but not the blood brain barrier.
• It is used in patients with refractory periodontitis and as a prophylaxis against endocarditis.
• It causes mild epigastric pain, diarrhoea and allergic reactions.
• It is contraindicated in hypersensitivity.
• Dose: 250-500 mg 8 hourly.
clarith
romycin
• Mechanism is similar to that of erythromycin.
• It is more active against gram positive cocci and anaerobes (Actinomyces, Lactobacillus).
• First line of drugs in combination regimens for Mycobacterium Avium Complex infection.
• Other uses and properties are similar to that of erythromycin.
Mechanism of action :
• Clindamycin has a bacteriostatic effect. It is a bacterial protein synthesis inhibitor by inhibiting ribosomal translocation.
• It does so by binding to the 50S rRNA of the large bacterial ribosome subunit.
NOTE: It readily enters hard and soft tissues because of its relatively small molecular
size( greater bone permeability)

Abstract The efficacy of 3-day treatment with a combined clavulanate/amoxicillin preparation (Clavamox combination dry syrup for pediatric cases) and 10-day treatment with amoxicillin against pediatric pharyngolaryngitis and tonsillitis caused by Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus was compared. Among the patients included in the efficacy evaluation (54 from the clavulanate/ amoxicillin group and 43 from the amoxicillin group), the clinical response rate on completion of treatment was 98.1 % in the clavulanate/amoxicillin group and 92.9 % in the amoxicillin group, thus supporting the equivalent efficacy of these two therapies. The Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus eradication rate at approximately 1-2 weeks after completion/discontinuation of treatment was 65.4 % in the clavulanate/amoxicillin group and 85.4 % in the amoxicillin group. Even in cases from which the pathogen continued to be isolated, relapse/recurrence of clinical symptoms was seldom seen. Urinalysis, conducted to assess the presence or absence of acute glomerulonephritis, revealed no abnormality in any patient. These results suggest that 3-day treatment with this clavulanate/amoxicillin preparation is expected to provide a valid means of treating pediatric pharyngolaryngitis and tonsillitis caused by Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. 2012 Japanese Society of Chemotherapy and The Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases.
