Principles of Antimicrobial
Therapy
• Effective in the treatment of infections ( selective toxicity)
• Ability to kill microorganism without harming the cells of the host

Susceptibility of the body to infection
• 1. Age• 2. Exposure to pathologic organisms• 3. Disruption of the body’s normal
barrier to infection• 4. Impaired Immune system• 5. Impaired circulation• 6. Poor nutritional status
![Page 7: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Selection of Antimicrobial
Agents:• Organism’s identity and its sensitivity• Site of infection• Age of the patient• Pregnancy / Lactation• Safety of the agent• Patient factors• Cost of therapy
![Page 8: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Empiric Therapy
• immediate administration of drug/s covering by both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms
![Page 9: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Empiric Therapy • A. Empiric therapy prior to organism identification• - The acutely ill patient• - Selecting a drug – site of infection and patient history
• B. Identification and sensitivity of the organism• - Gram stain• - Culture• - Microscopic examination• - Sensitivity testing
• C. Laboratory methods of identification• - Disk-diffusion
![Page 10: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Empiric TherapyA. Status of the Patient
• 1.Immune system• - Alcoholism, DM HIV, malnutrition,
advanced age and immunosuppressive drugs
• 2.Renal dysfunction• - Poor kidney function 10% or less of normal• Serum creatinine
![Page 12: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Empiric Therapy• Status of the Patient
• 3.Hepatic dysfunction• - Erythromycin and tetracycline

anatomic area
![Page 13: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Empiric Therapy• 5. Pregnancy
• ALL ANTIBIOTICS CROSS THE PLACENTA• Adverse effect are rare • Tooth dysplasia and inhibition of bone growth
(tetracycline)• Antihelmintics – embryotoxic and teratogenic• Aminoglycosides – ototoxic• Streptomycin – auditory nerve damage
![Page 14: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Empiric Therapy• 6. Lactation• drugs administered to a lactating mother may
enter the nursing infant via the breast milk
• 7. Age• Renal and hepatic elimination ( Newborns)• Chloramphenicol and sulfonamides• Tetracycline – bone growth• Fluoroquinolones – cartilage growth
![Page 15: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Empiric Therapy• 8. Safety of the Agent• Penicillin the least toxic of all drugs
• SAFETY IS RELATED NOT ONLY TO THE INHERENT NATURE OF THE DRUG BUT ALSO TO PATIENTS FACTORS THAT CAN PREDISPOSE TO TOXICITY
• • G. Cost of Therapy
![Page 16: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bacteriostatic drugs
- arrest the growth and replication of bacteria at serum levels achievable in the patient, thus limiting the spread of infection while the body’s immune system attacks, immobilizes, and eliminates the pathogen
- tetracyclines, erythromycin, lincomycin
![Page 17: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bactericidal drugs • kills the bacteria and the total number of
viable organisms decreases
• e.g. Chloramphenicol – static for gram negative and cidal against Pneumococci
• Cephalosporins, Polymyxin, vancomycin
![Page 18: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Chemotherapeutic Spectra
• refers to the species of organisms affected by certain drug
• 1. Narrow spectrum – single or a limited group of microorganisms
• E.g Isoniazid
![Page 19: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chemotherapeutic Spectra
• b. Extended Spectrum – antibiotics that are effective against
gram-positive and gram-negative
• E.g. Ampicillin
![Page 20: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chemotherapeutic Spectra
• 3. Broad Spectrum – wide coverage, drastically alter the
nature of the normal bacterial flora and can precipitate a superinfection of the organism (Candida)
• E.g. Tetracycline and Chloramphenicol
![Page 21: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Combinations of Antimicrobial Drugs
• 1. Advantages of drug combinations• - B-lactams and aminoglycosides
• 2. Disadvantages of drug combinations• - A number of antibiotics act only when
organisms are growing. Concomitant administration of a second agent is usually bacteriostasis and may interfere with the action of the first drug that is bactericidal
![Page 22: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Drug Resistance• 1. Genetic alterations leading to drug
resistance• -Spontaneous mutation of DNA• - DNA transfer of drug resistance
• 2. Altered expression of proteins in drug-resistant organisms
• - Modification of target sites• - Decreased accumulation• - Enzymatic inactivation
![Page 23: Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy Part 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081413/5467a0ecb4af9f5d3f8b58c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
