C. Bacterial resistance 1. Types of resistance • Intrinsic resistance(固有耐药) – Inherent features, usually expressed by chromosomal genes • Acquired resistance (获得耐药) – emerge from previously sensitive bacterial populations – caused by mutations in chromosomal genes – or by acquisition of plasmids or transposons
2. Resistance mechanisms • Enzymatic inactivation • Modification of target sites • Reduced permeability • Active efflux system
(1) Enzymatic inactivation • Examples: -lactamase; aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes
(2) Modification of target sites • Mutation of the natural target (quinolone resistance) • Substitution with a resistant alternative to the native, susceptible target (methicillin resistance) • Target modification(ribosomal protection type of resistance to macrolides and tetracyclines) • Increase of the targets
(3) Reduced permeability • Absence, mutation or loss of the appropriate transporteror porins(膜孔蛋白) (4) Active efflux system(主动外排系统) • Tripartite efflux system (三联外排系统):efflux transporter; accessory protein; outer membrane channel— Gram-negative
3. The transfer of resistance genes • Mutations 突变 • Transduction 转导 • Transformation 转化 • Conjugation 接合
Basic principles 1. Formulating a pathogenic diagnosis early, which depends on clinical diagnosis, microbiologic diagnosis and testing results in vitro. 2. Choiceness of antimicrobial agents depends on the properties of the drugs. 3. Choiceness of antimicrobial agents depends on patient factors. 4. The uses of antimicrobial agents is strictly controlled in some situations.
1. Formulating a pathogenic diagnosis early • Empiric Therapy • Vast majority of all antimicrobial therapy • Should be approached rationally • Syndrome • Likely pathogens • Known resistance patterns • Host factors
Identification of infecting organisms • Staining of clinical specimens • Gram stain, acid-fast stain, silver stains… • Antigen detection (e.g. ELISA, latex agglutination) • Nucleic acid detection (e.g. PCR) • Culture methods • Obtain culture material prior to antimicrobial therapy, if possible
2. Choiceness of antimicrobial agents depends on the properties of the drugs A. Kinetics of absorption, distribution, and elimination B. Bacteriostatic vs bactericidal activity: concentration-dependent killing (eg. aminoglycosides and quinolones) and time-dependent killing (eg. b-lactams and vancomycin) C. The potential toxicity of an agent D. Pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic or pharmaceutical interaction with other drugs.
3. Choiceness of antimicrobial agents depends on patient factors • Site of infection • The age and pregnancy status • Hepatic or renal function • The functional state of host defense mechanism • Individual variation
Patientfactors • Site of infection • Adequate concentrations of antimicrobials must be delivered to the site of infection • Local concentrations greater than MIC • Subinhibitory concentrations may still alter bacterial adherence, morphology, aid in phagocytosis and killing • Serum concentration easy to determine, tissue concentrations more difficult to assess • Protein binding of drugs
Excretion • Urine • Aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones • Bile • Ceftriaxone • Penetration into various sites • Central nervous system • Lung • Bone • Foreign bodies
Age • Gastric acidity low in young children and elderly • Renal & hepatic function vary with age • Dose adjustment for creatinine clearance and hepatic dysfunction is critical to avoid toxicities • Developing bone and teeth • Tetracyclines stain teeth • Quinolones may impair bone and cartilage growth • Sensitive to ototoxicity
Genetic and metabolic abnormalities • Isoniazid acetylation varies greatly • G-6-PD deficiency and risk of hemolysis • Sulfonamides, nitrofurantoin, primaquine • Pregnancy • Teratogenicity and other toxicity to the fetus • Other toxic reactions (lactic acidosis, pancreatitis) • Excretion in breast milk • Immunocompromise
4. The uses of antimicrobial agents is strictly controlled in some situations The uses of antimicrobial agents is strictly controlled in: • Viral infections • Fever caused by unidentified reasons • Topical applications • Antimicrobial prophylaxis • Combined uses of antimicrobial drugs
Prophylaxis use of antimicrobials • Non-surgical prophylaxis (1) Rheumatic fever (风湿热) (2) Meningococcal infection (3) Tuberculosis (4) Newborn ophthalmia (新生儿眼炎) (5) Urinary tract infections
Surgical prophylaxis National research council Expected infection wound classification criteria rate Clean ≤2% Clean contaminated ≤10% Contaminated about 20% Dirty about 40%
Surgical prophylaxis (1) Cardiac operation (2) Oral, head, neck, thoracic operation (3) Vascular (abdominal and lower extremity) operation (4) Arthritic or bone fracture operation (5) Gastroduodenal or biliary operation (6) Colorectal operation, appendectomy(阑尾切除术) (7) Penetrating trauma, complex trauma (8) Uterectomy (子宫切除术), uterine-incision delivery (剖宫产) (9) Severe burn wound (10) Orthopedic (整形) operation (with hardware insertion)
Therapeutic use of antimicrobials (1) Diagnosis for choice of effective drugs (2) Severity of infections (3) Optimal doses, routes and duration (4) Sensitivity of bacteria to drugs (5) Consideration of host situations
Combined use of antimicrobials According to their actions, antimicrobial agents can be classified: (1) bactericidal agents for growing bacteria (eg. –lactams) (2) bactericidal agents for resting bacteria (eg. aminoglycosides, quinolones) (3) fast bacteriostatic agents (eg. macrolides, tetracycline, chloramphenicol) (4) slow bacteriostatic agents (eg. sulfonamides) (1) + (2): synergism (1) + (3): antagonism (1) + (4): addition or indifference (3) + (4): addition
Mechanism of synergistic action (1) Blockade of sequential steps in a metabolic sequence (2) Inhibition of enzymatic inactivation (3) Enhancement of antimicrobial agent uptake (4) Inhibition of different resistant strain respectively
Combined use of antimicrobials • Indications – when ineffective with single drug (1) Pathogens unknown (2) Mixed polymicrobial infections (3) Severe infections (4) Prevent emergence of resistance(long-term) Combination therapy Mycobacterium tuberculosis HIV Pseudomonas aeruginosa Invasive aspergillosis(曲霉病)
Use of antimicrobial drugs in patients with hepatic impairment No suitable markers are available for hepatic function. So, drug use in patients with liver disease must take into account 3 general principles: (1) Pharmacokinetics are modified. (2) Drugs may modify the functional status of the liver. (3) Pharmacodynamics may be modified.
