Antimicrobial Drug ResistancePrinciples and Definitions
Clinical resistance vs actual resistance Resistance can arise by mutation or by gene transfer (e.g.
acquisition of a plasmid) Resistance provides a selective advantage Resistance can result from single or multiple steps
Cross resistance vs multiple resistance› Cross resistance -- Single mechanism-- closely related
antibiotics› Multiple resistance -- Multiple mechanisms -- unrelated

Antibiotic Selection for Resistant Bacteria
![Page 8: Antimicrobial agents and mechanisms of action 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051413/554c9959b4c905c10d8b4d68/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Resistant organism MICs of organism are higher than achieved drug
concentrations in tissues
Intermediately resistant the antibiotic may still be effective but higher doses
should be used
Highly resistant the antibiotic tissue concentrations are likely not to
exceed MICs of the microorganisms

Resistance mechanisms: inactivating enzymes (2)
Degrading enzymes will bind to the antibiotic and essentially degrade itor make the antibiotic inactive
Blocking enzymes attach side chains to the antibiotic that inhibit its function.E.g. ß-lactamases
![Page 15: Antimicrobial agents and mechanisms of action 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051413/554c9959b4c905c10d8b4d68/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Aminoglycoside: mode of actionAG pass through cell wall, cytoplasmic membrane to cytoplasma (mainly of Gbacteria, no penetration through cytoplasmic membrane of strepto- and entrococci)
Bind irreversible to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes and block the attachment of the 50S subunit to the initiation complex
As a result production of aberrant proteins and misreading of RNA occurs
![Page 53: Antimicrobial agents and mechanisms of action 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051413/554c9959b4c905c10d8b4d68/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Minocyclin, doxycyclin are synthetic
Broad spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotics

The tetracyclines block bacterial translation by binding reversibly to the 30S subunit and distorting it in such a way that the anticodons of the charged tRNAs cannot align properly with the codons of the mRNA
Tetracyclines
![Page 57: Antimicrobial agents and mechanisms of action 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051413/554c9959b4c905c10d8b4d68/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Newest class of antibiotics; completely syntheticNarrow spectrum of activity (G+ bacteria, includingVRE, MRSA)
G-neg bacteria resistant due to efflux pump
Mode of action: unique mechanism among antibiotics; interferes with the initiation complex at the 50S ribosome subunit (V domain of 23S rRNA)
Resistance confers to mutation at 23S rRNA
Resistance is rare; cross-resistance unlikely because 23S rRNA is encoded by several genes
Oxazolidones: linezolid
![Page 58: Antimicrobial agents and mechanisms of action 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051413/554c9959b4c905c10d8b4d68/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Oxazolidones: mode of action
Inhibit the formation of an initiation complex by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit (domain V of the 23S rRNA), disrupting the preliminary phases of protein synthesis
![Page 59: Antimicrobial agents and mechanisms of action 2](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051413/554c9959b4c905c10d8b4d68/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Binds irreversible to peptidyl transferase component of 50S ribosome and blocks peptide elongation, thus interferes with protein synthesis
Bacteriostatic antibiotic with broad spectrum of antibacterial activity
Interferes with the protein synthesis of bone marrow cells causing aplastic anaemia
Limited clinical use in Western world due to side Effect

Mode of Action of Macrolides in BlockingTranslation during Bacterial Protein
Synthesis
The macrolides bind reversibly to the 50S subunit.
They can inhibit elongation of the protein by blocking the translocation of the ribosome to the next codon on mRNA

Molecular Drug Susceptibility Testing
• Genotypic methods: the drug target and nature of the gene mutation are known
• Usually molecular amplification of target DNA or RNA followed by some means of detecting mutation in the product.

Molecular methods of drug susceptibility testing
1. SequencingUniversal and reliable methodExpensive, time-consuming and not suitable for everyday routine testingApplied as reference method to verify results of other tests.

2. PCR-based methods
PCR-Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (PCR-SSCP)
Mutations cause alterations in conformation of single-strand DNA fragments and it is registered in non-denaturizing PAGE

PCR+hybridization
Based on amplification of fragments of genes responsible for drug resistance development follwed by hybridization with oligonucleotide probes immobilized on membranes;
Both commercial kits and in-house macro-arrays have been reported to demonstrate high sensitivity and specificity
