A. Selective toxicity
23A. Selective toxicity
Toxicity for the pathogen, but not for the host.
Something to think about:What is the basis for selectivetoxicity?
TB
24B. Growth factor analogsA substance structurallyrelated to a growth factor that blocks its use.
TB
251. Sulfanilamide
Growth factor analog structurallyrelated to p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)
Inhibits microbial growth byinhibiting folate synthesis

Sulfanilamide is nontoxicto humans because we take up folate from our diet.

Important point
Why? TB
37V. Antibiotic Resistance
A. the problem of resistanceB. resistance mechanismsC. development of resistanceD. enzymes that inactivate antibiotics
38A. The problem of resistance
• Vancomycin-resistant Staphlyococcus aureus
• Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
• Quinolone-resistant Salmonella enterica
Examples of drug-resistant bacteria
39Why so much resistance?
• Overuse of antibiotics in inpatient and outpatient settings.
• Increased use of quinolones, tetracyclines, and glycopeptides in agriculture, the poultry industry, veterinary practice, and marine biology.
• Newer, implantable cardiovascular and orthopedic devices that necessitate prophylactic antibiotics.
40B. Resistance mechanisms
• lack of target site• impermeability• chemical modification of the antibiotic
• pump antibiotic out of cell
41C. Development of resistance
1. Mutationtarget site modification
2. Gene transferR-plasmids
42R-plasmids (resistance plasmids)Plasmids that carry antibiotic resistance genes.
Antibiotic resistance genes usuallyencode enzymes thatinactivate antibiotics
43
3. Tetracycline pumppumps tetracycline out of the cell
D. Enzymes that inactivate antibiotics
1. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferaseacetylates chloramphenicol
beta-lactamasecleaves the beta-lactam ring
44Interactions of antibiotics with alcohol in humans
• Antibiotics that are affected by alcohol are chloramphenicol, cephalosporins, metronidazole, and others.
• These produce "disulfiram-like" reactions.
45Disulfiram-like reactions
• Disulfiram is a drug to treat alcoholism.• Some antibiotics cause a reaction similar to disulfiram
reactions.• Inactivates the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase.• Causing accumulation of acetaldehyde in blood.• Symptoms are flushed face, severe headaches, chest
pains, shortness of breath, vomiting, and sweating.

Understand how each is used to measure antimicrobial activity of chemicals.3. What is MIC? How does it correlate with antimicrobial activity of an inhibitor?4. Memorize the common food spoilage organisms covered in class. 5. Know what pasteurization is and what types of foods are pasteurized.6. Memorize the food preservation methods and examples presented in class. 7. What is selective toxicity? Understand the basis of selective toxicity of growth factor analogs, antibiotics, azidothymidine, interferon, and antiviral agents.8. What is a growth factor analog?9.

48Study objectives14. Give 3 examples of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. What are the major causes of antibiotic resistance? 15. What are the mechanisms by which bacteria require antibiotic resistance? What is the role of R-plasmids in resistance? Understand how antibiotic-inactivating enzymes work. 16. Explain why alcohol should not be consumed while taking some antibiotics. Why do disulfiram-like antibiotics cause symptoms when consumed with alcohol?
