Mechanisms of Bacterial Attack
A. Adhesion – how bacteria bind to host.
*2 Basic ways*
1. Pili (Fimbria)
2. Glycocalyx (capsule or slime layer)

B. Bacterial Toxins – poisons released by
certain bacteria.
1.Exotoxins – poisons are released by live
bacteria
a. tissue specific
i.e. Hemolysins – cause red blood cells to burst
b. Found in some gram+ and gram-

2. Endotoxins- poisons released only when bacteria
lyse (burst)
*Found in all gram negative bacteria

The History of Antimicrobial Agents
• Chemicals that affect physiology in any manner
• Chemotherapeutic agents– Drugs that act against diseases
• Antimicrobial agents – Drugs that treat infections
• Semisynthetics– Chemically altered antibiotics that are more effective
than naturally occurring ones
• Synthetics– Antimicrobials that are completely synthesized in a lab

Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Action
• Key is selective toxicity
• Antibacterial drugs constitute largest number and diversity of antimicrobial agents
**Fewer drugs to treat eukaryotic infections
**Even fewer antiviral drugs
![Page 16: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

1. Inhibit Cell Wall synthesis:– prevent cross-linkage of NAM subunits
– Bacteria have weakened cell walls and eventually lyse
a. Penicillin
b. Cephalosporins
![Page 20: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
No Folic Acid = No RNA or DNA synthesis
![Page 21: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Inhibit Protein Synthesis (Translation)*Tetracyclines, Erythromycin, and Chloramphenicol
– Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S (30S and 50S)
– Eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S (40S and 60S)
– Mitochondria of animals and humans contain 70S ribosomes
• Can be harmful
– protein’s denature
![Page 22: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Damage Cell Membrane.• form channel through membrane
and damage its integrity• the cell loses its selective
permeability• Most are toxic to human cells• Polymyxins, Polyenes and Imidazoles
are selective for microbe cell membranes
5. Inhibition of Metabolic Pathways
• Heavy metals inactivate enzymes
• effective when metabolic processes of pathogen and host differ
![Page 23: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Clinical Considerations in Prescribing Antimicrobial Drugs
• Ideal Antimicrobial Agent
– Readily available
– Inexpensive
– Chemically stable
– Easily administered
– Nontoxic and nonallergenic
– Selectively toxic against wide range of pathogens• act against the pathogen and not the host
![Page 24: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Narrow vs. Broad Spestrum
– Narrow-spectrum effective against few organisms• Targets specific aspects or types of bacteria
– Broad-spectrum effective against many organisms
• May allow for secondary or superinfections to develop
• Killing of normal flora reduces microbial antagonism
![Page 25: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Determining Susceptibility of Bacterial to Antimicrobial Drug
• MIC = Minimum Inhibitory Concentration
![Page 27: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Determining Susceptibility of Bacterial to Antimicrobial Drug
• Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method
size of clearing zone indicates if susceptible or resistant
![Page 28: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• E-test– strips with gradient concentration of antibiotic
– Test organism will grow and form zone of inhibition
• Zone is tear-drop shaped
• Zone will intersect strip at inhibitory concentration
![Page 29: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Clinical Considerations in Prescribing Antimicrobial Drugs
• Safety and Side Effects
– Disruption of normal microbiota
• May result in secondary infections
• Overgrowth of normal flora causes superinfections
• Of greatest concern for hospitalized patients
![Page 30: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Bacteria and Antibiotics Resistance *How do Bacteria Resistant Bacteria Form?
Step 1- Variations exist (In DNA) among members of all species. -Including drug resistant traits (usually in plasmid DNA)Acquisition of R-plasmids via transformation, transduction, and conjugation
Step 2- Bacteria Exposed to Antibiotic
![Page 31: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step 3- All Bacteria die except
the ones with the resistant gene
Step 4- Ab. Resistant Bacteria
Flourish without many competitors
![Page 32: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Multiple Resistance –Pathogen can acquire resistance to more than one
drug
– Common when plasmids exchanged
– Develop in hospitals and nursing homes• Constant use of drugs eliminates sensitive cells
– Superbugs
![Page 33: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
• a strain of bacteria that's become resistant to the antibiotics – hospitals
– invasive procedures or devices, such as surgeries, intravenous tubing or artificial joints
• Another type of MRSA infection has occurred in the wider community — among healthy people – often begins as a painful skin boil
– It's spread by skin-to-skin contact
– high school wrestlers, child care workers and people who live in crowded conditions

Resistance to Antimicrobial Drugs
• Slow down Resistance
– Maintain high concentration of drug in patient for sufficient time
• Kills all sensitive cells and inhibits others so immune system can destroy
– Use antimicrobial agents in combination
![Page 40: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Resistance to Antimicrobial Drugs
• Delaying Resistance
– Use antimicrobials only when necessary
– Develop new variations of existing drugs
• Second and third -generation drugs
– Search for new antibiotics, semisynthetics, and synthetics
• Design drugs complementary to the shape of microbial proteins to inhibit them
![Page 41: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Chemical METHODS OF DISINFECTION
• Heavy metals (Ag, Hg, Cu)
• Silver is an antimicrobial agent• Used in dressings for burn victims
• Incorpotated into indwelling catheters
– CuSO4 used to destroy green algae in swimming pools and fish tanks
– Cu + Zn treated shingles are available to create anti-fungal roofs
– ZnCl2 is common ingredient in mouthwash

Chemical Food Preservatives
• SO2 (wine)
• Na-benzoate, Ca-propionate, sorbic acid (cheese, soft drinks, breads)
• NaNO3 or NaNO2 (ham, bacon, hot dogs)
–Very effective against Clostridium botulinum
![Page 43: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Chemical Food Preservative
•Nabenzoate in coke/cheese prevents growth of molds
•Foods w/ low pH tend to be susceptible to mold
•NaNO3/NO2 are added to meat products (ham, bacon, hot dogs etc.)
•Salts prevents growth of some types of bacteria that are responsible for meat spoilage
![Page 44: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Nitrates/Nitrites
•NaNO3/NO2 are added to meat products (ham, bacon, hot dogs etc.)
•Salts prevents growth of some types of bacteria that are responsible for meat spoilage
![Page 45: -cidal or -static](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042918/626a7ef4f13c1d1ac3216a11/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Nitrates in food
Nitrite in meat greatly delays the development of botulinal toxin (botulism)
Sugar is added to cured meats as well to reduce the harshness of salts
Sodium nitrite (NaNO2), rather than sodium nitrate (NaNO3), is commonly used for curing
NO2 is converted to Nitric oxide
Nitric oxide combines with myoglobin (responsible for the natural red color of uncured meat)
