The Spectrum of antimicrobial Activity
•**it is easy to find or develop drugs that effective against prokaryotic cells ,& that do not affect the eukaryotic cells of humans
•**the problem is difficult when the pathogen is eukaryotic (fungus, protozoan, helminthes)
•**viral infection more difficult to treat

Antibiotics=are a metabolic products or a constituent of a microorganism which kills or inhibit the growth of another microorganism
Nowadays used are semi synthetic (Ampicillin) or synthetic (Sulfa drugs)
(produced wholly or partly by chemical synthesis(
Low concentrations inhibit the growth of m.o.

Characteristics of a good chemotherapeutic or antibiotic
•1-it must kill or inhibit the growth of the pathogenic organism
•2-it must cause no damage to the host (it must have selective toxicity)
•3-it must cause no allergic reaction
•4-it must be stable in solid or dissolved state
•5-it must remain in the desired tissue for the sufficient length of time (pharmacokinetics)
•6 -it must kill the pathogenic organism quickly before it mutates and
becomes resistant to the drug
![Page 9: Chemotherapeutics & antibiotics. Chemotherapeutics Chemicals which are used within the body tissues to kill or inhibit the growth of pathogenic organisms](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e685503460f94b6423f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
•Pharmacokinetics have to be desirable (absorption, disintegration)
•selective toxicity = toxic for the pathogenic organism and not toxic for the host == defined by the therapeutic index
• max. tolerated dose (toxic to the host)
•-------------------------------------------------------------- • min. curative dose (effective therapeutic dose)
•The high the therapeutic index the better the antibiotic is

The Spectrum of antimicrobial Activity
•Narrow spectrum = affect only select group of microorganisms
• e.g Penicillin G affects Gram positive bacteria
•Broad spectrum = affect a broad range of Gram positive or Gram negative bacteria
• = affect a more diverse • range of microbes
e.g. Chloramphenicol.

Clinical uses of antimicrobial drugs
•Inappropriate Antimicrobial Use Prescription not taken correctly
Antibiotics for viral infections
Antibiotics sold without medical supervision
Spread of resistant microbes in hospitals due to lack of hygiene

Proper selection of antimicrobial agent is based on a number of factors
•-**the identity of the pathogen•-**potential toxicity to the patient
•-**pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics of the agent
•-**site of infection•-**rout of administration
•-**drug resistance•-**possible drug interaction
•-**host factors•-**cost

•Drug selection should be based on it’s activity against infecting pathogen
•pathogen may be predictably susceptible to a particular drug
•Therefore lab. guidance is essential for safe prescribing
•Culture & sensitivity test

To lower Antimicrobial Resistance Development
• Use more narrow spectrum antibiotics
• Use antimicrobial cocktails
Effects of combinations of drugs
• SynergismPenicillin and streptomycin, Sulfa and trimethoprim
• AntagonismPenicillin and tetracycline
• Addition

For antibiotics “A” and “B” used in combination:
Actual killing rate = A + B Additive
Actual killing rate > A + B Synergistic
Actual killing rate < A + B Antagonistic
Typically bacteriostatic agents are antagonistic to bactericidal agents.
Bacteriocidal agents can be synergistic (think of the latter as one antibiotic weakens more bacteria than it kills, making the not-killed bacteria more susceptible to additional insult by the second antibiotic).
Additive means that the two (or more) antibiotics neither hinder nor help each other’s ability to kill.
Also relevant to rates of mutation to resistance.
