portals of entry & exit

inoculation vs. disease: preferred portal of entry entry DOES NOT EQUAL disease entry into preferred portal of entry DOES NOT EQUAL disease ID 50 : infectious dose for 50% of population –inhalation anthrax: <10 4 spores –V. cholerae: 10 8 cells LD 50 : lethal dose for 50% –botulinum toxin: 0.03 ng/kg –E. coli shiga toxin: 250 ng/kg

chapter 15 learning objectives 1.Describe pathogenesis from exposure to disease. What factors contribute to disease? 2.Relate preferred portal of entry and ID50 to the likelihood of infection. 3.Know how to interpret ID50 and LD50 results. 4.Describe what is meant by invasiveness and the mechanisms and factors that affect invasiveness (adherence, penetration, avoidance of phagocytosis, ability to cause damage). 5.Be able to list enzymes produced by microbes than enhance pathogenicity and virulence as well as describe the effects of these enzymes on the host (i.e., hyaluronidase, collangenase, coagulase, kinase). 6.Differentiate between an endotoxin and an exotoxin as far as source, chemistry and type of molecule (protein, or polysaccharide/lipid). List and understand how examples from class work (e.g., cytotoxin, hemolysin, neurotoxin, enterotoxin, endotoxin). It is not necessary to know the particular details of how each of the three types of exotoxins work.

chapter 20 antimicrobial compounds
15
chemotherapeutic agents Paul Ehrlich- 1910’s salvarsan (synthetic arsenic) to treat syphilis Alexander Fleming- 1928 Penicillium notatum Howard Florey- 1940 P. notatum effectivity
16
antimicrobials inhibition of protein synthesis: chloramphenicol, erythryomycin, tetracyclines, streptomycin TranscriptionTranslation Replication Enzyme Protein DNAmRNA inhibition of NA replication & Xscription: quinolones, rifampin inhibition of cell wall synthesis: penicillins, cephalosporins, bacitracin, vancomycin injury to plasma membrane: polymyxin B inhibition of metabolite synthesis: sulfanimide, trimethoprim
17
protein synthesis inhibition Translation Streptomycin Tetracyclines Chloramphenicol Messenger RNA Direction of ribosome movement 70S prokaryotic ribosome tRNA Protein synthesis site 30S portion 50S portion Changes shape of 30S portion, causing code on mRNA to be read incorrectly Interfere with attachment of tRNA to mRNA–ribosome complex Binds to 50S portion and inhibits formation of peptide bond
18
GFA: metabolite inhibition & synergism
19
Phosphate Nucleoside Guanine nucleotide Cellular thymidine kinase DNA polymerase Incorporated into DNA Phosphate DNA polymerase blocked by false nucleotide. Assembly of DNA stops. False nucleotide (acyclovir triphosphate) Acyclovir (resembles nucleoside) Viral Thymidine kinase GFAs: nucleic acid inhibition

penicillin & cell wall synthesis inhibition CELL WALL FORMATION autolysins cut wall new “bricks” inserted transpeptidase bonds bricks PENICILLIN ACTION transpeptidase binds pen. forms PBP-antibiotic structure no new bond formation cell ruptures

Abx resistance 1.outdated, weakened, inappropriate Abx use 2.use of Abx in animal feed 3.long-term, low-dose Abx use 4.aerosolized Abx in hospitals 5.failure to follow prescribed treatment
22
the episilometer (E) test- the MIC
23
Abx resistance 1.loss of porins - Abx/drug movement into cell 2.Abx modifying enzymes -cleave β-lactam ring -Anx non-functional 3.efflux pumps - movement out of cell 4.target site mutations -enzymes -polymerases -ribosomes -LPS layer Resistance mechanisms

chapter 20learning objectives 1.What is the major difference between an antibiotic and a drug? What were the first drug and antibiotic? 2.Antimicrobial agents target which areas of the bacterial cell? How specifically do antibiotics inhibit protein synthesis? 3.Describe the mechanism of action of penicillin on the bacterial cell. 4.List and explain the effects of antibiotic/drug action on the bacterial cell and the action of penicillin specifically. 5.Discuss the mode of action of growth factor analogs in general and sulfa drugs and acyclovir specifically. 6.How are antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance related? How are antibiotics abused? 7.Define bacteriolytic, bacteriostatic, bactericidal, MIC, MBC. Describe how MIC is calculated and what it will tell you about a given bacterium. 8.Understand the four major ways that antibiotic resistance is achieved. Include -lactamases and clavulanate/clavulinic acid specifically.
