Antibiotics: The Talk You Always

Wanted

Umang Sood, MD Washington University Saint Louis Division of Hospitalist Medicine

l I  have  no  financial  disclosures    l Off-­‐label  uses  of  certain  an7microbials  will  be  discussed  

l Chemical  names  will  be  used  primarily  (brand  names  when  relevant)    

Overall  goals  of  talk    •  “The talk I wanted in nursing school”

•  The goals of this talk is to provide a: –  Review of basic understanding as to how antibiotics work –  Practical approach to choosing an empiric antibiotic regimen –  Deeper understanding of antibiotic resistance –  Good balance of inpatient and outpatient antibiotics

Three  Ways  to  Learn  An7bio7cs  

•  Antibiotic classes –  penicillins, cephalosporins, macrolides,…

•  Which drugs kill a particular bacteria –  “Which antibiotics have pseudomonas coverage?”

•  Disease based –  “Which antibiotics are recommended for AOM?”

Outline  l History  of  an7bio7cs  l Overview  of  how  an7bio7cs  work  l  Things  to  consider  when  choosing  an  an7bio7c  l Bacterial  resistance  and  beta-­‐lactamases  l Overview  of  specific  an7bio7cs  

n organisms  covered  n various  uses  in  pediatrics    n resistance  mechanisms  n pharmacological  considera7ons  and  side  effects  

l Case  discussions  intermixed  l  Feel  free  to  interrupt  with  ques1ons!

Review  and  Overview  of  Bacterial  Targets  

1)  Cell  Wall    2)  Protein  Synthesis  3)  Metabolic  Inhibitors    4)  Nucleic  Acid  Synthesis  and  thus  DNA  replica7on  

Review  and  Overview  of  Bacterial  Targets:  Bacterial  Cell  Walls  

•  Except  for  Mycoplasma  and  rela7ves,  all  bacteria  possess  pep7doglycan  – Provides  shape  and  structural  support  to  bacterial  cells  

– Structure  contributes  to  its  func7on  •  Polysaccharide  chains  composed  of  2  alterna7ng  sugars,  N-­‐acetylglucosamine  (NAG)  and  N-­‐acetylmuramic  acid  (NAM)  

•  Cross-­‐linked  in  3  dimensions  with  amino  acid  chains  •  A  breach  in  pep7doglycan  endangers  the  bacterium  

Pep7doglycan  Molecule   Bacterial  Cell  Walls  

•  Bacterial  cytoplasm  is  generally  hypertonic  compared  to  their  environment  •  Net  flow  of  water:  into  

cell  •  Wall  under  high  

osmo7c  pressure  

There is no molecule similar to peptidoglycan in humans, making drugs that target cell wall synthesis

very selective in their toxicity against bacteria.

Gram  posi7ve  &  Gram  Nega7ve  •  Gram  posi7ve  bacteria  have  a  thick  cell  wall  

– Pep7doglycan  directly  accessible  from  environment  •  Gram  nega7ve  bacteria  have  a  different  wall  

– Thin  layer  of  pep7doglycan  – Surrounded  by  an  outer  membrane  composed  of  lipopolysaccharide,  phospholipids,  and  proteins  

– Outer  membrane  is  a  barrier  to  diffusion  of  molecules  including  many  an7bio7cs  

•  Some  hydrophobic  an7bio7cs  may  diffuse  in.  •  Porins  allow  passage  of  only  some  an7bio7cs  

Gram  posi7ve  &  Gram  Nega7ve  

Bacteriosta7c  vs.  Bactericidal  

•  An7bio7cs  differ  by  mode  of  ac7on  •  Bacteriosta1c  compounds  inhibit  the  growth  of  

bacteria  – Holds  invaders  in  check;  host  immune  system  does  the  killing  

•  Bactericidal  compounds  directly  kill  the  bacteria  •  Loca7on  and  severity  of  infec7on  affect  choice  of  

an7bio7c  –  E.g.  CNS  infec7on  calls  for  bactericidal  treatment.  

Case  #1  

16  yo  p/w  sore  throat  and  has  a  posi7ve  rapid  strep  test.    The  best  an7bio7c  choice  is:  

 A.  Amoxicillin  40-­‐50  mg/kg/day  div  BID  B.  Amoxicillin  80-­‐90  mg/kg/day  div  BID  C.  Azithromycin  12  mg/kg/day  x  5  days  D.  Penicillin  VK

1-­‐Inhibi7on  of  cell  wall  synthesis  

l Mechanism:  n binds  to  penicillin  binding  proteins  (PBPs)àprevents  cross  linkage  between  pep7de  chains  in  cell  walls  (especially  gram  +)  and  therefore  cannot  syntehesize  reinforced  cell  wallàs7mulates  endogenous  autoly7c  systemsà  lysis  when  they  try  to  grow  

l  Time  dependent  bacteriocidal  killing    •  All  of  these  only  kill  growing  bacteria  

 

Penicillin backbone

Beta-­‐lactam  structure  

Beta  Lactams  

 are  poorly  lipid  soluble  and  do  not  cross  the  blood-­‐brain  barrier  in  appreciable  concentra7ons  unless  it  is  inflamed  (so  they  are  effec7ve  in  meningi7s)  

•  They  are  ac7vely  excreted  unchanged  by  the  kidney,  but  the  dose  should  be  reduced  in  severe  renal  failure  

Two  ways  bacteria  develop  resistance  to  beta-­‐lactams  

1.  Alteration of the penicillin binding protein (PBP) –  Pneumococcus –  Staph aureus resistance to methicillin

2.  Production of beta-lactamases (>200 identified) –  Hydrolyze penicillin only (“penicillinase”) –  Hydrolyze 3rd gen cephalosporins, but not cefepime –  Hydrolyze all beta-lactams other than carbapenems –  Hydrolyze all beta-lactams including carbapenems

Important  Beta-­‐lactamases    •  AmpC  beta-­‐lactamases  

–  SPACE  organisms  (Serra7a,  Providencia,  Pseudomonas,  Acinetobacter,  Citrobacter,  Enterobacter)  

–  resistant  to  3rd  gen.  cephs  and  beta-­‐lactamase  inhibitors  

–  use  cefepime  or  carbapenems  

 •  Extended  spectrum  beta-­‐

lactamases  (ESBLs)  –  Hydrolyze  all  beta-­‐lactams  

but  carbapenems  –  E.  coli,  Klebsiella,  Proteus,  

others  

 

Beta-­‐lactams:  Penicillin    

(acid  labile)  (acid  stable)  (mod.  serum  levels  for  12H)    

(low  serum  levels  for  3-­‐4  weeks)  

 l Ager  ~70  years  of  penicillin  use,  GAS  and  GBS  are  exquisitely  sensi7ve  

Beta-­‐lactams:  penicillin  

l S7ll  drug  of  choice  for:  n Group  A  and  B  streptococcus  n Rou7ne  dental  infec7ons  n Pasteurella  multocida  n Rat  bite  fever  n Treponema  pallidum  n Pneumococcal  prophylaxis  in  HbSS  

Case  #2   You see a 4 yo in your office with a PMH significant for autism. He presents with fever to 101 F and sore throat. Exam shows tonsillar erythema and exudate. Rapid strep is positive. Mom says he won’t take oral meds well. They are leaving for Disney World tomorrow. You prescribe:

A. IM ceftriaxone x 1 B. IM ampicillin C.  IM penicillin aqueous G D.  IM Bicillin CR (procaine and benzathine

penicillin)

Beta  lactams  -­‐  aminopenicillins  

l More  GN  coverage  than  PCN,  with  same  GP  coverage  l  E.  Coli,  Klebsiella,  Proteus.  H.  Flu,  

 l  Aminopenicillins  are  popular  in  pediatrics  because:  

n Amoxicillin  is  so  palatable  (Yum!)  n AOM  n Community  acquired  pneumonia  n UTI  (some7mes)  n Neonatal  sepsis  to  cover  Listeria,  GBS,  enterococci    

S.  pneumoniae  and  H.  influenzae  B  •  1940-1975

–  S. pneumo and H. flu B common –  Penicillin resistance in both uncommon

•  1985 – Hib B vaccine –  Leads to significant decline in invasive disease –  Non-typable H. flu less virulent

•  1980-2000 –  Rise in penicillin-resistant pneumococcus

•  2001 – Prevnar 7 •  2001-2010

–  Rise of emerging serotypes (i.e. 19 A) –  Emerging serotypes often had high penicillin resistance

S.  pneumoniae  and  H.  influenzae  b  •  2004-2006

–  AAP: increase amoxicillin to 80-100mg/kg/day •  2010 – Prevnar 13

–  included 19A and other emerging serotypes in vaccine •  2010-2013

–  Decrease in penicillin-resistance serotypes! (prelim data) –  CAP guidelines recommend ampicillin monotherapy! –  Some increase in resistant NT H.flu (some beta-lactamase

negative)

•  Do we still need high-dose amoxicillin? •  Should we be using a beta-lactamase inhibitor or

cephalosporin more often to cover NT H. flu?

S

Cephalosporin backbone

Cephalosporins  Spectrum  

Cephalosporins  

•  All have activity against MSSA

•  Increased GN coverage with higher generations

•  ALWAYS miss enterococci, Listeria, MRSA

•  1st generation - poor CSF penetration

•  3rd and 4th generation - good CSF penetration

•  Renal excretion except for ceftriaxone

1st  genera7on  cephalosporins  

l Good  GP  (including  MSSA)  and  some  GN  l Not  effec7ve  against  H.  flu  or  M.  catarrhalis  

 -­‐  pre-­‐op,  osteo,  MSSA

2nd  genera7on  cephalosporins  

•  Think: 1st gen ceph PLUS H. flu, M. cat. coverage

- used for AOM, CAP, early Lyme

- same as above

- serum sickness

– no longer 1st line for CAP

2nd  Gen.  Ceph.  -­‐  the  cephamycins    

•  Cefoxitin (IV) and cefotetan (IV)

•  “Cefuroxime + anaerobic coverage”

•  Indications: –  intraabdominal infx (better

options now avail.) –  Abdominal surgery

perioperative prophylaxis –  PID: “cefoxy / doxy”

•  25% B. fragilis are resistant

3rd  genera7on  cephalosporins  

– QD –  Inferior to high-dose amoxicillin for S. pneumo CAP

– QD

- QD –  Excellent gram negative (mildly better than cefdinir) – Only fair gram positive coverage –  Very expensive

•  cefdinir (Omnicef) 250 mg/5ml (60 ml) = $19.65 •  cefixime (Suprax) 200 mg/5ml (50 ml) = $247.42

4th  genera7on  -­‐  Cefepime  

•  Excellent GN – stability against GN beta-lactamases

•  Good for AmpC-mediated resistant SPACE organisms

•  Not recommended for ESBL, steno., burkholderia sp.

•  Retains good gram positive coverage (MSSA and PRP)

•  Covers ~90% of Pseudomonas

•  Indications: F+N, serious GN infections

GPs Pseudomonas

Aztreonam  

•  Gram negative plus moderate Pseudomonas activity

•  No gram positive activity •  Used inhaled in CF

patients •  Can be used in patients

with beta-lactam allergies •  IV form in limited use

today

Carbapenems  

(IV) – lowers seizure threshold (IV) - most widely used

(IV, IM) - QD dosing, misses Pseudomonas •  Broadest activity of beta-lactams (GP+GN+anaerobes) •  Good CSF penetration

Your choice of empiric antibiotics should be:

a. ampicillin and ceftriaxone b. ceftriaxone c. vancomycin and ceftriaxone d. vancomycin and meropenem

Vancomycin  •  Interferes with bacterial cell

wall production •  Slowly bactericidal against

GP ONLY, NO GRAM NEGATIVE –  Opposite of Meropenum

•  Binds D-ala-D-ala moieties of cell wall (not PBP) so interferes in an earlier stage than PCN

•  Resistance: –  thicken cell wall (VISA) –  Mutation leading to

altered binding- D-ala D-lac (VRSA)

•  Vancomycin resistant enterococci still rare at SLCH

2-­‐  Inhibi7on  of  Protein  Synthesis    

 (bactericidal):  

(bacteriosta1c)  •  These  act  on  the  ribosome  which  

is  the  site  of  protein  synthesis  –  Has  two  parts:  

•  Large  Unit:  50S  •  Smaller  Unit:  30S    

Protein  synthesis  inhibitors  

•  Aminoglycosides  (streptomycin,  gentamicin)  change  shape  of  30S  ribosome  subunit  

•  Tetracycline  blocks  access  to  A  site  of  30S  subunit  

Protein  synthesis  inhibitors  

•  Chloramphenicol block peptide bond formation from 50S subunit

•  Macrolides (erythromycin) block 50S subunit action

Aminoglycosides
