1
Antibiotics affecting the cell envelope
Dr. Alvin Fox
2
Key Words
Sterilization/disinfection/antisepsis
Vancomycin Antibiotic beta
lactam Selective toxicity
Penicillins Bactericidal

Cephalosporins/cephamycins Bacteriostatic

Monobactam Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)
Clavulinic acid Susceptibility testing
Polymyxin B Penicillin
binding proteins
Isoniazid Penicillinase/beta lactamase
Ethioniamide Autolysins

Ethambutol Cycloserine
Resistance Bacitracin
3
STERILIZATION
  • All killed
  • non-selective

4
Sterilization
  • autoclaving
  • 121oC (heat/pressure)
  • Heat resistant materials
  • ethylene oxide
  • non heat resistant
  • Usually equipment
  • being replaced e.g. H2O2/free radicals
  • ultra-violet light
  • surfaces (e.g operating rooms)
  • not totally effective
  • gamma radiation
  • food
  • some mail

5
Membrane filters
pores
bacteria
6
Disinfection
  • Liquids that kill bacteria
  • e.g. phenol based
  • too toxic for skin surfaces

7
Antiseptics
  • Topical (e.g. skin)
  • e.g. iodine or 70 alcohol
  • reduce bacterial load

8
ANTIBIOTICS
  • Selectively toxic for bacteria
  • bactericidal (killing)
  • bacteriostatic (growth inhibition)
  • no harm to patient

9
Antibiotics
  • destroy structures
  • present in bacteria
  • not present in host

10

Antibiotics work together with immune system
11
Minimal inhibitory concentration
  • lowest level stopping growth
  • e. g. zone of inhibition around a disk
    impregnated with antibiotic

12
  • Antibiotics that inhibit cell wall
  • biosynthesis are bactericidal
  • Without cell wall, osmotic pressure
  • causes bacteria to burst

13
Cross-linking of peptidoglycan
Old
New
14
Peptidoglycan synthesis
Cell Membrane
Cytoplasm
Cell wall
undecaprenol
sugar
amino acid
15
Cycloserine
  • alanine (ala) analog
  • inhibits conversion of L-ala to D-ala
  • inhibits formation of D-ala-D-ala

Vancomycin
Cell wall
Vancomycin
  • binds to D-ala-D-ala
  • inhibits cross-linking

26
Beta lactam antibiotics
  • penicillins
  • Cephalosporins/cephamycins
  • monobactams

27
Beta lactams
Cell wall
  • inhibit penicillin binding proteins
  • stop cross-linking

Beta lactam
Penicillin binding protein
28
STRUCTURE OF PENICILLIN
Site of penicillinase action. Breakage of the ?
lactam ring.
29
Attached to lactam ring
  • penicillins
  • 5 membered ring
  • Cephalosporins/cephamycins
  • 6 membered ring
  • monobactams
  • no second ring

30
Chemical modifications change biological activity
  • Early lactam antibiotics
  • inactive against Gram negative bacteria
  • no penetration of outer membrane

31
Resistance mechansims
  • Produce beta lactamase (penicillinase)
  • destroys antibiotic
  • modified penicillin binding proteins
  • dont bind antibiotic
  • modified porins
  • no internalization of antibiotic

32
Clavulinic acid
  • beta lactam
  • binds strongly beta lactamases
  • inhibits activity

33
Polymyxin B
  • binds
  • lipid A
  • phospholipids
  • disrupts outer membrane, Gram negative bacteria
  • toxic to human cells

34
Isoniazid, Ethambutol, Ethionamide  
Anti-tuberculosis drugs
Isoniazid and Ethionamide - chemically related -
blocks mycolic acid synthesis Ethambutol - blocks
arabinogalactan synthesis
