CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS
Monday, January 23, 2012
Antibiotics are medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria only
Infections are usually caused by bacteria or viruses
Antibiotics, therefore, do not cure all infections
Many infections like the common cold, flu, mild sore throat or diarrhea are caused by viruses

WHAT IF ANTIBIOTICS WERE USED INCORRECTLY?
No healing effect - If antibiotics are used for viral infections, there will be no effect on the illness
Antibiotic resistance - This occurs when one antibiotic no longer works on a specific type of bacteria
A stronger antibiotic will be needed to treat the infection caused by this resistant strain of bacteria

Another factor that contributes to resistance is that when patients are prescribed antibiotics for a just cause, many do not finish their medication
This allows resistant bacteria to survive more easily
The practice of saving unused medication to treat themselves or others at a later date can also lead to resistant strains

Also contributing to antibiotic resistance is the widespread use of antibiotics to promote weight gain and to control disease in cattle, pigs, and chickens
Forty to fifty percent of antibiotics produced are used in livestock feed
This leads to an increase of resistant bacteria in these animals, which is then spread to humans

THE CONSEQUENCES OF RESISTANCE:Ecology of pathogenesis
Bacteria grow fast
High population densities
Great competition for resources
Pathogen = normal bacterium that has gained access to a new resource through new genes
--> Competitive advantage

12 Steps to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance: Hospitalized Adults
1. Vaccinate2. Get the catheters out
3. Target the pathogen4. Access the experts
5. Practice antimicrobial control6. Use local data7. Treat infection, not
contamination8. Treat infection, not
colonization 9. Know when to say “no” to
vanco10. Stop treatment when infection
is cured or unlikely
11. Isolate the pathogen12. Contain the contagion
