  • Nature Nurtures the Design of New Semi-Synthetic Macrolide Antibiotics
    The Journal of Antibiotics (2017) 70, 527–533 OPEN Official journal of the Japan Antibiotics Research Association www.nature.com/ja REVIEW ARTICLE Nature nurtures the design of new semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotics Prabhavathi Fernandes, Evan Martens and David Pereira Erythromycin and its analogs are used to treat respiratory tract and other infections. The broad use of these antibiotics during the last 5 decades has led to resistance that can range from 20% to over 70% in certain parts of the world. Efforts to find macrolides that were active against macrolide-resistant strains led to the development of erythromycin analogs with alkyl-aryl side chains that mimicked the sugar side chain of 16-membered macrolides, such as tylosin. Further modifications were made to improve the potency of these molecules by removal of the cladinose sugar to obtain a smaller molecule, a modification that was learned from an older macrolide, pikromycin. A keto group was introduced after removal of the cladinose sugar to make the new ketolide subclass. Only one ketolide, telithromycin, received marketing authorization but because of severe adverse events, it is no longer widely used. Failure to identify the structure-relationship responsible for this clinical toxicity led to discontinuation of many ketolides that were in development. One that did complete clinical development, cethromycin, did not meet clinical efficacy criteria and therefore did not receive marketing approval. Work on developing new macrolides was re-initiated after showing that inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by the imidazolyl-pyridine moiety on the side chain of telithromycin was likely responsible for the severe adverse events.

  • Effects of Chlortetracycline and Copper Supplementation on Levels of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Feces of Weaned Pigs
    EFFECTS OF CHLORTETRACYCLINE AND COPPER SUPPLEMENTATION ON LEVELS OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN THE FECES OF WEANED PIGS by GETAHUN EJETA AGGA DVM, Addis Ababa University, 2003 MSc, Utrecht University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology College of Veterinary Medicine KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2013 Abstract The use of antibiotics in food animals is of major concern as a purported cause of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human pathogens; as a result, alternatives to in-feed antibiotics such as heavy metals have been proposed. The effect of copper and CTC supplementation in weaned pigs on AMR in the gut microbiota was evaluated. Four treatment groups: control, copper, chlortetracycline (CTC), and copper plus CTC were randomly allocated to 32 pens with five pigs per pen. Fecal samples (n = 576) were collected weekly from three pigs per pen over six weeks and two Escherichia coli isolates per sample were tested phenotypically for antimicrobial and copper susceptibilities and genotypically for the presence of tetracycline (tet), copper (pcoD) and ceftiofur (blaCMY-2) resistance genes. CTC-supplementation significantly increased tetracycline resistance and susceptibility to copper when compared with the control group. Copper supplementation decreased resistance to most of the antibiotics, including cephalosporins, over all treatment periods. However, copper supplementation did not affect minimum inhibitory concentrations of copper or detection of pcoD. While tetA and blaCMY-2 genes were associated with a higher multi-drug resistance (MDR), tetB and pcoD were associated with lower MDR. Supplementations of CTC or copper alone were associated with increased tetB prevalence; however, their combination was paradoxically associated with reduced prevalence.

Alkylating agents contain a variety of functional groupingsj A: Mustards e.g. HN2 1, mannomustine 2, melphalan 3, chlorambucil 4, cyclophosphamide 6. B: Sulfonic acid esters e.g, busulfan 6. C: Epoxides e.g. 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane 7. D: Ethyleneimines e.g. triethylenephosphoramide 8 , triethylenethiophosphoramide 9, triethylene- melamine W (Chart 1 ). Their biological activity is influenced to a large meaaiire by the nature of the carrier; a variety of chemical substances such as amino acids, carbohydrates, steroids and various heterocyclic molecules have been employed for this purpose.

ANTIBIOTICS TAKAo KAsAI,*TosHlo ToMITA, SHIRo KANEGAsAKI and J, YuzuRu HoMMA** Department of Bacteriology,Institute of Medical Science, Universityof Tokyo, Shiroganedai, Minato-ku, Tokyo lO8, Japan (Received for publicatioll April l7,1982) Thc occurrence inρ 一lactam treated patiellts of unstable L-forms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa hlscnsitivc to various antibiotics and synergistic effect ofcombined action of celi wa11-affecting antibiotics and macrolide on Pseudomonas infection led us to examine thc effects of macrolidc on P.aeruginosa pretreated with cell wail-affbcting antibiotics. The effects of macrolide antibiotics such as midecamycin acetate(MOM)on P. aeruginosa was investigated, a rapid killing effect by MOM was lloted after treatmellt wkh suboptimal doses of ce11 wa11-affecting antibiotics such as polymyxin B, carbenicillin, dibekacill or fosfomycin. IIlcorporation of [1.4C]MOM lllto intact P.aeruginosa cells was not significant, but was apparent into L-form cells or cells pretreated wiIh cell wall-affecting antibiotics, The incor- porated radioactlvity was found in thc 70 S ribosome fractio11, binding with the 50 S subunits of ribosome in both cases, These results indicate tllat under certain conditions a macrolidc antibiotic can emer the P.aeruginosa cell, YAMAMoTo and HoMMA1)reported isolating unstable L-forms from clinical specimens of patients with chronic respiratory tract infection and cow mastitis due to P.aeruginosa who were undergoingβ 一 l actanl antibiotic therapy.
