PBP 1 ­ cell lysis (amoxicillin, cephalosporin) 2. PBP 2 ­ non-rigid, oval-shaped cells, no cell division (methicillin and cefotaxime) 3. PBP 3 ­ long, filamentous-shaped (mezlocillin and cefuroxime) 4. PBP 4 ­ 6 no lethal effects ○ Selectively and irreversibly inhibits the enzymes processing the developing peptidoglycan layer. ○ Autolysins cleave the N-acetylmuramic acid-peptide bond to L-ala. Beta Lactam ring mimics the shape of the terminal D-Ala-D-Ala peptide sequence that serves as the substrate for cell wall transpeptidases that form covalent bonds between different peptidoglycan chains during periods of cell growth. BETA LACTAMS HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTION ○ Beta lactam ring produces an inactive penicilloic acid ○ ALLERGENICITY: Rash or itching, or delayed onset CV collapse or shock Due to penicilloic acid reacting with lysine-amino group forming Penicilloyl proteins. ○ Beta lactams are also acid sensitive, and degrade at low pH by a more complex mechanism. BETA LACTAMS INACTIVATION CAUSED BY BACTERIAL ENZYME ○ Beta lactams form allergenic haptens in vivo. ○ PENICILLINASES 1. B-lactamases are a group of enzymes specifically designed to degrade and inactivate beta lactam antibiotics by directly attacking the beta lactam bond which leads to ring opening and inactivating the antibiotic. 2. Acylases are also a variety enzymes that have been isolated from some bacteria, and these enzymes cleave the acylamino side chain of the antibiotic inactive BETA LACTAMS PROTEIN BINDING ○ due to lipophilic structures Nafcillin is the most protein bound (90%) Amoxicillin and Ampicillin ­ 25 ­ 30% ○ Acylamino side chain-responsible for protein binding BETA LACTAMS RESISTANCE OF BACTERIA ○ 1. production of beta lactamases ○ 2. mutation of PBP's to a form with lower affinity for the antibiotic ○ 3. decreased permeability of the cell wall to beta lactams ○ 4. Presence of efflux pump ○ 5. PORINS The opening in porins is too small to allow diffusion of large molecules, such as vancomycin (resulting in an inherent or intrinsic form of gram-negative resistance against glycopeptide antibiotics. Some gram-negative bacteria express porins having an altered pore structure that does not permeation of smaller drugs (such as beta-lactams or carbapenems). ○ 6. Peptidoglycan is absent Some bacteria (e.g. mycobacteria) lack a cell wall, and can multiply in the presence of β-lactam antibiotics, potentially resulting in serious infection (e.g. atypical pneumonia). PENICILLINS A.

Penicillinase-Resistant Penicillins ○ Antistaphylococcal Penicillins These are less potent against bacteria that do not produce beta lactamase, but are effective against those that do.

Sulbactam ○ ­Has weak antibacterial activity but potentiates activity of ampicillin and carbenicillin against β-lactamase producing staphylococcus and enterobacteriaceae ○ Non-synergistic with Carbenicillin ○ Sulbactam + Ampicillin- Sultamicillin (Unasyn) 3. Tazobactam ○ More potent than sulbactam, slightly broader in spectrum than clavulanic acid, weak antibacterial activity ○ With piperacillin for appendicitis, postpartum endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory infections Class II possess potent antibacterial activity in addition to its ability to cause transient inhibition of some β-lactamases Carbapenem, Monobactams A. CARBAPENEMS ○ Imipenem, Meropenem, Ertapenem ○ 1. Imipenem penetrates bacterial porins well, and is stable to and inhibitory for many beta lactamases. It is not orally active with cilastin sodium, an inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase 1, which attacks and inactivates imipenem. B.
