Antibiotics part 2
Tetracycline group antibiotics are obtained from Streptomyces bacteria. They inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. Examples include tetracycline, minocycline, and doxycycline. They are used to treat infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria but resistance has developed. Side effects include nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Aminoglycosides like streptomycin and gentamicin are poorly absorbed orally and injected intramuscularly. They inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. Used for serious gram-negative infections but are nephrotoxic and ototoxic. Resistance develops slowly when combined with other antibiotics

Tetracyclines • Antibiotics obtainedas by-products from the metabolism of various species of Streptomyces • Thus, tetracycline (by catalytic hydrogenation) and clomocycline are obtained from chlortetracycline, which is itself produced from Strep. aureofaciens. • Methacycline is obtained from oxytetracycline (produced from Strep, rimosus) and hydrogenation of methacycline gives doxycycline. • Demethylchlortetracycline is produced by a mutant strain of Strep, aureofaciens. • Minocycline is a derivative of tetracycline.

Editor's Notes
- #3 1. although some members may now be thought of as being semisynthetic. There are several clinically important tetracyclines, characterized by four cyclic rings The tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics, i.e. they have a wide range of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Hydrogenation – to treat with hydrogen – is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum.
- #4 An aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) is an enzyme that attaches the appropriate amino acid onto its tRNA This is because bacteria actively pump tetracycline into their cytoplasm, even against a concentration gradient, whereas mammalian cells do not. This accounts for the relatively small off-site effect of tetracycline on human cells.
- #5 1. i.e. an organism resistant to one member is usually resistant to all other members of this group. 2. for example Candida albicans and other yeasts, and filamentous fungi, affecting the mouth, upper respiratory tract or gastrointestinal tract, may occur as a result of the suppression of tetracycline-susceptible microorganisms. The tetracyclines are no longer used clinically to the same extent as they were in the past because of the increase in bacterial resistance. Cross-resistance is the tolerance to a usually toxic substance as a result of exposure to a similarly acting substance. This includes acne, cholera, brucellosis, plague, malaria, and syphilis. It is taken by mouth
- #6 Active efflux is a mechanism responsible for moving compounds, like neurotransmitters, toxic substances, and antibiotics, out of the cell; this is considered to be a vital part of xenobiotic metabolism. This mechanism is important in medicine as it can contribute to bacterial antibiotic resistance They block protein synthesis hence preventing bacterial reproduction. Both classes of antibiotics bind to the 30S ribosomal subunit to prevent the amino-acyl tRNA from binding to the A site of the ribosome. However, the glycylcyclines appear to bind more effectively than the tetracyclines.

It has thus been recommended that rifampicin should be combined with another antibiotic, e.g. vancomycin (glycopeptide antibiotic and works by blocking the construction of a cell wall), in the treatment of staphylococcal infections.
