Inflammation (from Latin inflammatio) is part of the
complex biological response of body tissues to harmful
stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants,[1]
and is a protective response involving immune cells,
blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The function of
inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury,
clear out necrotic cells and tissues damaged from
the original insult and the inflammatory process, and to
initiate tissue repair.
The classical signs of inflammation are heat, pain, redness,
swelling, and loss of function. Inflammation is a
generic response, and therefore it is considered as a mechanism
of innate immunity, as compared to adaptive immunity,
which is specific for each pathogen.[2] Too little
inflammation could lead to progressive tissue destruction
by the harmful stimulus (e.g. bacteria) and compromise
the survival of the organism. In contrast, chronic
inflammation may lead to a host of diseases, such as hay
fever, periodontitis, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis,
and even cancer (e.g., gallbladder carcinoma). Inflammation
is therefore normally closely regulated by the body.
Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic.
Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to
harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement
of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes)
from the blood into the injured tissues. A series of biochemical
events propagates and matures the inflammatory
response, involving the local vascular system, the
immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue.
Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation,
leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells
present at the site of inflammation, such as mononuclear
cells, and is characterized by simultaneous destruction
and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.
Inflammation is not a synonym for infection. Infection
describes the interaction between the action of microbial
invasion and the reaction of the body’s inflammatory response
— the two components are considered together
when discussing an infection, and the word is used to imply
a microbial invasive cause for the observed inflammatory
reaction. Inflammation on the other hand describes
purely the body’s immunovascular response, whatever the
cause may be. But because of how often the two are
correlated, words ending in the suffix -itis (which refers
to inflammation) are sometimes informally described as
referring to infection. For example, the word urethritis
strictly means only “urethral inflammation”, but clinical

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

DEFINITION Inflammation is a response of
vascularized tissues
to infectious organisms and/or
tissue damage
that brings cells and molecules of
host defence from the circulation to
the sites where they are needed,
in order to eliminate the offending
agents.
7. z
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Acute inflammation
The initial, rapid response to infections and tissue damage is called
acute inflammation.
It typically develops within minutes or hours and is of short duration,
lasting for several hours or a few days;
its main characteristics are the exudation of fluid and plasma proteins
(edema) and the emigration of leukocytes, predominantly neutrophils
(also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes).
When acute inflammation achieves its desired goal of eliminating the
offenders, the reaction subsides.
Acute inflammation is one of the reactions of the type of host defense
known as innate immunity
8. z
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Chronic inflammation
If acute inflammation fails to clear the stimulus, the reaction can
progress to a protracted phase that is called chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation is of longer duration and
is associated with more tissue destruction, the presence of
lymphocytes and macrophages, the proliferation of blood vessels,
and the deposition of connective tissue.
Chronic inflammation is more prominent in the reactions of
adaptive immunity
12. z
HARMFUL EFFECTS OF
INFLAMMATION
Protective inflammatory reactions to infections are often accompanied by
local tissue damage and its associated signs and symptoms (e.g., pain and
functional impairment).
Typically, however, these harmful consequences are self-limited.
In contrast, there are many diseases in which
the inflammatory reaction is misdirected (e.g., against self tissues in autoimmune
diseases),
occurs against normally harmless environmental substances (e.g., in allergies)
Following table gives a list of some common diseases caused due to
inflammation
15. z
CAUSES OF INFLAMMATION
1. Infections - bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic
2. Tissue necrosis – due to ischemia, trauma, physical or chemical
injury
3. Foreign bodies
1. Exogenous - splinters, dirt, sutures
2. Endogenous - urate crystals (in the disease gout),
Cholesterol crystals (in atherosclerosis),
and lipids (in obesity-associated metabolic syndrome)
4. Immune reactions – autoimmune diseases or allergy
17. zz
FIRST STEP IN INFLAMMATION
(RECOGNITION OF
MICROBES/DAMAGED CELLS)
1. Innate immunity recognizes
foreign antigens (microbes)
through receptors on the plasma
membranes of epithelial cells,
dendritic cells, macrophages and
leucocytes
2. Recognition of tissue damage is
through factors that are released
after damage, such as – uric acid
released after DNA break down,
ATP – due to mitochondria
damage. These and such
products activate what are called
inflammasomes (cystosolic
complexes) that release IL-1. This
IL-1 is thought to be responsible
for gout and ATH.

The journey of leukocytes from the vessel lumen to the site
of injury can be divided into sequential phases
A. In the lumen: margination, rolling, and adhesion to endothelium.
B. Migration across the endothelium and vessel wall
C. Migration in the tissues toward a chemotactic stimulus
27. z
A. Margination, rolling, and adhesion to endothelium
Margination
white cells assume a peripheral
position along the endothelial
surface
Rolling
Subsequently, leukocytes adhere
transiently to the endothelium,
detach and bind again, thus rolling
on the vessel wall (Selectins)
Adhesion
The cells finally come to rest at
some point where they adhere
firmly (Integrins)

AGENT
33. z
Neutrophilic lysosomes contain two types of granules
Smaller specific (or secondary) granules contain lysozyme,
collagenase, gelatinase, lactoferrin, plasminogen activator,
histaminase, and alkaline phosphatase.
The larger azurophil (or primary) granules contain myeloperoxidase,
bactericidal factors (lysozyme, defensins), acid hydrolases, and a
variety of neutral proteases (elastase, cathepsin G, nonspecific
collagenases, proteinase 3).
Acid proteases degrade bacteria and debris
Neutral proteases are capable of degrading various extracellular
components, such as collagen, basement membrane, fibrin, elastin, and
cartilage

4. TERMINATION OF RESPONSE
1. Removal of mediators of inflammation - mediators of
inflammation are produced in rapid bursts, only as long as the
stimulus persists, have short half-lives, and are degraded after
their release.
2. Short half life of inflammatory cells – inflammatory cells die
by apoptosis within a few hours after leaving the blood.
3. Stop signals - These include antiinflammatory cytokines,
including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and IL-10, from
macrophages and other cells.
36. z
LEUCOCYTE MEDIATED TISSUE INJURY
Collateral damage: As part of a normal defence reaction against
infectious microbes, when adjacent tissues suffer collateral damage.
Difficult to eradicate infections: In some infections that are difficult to
eradicate, such as tuberculosis and certain viral diseases, the
prolonged host response contributes more to the pathology than does
the microbe itself.
Autoimmunity: When the inflammatory response is inappropriately
directed against host tissues, as in certain autoimmune diseases.
Allergy: When the host reacts excessively against usually harmless
environmental substances, as in allergic diseases, including asthma.
4. TERMINATION OF RESPONSE
38. z
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
The mediators of inflammation are the substances that initiate and
regulate inflammatory reactions.
Some chief mediators with their actions is summarised below. We will
discuss them in detail in slides that follow -
1. Vasoactive amines - mainly histamine and serotonin:
vasodilation and increased vascular permeability
2. Arachidonic acid metabolites (prostaglandins and leukotrienes):
several forms exist and are involved in vascular reactions, leukocyte chemotaxis, and
other reactions of inflammation; antagonized by lipoxins
3. Cytokines:
proteins produced by many cell types; usually act at short range; mediate multiple
effects, mainly in leukocyte recruitment and migration; principal ones in acute
inflammation are TNF, IL-1, and chemokines
INTRODUCTION
39. z
4. Complement system proteins:
Activation of the complement system by microbes or antibodies
leads to the generation of multiple breakdown products, which are
responsible for leukocyte chemotaxis, opsonization, and
phagocytosis of microbes and other particles, and cell killing
5. Kinins:
produced by proteolytic cleavage of precursors; mediate vascular
reaction, pain
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
INTRODUCTION
40. z
Histamine
Richest sources of histamine are the mast cells that are normally
present in the connective tissue adjacent to blood vessels
Released by mast cells in response to variety of stimuli such as –
Heat, cold or trauma
Hypersensitivity (allergy)
Anaphylatoxins (C3a and C5a)
Histamine causes dilation of arterioles and increases the permeability
of venules
Its vasoactive effects are mediated mainly via binding to receptors,
called H1 receptors, on microvascular endothelial cells
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
A. VASOACTIVE AMINES – HISTAMINE AND SEROTONIN
41. z
Serotonin
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a preformed vasoactive
mediator present in platelets and certain neuroendocrine cells
It is also a vasoconstrictor

phospholipids
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
43. z
Cytokines
Cytokines are proteins produced by many cell types
(principally activated lymphocytes, macrophages, and
dendritic cell, but also by endothelial, epithelial, and
connective tissue cells) that mediate and regulate immune
and inflammatory reactions
Following table summarises some chief cytokines involved
in inflammation and their actions
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
46. z
Chemokines are a family of small (8 to 10 kD) proteins that act
primarily as chemo attractants for specific types of leukocytes
Role of chemokines
In acute inflammation
stimulate leukocyte attachment to endothelium
stimulate migration (chemotaxis) of leukocytes
Maintenance of tissue architecture
Some chemokines are produced constitutively in tissues and are sometimes
called homeostatic chemokines.
These organize various cell types in different anatomic regions of the tissues,
such as T and B lymphocytes in discrete areas of the spleen and lymph nodes
D. Chemokines
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
47. z
The complement system is a collection of soluble proteins and
membrane receptors that function mainly in host defence
against microbes and in pathologic inflammatory reactions
The system consists of more than 20 proteins, some of which are
numbered C1 through C9
Complement proteins are present in inactive forms in the plasma,
and many of them are activated to become proteolytic enzymes that
degrade other complement proteins, thus forming an enzymatic
cascade
The critical step in complement activation is the proteolysis of the
third (and most abundant) component, C3

INFLAMMATION
1. SEROUS INFLAMMATION
2. FIBRINOUS INFLAMMATION
3. PURULENT INFLAMMATION
4. ULCERS
52. z
1. Serous inflammation
Serous inflammation is marked by the exudation of cell poor fluid into
spaces created by cell injury or into body cavities lined by the peritoneum,
pleura, or pericardium.
Typically, the fluid in serous inflammation is not infected by destructive
organisms and does not contain large numbers of leukocytes (which tend to
produce purulent inflammation, described later).
In body cavities the fluid may be derived from the plasma (as a result of
increased vascular permeability) or from the secretions of mesothelial cells
(as a result of local irritation); accumulation of fluid in these cavities is called
an effusion. (Effusions also occur in noninflammatory conditions, such as
reduced blood outflow in heart failure, or reduced plasma protein levels in
some kidney and liver diseases.)
The skin blister resulting from a burn or viral infection represents
accumulation of serous fluid within or immediately beneath the damaged
epidermis of the skin
MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
53. z
With greater increase in vascular permeability, large molecules
such as fibrinogen pass out of the blood, and fibrin is formed
and deposited in the extracellular space.
A fibrinous exudate is characteristic of inflammation in the lining
of body cavities, such as the meninges, pericardium and pleura.
Conversion of the fibrinous exudate to scar tissue (organization)
within the pericardial sac leads to obliteration of the pericardial
space.
2. Fibrinous inflammation
MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
54. z
Purulent inflammation is characterized by the production of
pus, an exudate consisting of neutrophils, the liquefied
debris of necrotic cells, and edema fluid
Abscesses are localized collections of purulent
inflammatory tissue caused by suppuration buried in a tissue,
an organ, or a confined space
3. Purulent inflammation (Abscess)
MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
55. z
An ulcer is a local defect, or excavation, of the surface of an
organ or tissue that is produced by the sloughing
(shedding) of inflamed necrotic tissue
Ulcerations are best exemplified by peptic ulcer of the stomach
or duodenum, in which acute and chronic inflammation coexist.
During the acute stage there is intense polymorphonuclear
infiltration and vascular dilation in the margins of the defect.
With chronicity, the margins and base of the ulcer develop
fibroblastic proliferation, scarring, and the accumulation of
lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells.
4. Ulcers
MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
61. z
CAUSES
Persistent infections –
by microorganisms that are difficult to eradicate, such as mycobacteria and
certain viruses, fungi, and parasites. These organisms often evoke an immune
reaction called delayed-type hypersensitivity. The inflammatory response
sometimes takes a specific pattern called a granulomatous reaction
Autoimmunity –
Autoantigens evoke a self-perpetuating immune reaction that results in chronic
tissue damage and inflammation; examples of such diseases are rheumatoid
arthritis and multiple sclerosis
Allergy –
Immune responses against common environmental substances are the cause of
allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma
Prolonged exposure to toxic agents -
Eg silicosis, atherosclerosis

1. Infiltration with mononuclear
cells, which include macrophages,
lymphocytes, and plasma cells
2. Tissue destruction, induced by the
persistent offending agent or by the
inflammatory cells
3. Attempts at healing by connective
tissue replacement of damaged
tissue, accomplished by
angiogenesis (proliferation of small
blood vessels) and, in particular,
fibrosis

spleen and lymph nodes (called sinus
histiocytes),
central nervous system (microglial cells), and
lungs (alveolar macrophages)
MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
67. z
The dominant cells in most chronic inflammatory reactions
are macrophages, which contribute to the reaction by
secreting cytokines and growth factors that act on various
cells,
by destroying foreign invaders and tissues,
and by activating other cells, notably T lymphocytes
Macrophages
MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
68. z
There are two major pathways of macrophage activation,
called classical and alternative
MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
Macrophages
Produced by T
lymphocytes
69. z
Microbes and other environmental antigens activate T
lymphocytes, which amplify and propagate chronic
inflammation
There are three subsets of CD4+ T cells that secrete different types
of cytokines and elicit different types of inflammation.
TH1 cells produce the cytokine IFN-γ, which activates macrophages by
the classical pathway.
TH2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which recruit and activate
eosinophils and are responsible for the alternative pathway of
macrophage activation.
TH17 cells secrete IL-17 and other cytokines, which induce the
secretion of chemokines responsible for recruiting neutrophils (and
monocytes) into the reaction.
Lymphocytes
MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
71. z
Eosinophils are abundant in immune reactions mediated by IgE
and in parasitic infections
Mast cells release mediators, such as histamine and
prostaglandins
Neutrophils play a part in acute on chronic reactions –
In osteomyelitis, a neutrophilic exudate can persist for many
months.
Neutrophils are also important in the chronic damage induced in
lungs by smoking

GRANULOMATOUS
INFLAMMATION
Granulomatous inflammation is a form
of chronic inflammation characterized
by collections of activated
macrophages, often with T
lymphocytes, and sometimes
associated with central necrosis
The activated macrophages may
develop abundant cytoplasm and begin
to resemble epithelial cells, and are
called epithelioid cells.
Some activated macrophages may
fuse, forming multinucleate giant
cells (Langhan’s)
This is a type of immune granuloma –
produced when infecting agent is difficult to
eradicate
74. zz
FOREIGN BODY
GRANULOMA
incited by relatively inert
foreign bodies
foreign body granulomas
form around materials such
as talc (associated with
intravenous drug abuse)
sutures, or other fibres that
are large enough to
preclude phagocytosis by a
macrophage

SYSTEMIC
EFFECTS OF
INFLAMMATION
Fever: cytokines (TNF, IL-1) stimulate
production of prostaglandins in hypothalamus
Production of acute-phase proteins: C-
reactive protein, others; synthesis stimulated
by cytokines (IL-6, others) acting on liver cells
Leucocytosis: cytokines (colony-stimulating
factors) stimulate production of leukocytes
from precursors in the bone marrow
In some severe infections, septic shock: fall
in blood pressure, disseminated intravascular
coagulation, metabolic abnormalities; induced
by high levels of TNF and other cytokines

Repair Vs Regeneration
Regeneration
some tissues are able to replace the damaged components and
essentially return to a normal state; this process is called regeneration
Tissues whose cells retain the capacity to proliferate, for example, in
the rapidly dividing epithelia of the skin and intestines, and the liver can
undergo regeneration
Repair (scar formation)
If the injured tissues are incapable of complete restitution, or if the
supporting structures of the tissue are severely damaged, repair
occurs by the laying down of connective (fibrous) tissue
81. z
Concept of Regeneration
Regeneration of the liver is a classic example
of repair by regeneration.
It is triggered by cytokines and growth factors
produced in response to loss of liver mass and
inflammation.
In different situations, regeneration may occur
by
1. proliferation of surviving hepatocytes or
2. repopulation from progenitor cells (stem cells),
these progenitor cells have been called oval
cells because of the shape of their nuclei. Some
of these progenitor cells reside in specialized
niches called canals of Hering
82. z
Repair (by connective tissue deposition;
Scar formation)
Scar formation is a response that “patches” rather than restores
the tissue
The term scar is most often used in connection to wound healing
in the skin, but may also be used to describe the replacement of
parenchymal cells in any tissue by collagen, as in the heart after
myocardial infarction
83. z
Steps in repair
1. Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood
vessels, which supply nutrients and oxygen
needed to support the repair process
2. Formation of granulation tissue
Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and
deposition of loose connective tissue, together with
the vessels and interspersed leukocytes, form
granulation tissue.
The term granulation tissue derives from its pink,
soft, granular gross appearance, such as that seen
beneath the scab of a skin wound.
3. Remodelling of connective tissue
Maturation and reorganization of the connective
tissue produce the stable fibrous scar
84. z
Skin wound healing
This is a process that involves both epithelial regeneration and the formation of
connective tissue scar
Based on the nature and size of the wound, the healing of skin wounds is said to
occur by first or second intention
1. Healing by First Intention
When the injury involves only the epithelial layer, the principal mechanism of repair is
epithelial regeneration
One of the simplest examples of this type of wound repair is the healing of a clean,
uninfected surgical incision approximated by surgical. The incision causes only focal
disruption of epithelial basement membrane continuity and death of relatively few
epithelial and connective tissue cells.
85. z
Skin wound healing
2. Healing by Second Intention
When cell or tissue loss is more extensive, such as in large
wounds, abscesses, ulceration, and ischemic necrosis (infarction)
in parenchymal organs, the repair process involves a combination
of regeneration and scarring
87. z
Healing by first intention
Steps
1st 24 hours –
Wounding causes the rapid activation of coagulation pathways, which results in the
formation of a blood clot on the wound surface. As dehydration occurs at the external
surface of the clot, a scab covering the wound is formed.
Neutrophils are seen at the incision margin. They release proteolytic enzymes that
begin to clear the debris.
Epithelial cell proliferation starts at the edge of the wound
3-7 days –
Neutrophils have been largely replaced by macrophages, and granulation tissue
progressively invades the incision space
Collagen fibers and fibroblasts are now evident at the incision margins.
Epithelial cell proliferation continues, forming a covering approaching the normal
thickness of the epidermis.
88. z
Healing by first intention
Steps
Weeks –
The epidermis recovers its normal thickness
The process of “blanching” begins, accomplished by increasing
collagen deposition within the incisional scar and the regression of
vascular channels
By the end of the first month, the scar comprises a cellular connective
tissue largely devoid of inflammatory cells and covered by an
essentially normal epidermis. However, the dermal appendages
destroyed in the line of the incision are permanently lost.
The tensile strength of the wound increases with time due to collagen
cross linking
89. z
Healing by second intention
Steps
Secondary healing differs from primary healing in several respects:
The fibrin clot is larger, and there is more exudate and necrotic debris in the
wounded area.
Inflammation is more intense because large tissue defects have a greater
volume of necrotic debris, exudate, and fibrin that must be removed.
Larger defects require a greater volume of granulation tissue to fill in the gaps
and provide the underlying framework for the regrowth of tissue epithelium. A
greater volume of granulation tissue generally results ina greater mass of scar
tissue.
Wound contraction generally occurs in large surface wounds. The contraction
helps to close the wound by decreasing the gap between its dermal edges and
by reducing the wound surface area. Contraction is mediated by a network of
myofibroblasts, which are modified fibroblasts exhibiting many of the
ultrastructural and functional features of contractile smooth muscle cells.

Abnormalities in tissue repair
Complications in tissue repair can arise from abnormalities in
any of the basic components of the process, including
1. Dehiscence and Ulceration
Dehiscence - Dehiscence or rupture of a wound occurs most
frequently after abdominal surgery and is due to increased
abdominal pressure
Ulceration - Wounds can ulcerate because of inadequate
vascularization during healing. For example, lower extremity
wounds in individuals with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular
disease
91. z
Abnormalities in tissue repair
2. Excessive formation of the repair components
Hypertrophic scar - accumulation of excessive amounts of collagen may give
rise to a raised scar known as a hypertrophic scar
Keloid - if the scar tissue grows beyond the boundaries of the original wound
and does not regress, it is called a keloid
Exuberant granulation - consisting of the formation of excessive amounts of
granulation tissue, which protrudes above the level of the surrounding skin and
blocks reepithelialisation (proud flesh)
Desmoids, or aggressive fibromatoses - Exuberant proliferation of fibroblasts,
these neoplasms lie in the interface between benign and malignant
3. Contractures
Exaggeration of process of contraction during healing is prone to develop in
palms and soles and thorax. Contractures are commonly seen after serious
burns and can compromise the movement of joints.
