Chemotherapy involves treating infections with drugs that kill or suppress pathogens. This document discusses the general considerations of chemotherapy including definitions, classifications of antimicrobials, and problems that can arise with their use. It covers classifications based on the type of organism targeted, source of the drug, spectrum of activity, mechanism of action, and chemical structure. It also discusses issues like resistance, choice of drugs, combined therapy, and prophylactic use.

Antibiotic originally was intended to cure and treat disease. However, because of lack of proper education and awareness campaign, antibiotics now are widely abuse and misuse. Such abuse and misuse of antibiotics today are the culprit why we have emergence of new diseases and Bacterial Resistance.

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city
2. CHEMOTHERAPY
General Consideration
PART I
• Definition/ Terminology
• Classifications of Antimicrobials
• Problems that arise with the use of
antimicrobial agents (AMAs)
PART II
• Antimicrobial Resistance
• Choice of an AMAs
• Combined use of AMAs
• Prophylactic use of AMAs
3.
4. Definition / Terminology
Chemotherapy:
Treatment of systemic/topical
infections/infestations
with specific drug that
kill/suppress the
invading pathogen (living or multiplying)
without significantly affecting the host.
Selective toxicity: A drug that kills harmful
microbes without damaging the host
5.
6. Definition / Terminology
Antimicrobial agent :
Drugs effective against micro-organisms,
Naturally or synthetically derived
Antibacterial agent:
Drugs effective against bacteria
Antibiotics :
Obtained from fermentation of microorganisms
Commensals :
Micro-organisms that are parasites without
causing disease (may cause disease if host is
immuno-compromised)
9. Higher forms
Gram + ve, branching filamentous
• Actinomycetes
A. Israelli- Cervico-facial, abdominal
Nocardia- Pulmonary, brain abscess
• Streptomycetes
Non pathogenic
Useful as source of antibiotics
Lower forms

Diplococci (pair)
• Bacilli
Straight rod shape
• Vibrios

15. Static [Bacteriostatic, Fungi-static ]
• Drugs that arrest the growth / replication of micro-
organism (bacteria or fungi)
• Thus arrest or limit the spread of infection
• These agents are adequate or sufficient to deal with
(to treat) uncomplicated infections. (Here host
defenses usually help to eradicate organisms).
• But in neutropenic individual, bacteriostatic drugs
are ineffective.
• Sulfonamide, Macrolide, Tetracycline,
chloramphenicol
16. Cidal [Bacteriocidal, fungicidal]
• Drugs that kill or irreversibly damage the multiplying
organisms (bacteria or fungi).
• Thus total number of viable organisms decreases.
• These drugs are preferred for the management of
complicated infections. (Tuberculosis, meningitis,
endocarditis)
• Preferred for treating the infection when host
defense is impaired.
• Penicillin, cephalosporin, aminoglycosides, co-
trimoxazole,fluroquinolones
23. Antimicrobial Spectrum
Narrow Spectrum
• Antimicrobial agents that are
active against single or
limited group of pathogens
are said to have Narrow
spectrum.
• Anti-tubercular drugs are
effective against M. tuberculae.
• Penicillin G & cloxacillin
effective against gram + ve
organisms.
Broad Spectrum
• Antimicrobial agents that are
active against a wide range of
pathogens (Gram +ve, Gram –ve,
Spirochetes, Chlamydia, Rickettsia)
are said to have Broad
spectrum.
• Broad spectrum antibiotics
likely to cause super
infections.
Extended spectrum – Drugs effective against Gram +ve & Gram – ve
Ex- Amoxicillin , Ampicillin
34. Problems arise with the use of AMAs
Local irritancy /systemic Toxicity
Hypersensitivity reactions
Drug Resistance
Super infection
Nutritional deficiencies
Masking of an infection
35. Practically all AMAs are capable of producing
Hypersensitivity Reactions.
Sometimes unpredictable and unrelated to
dose
Occurs in wide range from rash to
anaphylactic shock
Commonly involved – penicillin,
cephalosporin, sulfonamides, fluroquinolone
36. Some of the B complex group vitamins & Vit K
is synthesized by intestinal flora (gut flora) is
utilized by man
Prolonged use of antimicrobials alter this
flora result in vitamin deficiencies
Neomycin causes morphological
abnormalities in the intestinal mucosa which
can produce diarrhea and malabsorption
syndrome.
37. A short course of AMAs may be sufficient to treat
one infection but only briefly suppress another
one contracted concurrently.
The other infection will be masked initially, only
manifest later in sever form
Syphilis masked by single dose of penicillin
which is sufficient to treat gonorrhoea.
Tuberculosis is masked by short course of
streptomycin – sufficient for a minor respiratory
infection.
38. The native indigenous bacterial flora present in
GIT& oral cavity provides resistance to
colonization & limits the growth of other
pathogenic flora
Antibiotic therapy markedly reduces this flora
allowing invasion by opportunistic organisms
such as proteus, staphylococci & pseudomonas
This is termed as superinfecton.
39. Superinfection manifests as antibiotic
induced diarrhea & colitis
Common Superinfections
due to clostridium difficile or candida
lead to pseudomembranous colitis (PMC)-
bloody diarrhoea, abdominal distention, pain,
dehydration, blood leukocytosis.
Drugs showing – amoycillin, third generation
cephalosporin, clindamycin.
40. Treatment given for superinfection (PMC)
Metronidazole 500 mg oral tds x 10 days
OR
Vancomycin 125 mg qid x 10 days
OR
Probiotics (to re-establish colonic flora ie lactobacilli & S.
boulardii)
