• Sites of Infection.
• Route and Mode of Invasion of Tuberculosis.
• Pathophysiology and Symptoms of Tuberculosis .
• Pharmacological management of Tuberculosis.
• MDR in Tuberculosis and its Causes and mechanism of resistance development.

3. History Of Tuberculosis
• Tuberculosis in humans can be traced back to 9000 years ago in Atlit Yam city in
Israel.
• Tuberculosis is found in remains of mother & child buried together .
• The earliest written mentions of Tuberculosis in India were 3300 years ago.
• In 1600 -1800 AD Tuberculosis caused 25% of deaths alone in Europe.
• On 24 march 1882 Hermann Heinrich Robert Koch was the first scientist to isolate
the Tubercle Bacillus.
4. Introduction
• Tuberculosis also known as TB.
• Tuberculosis is chronic granulomatous infection caused by Mycobacterium
Tuberculosis .
• Tuberculosis is one the leading cause of death from infectious diseases around the
world .
• Most often affects the lungs.
• Tuberculosis spreads through the air when infected people cough, sneeze or spit.
5. • Untreated Tuberculosis cases can transmit diseases to at least 10 to 15 people
in a year.
• Contacts of an active case are at 10 to 60 times higher risk of developing
the disease.
6. Sites , Route and Mode of Invasion
• Bacilli enters via inhalation route.
• Gets lodged in lungs primely and spread through out the body over time.
• Predominantly affect the lungs ,causing pulmonary Tuberculosis.
• Common extrapulmonary Tuberculosis sites are
1. Lymph nodes
2. Bones
3. Intestine
4. Genitourinary tract
5. Meninges
7. Pathophysiology and Symptoms of
Tuberculosis
• After the entry of bacilli they are engulfed by macrophages and reaches Hilar lymph
nodes this is called as primary stage.
• In second stage in order to restrict spread of infection T cells attempt to contain the
infection by forming granulomas .
• In third stage bacilli escapes from the primary focus and infect other organs in
individuals with weaker immune system .
• The most severe form is miliary Tuberculosis ,which can affect the whole body
,organs including Liver and Spleen.
9. Symptoms and Diagnosis
It is characterized by prolonged purulent cough
with sputum blood may or may not be present .
• Evening rise of fever .
• Loss of weight .
• Muscle weakness .
• Loss of appetite for more than 2 weeks .
Tb is diagnosed by chest x- ray and sputum microscopy .
For testing 2 days sputum testing is most widely used method .
Liquid probe assay and liquid culture media are also some other methods available .
10. Multi Drug Resistance in Tuberculosis
• Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). A TB patient, whose biological specimen is
resistant to both :
• H and R with or without resistance to other first-line anti-TB drugs.
• MDR-TB patients may have additional resistance to any/all FQ or any other anti-TB
drug
11. Causes of Multi Drug Resistance in
Tuberculosis
• The resistance is caused by a genetic mutation that makes a drug ineffective against the mutant bacilli.
• Some mechanisms of drug resistance include:
1. Cell wall: The cell wall of M. tuberculosis (TB) contains complex lipid molecules which act as a barrier to
stop drugs from entering the cell.
2. Drug modifying & inactivating enzymes: The TB genome codes for enzymes (proteins) that inactivate
drug molecules. These enzymes are usually phosphorylate, acetylate, or adenylate drug compounds.
3. Drug efflux systems: The TB cell contains molecular systems that actively pump drug molecules out of
the cell.
4. Mutations: Spontaneous mutations in the TB genome can alter proteins which are the target of drugs,
making the bacteria drug-resistant.
12. Goals of MDR TB treatment
• Render the patient non-infectious, break the chain of transmission and
decrease pool of infection.
• Decrease TB deaths and related comorbidity by ensuring relapse-free cure.
• Minimize & prevent development and amplification of drug resistance.
14. Mechanism of Resistance development in
MDR - Tuberculosis
• Mechanisms of drug resistance include:
1. Cell wall: The cell wall of M. tuberculosis (TB) contains complex lipid molecules which act as a barrier to
stop drugs from entering the cell.
2. Drug modifying & inactivating enzymes: The Tuberculosis genome codes for enzymes (proteins) that
inactivate drug molecules. These enzymes are usually phosphorylate, acetylate, or adenylate drug
compounds.
3. Drug efflux systems: The Tuberculosis cell contains molecular systems that actively pump drug molecules
out of the cell.
4. Mutations: Spontaneous mutations in the Tuberculosis genome can alter proteins which are the target of
drugs, making the bacteria drug-resistant.
CNTD……..
15. One example is a mutation in the rpoB gene, which encodes the beta subunit of
the bacterium's RNA polymerase enzyme. In non-resistant Tuberculosis, rifampin
binds the beta subunit of RNA polymerase and disrupts transcription elongation.
Mutation in the rpoB gene changes the sequence of amino acids and eventual
conformation, or arrangement, of the beta subunit. In this case, rifampin can no
longer bind or prevent transcription, and the bacterium is resistant.
16. • Other mutations make the bacterium resistant to other drugs. For example, there are
many mutations that confer resistance to isoniazid (INH), including in the
genes katG, inhA, ahpC and others. Amino acid replacements in the NADH binding
site of InhA apparently result in INH resistance by preventing the inhibition of
mycolic acid biosynthesis, which the bacterium uses in its cell wall.
• Mutations in the katG gene make the enzyme catalase peroxidase unable to convert
INH to its biologically active form. Hence, INH is ineffective and the bacterium is
resistant. The discovery of new molecular targets is essential to overcome drug-
resistance problems
17. Prevention Of MDR in Tuberculosis
• Drug resistance cannot be addressed by mere diagnosis and treatment of
DR- Tuberculosis.
• Basic Tuberculosis diagnostic and treatment services should receive priority.
• Systems for early detection and treatment of DR- Tuberculosis should be
integrated into existing Tuberculosis services and the general health system.
• Health-care facilities and congregate settings should be provided with proper
infection control measures.
• Transmission should be prevented by addressing non-specific determinants like
access to care, comorbidities and awareness.
18. Drugs used in management of MDR Tuberculosis
First line drugs Group 1 (oral) Isoniazid (INH/H),
Rifampicin (R),Pyrazinamide (Z),
Ethambutol (E)
Second line drugs Group 2 (injectables) Streptomycin (S) , Capreomycin
Amikacin , Kanamycin
Group 3 (Fluoroquinolones) Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin
Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin
Group 4 (oral) Cycloserine , Rifabutin
Rifapentine , Ethionamide
PAS ,Terizidone , Prothionamide
Group 5 (reserve drugs) Bedaquiline , Clarithromycin
Clofazimine, Linezolid
Amoxycillin+clavulanic acid
Imipenem/ Cilastatin
19. Isoniazid (INH/H)
• INH inhibits the synthesis of mycolic acid ,as it is needed for cell wall synthesis.
• INH is a prodrug and mycobacterial enzyme catalase peroxidase converts it to its
active form to block , mycolic acid synthesis.
• INH is bactericidal to actively growing tubercle bacilli.
• INH is a long acting drug in ATT .
• INH is ATT drug having activity only against M tuberculosis and also against atypical
mycobacteria ,M Kansai.
20. Isoniazid (INH/H)
Mechanism of action
• Isoniazid is a prodrug and must be activated by bacterial catalase.
• activation is associated with reduction of the mycobacterial ferric Kat G
catalase-peroxidase by hydrazine and reaction with oxygen to form an
oxy ferrous enzyme complex. Once activated, isoniazid inhibits the
synthesis of mycolic acids, an essential component of the bacterial cell
wall.
• Specifically isoniazid inhibits Inh A, the enoyl reductase
from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, by forming a covalent adduct with the
NAD cofactor. It is the INH-NAD adduct that acts as a slow, tight-binding
competitive inhibitor of Inh A.

23. Rifampicin: R
• Rifampicin is a semisynthetic derivative of a macrocyclic antibiotic rifamycin.
• MOA – It binds to RNA polymerase and inhibits bacterial DNA dependent RNA
polymerase so that it can not synthesis new RNA
24. Mechanism of Resistance development in
Rifampicin
• Resistance in Rifampicin is a result of point mutation .
• Mutation occurs in rpoB gene .
• rpoB gene is present Beta subunits of RNA polymerase.
• This mutation in rpoB gene prevents the binding of drug to RNA
polymerase.
• Hence if used alone resistance develops rapidly.

• Also its inclusion has led to reduction in risk of relapse.
27. Mechanism of Action and Resistance
development in Pyrazinamide
• Drug enters in bacilli by passive diffusion an is converted into pyazinoic acid by
pyrazinamidase enzyme .
• Pyazinoic acid is its active metabolite which inhibits Mycobacterial fatty acid
synthase-I enzyme .
• synthase-I enzyme deficiency causes disruption in cell wall synthesis of
mycobacterium.
• Mutation in the gene (pcnA) that encodes for pyrazinamidase enzyme causes
resistance .
