Three CAZ-resistant strains belonging to the gram-negative bacterial species P. aeruginosa, S. marcescens, and K. pneumoniaeand producing IMP-1 metallo-β-lactamase or serine-β-lactamases (SHV-12 or AmpC) were tested. For each IMP-1 producer, a distinct growth-inhibitory zone appeared between the KB disk containing CAZ and the filter disk containing 2-MPA (left column). No change is evident around the two KB disks containing CAZ with or without 2-MPA for each serine β-lactamase producer (right column). Slide 28: Varun C N 28 S John and Balagurunathan R.

It has been proposed that some aminoglycosides prevent the transfer of the peptidyl tRNA from the A-site to the P-site, thus preventing the elongation of the polypeptide chain. Slide 35: Varun C N 35 Fig: Action of enzymes that cause resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics. A, B, and C refer to different chemical groups that can be added by the bacteria to inactivate the antibiotic. Slide 36: Varun C N 36 Resistance to aminoglycosides is by Enzymatic modification AAC (6’) - Mediates resistance to Tobramycin, Gentamycin, Netilimycin and Amikacin AAC (2’’) - Mediates resistance to Tobramycin, Gentamycin, Dibekacin resistance. Altered Ribosomal binding sites Single mutation of S12 protein present in 30S subunit of ribosome Altered aminoglycoside uptake RESISTANCE TO MACROLIDES : RESISTANCE TO MACROLIDES The macrolides (erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, dirithromycin, troleandomycin, etc.) bind reversibly to the 23S rRNA in the 50S subunit.There is evidence that they may inhibit elongation of the protein by the peptidyltransferase, the enzyme that forms peptide bonds between the amino acids. Slide 38: Varun C N 38 Mechanism of resistance Production of enzyme that alter macrolide Active efflux of antibiotic Alteration of ribosomal target The 2 mechanism by which bacteria can alter their ribosomes and acquire resistance have been understood High level resistance because of an altered protein component in domain V of 50S ribosome subunit. This is a single step mutation. E.g.: In M.avium, H.pylori Plasmid mediated macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin B (MLSB) resistance occurs when a single adenine residue within a conserved domain V of nascent 23s RNA of 50S ribosomal unit is methylated. The production of methylases is encoded by a class of genes referred as erm (Erythromycin ribosome methylation) of which more than 40 types are known. Slide 39: Varun C N 39 There are 21 classes of erm known out of which 4 classes is common in pathogenic bacteria. Erm (A) - Seen in MRSA Erm (B) – Seen in streptococci and enterococci Erm (C)- Seen in MSSA Erm (F) - Usually seen in anaerobes *Erm stands for Erythromycin ribosome methylation Resistance mediated by erm can be constitutive or inducible. Bacteria with inducible MLSB resistance, on exposure to inactive methylases undergoes rearrangement that permit ribosome to translate methylases coding sequence. This cause methylation of A2058, which mediates resistance. Such resistance is usually of complex phenotype particularly with erm (B) genes. Constitutive production of methylases generally confers a high level of predictable cross resistance to all MLSB antibiotics. Slide 40: Varun C N 40 Macrolide resistance associated with active efflux is caused by 2 classes of pumps. Plasmid mediated ABC (ATP- Binding Cassette) encoded by the msr (A) gene Protein of major facilitator subfamily (MFS) found in streptococci and enterococci are encoded by a mef (A) gene. A third mechanism is modification of macrolides, by enzymes such as Acetyltransferase, Esterase and Glycosylase which is found in many enterobacteriacae species.

J Postgrad Med 2010;56:182-5 The D test detects inducible clindamycin resistance Slide 43: Varun C N 43 Tetracyclines The tetracyclines (tetracycline, doxycycline, demeclocycline, minocycline, etc.) block bacterial translation by binding reversibly to the 16S rRNA in the 30S subunit and distorting it in such a way that the anticodons of the charged tRNAs cannot align properly with the codons of the mRNA. Slide 44: Varun C N 44 Resistance to tetracyclines: The mechanism described for tetracycline resistance is impaired influx or decreased efflux by an active transport pump Tet (AE) efflux pump is seen in gram negative species which is resistant to all the older types. It is susceptible to Tigecycline. Tet (K) pump is seen in staphylococci which confers resistance only to tetracycline Tet (M) is seen in many gram positive organisms conferring resistance to older tetracyclines.
