ANTIMICROBIALS AND ITS’ RESISTANCE
The magic bullet • Antibiotics revolutionised medicine
• The first antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1929
• It was later isolated by Florey and Chain
• It was not extensively used until the World War II when it was used to treat war wounds
• After World War II many more antibiotics were developed
• Today about 150 types are used
• Most are inhibitors of the protein synthesis, blocking the 70S ribosome, which is characteristic of prokaryotes

Resistance
• It took less than 20 years for, bacteria to show signs of resistance
• Staphylococcus aureus, which causes blood poisoning and pneumonia, started to show resistance in the 1950s
• Today there are different strains of S. aureus resistant to every form of antibiotic in use

Mechanism of developing resistance in a bacteria
Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance Method Examples
Inactivation: enzymatic inhibition
β-lactamase
Target site modification Penicillin binding protein (β lactams), Ribosomal proteins (Aminoglycosides, Macrolides), Cell wall peptidoglycan (glycopeptide resistant enterococci)
Cell wall permeability Reduced permeability (Gram –ve bacteria), Blocked influx (Imipenem resistant pseudomonas), Reduced uptake (Tetracyclines)
Active expulsion Tetracyclines in enterobacter
Metabolic Development of alternative target (Sulfonamide & Trimethoprim resistant), Alternative Pathway (MRSA)
Multiple resistance • It seems that some resistance was already naturally present in
bacterial populations
• The presence of antibiotics in their environment in higher concentrations increased the pressure by natural selection
• Resistant bacteria that survived, rapidly multiplied
• They passed their resistant genes on to other bacteria (both disease causing pathogens and non-pathogens)
© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS
Transposons & Integrons • Resistance genes are often associated with transposons, genes that
easily move from one bacterium to another
• Many bacteria also possess integrons, pieces of DNA that accumulate new genes
• Gradually a strain of a bacterium can build up a whole range of resistance genes
• This is multiple resistance
• These may then be passed on in a group to other strains or other species
© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS
Mechanism of Transferring the resistance to other bacteria
Antibiotics promote resistance • If a patient taking a course of antibiotic treatment does not
complete it
• Or forgets to take the doses regularly,
• Then resistant strains get a chance to build up
• The antibiotics also kill innocent bystanders bacteria which are non-pathogens
• This reduces the competition for the resistant pathogens
• The use of antibiotics also promotes antibiotic resistance in non-pathogens too
• These non-pathogens may later pass their resistance genes on to pathogens
© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS
Resistance gets around
• When antibiotics are used on a person, the numbers of antibiotic resistant bacteria increase in other members of the family
• In places where antibiotics are used extensively e.g. hospitals and farms antibiotic resistant strains increase in numbers

WHAT DRIVES ANTIMICROBIAL
RESISTANCE?
What drives antimicrobial resistance?
• Inappropriate and irrational use of medicines
• Patients not taking the full course of a prescribed antimicrobial
• When poor quality antimicrobials are used, resistant microorganisms can emerge and spread.
Underlying factors that drive AMR include: • Inadequate national commitment
• Ill-defined accountability
• Insufficient engagement of communities;
• Weak or absent surveillance and monitoring systems;
• Inadequate systems to ensure quality and uninterrupted supply of medicines
Underlying factors that drive AMR include: • Inappropriate and irrational use of medicines in animal
husbandry:
• Poor infection prevention and control practices;
• Depleted arsenals of diagnostics, medicines and vaccines as well as insufficient research and development on new products.
WHY ARE WE CONCERNED?
Why is antimicrobial resistance a global concern?
• AMR kills
Infections caused by resistant microorganisms often fail to respond to the standard treatment, resulting in prolonged illness and greater risk of death.
• AMR hampers the control of infectious diseases
AMR reduces the effectiveness of treatment because patients remain infectious for longer, thus potentially spreading resistant microorganisms to others.
Why is antimicrobial resistance a global concern?
• AMR threatens a return to the pre-antibiotic era
Many infectious diseases risk becoming uncontrollable and could derail the progress made towards reaching the targets of the health-related United Nations Millennium Development Goals set for 2015.
• AMR increases the costs of health care
When infections become resistant to first-line medicines, more expensive therapies must be used. The longer duration of illness and treatment, often in hospitals, increases health-care costs and the financial burden to families and societies.
Why is antimicrobial resistance a global concern? • AMR jeopardizes health-care gains to society
The achievements of modern medicine are put at risk by AMR. Without effective antimicrobials for care and prevention of infections, the success of treatments such as organ transplantation, cancer chemotherapy and major surgery would be compromised.
• AMR threatens health security, and damages trade and economies
The growth of global trade and travel allows resistant microorganisms to be spread rapidly to distant countries and continents.
WHAT IS GLOBAL SITUATION?
• Antimicrobial resistance is both a natural phenomenon and a man made major global threat to public health
• Through replication and conjugation by “jumping”
plasmids
• Observed soon after introduction of penicillin
Global trends: Infectious diseases (SEAR)
• Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common causative agent of pneumonias in children and adults in Asia.
• Till the1980s, almost all isolates of this organism used to be susceptible to penicillin.
• In 2006, almost 69 percent isolates of this bacterium were found to be penicillin resistant.
Global trends: Infectious diseases (SEAR)
• Typhoid and paratyphoid fever continue to be important causes of illness and death, particularly among children and adolescents in the SEA Region.
• Shortly after the emergence of multidrug-resistant S. Typhi in this Region, case fatality rates approaching 10 per cent (close to 12.8% recorded in pre-antibiotic era) were reported.
Global trends: Infectious diseases (SEAR)
• More than 50 percent isolates of Staphylococcus aureus in hospital settings are now methicillin resistant.
• 48 per cent patients with bacteraemia due to resistant S. aureus died. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a major problem in hospital-associated infections in almost all countries in the SEA Region.
Global trends: Infectious diseases (SEAR)
• Multiresistant klebsiellae, Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter species have given new dimensions to the problem of hospital-associated infections.
• A. baumannii has become an important pathogen in intensive care units. In a study done , mortality in admitted patients due to imipenem-resistant
• A. baumannii was 52 per cent as compared to 19 per cent in those who were infected with the sensitive variant.
Regional trends: Health implications
• Multidrug resistance is commonly found
• Need to “underpin” treatment choice with laboratory tests
• Need for time-series to determine trends
Antimicrobial resistance is increasing in the Region
Wide availability of antimicrobials
Widespread use of new generation antimicrobials
Global trends: Infectious diseases
• Acute respiratory infections 3.5 million killed globally
• Influenza and pneumonia
• Diarrhoea 2.2 million killed globally
• E. coli, shigellosis, cholera
• Lack of testing for antibiotic sensitivity during outbreaks
Infectious diseases still account for 45% of deaths in low-income countries
Global trends: Infectious diseases
• HIV/AIDS
• Resistance to multidrug therapy • Malaria
• Chloroquine no longer effective in 81 of 92 countries • Tuberculosis
• ? 20% of resistant new tuberculosis cases are multidrug resistant
• Cost implications
Global trends: Nosocomial infections
• Intensity of use of antimicrobials in hospitals
• Increasing resistance of highly virulent strains (Staphylococcus aureus)
• Hospital acquired infections (mainly drug resistant microbes) account for significant death rates and numbers
• 40 000 deaths/year in USA
Global trends: Food production
• About half of all antibiotics produced are used for farming
• Reports indicate that 50% of human antimicrobial resistance is caused by growth promoters in livestock
• Where growth promoters are phased out, antimicrobial resistance in livestock drops dramatically (Denmark)
Medicines: (Ir) rational use !
• 25%–75% of antibiotic prescriptions inappropriate
• Empirical treatment, lack of diagnostic services
• Lack of targeted education
• 50%–90% bought privately from community pharmacy;
• half for 1-day treatment
• Only half of 102 countries surveyed regulate drug promotion

Bangladesh antibiotic use • General lack of information:
• No consumption analysis possible due to manual inventory control systems throughout the health system
• 47% of EDCL sales was on antibiotics, waiting for data from CMSD.
• Dhaka Medical College Hospital • Pharmacist estimates 30% of the budget is spent on antibiotics
• Quick OPD survey showed 74% of patients received an antibiotic and that 31% had to purchase medicines outside
• No prescription audit – 1 study in literature review: • Inappropriate use of antibiotics in children <5 years pre-IMCI in 2000
was 48-72% & post-IMCI in 2005 was 9% (Arifeen et al, WHO Bull. 2005)
• Role of Pharmaceutical companies:
BIRDEM Hospital: October 2008 to March
2009 (total 6month period).
• Study design: Prospective, descriptive study.

BANGLADESH: WHAT COULD WE DO?
• Restrict some antibiotics to prescription-only
• Not to allow drug representatives in govt. health facilities
• Expand role of Drug Selection Committee to Drug and Therapeutics committee overseeing regular program of drug use evaluation in each district, or specialty
• Start Drug Information Centre & Drug Bulletin

BANGLADESH: WHAT COULD WE DO?
• Introduce prescription audit of antibiotic use & AMR containment measures in UG and PG curricula
• Decrease crowding to improve consultation time
• Use health promotion units to inform communities & patients about not needing antibiotics for cough-colds, etc
• Lobby for special unit in MOH to oversee/monitor drug use
• Develop a national strategy for containment of AMR
Recommendations
For Member States in the South-East Asia Region Member States should:
1. Establish a national alliance against antimicrobial resistance with all key stakeholders as its members. The implementation of national efforts to prevent and contain antimicrobial resistance should be through a multisectorial national steering committee headed by the senior-most health executive and facilitated through advisory/ expert groups.
2. Designate a national focal point for antimicrobial resistance in the Ministry of Health.
For Member States in the South-East Asia Region 3. Institute appropriate surveillance mechanisms in the health
and veterinary sectors to generate reliable and actionable epidemiological information including baseline data and trends on antimicrobial resistance, utilization of antimicrobial agents and impact on the economy and health through designated national and regional reference centers.
4. Discourage non-therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary, agriculture and fishery practices as growth-promoting agents.
For Member States in the South-East Asia Region 5. Develop national standard treatment and infection control
guidelines and ensure their application at all levels of health care and veterinary services through training, continuous educational activities and establishment of functional drugs and therapeutic committees and hospital infection control committees in health facilities (with the focus on proven, cost-effective intervention such as isolation, hand washing etc).
6. Undertake operational research for better understanding of the technical and behavioural aspects of prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance and utilize the outcomes of these research studies/interventions in policy and programme development/ improvement in the national context
For Member States in the South-East Asia Region 7. Launch educational and awareness programmes for
communities and different categories of health care professionals.
8. Strengthen communicable diseases control programmes to reduce disease burden and accord priority to the discipline of infectious diseases in medical education and health services.
For the World Health Organization
• WHO should:
1. Undertake advocacy with national authorities to establish national alliances against antimicrobial resistance;
2. Develop and disseminate generic protocols to facilitate generation of comparable epidemiological data on antimicrobial resistance and utilization of antimicrobials;
3. Facilitate cooperation between various players (government agencies, professionals, academia, NGOs, INGOs etc) to enhance synergy between their actions and to obviate duplication of efforts;
4. Develop generic IEC material to create awareness amongst communities and obtain their active participation in the fight against AMR;
For the World Health Organization
5. Through its WHO Collaborating Centre on AMR, collate and share global data and regional experiences on all aspects of antimicrobial resistance; The WHO CC should be supported to act as a Regional Clearing Centre and to coordinate multicentric studies in the Region;
6. Document and disseminate experiences gained within the Region and lessons learnt in combating AMR;
7. Support operational research on various aspects of antimicrobial resistance;
and
8. Organize regional meetings on a regular basis for exchange of experiences within the Region.
Take home MESSAGE……. • Antimicrobial resistance control is not an option, it is a must
for Health and economic incentive
• Implementation of comprehensive, integrated strategies involving all key partners will:
• Lead to control of antimicrobial resistance development
• Improve the quality of health services; antimicrobial resistance control as a “proxy indicator” for an effective essential drugs program.
