6. What is an Antibiotic?
Antibiotic is a chemical substance produced by a
microorganism that inhibits the growth of or kills
other microorganisms.
Antimicrobial agent is a chemical substance
derived from a biological source or produced
by chemical synthesis that kills or inhibits the
growth of microorganisms.

yield a peak body fluid concentration 3-5 times higher than the
MIC
or
MIC x 4 = dosage to obtain peak achievable concentration

Indications for obtaining cultures
✓Patient who has received treatment for three days without
improvement
✓postoperative wound infection
✓recurrent infection
✓actinomycosis is suspected
✓Osteomyelitis is present
51. ➢Broth dilution susceptability test using a micro dilution plate-
determine quantitative result.
➢Disc diffusion method -qualitative susceptability result.
➢Gradient diffusion test [ E- test]- qualitative susceptability result.
DETERMINATION OF ANTIBIOTIC
SENSITIVITY
52. 1) Proper dose
➢MIC
➢Over dosing
➢Underdosing
2) Selection of antibiotic-
➢Disc diffusion method is employed.
➢Use of specific narrow spectrum antibiotic
➢Use of least toxic antibiotic.

73. Burke (1973) : “preventive antibiotics are indicated if there is a high
probability that a patient’s natural resistance to bacterial invasion will
not overcome the combined bacterial and physiological challenge of a
surgical procedure”.
PROPHYLAXIS FOR WOUND INFECTION
IN ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY
•Patient with normal defenses may require prophylaxis for some
procedures :
•Long (over three hours)procedure requires the use of prophylactic.
•Bone graft procedures.
•implants of metal, plastic or other alloplastic material.
•Immucocompromised host.
•cytotoxic cancer chemotherapy.
•immunosuppressive drugs such as glucocorticoids, azathioprine
(Imuran), or cyclosporine.
•For intraoral procedures, the drug of choice is penicillin given
parenterally, one or two million units preoperatively and an additional
dose every one and a half to two hours. The last dose is given after
complete recovery.
74. •procedure has risk of significant bacterial contamination and a high
incidence of infection.
•organism & antibiotic susceptibility of the causative organism must
be known.
•To be effective and to minimize adverse effects, the antibiotic must
be in the tissue at the time of contamination (operation) and it must
be continued for no more than four hours after cessation of
contamination.
•The drug must be given in dosages sufficient to reach four times the
MIC of the causative organisms.
Principles for the use of prophylactic
antibiotics
75. Developmental pharmacokinetics
•Slower GI but faster IM absorption
in infancy
•More body water vs lipid in early
life
•Limited protein binding in infants
•Larger liver/body weight ratio in
infants
•Immature enzymes in neonates
•Larger brain/body weight ratio and
higher blood–brain barrier
•permeability in younger children
•Immature renal function in infants
Pharmacodynamics respone of
drugs in children
Adverse effects
•Valproate hepatotoxicity increased
in young children (with learning
difficulties and receiving multiple
AEDs)
•Thalidomide only causes
phocomelia while the limb is forming
•Grey baby syndrome –
chloramphenicol in young children
•Tetracyclines only stain developing
enamel

80. Antibiotic Resistence
Antibiotics in dentistry--a boon or bane? APUA Newsletter 15(1):1-5. Walton RE, Zerr M, 1997.
American Heart Association (AHA) -taking antibiotics for routine dental procedures
was no longer recommended.
Today antibiotics are only recommended for:
1. An artificial heart valve or who have had a heart valve repaired with artificial
material.
2. A history of endocarditis.
3. Certain congenital heart defects.
4. A heart transplant with abnormal heart valve function.
dentistry is the medical discipline guilty of some of the most antibiotics abuse.
•several negative consequences happen.
•Overuse promotes natural mutation of common bacteria, resulting in newer
resistant strains.
•Antibiotics -VERY useful to treat resistant bacterial infection, but remain effective if
urgent changes are made to curb the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and
disease.
82. ANTIBIOTIC ALLERGY TESTS
•NO SINGLE TEST FOR ANTIBIOTIC ALLERGY.
•Except Penicillin, immunoreactive drug metabolites rarely identified.
•IgE-mediated hypersensitivity.
• SKIN TESTING -
•Amoxycillin side chain–specific immune reactions warrant specific
amoxycillin skin testing.
•Intradermal skin testing is difficult to do in children under 10 years of
age.
•Most nonpruritic maculopapular rashes will not be predicted by skin
testing.
ASCIA HPIP Antibiotic allergy 2014,351.38 KB
83. Principle of skin testing
•allergen is introduced into the skin
•contact with cutaneous mast cells
•Binding of the allergen occurs
•patient's mast cells are coated with IgE recognizing that specific allergen.
•then adjacent allergen-specific IgE -cross-linked on the mast cell surface & activated
•positive skin test,
•transient "wheal-and-flare" reaction (15 to 20 min)
•central area of superficial skin edema (wheal) surrounded by erythema (flare). pruritic
reaction represents the immediate phase.
•cutaneous mast cells are not activated, (no edema or erythema develo& the test is
negative)
• Falsely negative skin tests such as antihistamines
Penicillin skin testing , Solensky, Franklin Adkinson Jr, UpToDate, Feb 2014
84. •BLOOD ALLERGY TESTING (ImmunoCAP) is available for penicillin G,
penicillin V, amoxicillin and Cefaclor
•most accurate -close to the time of the event.
•Tryptase elevation collected within 1–4 hours after a reaction is consistent
with mast cell degranulation.
• blood count (looking for eosinophilia) and biochemistry (looking for raised
liver enzymes)
•Eosinophilia and/or abnormal liver function tests -T-cell/non-IgE-mediated
reactions.
•results of allergy testing may become negative with time. Even in current
allergies
•For IgE-mediated antibiotic allergy, used where skin and intradermal tests are
negative, or H/O of low risk and alternative drugs are clearly inferior.
•under medical supervision (clinical immunology/allergy specialist)
ASCIA HPIP Antibiotic allergy 2014,351.38 KB
85. Cross-reactivity
•Semi synthetic penicillins such as ticarcillin and piperacillin contain the same
nucleus as penicillin G.
•Cephalosporins share a common beta-lactam ring with the penicillins - cross-
reactivity is quite low.
•3-7% of those with penicillin allergy, may have allergic reactions to
cephalosporins as well.
•Monobactams such as aztreonam may be safely administered to penicillin
allergic subjects.
•carbapenems (imipenem) represent a significant risk to penicillin-allergic
patients.

86. Suggested management of penicillin hypersensitivity
Clinical situation Possible course of action
A clear history of an immediate (IgE-mediated)
reaction to penicillin (NB1) OR
A vague history
and an urgent situation (NB1)
1. Do not administer penicillin, a cephalosporin or
a carbapenem.
2. Reconsider clinical necessity for antibiotic
therapy.
3. If treatment is definitely required, administer an
alternative antibiotic. Penicillin is definitely
preferred, undertake desensitisation.
A vague history of an immediate (IgE-mediated)
reaction to penicillin and a non-urgent situation
(NB1)
Same as above
If a penicillin is definitely preferred, skin testing
should occur under the supervision of a clinical
immunology/allergy specialist. Negative-graded
challenge; if positive,- desensitisation program.
A clear history of a non-immediate reaction to
penicillin (NOT drug rash with eosinophilia and
systemic symptoms [DRESS], Stevens-Johnson
syndrome or variants)
1. Reconsider clinical necessity for antibiotic
therapy.
2. If treatment is definitely required, administer an
alternative non-penicillin antibiotic (e.g.
cephalosporin, aztreonam or non–beta-lactam
antibiotic). If a penicillin is definitely indicated,
proceed with therapy, treating any mild reactions

91. Algesia : It is defined as an ill defined,
unpleasant sensation, usually evoked by an
external or internal noxious stimuli.
Analgesic : A drug that selectively relieves
pain by acting in the CNS or peripheral pain
mechanism,without significantly altering the
conciousness.

101. SALICYLATES: History
• In England 18th century- Reverend Freudman first -
cure of agues(Fever)
• willow bark was a bitter glycoside -Salicin, 1st isolated
in 1829 by Leroux, -antipyretic effect.
• Sodium salicylate was 1st used for -rheumatic fever
• And as antipyretic in 1875 &
• its utility in the gout soon followed.
• Hoffman -prepared acetyl salicylic acid.
• 1899 introuduced by Dreses under the name aspirin.
NON-SELECTIVE COX INHIBITORs
102. ASPIRIN
• Acetyl salicylic acid.
• Rapidly converted in the body to salicylic acid which is
responsible for most of its action.
• Only drug amongst NSAIDs which irreversibly inhibit
COX.
103. PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS OF SALICYLATES
• Analgesic: 600mg equivalent to 60mg codeine.
• Antipyretic: promotes heat loss, resets hypothalamic
thermostat.
• Anti-inflammatory: 3-6gm/day; quenching of free
radicals.
• Respiration is stimulated; dose dependant.
• Metabolic: inflammatory doses; may decrease blood
sugar in diabetics.
• CVS: no direct effect in therapeutic doses.
• GIT: irritate gastric mucosa.
• Blood: irreversibly inhibits thromboxane synthesis.
104. Pharmacokinetics

146. Antibiotic prophylaxis Infective endocarditis -updated by the American Heart
Association (AHA) and National Institute for Health (NIH) and Clinical
Excellence. Aim To determine the specific infective endocarditis antibiotic
prophylaxis prescribing practices of dentists in Singapore. Methods A
questionnaire survey was sent through an email link and by postal mail.
Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 19.0. Results Responses
were received from 458 dentists The accuracy of prescriptions for 13 cardiac
conditions and 12 dental procedures were evaluated.. The median number
of accurate answers for dental procedures was generally high, both for
dentists who followed the AHA 1999 guidelines (median = 10) and AHA
2007 (median = 9) guidelines. 82.8% felt that developing a local guideline
would be beneficial to the local dental community. Conclusion Dentists were
accurate in their prescriptions of antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures,
but not for cardiac conditions. It may be helpful to attain a consensus among
local cardiologists and dentists to unify the antibiotic prophylaxis prescription
practices in Singapore.

147. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the ability of triple antibiotic
paste (TAP) to calcium hydroxide (CH) in disinfecting dentinal tubules.
Sixty root blocks were obtained from extracted single-rooted human teeth. The
root canals were enlarged with Gates-Glidden drills up to size 3 and were
contaminated with (E. faecalis), and then left for 21 days. The contaminated
blocks were treated with saline (as negative control), CH or TAP. Dentin debris
was obtained at the end of first and 7th days, using Gates-Glidden drills sizes 4
and 5 from two different depths of 100 and 200 um. The vital bacterial load was
assessed by counting the number of colony forming units (CFUs). The data was
analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis H and Dunn Post-Hoc tests & Wilcoxon
Signed Ranks test (P<0.05).
Results: TAP significantly decreased the number of CFUs in both depths and
time intervals (P<0.001), while the CH group showed a moderate antibacterial
effect.
Conclusion: TAP is more effective in disinfecting the canal against E. faecalis
compared to CH.

the College of Dentistry at The University of Tennessee Health
Science Center, Memphis, and three private dental offices. They
made parents to measure 5 milliliters of liquid by using a medicine
cup with clear markings, a medicine cup with printed markings, a
cylindrical measuring spoon and an oral syringe,each device weighed
before and after the measuring exercise and compared the difference
in weight with 5 mL. Results-McNemar test revealed a significant
difference in parents' ability to measure accurate doses with the
various devices.
• Conclusions- Medicine cups had a higher occurrence of dosing
errors when compared with the other devices.
• We improve pain management in pediatric patients by educating
parents about accurate measuring devices, weight-based dosing and
correct interpretation of medication dosing charts.

bilateral myringotomy tubes. His anesthetic course was uneventful,
consisting of maintenance with desflurane and fentanyl. He received
acetaminophen for routine postoperative pain management and was
tolerating liquids and discharged home on postoperative day 1.
• Day 3, child - profoundly lethargic with multiple episodes of emesis
,45-second tonic-clonic seizure in transport to the medical center, and
initial lab results - total bilirubin 3.1 mg/dL, and a serum
acetaminophen level -83 µg/mL. Aggressive measures -blood
products and periprocedural fresh frozen plasma,
peracillin/tazobactam, and intravenous infusions of N-acetylcysteine,
sodium phenylacetate and sodium benzoate, carnitine, and citrulline
were administered. metabolic acidosis and acute hepatitis began to
correct by day 4, and discharged on day 15.
• Conclusion: This report challenges existing guidelines for
acetaminophen administration and emphasizes the importance of
close follow-up and hydration after even relatively minor surgery.

•Refills- The physician should designate the number of refills he wishes the
patient to have.
•Proprietary vs. Non-Proprietary ("Generic") Prescriptions- In recent years,
some hospitals and private physicians indicate willingness to pharmacist to
dispense a non-proprietary or "generic-named" preparation instead of the trade
name item written on the prescription. Some have a box on the prescription
designated "N.P.P." e pharmacist can sell a less expensive drug to the patient.
•The amount to be dispensed should be clearly stated and needed by the patient.
Excessive amounts should never be dispensed,
•It is far better to have several refills of a prescription than to have an excessive
amount prescribed at one time.

• It is important to understand the growth cycle and physiology of bacteria toappreciate how it influences antimicrobial action• Bacteria are all around us. Given good growing conditions, a bacteriumwill divide.• A new cell wall forms at the center and the "bug" splits into two daughtercells, both of which carry the same genetic information as the parent• If the environment is perfect, the two daughter cells can split into fourwithin 20 minutes• 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64...• Typical bacterial growth cycle includes:Lag phaseExponential (log) phaseStationary phaseDeath phase
Gram-Negatives:1. Outer membrane entry through the:Porins: Hydrophilic ß-lactams tend to gain access into the periplasmicspace using these watery funnels (i.e., E. coli organism has about100,000 of these porins). Porins are transmembrane proteins. Theycomplex together to form water-filled channels through which lowmolecular weight (<600 daltons) hydrophilic substances readily diffuse.Such diffusion is passive and the concentration in the periplasmicspace can reach the level that prevails in the external environment aslong as there are no mechanisms to pump the drug back out or whichinactivate it.Phospholipids: This mode of entry is less common, but it seems toplay a significant part in the case of certain ß-lactams. Lipid bilayerssupport the diffusion of lipophilic compounds (certain ß-lactams arelipophilic). However, if the organism’s LPS (endotoxin) is branched(e.g., as in the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa), such diffusion isblocked. This is called impermeability.2. Peptidoglycan entry3. Periplasmic space entry: ß-lactams may encounter ß-lactamases4. Cytoplasmic membrane PBP – boundNatural Resistance - Many Gram-negative organisms are naturally resistantto penicillin G and oxacillin because the drug is prevented from entering the cell by the LPS which blocks the porins.
Mode of actionTarget = Ribosome in cytoplasm1. Outer Membrane entry:Aminoglycosides are positively charged molecules which means theyrapidly enter bacteria (negatively charged) since the two charges attracteach other.The negative charge of bacteria is due to LPS in the outer membrane andthe peptidoglycan (notably the teichoic acid).2. Cytoplasmic Membrane entry:The drugs cross the cytoplasmic membrane via respiratory enzymes(involved in aerobic respiration).This is why bacteria without respiratory enzymes (strict anaerobes orfacultative anaerobes like streptococci) are naturally resistant toaminoglycosides.
Outer and Cytoplasmic Membrane Effect:positively charged molecules (cationic) which areattracted to the negatively charged bacteria.Cationic molecules attracted to the negatively charged bacteria.(LPS and peptidoglycan).

A basic problem in diagnosing antibiotic allergy by immunological methods is the fact that most antibiotics are not complete antigens but rather haptenic metabolites of the parent drug coupled with a carrier tissue protein. With the exception of penicillin, immunoreactive drug metabolites have rarely been identified.The role of allergy testing is limited largely to immediate (IgE-mediated) hypersensitivity. The only validated skin testing approach involves the use of penicillin major and minor determinants (where available) in penicillin allergy. It is important to note that negative reactions may be seen if performed several months or years after the event. Amoxycillin side chain–specific immune reactions warrant specific amoxycillin skin testing. Intradermal skin testing is difficult to do in children under 10 years of age.Skin testing should only be performed by specialists due to the risk of anaphylaxis. Most nonpruriticmaculopapular rashes will not be predicted by skin testing.Blood allergy testing (ImmunoCAP) is available for penicillin G, penicillin V, amoxicillin and Cefaclor through commercial laboratories and is most accurate when measured close to the time of the event. Tryptase elevation on a sample collected within 1–4 hours after a reaction is consistent with mast cell degranulation. A blood count (looking for eosinophilia) and biochemistry (looking for raised liver enzymes) may also indicate that a reaction is related to drug administration. Eosinophilia and/or abnormal liver function tests are often due to T-cell/non-IgE-mediated reactions rather than IgE-mediated reactions.It is important to note that results of allergy testing may become negative with time from the event, and that testing may be negative even in patients who have current allergy. Thus a negative test in the presence of a convincing history does not guarantee safe administration.For IgE-mediated antibiotic allergy, antimicrobial introduction can be judiciously employed where skin and intradermal tests are negative, or in circumstances where history suggests a low risk and alternative drugs are clearly inferior. This should only be done under medical supervision, after consultation with a clinical immunology/allergy specialist. In these cases, the degree of suspicion surrounding possible life-threatening reactivity will dictate whether a desensitisation protocol (see Appendix 1) is preferable to oral challenge.
Components of the Penicillin Allergy TestPenicillin allergy testing involves the use of various skin testing techniques, including prick skin testingand intradermal skin testing, to penicillin and penicillin metabolites. Most allergy physicians perform skin testing with penicillin G (an injectable form of penicillin that is in liquid form), Pre-Pen (benzylpenicilloylpolylysine) - the major metabolite of penicillin after the body breaks down the drug, and a minor determinant mixture (MDM) containing other "minor" metabolites.MDM is not available commercially available at this time, although some allergists -- such as those working in university settings -- will make a "homemade" version. Penicillin testing that includes the use of MDM adds to the accuracy of the testing.Generally, prick skin testing is performed first, which is able to identify the most sensitive penicillin-allergic people. If prick skin testing is positive, then the person is considered to be allergic to penicillin, and no additional testing is done. If prick testing is negative, then intradermal skin testing is performed with the same materials. Intradermal skin testing identifies many more people with penicillin allergy, but is potentially dangerous in the most sensitive people. This is the reason why prick skin testing is performed first

Analgesic monotherapy has shown equivocal success in treating dental pain.Primary goal is to lower doses of component drugs,thereby increasing analgesia without increasing the side effects.
Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). Feb2014, Vol. 145 Issue 2, p141-149.
One must remember that analgesics are a second best means of managing pain;the best means is to remove the source as quickly as possible. We have numerous analgesics at our disposal. Our goal should be to periodically assess patient’s pain & intervene as needed to adjust medications to balance analgesic efficacy against adverse effects. Rational prescribing will result in good pain management with minimal side effects.Antibiotics are basically given as an adjunct as not as the main cause of the treatment, undesirable use of antibiotics leads to its resistance and toxicity, so as dentist we should wisely prescribe antbiotics and analgesics as an adjunct and not as the sole treatment.
