🫀 08.02.2024 [😶] // I didn't have any lecture today so I slept in until noon (as I am so so tired for the past weeks) and I wrote some of the notes i left unfinished. I still have some chapters to catch up before I forgot what my notes mean ahah (I still have 10/23 for the moment), which include (in no specific order) :
pharmacology of antihypertensives
public health of cardiovascular diseases
pharmacology of anticoagulants
the aminoglycosides
it's heavy subjects and even a one hour lecture takes so much time and effort to be understood, learned and remembered. And don't tell me wrong, I love doing it! I just wish I had more time :((

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered unique characteristics of a mechanism used by bacteria to resist an important class of antibiotics. The new research, published in Nature Chemical Biology, shows that resistance to aminoglycoside drugs—used to treat a variety of infections—is far more complex than initially thought. Lead investigator Gerry Wright, professor of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences at McMaster, says his lab observed never-before-seen versatility in ApmA, a long-studied bacterial resistance gene. The research showed that the gene can uncharacteristically enable bacteria to perform different functions against different antibiotics. Of the hundred-or-more aminoglycoside resistance enzymes known to researchers, Wright says only this one has exhibited such nimble behavior. "It's a unicorn," he says. "It looks different, it operates differently, and it belongs to an entirely different family of enzymes. It's completely different from all of the resistance mechanisms that we associate with this class of antibiotic."

Bacillus licheniformis:
This is a gram positive bacterium commonly found in soil. It’s found on bird feathers especially chest and back plumage. It’s common in ground dwelling birds too. Is it harmful to man ? Yes it is has been found to cause infection in several cases of immunocompromised patients. It’s the causative agent of ventriculitis, ophthalmitis, bacteremia and endocarditis.
Treatment: it is sensitive to antibiotics such as cefepime, carbapenems, aminoglycosides and vancomycin.

Enterococcus faecalis
As per wiki, "not to be confused with enterococcus faecium." why in god's name are they so similarly named. I do not know. but it does change management.
Faecalis is more susceptible to penicillin and ampicillin. Faecalis is more virulent and more likely to cause IE than faecium. Faecium is also more likely to be resistant to ampicillin and vancomycin --> in the US: 80% to vanc, and 90% resistant to ampicillin.
It's a nosocomial common bug, so there aren't any cool case reports. If you walk into a ward, odds are you'll find someone with this. Not as common as staph or strep though.
Image source: bacteria under the microscope
Tumblr media
E. Faecalis is gram positive cocci, (purple spheres), previously part of the streptococcus umbrella - if it makes it easier to remember - both appear in chains or pairs (rather than clusters like staph). Similar to strep it is catalase negative. Facultative anaerobe, so it will grow in both bottles. Faecalis is far more common than faecium, both live in the gut (think faeces). They grow at high salt concentrations, 6% (normal saline on the wards is 0.9%) and are usually non haemolytic.
Key thing to be aware of is that it can be a healthy part of your gut or genital tract but under the right circumstances for it - it can become pathogenic/disease causing. Further key thing: intrinsically resistant to bactericidal antibiotics hence they require synergism between a combination or prolonged duration in severe cases. like IE.
It's considered an opportunistic infection (for the lay public, it means when you're unwell or immunosuppressed, it becomes a problem). Increasingly it is a nosocomial infection (hospital acquired), 60% of cases in the US were acquired in hospital. They survive very harsh environments, including ethanol and can survive 10 mins at 60 degrees celsius and on surfaces from days to months. They are killed at 80 degrees or with 70% ethanol.
Tumblr media
Similar to staph and strep, it can cause a variety of infections, including:
Infective endocarditis --> 3rd most common cause, 90% are faecalis other 5% are faecium (after staph aureus and strep viridans), subacute course, now more associated with TAVIs (elderly/frail/multimorbid patients). high mortality, 10-35%
UTIs - cause up to 20% of UTIs, but usually associated in hospital setting and with catheters/devices etc.
wound infections & OM (rarely)
line associated --> always replace lines if you can in sepsis, one cause of bacteraemia is the line
2nd or 3rd most common cause of nosocomial Utis, sepsis and wound infections (less often: diabetic ulcers, prosthetic joints)
less common: meningitis - and usually associated with shunts and neurosurgical procedures --> anything to do with devices and hospital. Mortality risk of 20%
odd association: strongyloides hyperinfection (remember this increases risk for bacteraemia), as post earlier.
sepsis/bacteraemia mortality risk is 25%
bottom line: high mortality in severe disease
Epidemio:
more likely to be found in the elderly populations who are multi-morbid and less independent in their activities of daily living.
Special powers:
Tumblr media
No toxins (like staph or strep), but have inherent antibiotic resistance or are amenable to this and are very durable/hardy. Ability to form biofilms - hence attraction to lines and devices and staying there. This limits abx penetration allows them to persist. They gain resistance by their ability to pick up and transfer mobile gene elements like plasmids via conjugation etc. Abx including: cephalosporin, clinda, TMP-SMX, aminoglycosides like gent.
It is becoming more notorious for resistance particularly vancomycin resistant enterococcus faecalis (also not to be confused with VRE - Patients who were recently hospitalised or institutionalized are often swabbed for this, but this is actually E. faecium they're referring to). increased risk for this include previous antibiotics use (eg cephalosporins, vancomycin), due to disrupted gut biome, and exposure risk - more likely to occur if you've been recently hospitalised, require routine access to the wards (i.e. dialysis) etc. Also increased association with devices (like pacemakers), diabetics and stomach acid suppression from PPIs.
Investigations
Relevant imaging i.e. CT for abdominal collections, and culture/staining. sensitivities are an absolute must including aminoglycoside resistance, pencillin and vanco, which most labs will automatically do anyway when it's identified, teams just gotta remember to chase. other possibilities include PCR or 16s rRNA sequencing
Interesting additional work up: Colonoscopies. Some reports are starting to recommending doing this routinely if no source is found in cases of bacteraemia or IE. As there is an increasing association with neoplasms from the gut. Similar to guidelines for strep bovis.
Management
in general UTIs, wound infections etc, most are susceptible to penicillins and ampicillin, so you can treat with either.
Management of beta lactam resistant enterococcus: - resistant against beta lactams --> refer to immunology for desensitisation, vanco is not as effective against enterococci, duration is 6 weeks in severe infection Vanco resistant (your local infectious diseases team will be involved)
daptomycin, linezolid --> equally effective, tigecycline (last resort/salvage)
Treatment in IE --> synergism is key for bacteriocidal effect (durability)
in case of bacteraemia, try the denova calculator to determine risk of IE - Duration of symptoms, Embolizations, Number of positive cultures, Origin, valve disease, and Auscultation murmurs
if susceptible, it's intermittent doses of benzylpenicillin or continuous infusion at 2.4 g IV plus gentamicin (if concerning for kidneys, shorten the duration to 2 weeks) for approx 4-6 weeks --> unless there's high level resistance to aminoglycosides
or if resistant as above options
issue with aminoglycosides -> ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity, requires frequent monitoring and caution in elderly
Resources: Pathogen data sheet - Canadian government StatPearls Australian therapeutic guidelines - paywall, unless you're at an Australian hospital/medical school Uptodate - always the gold standard, but is behind a paywall unless you have institutional access Wikipaedia

Q. Why do we treat neonates with "Amp & Gent"?
Tumblr media
A. Ampicillin is a penicillin that covers Group A Streptococcus, Group B Streptococcus, and Listeria monocytogenes.
Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside that covers Escherichia coli and Methicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus.
Together they have synergy against Enterococcus spp.

Ah! so the antibiotics in patho are based off of aminoglycoside antibiotics!! I knew i recognised the -mycin ending...
Tumblr media
neomycin is the only real one though - monomycin and ferromycin are made up. but ferro- suggests that the antibiotic contains an iron atom somewhere, and that feeds into a working theory i have about heme and othersuch iron-containing molecules in humans and bulls rather nicely...
bwahahah... holy shit...
Aminoglycosides are thought to work by inhibiting protein synthesis inside bacteria. Kill rates of bacteria are increased when higher concentrations of aminoglycosides are present; however, the margin between a safe and a toxic dose is narrow and monitoring is often needed, although once daily dosing increases the safety window. Impairment of kidney function and hearing loss are the most common side effects of aminoglycosides. Aminoglycosides tend to be used when other less toxic antibiotics are contraindicated or ineffective. (aminoglycoside drug class page)
No wonder taking them fucks you up so bad ingame :D :D :D man i wish theres were like... penicillins or literally any other group of antibiotics to compare effectivity...
