OVERVIEW
 Multi drug resistivity of the microorganisms is an
emerging one ,that almost all microbes are being
developed a type of resistance within their cell to
certain groups of drugs.
 These drugs are nothing but the antibiotics that we
use or developing in our immune system
 Due to this resistivity character of microbes there will
be no curation or less curation of the diseases, hence
the pathogen gets adapted to our immune system
 This topic will gives an idea about the drug resistivity
of various microbes with a fine description
DRUGS RESEMBLES
ANTIBIOTICS:
 Antibiotics, also called antibacterials, are a type
of antimicrobial drug used in
the treatment and prevention of bacterial
infections. They may either kill or inhibit the
growth of bacteria
 There are different routes of administration for antibiotic
treatment.
 Antibiotics are usually taken by mouth. In more severe
cases, particularly systemic infections, antibiotics can be
given intravenously or by injection.

Details of Antibiotics sold during
2005-2009 in India
WHAT IS MULTI DRUG RESISTANCE?
Multiple drug resistance (MDR), or drug
resistance or multi resistance is antimicrobial
resistance shown by a species of microorganism to various
antimicrobial drugs.
MDR bacteria that resist multiple antibiotics; other types
include MDR viruses, fungi, and parasites
Multidrug resistance in Microbes
Resistance is accelerated through inappropriate
use of antimicrobials
Standard treatment guidelines is not
provided by physicians or provided
but not adhered to.
Drugs taken without prescription
Inadequate monitoring of diseases
(AMR surveillance programs)
Irrational self-administration or
prescription
Resistanceof microbeshas huge
negativeimpacton human health
• Longer duration of illness
• Longer treatment
• Higher mortality
• Increased burden on health system
• Patient acts as reservoir of resistant organisms
which are passed to community and health-
care workers
• Huge economic impact
Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance:
Reduced permeability or uptake
Enzymatic inactivation
Enhanced efflux
Alternation or over expression of target
Loss of enzymes involved in drug metabolism
Enzymatic inactivation - β-lactamase(EC No
3.5.2.6) releases the β-lactam ring and inactivates
the β-lactam antibiotics.

Pneumococci
Streptococci
ESCHERICHIA COLI – RESISTANCE TO
CEPHALOSPORINS
AND TO FLUOROQUINOLONES:
• E. coli is part of the normal flora in the intestine in humans and
animals.
• cephalosporins is mainly conferred by enzymes known as
extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs); these enzymes
destroy many beta-lactam antibacterial drugs.
• E. coli strains that have ESBL are generally also resistant to several
other antibacterial drugs
• E. coli resistance to fluoroquinolones were similar to those found
for resistance to third-generation cephalosporins.
KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE –
RESISTANCE
TO CEPHALOSPORINS
AND TO CARBAPENEMS• Klebsiella are frequent colonizers of the gut in humans and
other vertebrates Causes urinary tract, respiratory tract
infections, bloodstream infections.
• pneumoniae carries a resistance gene (chromosomally located
betalactamase) that have resistance to ampicillin and
amoxicillin
• The presence of extended spectrum
beta lactamase in klebsiella give
resistance to cephalosporins and the
carbapenems
STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS –
RESISTANCE
TO METHICILLIN:
• S.aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium that can be a part
of the normal flora on the skin and in the nose and causes
notable infections- skin, soft tissue, bone and bloodstream
infections
• S.aureus gets the resistance by the production of a
betalactamase enzyme that inactivates drugs such as
penicillin, ampicillin and amoxicillin.
STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE –
RESISTANCE TO
PENICILLIN:
• S. pneumoniae ( also known as pneumococci) is the leading
cause worldwide of community-acquired pneumonia
• It is resistant to penicillin
SALMONELLA –
RESISTANCE TO FLUOROQUINOLONES
• Bacteria of the genus Salmonella are a major cause of
foodborne illness throughout the world(zoonotic pathogen)
• These species are resistant to anti microbials like ampicillin,
chloramphenicol,
• streptomycin,
• sulfonamides and
• tetracycline
SHIGELLA SPECIES – RESISTANCE TO
FLUOROQUINOLONES
• Shigella species area major cause of diarrhoea
and dysentery
• These bacteria aretransmitted by ingestion of contaminated food orwater
• Formerly, Shigellastrains wereless susceptible to cotrimoxazole, ciprofloxacin and
fluoroquinolones
GONORRHOEAE DRUG RESISTANT:
• Neisseria gonorrhoeae – decreased susceptibility to third-
generation cephalosporins
MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT
TUBERCULOSIS
• Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium
tuberculosis
• Has slight resistance to rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol
and pyrazinamide
• MDR (multi drug resistant) TB is the name given to TB when
the bacteria that are causing it are resistant to at least isoniazid
and rifampicin
• XDR TB (extensively drug resistant TB) resistant to at least
rifampicin and isoniazid,fluoroquinolones,amikacin,
kanamycin, capreomycin.
DRUG RESISTANCE
IN MALARIA:
• Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite
Plasmodium which is transmitted via the bite of
female Anopheles mosquitoes.
• Among the five species of Plasmodium parasites [P.
falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale,P. malariae and P.
knowlesi] that infect humans are P. falciparum and P.
vivax
• Malaria has slow resistant to chloroquine,
mefloquine or piperaquine
• P. falciparum to amodiaquine and sulfadoxine-
pyrimethamine
DRUG RESISTANCE IN
HIV:
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects cells of the immune system,
destroying or impairing their function.
• HIV treatments with some drugs are failure
• This have resistance to artesunate-mefloquine,dihydroartemisinin-
piperaquine,
atovaquone-proguanil
• These drugs supress the viral load but don’t kill the virus
DRUG RESISTANCE IN
INFLUENZA
VIRUSES
• Influenza imposes a global public health and economic burden for all populations
• Influenza A and B viruses causes acute respiratory illness
• TheA(H1N1) and A(H3N2) subtypes are currently in general circulation in human
populations
• Influenza has a less resistance to adamantanes and neuraminidase
CANCER
MULTIDRUG
RESISTANCE
• Canceris a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to
invade or spread to other parts of the body.
• The cancercells actively expel chemotherapy drugs from the interior and thus
resists the drugs
• They have resistance to mechlorethamine,methotrexate, Bendamustine,
Busulfan,Carmustine
Asparagin,Capecitabine etc.

THE DEATH RATE WILL BE…..
Superbugs* are visible manifestations of our prolonged failure to preserve antibiotics
Note: Methicillin resistant Staph aureus, MDR-and XDR Mycobacteria, ESBL producing Gram negative
bacteria and NDM-1 producing
enterobacteriaceae bacteria are few examples of superbugs because these fail to respond to large
number of commonly used antibiotics
Known but neglected.
Need immediate action
Known but
inevitable
