Effects of beta-lactam antibiotics on proliferating eucaryotic cells.
Most fungal toxins interact specifically with well-defined target structures, thereby reaching very high selectivity for the cell type attacked (17). The susceptibility of bacteria to beta-lactam antibiotics, as an example, is due to a number of penicillin-binding proteins on the bacterial plasma membrane. The eucaryotic cell lacks such target structures. Its insusceptibility to beta-lactams se...
متن کاملBeta-Lactam Antibiotics and Vancomycin Beta-lactam antibiotics
Anti-bacterial drugs have “selective toxicity”, that is they interact with a target present on the bacterial cell, the prokaryote, that is not present in the mammalian host, the eukaryote. For the ß-lactam drugs, this target is the cell wall. Mammalian cells lack cell walls, which for the bacteria are a critically important barrier protecting the organism from not only the vagaries of osmotic s...
متن کاملIrreversible effects of serum proteins on beta-lactam antibiotics.
The chromogenic cephalosporin nitrocefin (87/312) demonstrates rapid and visible instability to serum from many species. This phenomenon was distinct from serum binding, being significantly slower. Destruction of another cephalosporin, 10485, by serum appeared to account for some anomalous results during investigation into its human pharmacokinetics. Many cephalosporins of very different struct...
متن کاملThe Survey of Genes Encoding Beta-Lactamases, in Escherichia Coli Resistant to Beta-Lactam and Non-Beta-Lactam Antibiotics
Objective(s) Resistance to the new generation of cephalosporins which is mediated by Extended-Spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) has been found among Escherichia coli isolates throughout the world. These resistance genes and their producers, the micro-organisms carrying beta-lactamases, are responsible for serious clinical and therapeutic problems among inpatients and it is necessary to pay more...
متن کاملChemistry of Beta Lactam Antibiotics
Humans have been plagued with the threat of bacterial infection since before the dawn of recorded history, and have thus always had a keen interest in finding a suitable treatment for these maladies. In the early part of the 19th century, colonial Americans were fearful of death by bacterial infections that are now considered routine, and usually inquired about one another's health in their let...
