Drug Medical Information
TREATMENT OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES: ANTIBIOTICS
Chemicals had been used to combat infectious disease for hundreds of years before Paul Ehrlich made chemotherapy a science. In 1903, he developed Salvarson, a drug containing arsenic, which is effective against the causative agent of syphilis. In 1929, Sir Alexander Fleming discovered that a compound (later shown to be penicillin) produced by a fungus could inhibit the growth of certain bacteria. In 1940, Chain and Florey reported that penicillin could be used to treat humans with bacterial infections. Meanwhile, Domagk, in 1935, discovered sulfonamides and their inhibitory action on bacterial multiplication. Once these compounds had been discovered, advances in antimicrobial chemotherapy were rapid. Antibiotic (anti—against; bios— life) was originally a term used to mean natural products of microorganisms, but it now includes synthetic compounds (for example, synthetic penicillin, ampicillin) as well.
Antibiotics can successfully control several major bacterial diseases, such as strep and staph infections, bacterial pneumonia, and many of the sexually transmitted diseases. However, these drugs cannot treat viruses. Although antibiotics have made a vital contribution, some problems are associated with their use, including allergic reactions and the development of strains resistant to the drugs.
In 1980, infectious diseases ranked as America's fifth leading killer, resulting in about 41 deaths per 100,000 and was the third leading cause of death. Although AIDS caused the largest jump in death among males aged 25 to 44, mortality rose 22 percent when HIV-related deaths were eliminated. Deaths from septicemia (bacteria in the blood), for example, rose 83 percent, respiratory tract infections increased 20 percent, and invasive strep bacterial infections rose from 4 to 14 percent in three years. New, lethal food-borne bacterial infections have also sprung up that are resistant to current antibiotics. Experts are alarmed about the spread of new antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria and the increased resistance of bacterial infections to current antibiotic therapy. According to the American Medical Association, the current situation is serious. There is an urgent need to develop new antibiotics to improve the treatment of infections that are becoming resistant to traditional medications as well as to handle the wave of new bacterial infections being identified in the 1990s.
Active immunity When a body can produce antibodies against a specific antigen, causing a long-term immune response to that antigen and its associated disease.
Passive immunity The injection or ingestion of pharmaceutically produced antibodies against a specific antigen in order to boost the immune system and provide short-term immunity to a disease.
Antibiotic A pharmaceutical, such as penicillin, which will destroy bacteria and other microbes that cause disease.
