Rules for prescribing antibiotics: Use the write drug Use the write dose Use the correct dose schedule & correct duration. Most odontogenic infections are caused by mixed
organisms . When we prescribe antibiotic we have to reach MIC ( Minimum
Inhibitory Concentration: is the smallest concentration of an antimicrobial needed to stop bacterial growth ).
Most of the drugs take their action within 2-3 days but we give an extra 2 days to make sure that the patient has taken the drug the right way & the desired effect has been achieved ( patient compliance).

Antibiotic Resistance
Three main types– Chromosome mediated
Spontaneous mutations Non-major form of drug resistance Rarely lead to complete resistance
– Plasmid mediated (conjugation) VERY important from clinical standpoint Mostly gram negs Mediate resistance to multiple drugs High transfer rate from cell to cell
– Transposon (transduction and transformation) Phage mediated Clinically important for Gram +
