4 Antibiotic resistances Causes: - evolutionary pressure (only low levels of preexisting antibioticresistant bacteria before the widespread use of antibiotics) APS 18/02/ Photocontrol of biological systems - Optical control of antibacterial activity (Literature Talk) 3

5 Antibiotic resistances Causes: - evolutionary pressure (only low levels of preexisting antibioticresistant bacteria before the widespread use of antibiotics) Mechanisms: - drug inactivation (e.g., β-lactamase) APS 18/02/ Photocontrol of biological systems - Optical control of antibacterial activity (Literature Talk) 4

6 Antibiotic resistances Causes: - evolutionary pressure (only low levels of preexisting antibioticresistant bacteria before the widespread use of antibiotics) Mechanisms: - drug inactivation (e.g., β-lactamase) - alteration of target side (e.g., alteration of PBP) APS 18/02/ Photocontrol of biological systems - Optical control of antibacterial activity (Literature Talk) 5

7 Antibiotic resistances Causes: - evolutionary pressure (only low levels of preexisting antibioticresistant bacteria before the widespread use of antibiotics) Mechanisms: - drug inactivation (e.g., β-lactamase) - alteration of target side (e.g., alteration of PBP) - alteration of metabolic pathway (e.g., no PABA required) APS 18/02/ Photocontrol of biological systems - Optical control of antibacterial activity (Literature Talk) 6

8 Antibiotic resistances Causes: - evolutionary pressure (only low levels of preexisting antibioticresistant bacteria before the widespread use of antibiotics) Mechanisms: - drug inactivation (e.g., β-lactamase) - alteration of target side (e.g., alteration of PBP) - alteration of metabolic pathway (e.g., no PABA required) - reduced drug accumulation (e.g., increased efflux) APS 18/02/ Photocontrol of biological systems - Optical control of antibacterial activity (Literature Talk) 7

9 Antibiotic resistances Causes: - evolutionary pressure (only low levels of preexisting antibioticresistant bacteria before the widespread use of antibiotics) Mechanisms: - drug inactivation (e.g., β-lactamase) - alteration of target side (e.g., alteration of PBP) - alteration of metabolic pathway (e.g., no PABA required) - reduced drug accumulation (e.g., increased efflux) One Example: - S.
