48 Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing pro or con? Wilson CID 1995 suppl 2 S251 Chow 1974 appropriate antibiotic therapy of Bacteroides bacteremia is associated with a better outcome than inappropriate therapy but Surgeons advocated (MC Namara 1993) «routine practise of obtaining cultures in patients operated on for acute and complicated appendicitis should be abandoned» «No benefit from susceptibility data» (Mosdell 1991)

49 AST pro or con in peritonitis? Mosdell only 8.8% of patients who had inadequate empirical therapy was an appropriate change in antibiotic treatment Dougherty «culture results appeared to influence antibiotic therapy for only 7% of these patients» No benefit from susceptibility data (Mosdell 1991) Worrisome disjunction between surgeon and microbiologist

50 AST pro or con in peritonitis? Worrisome disjunction between surgeon and microbiologist Berne BUT In vitro susceptibility was significantly associated with infectious postoperativc outcome «89% of patients in whom primary therapy failed had resistant strains compared with 46% in whom therapy succeeded. So... The concept persists that in patients with polymicrobial infection adequate surgical treatment and antibiotic at least cover aerobic component of the flora will suffice

51 Hopkins 1993 AST pro or con in peritonitis? Study of 175 patients with intra-abdominal infections «both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria susceptibility was statistically correlated with outcome» 26% of resistant B. fragilis from those who had an infection vs 3% those who have not Patients with resolution of the IA infection 44% of resistant isolates vs 82% if complications
