2 Rationale for Antibiotic Optimizaton: Balancing The Needs of Patient and Society Inappropriate antibiotic therapy associated with higher mortality Indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics driving resistance Richards GA. Clin Microbiol Infect. 2005;11(suppl):18-S22.

4 How to be appropriate?

5 Optimal Empiric Therapy h Choice 1 - Patient factors including safety - Local resistance patterns (antibiogram) - Prior antimicrobial exposure h Appropriate - All suspected pathogens susceptible to 1 of the administered antibiotics h Timely 1 - In one study, patients were 2.1% more likely to die for each 30 minute delay in administration 2 h Adequate dosage 1 - Consistent with pk/pd parameters The important decision in antibiotic treatment turns out to be the choice between present and future patients 3 1 Deresinski S.

30 The Primary Goal Espoused in the IDSA/ SHEA Antibiotic Stewardship Guideline The primary goal of antimicrobial stewardship is to optimize clinical outcomes while minimizing unintended consequences of antimicrobial use, including toxicity, the selection of pathogenic organisms (such as Clostridium difficile), and the emergence of resistance.

32 Correlation Between Imipenem Consumption and Resistance of P. aeruginosa to Imipenem Imipenem resistance (%) Imipenem consumption (DDDs) Lepper PM et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2002;46:

33 Risk Factors for Imipenem-Resistant P. aeruginosa h A total of 779 isolated resulting in an incidence of 5.6 cases per 1,000 patient admissions (with an average % resistance of 21.6%) h Associated with a high incidence of imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa by univariate analysis - Group 2 carbapenems (P <0.0001) - Aminoglycosides (P = 0.034) - Penicillins (P = 0.05) h Group 1 carbapenems not associated with imipenemresistant P. aeruginosa (P = 0.2) Carmeli Y et al.

34 Impact of Ertapenem on Susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to Imipenem Retrospective analysis in a 344-bed community teaching hospital on the effect of ertapenem on susceptibility * *Autosubstitution of ertapenem for ampicillin-sulbactam in months 19 to 48 of the study Goldstein EJC et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2009;53:

35 An Example of Optimizing Antibiotic Use Through an ASP: Carbapenem Stewardship* Suggestion that ertapenem best used as either empirical or directed therapy for infections due to aerobic gramnegative and mixed anaerobic bacteria where coverage of non-fermentative gram-negatives including Pseudomonas is not typically necessary or desirable Suspected infections due to ESBL-producing bacteria Polymicrobial complicated intra-abdominal infections where the probability of Pseudomonas is unlikely based on the medication history, clinical course, and demographics of the patient Potential role in de-escalation or step-down therapy from carbapenems when possible, with therapy being changed as necessary once culture data become available *Nicolau DP et al. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2012;39:11-15

36 Carbapenems in VAP h ICU carbapenembased regimen h After D3 therapy based on susceptibility results h Better empirical cover (81 vs 46%; p<0.01) Soo Hoo GW et al. Chest 2005;128:

37 When to Expect P. aeruginosa h Retrospective analysis from 4 hospitals patients and 152 controls h P. aeruginosa caused 6.8% of 4,114 episodes of Gram-negative bacteremia h Risk factors: severe immunodeficiency, OR: age >90, antimicrobials within 30 days, presence of central venous catheter or a urinary device - If 2 had over 25% risk for P. aeruginosa V Schechner et al, CID 48:580-6, 2009

38 An Approach to Clinical Therapeutics Centered on the Consideration of P. aeruginosa Pseudomonas Likely Pseudomonas Unlikely Penicillins Piperacillin Ampicillin Cephalosporins Carbapenems Ceftazidime Cefepime Imipenem Meropenem Doripenem Ceftriaxone Cefotaxime Ertapenem Fluoroquinolones Ciprofloxacin Moxifloxacin

39 Potential Benefits of a De-escalation Strategy: Recent Evidence ICU-acquired pneumonia in 137 patients: Safe when the patient is clinically stable by day 5 Patients in the de-escalation group showed a significantly lower mortality rate compared to patients in the non-de-escalation group o o Day 14, p=0.08 Day 30, p=0.03 (Days) Joung MK, et al. Crit Care. 2011:15;R79.

40 De-escalation in the ICU: A Retrospective Study All consecutive patients treated with empiric therapy in the ICU for 72 hours over a period of 16 months 116 patients with 133 infections All infections were examined, not just VAP De-escalation in 60 (45%) of cases De-escalation therapy was associated with a significant reduction of recurrent infection 15% vs. 5% (p = 0.02) De-escalation had no effect on mortality Morel J, et al. Crit Care. 2010:14;R225.

41 Potential Benefits of a De-escalation Strategy A reduction in overall antimicrobial costs Beneficial impacts on the antimicrobial resistance profile of the institution Decreased antibiotic-related adverse events Superinfection with resistant bacteria Clostridium difficile No alteration in treatment outcomes Masterton RG.
