1 Updates in Infec3ous Diseases 2011: Inpa3ent An3bio3c Therapy Conan MacDougall, PharmD, MAS, BCPS Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy University of California San Francisco School of Pharmacy Conflict of Interest I declare that I have no relevant financial rela3onships to disclose Lecture Outline & Objec3ves New microbiology: end of ESBLs? Describe the recent changes to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Ins3tute breakpoints for Enterobacteriaceae and the implica3ons for therapy New clinical trials: ZEPHyR the final word on MRSA HAP? Discuss implica3ons of recent studies on the management of MRSA nosocomial pneumonia. New an3microbials: new cephalosporins: a new genera3on or much ado about nothing? Describe two characteris3cs of cezaroline that differen3ate it from other cephalosporins 1

MBC:MIC ratio 1-4 Bacteriostatic MBC:MIC ratio >4 Tolerant MBC:MIC ratio>32 for cidal drugs a) 0.5 mcg/ml b) 1 mcg/ml c) 2 mcg/ml d) 4 mcg/ml Clin Infect Dis 2004;39:1314 The Suscep3bility Breakpoint The breakpoint is the MIC (in mcg/ml) at or below which an organism is considered susceptible Unique for drug-organism-(infection) combination Example: Ceftriaxone & Haemophilus influenzae: 2 mcg/ml Ceftriaxone & Streptococcus pneumoniae: 1 mcg/ml (non-csf isolates) Ceftriaxone & Streptococcus pneumoniae: 0.5 mcg/ml (CSF isolates) Secng Breakpoints Breakpoints set by organizations (CLSI, FDA) using various approaches 1) MIC distributions in large collections of organisms 2) Response rates in clinical trials 3) Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic simulations 2

Clin Microbiol Infect 2005;11(S6):10-17 A 67 yo F is transferred to your hospital with a history of a complicated UTI, per report due to an ESBL producer at an outside hospital. The pa3ent is transferred on imipenem. Urine cultures are taken on admission and on day 2 grow the organism with the reported suscep3bili3es on the lez. Follow- up with the outside hospital gives the microbiology report on the right. E. coli Ceftriaxone 8 (R) Pip/tazo 16 (S) Cefepime 4 (S) Meropenem 1 (S) Imipenem 1 (S) E. coli ESBL double-disc diffusion test: + The drug of choice for bacteremia and other serious infections, caused by ESBL producing gram negative rods is a carbapenem (e.g. meropenem). Meropenem 1 (S) Imipenem 1 (S) The team would like to know whether the pa3ent can be transi3oned to piperacillin/tazobactam for narrower- spectrum therapy. What is your opinion?

What would you choose as the cutoff for suscep3bility (the breakpoint)? a) 1 mg/l Alternative explanation b) 2 mg/l Current susceptibility breakpoints c) 4mg/L are too high for cephalosporins & Enterobacteriaceae d) 8 mg/l ESBLs (or other mechanisms) raise MICs above what true breakpoint should be Andes D. Clin Microbiol Infect 2005;11(S6):10-17 Andes D. Clin Microbiol Infect 2005;11(S6):

8 New Paradigm? 1) ESBLs are not magic Any B-lactamase that reduces susceptibility can cause clinical failure 2) ESBLs lead to failure because they increase the MIC such that PK/PD targets cannot be attained at standard dosages 3) All beta-lactams are not equal in susceptibility to ESBLs Beta-lactams that can achieve PK/PD targets may be useful: cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam Andes D.

Three days later he develops a ven3lator- associated pneumonia and is empirically started on vancomycin 1g IV q12h and cefepime 2g IV q12h. His vancomycin level before the 4 th dose is 10 mg/l. 72 hours azer ini3a3ng therapy, the organism below is isolated from a bronchoalveolar lavage culture. Staphylococcus aureus Vancomycin 1 (S) Daptomycin 0.5 (S) Oxacillin 2 (R) Linezolid 1 (S) The pa3ent has showed modest improvement in his ven3latory status but remains febrile. Do you want to con3nue vancomycin at the current dose, change the dose, or change drugs? 9

NNT with linezolid instead of vancomycin for MRSA pneumonia to prevent one clinical failure (based on primary outcome) NNT= 1 / [0.576 (95/165) (81/174)] 9 But in order to follow the trial design, would need to treat ALL pa3ents with HAP/HCAP ini3ally with linezolid instead of vanco (albeit could be d/c d early in many) NNT= 1 / [0.159 (95/597) (81/587)] 45 Assuming we believe the trial results, is this a cost- effec3ve interven3on? 13

14 Take-homes: ZEPHyR Vancomycin vs linezolid debate for nosocomial pneumonia debate is coming to a hospital near you Implications: Totality of evidence suggests linezolid > vanco (but not >> or >>>) for MRSA pneumonia Limitations Unclear what linezolid advantage is for low vanco MIC, AUC/MIC-targeted vanco dosing Treat all HAP patients empirically with linezolid or target only MRSA pneumonia? A 48 yo F is transferred to your hospital for evalua3on for poten3al below- the- knee amputa3on azer presen3ng to her community hospital with a severe diabe3c foot infec3on. The pa3ent s medica3on profile on discharge includes an an3bio3c you ve never heard of before, cezaroline. You call the pharmacy and they tell you they don t have the drug in stock (it is non- formulary) but that they can borrow some from a nearby hospital if you think it s appropriate. The pa3ent seems to be clinically responding (the co- following ortho team seems to think amputa3on might be avoided). Do you con3nue with this agent or start alterna3ve an3bio3cs (and what would the alterna3ve(s) be?)
