1 Antibiotics Over-prescribing and New Antibiotics Sept 18, 2018 Paul Bonnar, FRCPC
2 No disclosures Off-label antibiotic recommendations will be declared Receiving evaluations is critical to the accreditation process. Please provide feedback
3 Learning objectives To understand the state of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic use patterns To be aware of new antibiotics in the pipeline To understand treatment of common community-acquired syndromes To become stewards of antimicrobials
4 MCQ Most antimicrobials are used in: a) Hospital b) Community c) Long-term Care
5 MCQ 2 What % of antibiotics are used unnecessarily? a) 10% b) 30% c) 60% d) 90%

24 MCQ Most antibiotics are used in the community to treat: a) Urinary tract infections b) Skin infections c) Respiratory infections d) Gastrointestinal infections
25 Antibiotic use in the community million Rx dispensed 93% dispensed from community pharmacies $786M 65% Canadians received abx Most often for respiratory tract infections Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System Report 2016

33 MCQ How common are antibiotic side-effects? a) 5% b) 20% c) 40% d) 60%
34
35 Misuse of antibiotics Underuse An antibiotic is not used when it could improve health Unnecessary use An antibiotic is not indicated e.g. non bacterial infections Inappropriate use Incorrect timing, choice, dose, route, or duration
36 Dose / frequency Choice Optimal use Duration / timing Route
37
38 Empiric vs targeted therapy Empiric therapy Treating an infection without knowing the causative pathogen Relying on experience and precedent Prophylaxis Prevention of disease Both rely on - Knowledge of location of disease in the body - Local epidemiology Classes of infective agents Targeted therapy Antibiotic regimen determined by identity and antibiotic sensitivities More refined and specific compared to empiric therapy WHO: Antimicrobial Stewardship for Hospitals Training Workshop Commensal an organism in a co-operative relationship in which the person derives some benefit while remaining unaffected by its presence do not cause disease when in their usual location Staphylococcus epidermidis on skin, Escherichia coli in gastrointestinal tract Pathogen an organism that causes disease some organisms are always regarded as pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Salmonella typhi, influenza virus - some sites are normally sterile e.g. blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), bladder any organisms in these sites are usually thought of as pathogenic WHO: Antimicrobial Stewardship for Hospitals Training Workshop
