17 Current Guidelines

18 Current Guidelines Hospital-acquired pneumonia Diabetes foot infection Intra-abdominal infection Complicated urinary tract infection

19 Hospital-, Ventilator-, and Healthcare-associated Pneumonia HAP: pneumonia that occurs 48 hours or more after admission, which was not incubating at the time of admission VAP: pneumonia that arises >48 72 hours after endotracheal intubation HCAP: hospitalized in acute care hospital >2 days within 90 days, resided in nursing home or longterm care facility, received recent IV antibiotic therapy, chemotherapy, or wound care within the past 30 days, or attended hospital or hemodialysis clinic ATS, IDSA. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005;171:

25 Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections Perforated intestines, intra-abdominal abscesses, appendicitis, diverticulitis, or cholecysitis with perforation and/or abscess with fecal contamination, or perforated gastric/duodenal ulcers, and complicated peritonitis Healthcare-associated infections generally require broader antibacterial coverage P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. and MRSA Objectives for the treatment: to minimize time to clinical improvement, prevent recurrence, and eradicate causative microorganisms

35 What to Treat? ESBLs Imipenem Meropenem Doripenem Ertapenem Peleg AY et al. N Engl J Med 2010;362:

36 Management Options: ESBLs Antimicrobial agent Pros Cons Carbapenems Fluoroquinolones Drug of choice for severe infections Option for non-serious UTIs, if sensitive Ertapenem-less susceptible; overuse? Empirical use-not recommended Aminoglycosides Effective if sensitive Avoided monotherapy Fosfomycin Tigecycline β-lactamase inhibitor combinations Option for UTIs, oral form (cystitis) Excellent in vitro activity against ESBL producers May be active against ESBL producers, UTIs Conjunction with other antibiotics for other infections, less clinical data FDA warned against its use for serious HAP/VAP, less clinical data Should not used for serious infections Polymixins Excellent efficacy Nephrotoxicity Modified from Dhillon RH et al. Crit Care Res Pract 2012;2012:

37 What to Treat? ESBLs Imipenem Meropenem Doripenem Ertapenem Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae Colistin Tigecycline Combination with others Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii Colistin Extended infusion of carbapenem Combination with others Colistin Tigecycline Sulbactam combination Extended infusion of carbapenem Combination with others Peleg AY et al.

40 Problems!!! Bad_Bugs_No_Drugs/Press_Releases/Antibiotic%20Resistance%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf

41 Dosage of Antibiotics: HAP, VAP, HCAP Doripenem 500 mg every 8 h Dosages are based on normal renal and hepatic function Trough levels for gentamicin and tobramycin should be less than 1 g/ml, and for amikacin they should be less than 4 5 g/ml Trough levels for vancomycin should be g/ml ATS, IDSA. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005;171:

42 β-lactams Antibiotics T >MIC (% of dosing interval) C max (Peak) Serum level Serum Concentration Time above MIC MIC = 4 C min (Trough) MIC = 2 Time 6 hours

44 Prolonged or Continuous Infusion Extending infusion time, antibiotic levels will be sustained above MIC of targeted organisms 1,2 May potentially result in improved drug efficacy Improve clinical outcomes for meropenem (cure rate 90.5% vs. 59.6%; P <0.001) 3 Prolonged infusion consistently achieved higher pharmacodynamic endpoints 4 Improved clinical outcomes in subgroup of P. aeruginosa infection and APACHE >17 Prospective randomized trial: doripenem 4-hour infusion vs imipenem 30/60-minutes infusion 5 Reduction in development of resistant P. aeruginosa 1.

46 Why Empiric Combination Therapy? A. Synergistic B. More coverage C. Prevent/minimize drug resistance

47 Combination Therapy: Why? Severe infection or critically-ill patient Optimize coverage Exact pathogen is unknown Immunoduratory effect? Prevent emergence of resistance? Synergistic effect? Overuse resistance

48 Optimize Spectrum Coverage Micek ST et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2010;54:

49 Combination Therapy and MDR A. baumannii Yoon J et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2004;48:

50 Combination vs. Monotherapy for Empiric Therapy PRO Synergistic effect in vitro Good outcome in severely ill Septic shock, neutropenia, infection with MDR organisms Higher rate of microbiological cure CON Higher rates of resistance isolates Higher rates of side effects Lack of the power to showed consistent of good outcome No top-level evidence to support or reject* *Kollef MH et al. Clin Infect Dis 2011;53:S33 S55.

51 Combination Therapy: Suggestion For patients who are critically ill and in institutions with high rates of antibiotic resistance Empiric combination therapy is justified If use, not delay! * Early de-escalation to targeted monotherapy when susceptibilities are known With active β-lactam *Kumar A et al. Crit Care Med 2010;38:

52 A Patient with VAP

53 VAP with MDR Pathogens

54 Your Choice A. Combination B. Extended infusion C. Both

55 Vancomycin and S. aureus MSSA Inferior to at least some β-lactams for the treatment of bacteremia and endocarditis MRSA MIC creep Poor therapeutic response Limitations of the clinical lab in detecting reduced susceptibility and resistance Poor penetration into tissue Increasing dose may not safely overcome its poor activity and limited tissue penetration Inferior to some comparators in randomized control trials Combination with a second anti-staphylococcal antibiotic does not improve its therapeutic efficacy Deresinski S. Clin Infect Dis 2007;44:154-8.

56 Monitoring of Vancomycin IV vancomycin mg/kg/dose (actual body weight) every 8-12 h, not to exceed 2 g per dose Trough serum vancomycin concentrations Just before the 4 th or 5 th dose Should always be maintained >10 µg/ml to avoid development of resistance µg/ml are recommended to improve penetration In seriously ill patients, a loading dose of mg/kg Recommended Patients receiving aggressive dosing High risk of nephrotoxicity or unstable renal function Receiving prolonged courses of therapy Raybak M et al. Am J Health-Syst Pharm 2009;66:82-98.

57 Summary 1 Resistance should be a concern issue in clinical practice Infection with bacterial resistance is a leading cause of inadequate treatment and mortality Prompt empiric antimicrobial agents

58 Summary 2 Appropriate and adequate uses of antimicrobial agents Choosing antimicrobial agent depends on clinical indications, patients condition, and drugs profiles Streamline therapy Prolonged infusion and combination when appropriate
