1 Antibiotic Update 2017 Choosing Wisely with Academic Detailing Conference Paul Bonnar MD, FRCPC Oct 21, 2017

2 No disclosures Off-label antibiotic use will be declared

3 Objectives Utilize an antimicrobial stewardship approach for prescribing antibiotics. Appreciate the risks and potential harms of antibiotic use. Review the treatment recommendations for common infectious syndromes.

4 Outline Intro to AMS & why we care about AMR Antibiotic use in the community How to reduce antibiotic use Syndromes

5 Is there an infection? Likely pathogens? Is it bacterial? Resistance issues? Approach to infections Urgency to treat? Non-pharm options? Assessment plan How long should I treat? Goal of therapy

6 What is Antimicrobial Stewardship? Coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure the appropriate use of antimicrobials Right drug Right dose Right duration Right route Barlam. Clin Infect Dis. 2016;62(10):e51 e77 Tamma CID 2017;64(5):537 43

20 ANTIBIOTIC USE IN THE COMMUNITY Dr. Emily Black, Dalhousie Pharmacy

21 Antibiotic use in the community In 2014, 23 million antimicrobials were dispensed 93% dispensed from community pharmacies Most often used to treat respiratory tract infections Total antimicrobials dispensed through community pharmacies within provinces or territories in Canada, 2014 Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System Report, 2016 Available at: health-products/canadian-antimicrobial-resistance-surveillance-system-report html#a3-2-2 Dr. Emily Black, Dalhousie Pharmacy

22 Antibiotic use in the community 65% of Canadians filled a prescription for an antimicrobial to treat a bacterial infection in % amoxicillin 9% azithromycin 8% ciprofloxacin Patterns in antimicrobial use by age group, as dispensed by Canadian Pharmacies, Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System Report, 2016 Available at: Dr. Emily Black, Dalhousie Pharmacy

23 Antibiotic use in the community Management of UTIs Ciprofloxacin was the most commonly recommended antimicrobial agent used to treat 46% of lower UTIs in women Dr. Emily Black, Dalhousie Pharmacy Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System Report, 2016 Available at:

24 Primary care antibiotic use Overall 506 antibiotic prescriptions/1000 pop >30% are unnecessary 50% if include selection, dosing, duration Top 3: sinusitis, otitis media, pharyngitis Acute respiratory conditions 221 antibiotic prescriptions/1000 pop annually 50% unnecessary Fleming-Dutra. JAMA. 2016;315(17): CDC

25 STRATEGIES for COMMUNITY PRESCRIBERS The behaviour of prescribing antibiotics is complex

26 Barriers in community stewardship Knowledge gaps best practices and clinical practice guidelines Clinician perception of patient expectations Perceived pressure to see patients quickly Clinician concerns about decreased patient satisfaction with clinical visits when antibiotics are not prescribed Sanchez.

64 Erysipelas Gp A streptococcus Gp C or G streptococcus Gp B streptococcus S. aureus Beta-hemolytic strep: Predictably penicillin susceptible Streptococcus pyogenes Penicillin, amoxicillin, 1 st generation cephalosporin

65 Predisposing factors Lymphedema, venous stasis, obesity, diabetes mellitus Tinea pedis Management of cellulitis and erysipelas should include elevation of the affected area and treatment of underlying conditions. The skin should be sufficiently hydrated to avoid dryness and cracking without interdigital maceration.

66 No evidence for routine systemic antibiotics Commonly colonized Gram positive and Gram negatives Consider dermatitis Monitor for signs of cellulitis Local heat and tenderness Increasing erythema of the surrounding skin Lymphangitis (red streaks traversing up the limb) Rapid increase in the size of the ulcer Fever Venous Stasis Cochrane Database Syst Rev Jan 10;(1):CD003557
