2 The Evolution of Cooperation When should a person co-operate and when should a person be selfish? should a friend keep providing favors to another friend who never reciprocates?... Under what conditions will co-operation emerge in a world of egoists? Success in an evolutionary "game correlated with Be nice: cooperate, never be the first to defect. Be provocable: return defection for defection, cooperation for cooperation. Don't be envious: be fair with your partner. Don't be too clever: or, don't try to be tricky.

4 Microbiology ID Physician Epidemiology Why Have Antimicrobial Stewardship? ASP ID Pharmacist Information Services Infection Control Antibiotics are unlike any other drugs Anyone can prescribe antibiotics despite a lack of specialized training Antimicrobials benefit the prescribed patient but can impact countless others Resistant microorganisms can be spread to patients who have never received an antibiotic D Goff CA Senate Bill No. 739 Approved by Governor September 28, (a) By January 1, 2008, the department shall take all of the following actions to protect against health care associated infections (HAI) in general acute care hospitals statewide: (4) Require that general acute care hospitals develop a process for evaluating the judicious use of antibiotics, the results of which shall be monitored jointly by appropriate representatives and committees involved in quality improvement activities. 8

5 CA SB 739: What Does this Mean? By January 1, 2008 each CA acute care hospital: Monitor and evaluate antimicrobial use Assemble a quality improvement committee to oversee antimicrobial use Each hospital left to comply on its own CDPH HAI Program interpretation: each CA acute care hospital should have an ASP Meeting February 17, 2011 Formal education course for ASP physician and pharmacist 9 Healthcare Associated Infections Advisory Committee Meeting February 17, 2011 ASP should monitor process and outcome measures: Risk assessment including scope of practice Usage patterns for broad-spectrum antimicrobials Defined Daily Dose (DDD) or Days of Therapy (DOT) Examined for appropriateness Multidrug-resistant organism trends Medical Use Evaluations Antibiogram prepared according to CLSI standards and distributed to clinical staff 10

9 The Association between Antibiotic Use and Resistance Decreasing susceptibility trends over time were not statistically associated with the primary drug (e.g., organism susceptibility rate to imipenem with imipenem usage). However, secondary drug use was associated with susceptibility rates (e.g., susceptibility of E. cloacae to cefepime with piperacillin/tazobactam usage). Conclusions: These results suggest that antibiotic use - resistance relationships are influenced by the use of secondary antibiotics. Thus, a resistance problem may not be adequately addressed by simply altering the utilization of the primary antibiotic. Bosso et al.
