15 Histrically up t the late 1960 s mst infectins were fatal. Gentamicin 1964 Carbenicillin 1967 Challenged by ceftazidime, imipenem cilastin, ciprflxacin shwn t be effective single agents even in neutrpenic patients Cmbinatin carbenicillin + gentamicin was shw t be synergistic in vitr. Higher survival rates than either drug alne in experimental infectins in animal mdels. Human studies invlving primarily cancer patients (+/- neutrpenia) favured cmbinatin therapy. Klastersky et al, Cancer 1973, Schimpff et al, NEJM 1978 Later studies - betalactam + amingycside/quinlne. Varying results Hilf et al, Am J Med1989, Vidal et al, Arch Intern Med 1996, Leibvici et al, AAC 1997, Siegman-Igra Int J Infect Dis1998, Chatziniklau et al, Arch Int Med 2000, Chamt et al, AAC 2003, Micek et al, AAC 2005, Bwers et al, AAC, 2013 Standard f care

16 Greater likelihd f achieving apprpriate empirical therapy in the setting f drug resistance Peleg et al, NEJM Antimicrbial resistance als results in delayed apprpriate therapy thus ptentially suggesting a benefit fr carefully chsen cmbinatin therapy. Ldise et al, AAC 2007;Tam et al, AAC Initial antimicrbial treatment was administered statistically mre ften amng patients receiving empirical cmbinatin antimicrbial treatment than empirical mntherapy Micek et al, AAC 2005

17 Drug synergy Published testing mdels d nt replicate well in viv (Traugtt et al, Pharmactherapy 2011) Recent studies utilising E tests Dripenem + amikacin r clistin r levflxacin. (He et al, Diagn Micrbil Infect Dis 2012) Merpenem and levflxacin in a PD mdel (Luie et al, AAC 2010) Clinical data lacking. Survival benefit in septic shck Early cmbinatin therapy is assciated with decreased mrtality in septic shck. (Kumar et al, Crit Care Med 2010) Preventin f the develpment f resistance In the muse mdel preventin f the develpment f resistance has been shwn with a cmbinatin f tbramycin and cefepime, and merpenem and levflxacin (Luie et al, AAC 2010) The theretical advantage f minimising emergence f resistant islates has nt been cnfirmed cnclusively in clinical studies

18 Ptential drug txicity ttxicity, renal impairment Increased csts Drug Resistance Expsure t any anti pseudmnal antibitic as mntherapy assciated with an increased risk f subsequent resistance t itself (Bffi EL Amari,Chamt et al 2001) Several studies have suggested that the use f flurquinlnes may select fr islates t becme resistant t all r almst all beta lactam antibitics, aminglycsides and quinlnes. (J, E et al.. Micrb Drug Resist Paramythitu et al, CID Taccnelli et al, Emerg Infect Dis 2002.) Superinfectin

19 Cmparisn f studies same inherent prblems as with empirical therapy Mrtality benefit f definitive treatment with effective antimicrbial therapy has been shwn mre cnsistently Siegman Igra et al. J Infect Dis Vidal et al, Arch Intern Med Chatziniklau et al. Arch Intern Med Chamt et al. AAC Adequate definitive cmbinatin therapy did nt imprve the survival rate (30days) cmpared t the prvisin f adequate definitive mntherapy Chamt et al, AAC Treatment success was higher with cmbinatin therapy as ppsed t beta lactam mntherapy but this was nt statistically significant. Blizits et al PLOSne,2011.

20 Cntinuus infusin r intermittent dsing f antibitics with extended infusin extensively studied fr 15 years. Clinical data appears t supprt this cncept in that aggressive dsing f piperacillin tazbactam imprves utcmes fr critically ill patients with P. aeruginsa BSI Ldise et al, CID Extended infusin cefepime reduces mrtality in patients with a P. aeruginsa bacteremia r pneumnia (MIC range f islates majrity 0.7 t 8, 16,32mg/L) (Bauer et al, AAC, 2013) Length f stay Csts Overall mrtality Higher dses and lnger infusin times better resistance suppressin f bacteria.
