6 Susceptibility Testing CLSI 2006 Susceptible Intermediate Resistant MIC Breakpoint 2 mcg/ml 4 8 mcg/ml 16 mcg/ml There is a considerable variability in MIC results depending on the method used Acceptable variability for MIC methods is +/- one doubling dilution For isolates with a vancomycin MIC 2 mcg/ml, the clinical response should determine the continued use of vancomycin, independent of MIC ( I) For isolates with a vancomycin MIC > 2 mcg/ml, alternative therapy should be used (I) 31 Treatment Failure Persistent MRSA Bacteremia Consideration factors when contemplating change in therapy (I) Overall clinical response, vancomycin trough concentrations, results of susceptibility testing (i.e., MIC), presence of and ability to remove other foci of infection Antibiotic Considerations (Cubicin ) PLUS Gentamicin (Bactrim ) Adult Dose 10 mg/kg IV daily 1 mg/kg IV Q 8H 600 mg PO/IV daily or mg PO/IV BID 600 mg PO/IV BID 5 mg/kg (TMP) IV BID 32 Reduced Susceptibility to and? Alternative therapeutic options Quinupristin-dalfopristin 7.5 mg/kg/dose IV Q 8 H Low response rates for endocarditis and bacteremia of unknown source 5 mg/kg/dose (TMP component) IV BID 600 mg PO/IV BID Poor outcomes for left-sided endocarditis Telavancin 10 mg/kg/dose IV daily A case report of persistent MRSA bacteremia successfully treated Role of Adjunctive Treatment of MRSA Protein synthesis inhibitors (i.e., clindamycin, linezolid) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) are not routinely recommended as adjunctive therapy (I) Limited and conflicting in vitro and animal model data Some experts may consider these agents in selected scenarios Toxic shock syndrome Necrotizing/cavitary pneumonia Severe sepsis Center for Disease Control MRSA Prevention Strategies MRSA interventions primarily target two broad areas Preventing transmission from colonized to uncolonized persons Preventing infection in colonized individuals Core Strategies High levels of scientific evidence supporting use Demonstrate high levels of feasibility Supplemental Strategies Variable scientific evidence supporting use Demonstrate variable levels of feasibility 35 Prevention Strategies Core Strategies Assessing hand hygiene practices Implementing contact precautions Recognizing previously colonized patients Rapidly reporting MRSA lab results Providing MRSA education for healthcare providers and family members Supplemental Strategies Active surveillance testing Decolonization Chlorhexidine bathing in high-risk patient population
