9 Association b/w antibiotic use and AMR

10 Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model

11 Significant correlation between carbapenem use and its resistance in A. baumannii

12 Campaign to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance in Healthcare Settings 12 Steps to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance: Hospitalized Adults 12 Break the chain 11 Isolate the pathogen 10 Stop treatment when cured 9 Know when to say no to vanco 8 Treat infection, not colonization 7 Treat infection, not contamination 6 Using Antibiogram 5 Practice antimicrobial control 4 Access the experts 3 Target the pathogen 2 Get the catheters out 1 Vaccinate Prevent Transmission Use Antimicrobials Wisely Diagnose & Treat Effectively Prevent Infections Fact: The prevalence of resistance can vary by locale, patient population, hospital unit & length of stay Actions: Know your local ABGM Know your patient population

13 Guidelines CDC - Campaign to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance in Healthcare Settings IDSA/SHEA guidelines on Antimicrobial Stewardship (2007) JCI standards (IM.4/ IM.8) The hospital collects and analyzes aggregate data to support patient care and operations Recommends providing Antibiogram to the clinicians as mandatory to control the spread of MDRO

14 Definition Report generated by analysis of isolates from a particular institute in a defined period of time that reflects the percentage susceptibility to each of the antimicrobial agents routinely tested

15 Pre-2000: No consistent guidelines - Diversity in calculation algorithims - Poor comparability of data b/w institutes First version released in 2000 (M-39P)

16 CLSI. Analysis and Presentation of Cumulative Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Data. M39-2A, 2005

17 Data should be analyzed annually If there are large number of isolates then it can be done 6 monthly.

18 Number of Isolates Minimum no of isolates: 30 Adequate numbers is required for statistically meaningful data. N= 10 Sensitivity= 90% 95% CI= 55%-100% N= 100 Sensitivity= 90% 95% CI= 88%-92% If < 30 isolates: Acceptable to include isolates over a longer period. Report only % susceptibility Clinicians: focus on likelihood of a successful response Microbiologists: % R is more important Focus on changing trends of resistance IS results should be reported as R

19 Location: OPD, WARD, ICU OPD data excludes the community data Sensitivity of A. baumannii in blood to IMP is 20% ICU vs 43% in wards Specimen type Blood, urine, respiratory tract, pus and fluids Organism type GPC GNB

20 Surveillance/ screening cultures eg., MRSA, VRE screening. Repeat isolates Lowers the % susceptibility as MDROs are more often from: Patients with longer hospital stays Patients on multiple antibiotics Examples: - 6 year period study on S. aureus 1 MRSA contributed 39% duplicate (1.90 mean ratio). MSSA contributed 23% duplicates (1.35 mean ratio) - 4 years study on P. aeruginosa % sensitivity 2 All isolates included Repeat isolates excluded Imipenem 70% 80% Ceftazidime 56% 69% Ciprofloxacin 67% 74% Gentamicin 72% 84% 1. Horvat RTet al. J Clin Microbiol 2003;41: Wilkinson ST et al. Presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy, San Francisco, CA, October 23-26, 2005

21 Patient based (recommended by M 39,CLSI) First isolate per patient irrespective of the site. Fewer assumptions Simpler calculations Eliminates maximum number of isolates

22 Description of exact collection period Use of Generic names of antimicrobials Utilization of dash to describe susceptibility data not reported

23 1. Vancomycin susceptibility <100% for S. aureus / Strept. pneumoniae 2. Isolates of Enterococcus spp. tested against cephalosporin or cotrimoxazole 3. Imipenem susceptibility for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 4. Ampicillin susceptibility in Kleb. pneumoniae 5. Sudden changes in the sensitivity patterns. JCM.
