5 What are the differences between the 2015 AHA & ESC IE Clinical Practice Guidelines? AHA ESC Antibiotic prophylaxis No (2009) Yes Endocarditis Team No Yes 18F -FDG PET/CT as diagnostic criteria for PVE No Yes Antimicrobial regimens Surgical indications Several differences Some differences

6 What do we have to change from the 2015 AHA & ESC IE Clinical Practice Guidelines? Introduction What are the differences? Future challenges on antimicrobial treatment Take home messages

7 What are the differences in the antimicrobial regimens? AHA ESC Empirical antibiotic therapy VGS/S. gallolyticus IE Depend on symptom evolution and epidemiological factors ( case by case basis ) No differences ESC also recommends Amoxicillin Defined for NVIE & PVE, CA-IE & N/NN HCA IE E. faecalis IE No differences ESC also recommends Amoxicillin and Gentamicin is given QD Staphylococcal NV IE Staphylococcal PVE No differences for MSSA and MRSA. Vancomycin first choice for MRSA. ESC recommends as alternative trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole + clindamycin. Gentamicin QD/BID No differences for MSSA and MRSA. Vancomycin first choice for MRSA. ESC recommends Gentamicin QD/BID

8 Alternative as first line treatment for MSSA or MRSA native valve endocarditis (ESC Guidelines) Habib G et al. Eur Heart J. 2015

9 Trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole + clindamycin as alternative for S. aureus NV IE (ESC Guidelines) Rationale High morbi-mortality for S. aureus endocarditis with current treatment guidelines Toxins? One single center experience ( letter, n=31) Limitations Casalta JP et al. Intern J Antimicrob Agents 2013 Habib G et al. Eur Heart J 2015 Two RCT found that TMP/SMZ is less effective than vancomycin for S. aureus BSI Clindamycin also inferior to vancomycin for BSI (RCT) Hematotoxicity associated with 6 weeks of high doses TMP/SMZ No evidence for any role of toxins in S. aureus endocarditis Markowitz N et al. Annals Intern Med 1992 Paul M et al BMJ 2015 Watanakunakorn et al. Am J Med 1976 Bouchiat C et al. Infect Gen Evol 2015

10 International ID Experts of IE are not following the Antibiotic Regimens of 2015 AHA/ESC Guidelines Recommendations from more than 30 years ago New antibiotics not evaluated in clinical trials No evidence-based medicine to change clinical guidelines H.

13 Needs in IE Antimicrobial Therapy No gentamicin for MSSA NA IE but daptomycin? Role of rifampin The ARREST Trial = No role! Better therapies for susceptible GP cocci Better therapies for MDR GP cocci New strategies: IV Oral De-escalation (several RCT) Role of new antibiotics: Dalbavancin for OPAT, Tedizolid for sequential oral therapy. Optimal treatment for HACEK, ABI/GRA, Fungal, Whipple, Q fever and Bartonella IE

17 What are the problems when we are treating MSSA/MRSA IE with Vancomycin? - Poor bactericidal activity - Poor diffusion within the vegetations - Vancomycin MIC issues (AUC/MIC PD target) - hvisa strains - Tolerance - Renal toxicity High rate of failures Still recommended by 2015 AHA/ESC Guidelines

32 What do we have to change from the 2015 AHA & ESC IE Clinical Practice Guidelines? Introduction What are the differences? Future challenges on antimicrobial treatment Take home messages

33 Take home messages There are several differences between 2015 AHA and ESC Guidelines regarding the recommend antibiotic regimens and their posology. In addition, the ID experts do not follow these recommendations, especially with regard to staphylococcal endocarditis in NV and PVE and NBC-IE. In the next few years, the role of daptomycin in combination and dalbavancin (OPAT) should be defined, as well as the best antimicrobial therapy for E. faecalis IE and whether the sequential IV - oral de-escalation antimicrobial treatment is possible in IE. To change the guidelines, clinical trials and multicenter cohort studies with a large number of patients will be necessary.
