Feola, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Associate Professor, Pharmacy Practice and Science University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy CE Credit in Five Easy Steps! 1. Scan your badge as you enter each session. 2. Carry your Evaluation Packet to every session so you can add session evaluation forms to it. 3. Track your hours on the Statement of Session Attendance Form as you go. 4. At your last session, total the hours and sign both pages of your Statement of Session Attendance Form. Keep the PINK copy for your records. Put the YELLOW and WHITE copies in your Evaluation Packet.

2 Learning Objectives 1. Describe current trends in antimicrobial resistance patterns among problem pathogens 2. Explain antimicrobial stewardship practices, their impact on the spread of resistance, and how they can be implemented in hospital out outpatient infusion settings 3. Discuss how emerging resistance problems impact treatment and therapeutic decision making 4. Describe methods of intervention to ensure optimization of antimicrobial therapy in the home setting Antimicrobial resistance: a crisis in medicine INTRODUCTION 5 Modern Healthcare, August 7, 2006, page 36 Protesting infections from MRSA 2

3 Why Stewardship is Needed Antimicrobial resistance results in Increased morbidity/mortality Increased healthcare costs Practices in antimicrobial use often inadequate, not routinely implemented Up to 50% antimicrobial prescribing inappropriate Causal relationship between antimicrobial use and emergence of resistance Sulfa, BL, AG TCN, MAC, Vanc, FQ No new classes. Modify existing agents. PCN-resistant S. aureus MRSA LZD DAP TIG VRE CTL VISA in 7 states MDR Gram (-), metallo-β-lactamases, carbapenemases A Disturbing Trend Half of companies END ID drug discovery LZD-R S. aureus VRSA Marketed Antibacterial Agents FDA 3

4 Bad Bugs, No Drugs, No ESKAPE ESKAPE pathogens Enterococcus Staphylococcus Klebsiella Acinetobacter Pseudomonas ESBL producers 2011 IDSA update Of the compounds active vs. resistant Gram negative bacteria in clinical development, NONE have activity against bacteria resistant to all currently available drugs No ongoing studies for the most life threatening Gram negative infections where > 20% of patients die Boucher HW et al. CID 2009; 48:1 12. The Critical Balance Importance of appropriate empiric therapy Mortality increases when initial therapy is inappropriate Effect of broad spectrum therapy on resistance Resistance increases when broad spectrum agents are needed; Resistance has a negative impact on outcomes Collateral damage A changing landscape TRENDS IN RESISTANCE 12 4

5 Antimicrobial Use and Resistance Changes in use parallel changes in resistance Patients with resistant infections more likely to have received prior antimicrobials Hospital areas of highest resistance associated with highest antimicrobial use Increased duration of therapy increases likeliness of colonization with resistant organisms Shales DM et al. CID 1997;25: Correlation: Use and Resistance Lepper PM et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2002;46: Collateral Damage Oximinocephalosporins Cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone cause Extended spectrum beta lactamase production Selection of stably derepressed isolates in SPACE bacteria Selection of VRE Contribution to MRSA emergence Increased cases of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea/colitis Dancer SJ.

18 Resistance and OPAT Risk factors for infection with resistant organisms Severity of illness Previous exposure to antimicrobial agents Underlying disease conditions Chronic renal disease, DM, PVD, skin lesions Invasive procedures Dialysis, invasive devices, urinary catheterization Repeated contact with healthcare system Previous colonization with drug resistant organisms Advanced age CDC. Multidrug Resistant Organisms in Non Hospital Healthcare Settings. Resistance and OPAT Home precautions Wash hands with soap and water after physical contact with infected person, and before leaving the home Wash towels after each use Wear disposable gloves for contact of body fluids, and wash hands after glove removal Change linens on a routine basis Clean patient environment regularly Notify all who provide care that the patient is colonized/infected with a multidrug resistant pathogen CDC. Multidrug Resistant Organisms in Non Hospital Healthcare Settings. Treatment Duration CDC Get Smart Website Complete the prescribed course of treatment, even if you are feeling better. Example: CAP Guidelines 2000: We are not aware of any controlled trials that have specifically addressed the question of how long pneumonia should be treated 2007: Patients with CAP should be treated for a minimum of 5 days, should be afebrile for 48 72h, and should have no more than 1 sign of CAP associated clinical instability before discontinuation of therapy.

19 The Issue with Infectious Diseases Research an example Animation of Tables from a meta analysis of treatment of osteomyelitis Highlights the issues with clinical trial data on which we base infectious diseases treatment decisions Limited to case series and studies with extremely small sample sizes Lazzarini L et al. Int J Inf Dis 2005;9: PK/PD Challenges in OPAT Must balance optimum dosing and convenience Continuous infusion of beta lactams increasingly studied Intricate communication required for therapeutic drug monitoring and dosage adjustment in home Adequate dosing must minimize collateral damage Treatment duration with antimicrobials an issue on the horizon Tice AD et al. CID 2004;38: Conclusions Solid understanding by home infusion clinicians of treatment issues involving Gram positive organisms can enhance care Epidemiology Resistance mechanisms Drug utilization Decolonization and hygiene measures Optimal antimicrobial use impacted greatly by OPAT Opportunities for future advancements Opportunities for individual patient interventions 57 19

20 Summary and Conclusions Antimicrobial Stewardship programs show great promise and offer new opportunities for patient care and cost impact Recommendation by both IDSA/ASHP and the CDC offer firm foundations to obtain support and funding for antimicrobial stewardship programs Optimal antimicrobial use impacted greatly by OPAT Opportunities for future advancements Opportunities for individual patient interventions 20
