1 Infectious Disease Update: The latest adult treatment recommendations Margaret Fitzgerald, DNP, FNP-BC, NP-C, FAANP, CSP, FAAN, DCC President, Fitzgerald Health Education Associates, Inc. North Andover, MA Family Nurse Practitioner Greater Lawrence (MA) Family Health Center Editorial Board Member The Nurse Practitioner Journal, Prescriber s Letter, American Nurse Today Objectives Having completed the learning activities, the participant will be able to: Discuss factors influencing the development of antimicrobial resistance. Identify factors influencing the choice of an antimicrobial for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial sinusitis. 2 Objectives Having completed the learning activities, the participant will be able to: (cont.) Recognize the efficacy of standard and newer antimicrobials for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial sinusitis. 3
2 Are the bugs winning? Is this a new problem? 4 In Late 1920s Sir Alexander Fleming 1 st to suggest that penicillium mold must secrete antibacterial substance. 1 st to isolate active substance which he named penicillin. 5 Sir Alexander Fleming June 26, 1945, New York Times the microbes are educated to resist penicillin and a host of penicillin-fast (resistant) organisms is bred out 6
3 Sir Alexander Fleming June 26, 1945, New York Times In such cases the thoughtless person playing with penicillin is morally responsible for the death of the man who finally succumbs to infection with the penicillin-resistant organism. I hope this evil can be averted. 7 The decisionmaking process where the clinician chooses the agent based on patient characteristics and site of infection. Empiric Antimicrobial Therapy 8 Questions to Ask Prior to Choosing an Antimicrobial What is/are the most likely pathogen(s) causing this infection? What is the spectrum of a given antimicrobial s activity? What is the likelihood of resistant pathogen? What is the danger if there is treatment failure? 9
4 What facilitates resistance? Time Exposure Unnecessary doses Long tx period Under dosing Leaves behind more resistant bugs 10 True or false? In a study of antimicrobial prescribing among primary care providers, physicians in high-volume practices and those who were in practice longer were more likely to prescribe antibiotics inappropriately. Source- CMAJ October 9, 2007; 177(8). 11 What determines antibiotic dose? The pharmacological absorption and distribution of the antibiotic will influence the dose, route and frequency of administration of the antibiotic in order to achieve an effective dose at the site of infection.

Ray, Ph.D., Katherine T. Murray, M.D., Kathi Hall, B.S., Patrick G. Arbogast, Ph.D., and C. Michael Stein, M.B., Ch.B. N Engl J Med Volume 366(20): May 17, Background Information Macrolide antibiotics Azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin Clarithromycin, erythromycin Long known to have proarrhythmic potential, use increases risk of serious ventricular arrhythmias, associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death 30
11 Background Information Azithromycin Thought relatively free of cardiotoxic effects The FDA s Adverse Event Reporting System includes at least 20 reports of torsades de pointes associated with azithromycin use. 31 For Additional Information, True or false? The risk of torsades de pointe with erythromycin or clarithromycin is greater in females than in males. 32 Torsades de Ponte 33
12 Study Conclusion In conclusion, during 5 days of azithromycin therapy, there was a small absolute increase in cardiovascular deaths. 34 Study Conclusion As compared with amoxicillin, there were 47 additional cardiovascular deaths per 1 million courses of azithromycin therapy. For patients in the highest decile of baseline risk of cardiovascular disease, there were 245 additional cardiovascular deaths per 1 million courses. 35 What about treating the older adult with COPD exacerbation, typically a group with significant cardiovascular risk, in need of antimicrobial therapy? 36
13 Sanford Guide Recommendation for Antimicrobial Therapy Mild to moderate COPD exacerbation/ acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis Antimicrobial therapy usually not indicated. If prescribed, consider using the following agents: Amoxicillin Cephalosporin TMP-SMX Doxycycline Source- Gilbert, D., Moellering R., Eliopoulos, G., Chambers, H., Saag, M. (2012) The Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy (42nd ed.). Sperryville, VA: Antimicrobial Therapy, Inc. 37 Sanford Guide Recommendation for Antimicrobial Therapy More severe COPD exacerbation/ acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis One of the following: Amoxicillin-clavulanate Cephalosporin Azithromycin Clarithromycin Fluoroquinolone with activity against DRSP (Moxi-, gemi-, levofloxacin) Source- Gilbert, D., Moellering R., Eliopoulos, G., Chambers, H., Saag, M.

14 FDA Requests Boxed Warnings on Fluoroquinolone Antimicrobial Drugs The risk of developing fluoroquinolone-associated tendinitis and tendon rupture is further increased in people older than 60, in those taking corticosteroid drugs, and in kidney, heart, and lung transplant recipients. 40 FDA Requests Boxed Warnings on Fluoroquinolone Antimicrobial Drugs Patients experiencing pain, swelling, inflammation of a tendon or tendon rupture should be advised to stop taking their fluoroquinolone medication and to contact their healthcare professional promptly about changing their antimicrobial therapy. 41 FDA Requests Boxed Warnings on Fluoroquinolone Antimicrobial Drugs Patients should also avoid exercise and using the affected area at the first sign of tendon pain, swelling, or inflammation. 42
15 And last but not least on antibiotic sparing behavior Acute bronchitis 43 True or false? In otherwise healthy patients, purulent sputum usually indicates the presence of sloughed tracheobronchial epithelium and inflammatory cells, not bacterial burden. Source- Gonzales R, Sande MA. Uncomplicated acute bronchitis. Ann Intern Med 2000;133: True or false? In a study involving 2781 healthy adults, the median duration of cough from acute bronchitis due to all causes was 18 days.

17 Type of infection Acute, uncomplicated urinary tract infection (cystitis, urethritis) in nonpregnant women Usual pathogens E. coli (Gm neg, most common pathogen), S. saprophyticus (Gm pos), Enterococci (Gm pos) Regimens Primary If local E. coli resistance to TMP/SMX<20% and no allergy, then TMP/SMX-DS BID x 3 days If local E. coli resistance to TMP/ SMX>20% or sulfa allergy, nitrofurantoin X 5 d or fosfomycin X 1 dose, all plus phenazopyridine (Pyridium ) 49 Type of infection Acute, uncomplicated urinary tract infection (cystitis, urethritis) in nonpregnant women (cont.) Usual pathogens E. coli (Gm neg, most common pathogen), S. saprophyticus (Gm pos), Enterococci (Gm pos) Regimens Alternative If local E. coli resistance to TMP/ SMX>20% or sulfa allergy, ciprofloxacin 250 mg BID, ciprofloxacin ER 500 mg QD, levofloxacin 250 mg QD, or moxifloxacin 400 mg QD, all for 3 days, all plus phenazopyridine (Pyridium ) Gemifloxacin not labeled for use in UTI, likely effective. Nitrofurantoin 100 mg BID X 5 d or fosfomycin 3 g X 1 dose, all plus phenazopyridine (Pyridium ) 200 mg TID X 2 d 50 Type of infection Acute, uncomplicated urinary tract infection (cystitis, urethritis) in nonpregnant women (cont.) Usual pathogens E. coli (Gm neg, most common pathogen), S. saprophyticus (Gm pos), Enterococci (Gm pos) Regimens Alternative (cont,) Amoxicillin-clavulanate 875/125 mg BID x 5-7 days or an oral cephalosporin (e.g., cephalexin 500 mg qid x 5-7 days or cefpodoxime proxetil 100 mg BID x 3 days) Beta-lactams generally less efficacious than fluoroquinolones or TMP-SMX and should be reserved for cases where other agents cannot be used. 51
18 Per Sanford Guide Fosfomycin 3 G taken as a 1 time dose Spectrum of antimicrobial activity Less effective vs. E. coli when compared to multiple doses of TMP- SMX Active again E. faecalis, poor activity against other coliforms 52 Fosfomycin (Monurol ) Indications Treatment of uncomplicated UTIs in women due to susceptible strains of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis Not indicated for the treatment of pyelonephritis or perinephric abscess 53 Fosfomycin (Monurol ) Pregnancy risk category B based largely on lab animal studies Cost 1 packet=1 dose=~$45 on drugstore.com 54
19 Fosfomycin (Monurol ) per PI Do not use more than one single dose of Monurol to treat a single episode of acute cystitis. Repeated daily doses of Monurol did not improve the clinical success or microbiological eradication rates compared to single dose therapy, but did increase the incidence of adverse events. 55 Per Up To Date Fosfomycin- A single-dose 3 gram sachet is an acceptable agent for women with mild to moderate infections who cannot take TMP-SMX or nitrofurantoin.
