Why Empiric Combination Therapy? A. Synergistic B. More coverage C. Prevent/minimize drug resistance

Combination Therapy: Why? Severe infection or critically-ill patient Optimize coverage Exact pathogen is unknown Immunoduratory effect? Prevent emergence of resistance? Synergistic effect? Overuse resistance http://prod.hopkins-abxguide.org/soap/servlet/cmehandler.

Optimize Spectrum Coverage Micek ST et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2010;54:1742-8.

Combination vs. Monotherapy for Empiric Therapy PRO Synergistic effect in vitro Good outcome in severely ill Septic shock, neutropenia, infection with MDR organisms Higher rate of microbiological cure CON Higher rates of resistance isolates Higher rates of side effects Lack of the power to showed consistent of good outcome No top-level evidence to support or reject* *Kollef MH et al. Clin Infect Dis 2011;53:S33 S55.

Combination Therapy: Suggestion For patients who are critically ill and in institutions with high rates of antibiotic resistance Empiric combination therapy is justified If use, not delay! * Early de-escalation to targeted monotherapy when susceptibilities are known With active β-lactam *Kumar A et al. Crit Care Med 2010;38:1773-38.

A Patient with VAP

VAP with MDR Pathogens

Your Choice A. Combination B. Extended infusion C. Both

Vancomycin and S. aureus MSSA Inferior to at least some β-lactams for the treatment of bacteremia and endocarditis MRSA MIC creep Poor therapeutic response Limitations of the clinical lab in detecting reduced susceptibility and resistance Poor penetration into tissue Increasing dose may not safely overcome its poor activity and limited tissue penetration Inferior to some comparators in randomized control trials Combination with a second anti-staphylococcal antibiotic does not improve its therapeutic efficacy Deresinski S. Clin Infect Dis 2007;44:154-8.

Monitoring of Vancomycin IV vancomycin 15-20 mg/kg/dose (actual body weight) every 8-12 h, not to exceed 2 g per dose Trough serum vancomycin concentrations Just before the 4 th or 5 th dose Should always be maintained >10 µg/ml to avoid development of resistance 15-20 µg/ml are recommended to improve penetration In seriously ill patients, a loading dose of 25-30 mg/kg Recommended Patients receiving aggressive dosing High risk of nephrotoxicity or unstable renal function Receiving prolonged courses of therapy Raybak M et al. Am J Health-Syst Pharm 2009;66:82-98.

Summary 1 Resistance should be a concern issue in clinical practice Infection with bacterial resistance is a leading cause of inadequate treatment and mortality Prompt empiric antimicrobial agents

Summary 2 Appropriate and adequate uses of antimicrobial agents Choosing antimicrobial agent depends on clinical indications, patients condition, and drugs profiles Streamline therapy Prolonged infusion and combination when appropriate
