ABSTRACTObjectives: In a context of growing resistance and limited supply of new molecules, a rational use of antibiotics should be a high priority. Our objective is to train healthcare professionals and students in PK/PD and in a correct implementation of guidelines, since this could help to improve antibiotic use in both short and mid-terms.

Methods: We developed a PK/PD – guidelines course on CD-rom, targeted to both physicians and pharmacists but also usable by students. The course was prepared by a team of 2 pharmacists, 1 clinical microbiologist, and 1 pharmacologist. Sources of information were (i) textbooks, review papers and primary papers by internationally recognized experts (ii) materials presented at training workshops of the International Society for Antiinfective Pharmacology (ISAP; www.isap.org) during the last 3 years, (iii) national and, if not available, international guidelines for the management of respiratory tracrtor urinary tract infections.

Results: The course is organized as a series of Power Point presentations covering in a progressive fashion the followings topics : (1) bases in microbiology (in vitro properties of antibiotics); (2) pharmacokinetics (definition of the main parameters); (3) pharmacodynamics, with (A) the concepts, (B) the methods and pertinent models, and (C) the data, including the parameters to take into account to optimize the dosage of the main antibiotic classes; (4) resistance, including (A) the main mechanisms and (B) the use of pharmacodynamics to avoid the selection of resistance; (5) the appropriate use (including appropriate dosages) of antibiotics in (A) respiratory tract and (B) urinary tract infections.

Conclusions:This course promotes continuous education in the pharmacology and pharmacotherapy

of antibiotics, in a format easily usable for courses and seminars to both students and professionals.

OBJECTIVES

to develop an educational programme in which pharmacists and infectious disease specialists train healthcare professionals and students in PK/PD and in a correct implementation of guidelines.

to distribute to people following this course a CD-rom as a support that can be consulted at any time.

INTRODUCTION

Optimizing the use of current antibiotics based on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and rational application of guidelines can contribute to the limitation of resistance development.

In this respect, education of students and healthcare professionals appears as a priority and can be facilitated by making available to them easy-to-consult informative supports.

WHAT WE HOPE AND WHAT WE WILL DO:

the CD-rom should be a continuous information source that could be used for teaching pharmacology and pharmacotherapy of antibiotics to

students and healthcare professionals. may be easily consulted by healthcare professionals at any moment.

We will regularly update it and plan to evaluate its impact on education of students and on the quality of antibiotic prescribing of junior physicians
