Bacterial Etiology of ABRS
• S.pneumoniae 30-35%– With 20-30% intermediate and high level
resistance to penicillin• H.influenzae 15-25%
– With 30-40% β-lactamase producers• M.catarrhalis 5-10%
– With 99% β
-lactamase producers

Benefit of antibiotics for therapy of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis
• The cumulative randomized, double-blind trials suggest that antibiotics are significantly more effective than placebo in decreasing or eliminating symptoms, but the effect is small– 81% of those treated and 66% of placebo
treated responded at 10-14 days

Clinical Practice Guideline on Adult Sinusitis
• If a decision is made to treat ABRS with an antibiotic, the clinician should prescribe amoxicillin as first line therapy for most adults (PCN allergic – macrolides)

IDSA Guidelines: Acute Uncomplicated UTI in Women
• Resistance to TMP-SMX is increasing– In some areas, resistance as high as 20%-30% – Resistance overestimated ?
• Selection bias of treatment failures
– Still useful as empiric therapy• If prevalence of resistance is ≤20% should be
considered the current standard therapy

TMP-SMX in Tx of Women with Uncomplicated UTI
• Study patients: women with clinical symptoms and pyuria, bacteriuria
• Urine sent for C & S• TMP-SMX DS BID x 5 days• Culture + patients divided to 2 groups:
– TMP-SMX susceptible– TMP-SMX resistant

TMP-SMX in Tx of Women with Uncomplicated UTI
• Overall: 29% TMP-SMX resistance; E. coli: 19% TMP-SMX resistance
• Microbiological cure:– TMP-SMX susceptible: 82%– TMP-SMX resistant: 42%
• Clinical cure:– TMP-SMX susceptible: 88%– TMP-SMX resistant: 54%

Antibiotics for UTIs
• Fluoroquinolones – ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, gatifloxacin– Active against most enteric gram-negatives– Achieves high urine and tissue levels– Can be given for 3 days– Development of resistance is concern
![Page 17: Antibiotics in the ICU: Resistance, Rotation, and More ... · PDF fileCase presentation 45 year old woman ... • Study patients: women with clinical symptoms and pyuria, ... – Major](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5aa54f6f7f8b9ae7438d33a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Antibiotics for UTIs
• Nitrofurantoin– Active against E.coli (> 95%)– Less active against other GNR’s and no activity against
Pseudomonas and Proteus– High levels in urine, but no tissue penetration– Should be given for 7 days
• Fosfomycin– Active against E.coli (> 90%)– Approved as single dose treatment of uncomplicated
cystitis (3gm sachet dissolved in 3-4 oz of water)

Case (Cont)
After multiple treated UTIs patient diagnosed with pyelonephritis and is admitted to the hospital. You suspect a resistant organism and order a urine culture. 48 hours later you find out it’s an extended- spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E.coli

β-Lactamases
• Most important mechanism of resistance to β-lactams, especially in gram-negatives
• Hundreds of different enzymes• Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)
– MICs unpredictable

ESBLs: Clinical Implications• Found in E.coli, Klebsiella, Proteus• Prevalence increasing (3-10%)• Should be considered resistant to all penicillins,
cephalosporins and aztreonam• Carbapenems (ertapenem, meropenem, imipenem,
doripenem) are the β-lactams of choice in serious infections
• ESBL strains are often sensitive to pip/tazo, but few clinical data to support efficacy

Carbapenems
• Imipenem, meropenem, doripenem active vs most gram-negative pathogens (including ESBL producers) gram –positive pathogens (inclulding E. faecalis, MSSA), anaerobes (as good as flagyl)
• Weaknesses: pseudomonas (rapid emergence of resistance to imipenem), E.faecium, MRSA, MRSE

Carbapenems
• Ertapenem does not have activity against P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter (otherwise it approximates meropenem spectrum of activity)
• Once daily dosing convenient for outpatient therapy
• Elimination: 80% in the urine (38% unchanged drug)– Dose reduction by 50% in Clcr < 30 ml/min

Ertapenem: FDA Indications
• Intra-abdominal• Urinary tract infection• Skin and soft tissue infection including
diabetic foot infection• Acute pelvic infection• Community acquired pneumonia

Tigecycline (Tygacil) Spectrum of Activity
• Gram negative: active vs most aerobic gram negative pathogens, including ESBLs– Less active vs Proteus, Morganella, Providencia– No activity vs Pseudomonas
• Gram positive: active vs MRSA, MRSE, enterococcus, streptococci, VRE
• Anaerobes: both gram positive and gram negative

Tigecycline (Tygacil®)
• Dosing: 100 mg LD, then 50 mg Q12h• Low serum levels but high tissue levels (problem
in bacteremia!!)• No significant drug interactions• Adverse events:
– High rate of upper GI side effects– Tetracycline-like bone and teeth deposition:
contraindicated in pregnancy and children <8 yo– Development of resistance

Tigecycline: Place in Therapy• FDA indications: Complicated SSTI (equal to
vancomycin/aztreonam) and intra-abdominal infection (equal to imipenem)
• Despite limited clinical experience, will most likely be useful in the treatment of ESBL- producing organisms and multi-drug resistant acinetobacter especially in patients with β-lactam hypersensitivity
• Tigecycline’s lack of Pseudomonas coverage and low serum concentrations will limit its use in septic patient populations

Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial of cephalexin for SSTI
• 166 outpatient subjects comparing placebo to cephalexin at 500 mg orally qid x 7days after I&D of skin and soft tissue abscesses
• Primary outcome: clinical cure or failure 7 days post I&D
• 88% MRSA isolates (93% + PVL gene)• Clinical cure rates:
– 90.5% in placebo (n=84)– 84.1% in cephalexin (n =82)

Oral Antistaphylococcal Agents
• TMP- SMX – Most MRSA are susceptible (~95%)– One comparative clinical trial showed it was
slightly less efficacious than vancomycin (Markowitz et al. Annals of Internal Medicine 1992;117:390)
– Not much published, most experience in minor to moderate SSTI

Oral Antistaphylococcal Agents
• Clindamycin:– FDA approved for staphylococcal infections– Oral dose at 300-450 mg tid– Excellent coverage against GAS– Major issue is cross-resistance with macrolides
• Can use if macrolide susceptible• If macrolide resistant, but clindamycin susceptible, use of
clindamycin depends upon whether inducible resistance exists. Requires “D” test to determine if inducible resistance is present

Oral Antistaphylococcal Agents
• Minocycline > doxycycline > tetracycline– 90+ % of MRSA are susceptible, limited clinical data,
but equal to vancomycin in animal model.
• Fluoroquinolones: rapid emergence of resistance for MRSA
• Rifampin: rapid emergence of resistance when used alone

Treatment of Clostridium difficile infection
• Initial antibiotic therapy– Moderate disease: metronidazole PO 250 mg qid or 500
mg tid x 10d – Severe disease: vancomycin po 125-500 mg qid x 10d
• Management of CDAD– Stop offending antibiotic (~20% may resolve)– Avoid antiperistaltics– Hand hygiene
• Soap and water (hand gels ineffective)
