Objectives
• revisit the basic principles of infectious diseases and antibacterial therapy
• re-familiarize yourselves with the different antibiotics
• discuss the approach to some common infections: etiology, investigations, treatment
![Page 3: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Basic Bacteriology• Gram positive– stains purple
• Gram negative– doesn’t stain purple (so counterstains pink)
• Bacilli– rods
• Cocci– spheres
• Coccobacilli– a rod-sphere hybrid, or small rods
![Page 4: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Gram Positive Cocci
• Clusters– usually staphylococci• S. aureus vs “coagulase negative”
• Chains– streptococci (letter streps, viridans
group), Enterococcus, others
• Pairs– Streptococcus pneumoniae
![Page 5: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Gram positive bacilli• Usually important: Clostridium,
Listeria• Usually not important: Bacillus
species, Corynebacteria (Diptheroids), Propionibacterium
![Page 6: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Gram Negative Organisms
• Bacilli:– enterobacteriaceae (E coli, Klebsiella, etc.)– non-fermenters (Pseudomonas,
Stenotrophomonas, Burkholderia, many others)
• Cocci:– Neisseria (diplococci), Moraxella catarrhalis
• Coccobacilli:– Haemophilus influenzae

What bugs cause problems where in a typical healthy
host?
•ear, sinus•lung•meninges•skin•bone, joint•urine•perforated intestine
![Page 12: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Group A Streptococcus
• pharyngitis, cellulitis, bone/joint infection…• universally susceptible to penicillin• most susceptible to clindamycin• macrolide resistance ~30%
![Page 13: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Group B, C, G Streptococcus
• susceptibilities the same as GAS
![Page 14: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
S. aureus
• cellulitis, bone/joint infections, toxic shock, hospital-acquired pneumonia, empyaema, surgical site infections, device-associated infections…
• cloxacillin and 1st gen ceph. best for MSSA• vancomycin and Septra best for MRSA• clindamycin resistance varies (25-50% @
MUMC)
![Page 15: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
S. pneumoniae
• pneumonia, meningitis, sinusitis, otitis, fever without source…
• amoxicillin 75-100 mg/kg/day 1st line– only 6-8% pen-nonsusceptible @ MUMC
• cefuroxime is maybe as good as ampicillin• ceftriaxone 2nd line• vancomycin, levofloxacin options
![Page 16: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why I don’t like the simple paradigm
• what has good ‘gram-positive coverage’?
![Page 17: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Beta-lactam antibiotics
• dose FREQUENTLY for maximum benefit• can treat almost any infection• if “penicillin-allergic”…what to do? – severely limits antibiotic choice -- NEED DETAILS– often misdiagnosed– even if true very little cross-reactivity, ESPECIALLY
with advanced-generation cephalosporins
![Page 22: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Carbapenems -- also beta-lactam
• if you think you need meropenem...you need to be talking to ID
• main uses:– resistant pathogens, including Enterobacter,
Citrobacter, Serratia, and ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase) producing organisms
– polymicrobial infections (including anaerobes)– CSF infections with gram-negative infections
resistant to ceftriaxone
![Page 23: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Which beta-lactams would you choose?
• ear, sinus, lung• meninges• skin• bone, joint• urine• perforated intestine
![Page 24: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Common bacteria resistant to all penicillins and cephalosporins
• MRSA• SPICE (Serratia, Providencia, Indole-positive Proteus,
Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Morganella, Hafnia)• atypicals (Mycoplasma, Chlamydophila)• gram-negatives with extended-spectrum beta-
lactamases (ESBL)• often CFers have resistant Pseudomonas,
Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas
![Page 25: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Aminoglycosides • Gentamicin, Tobramycin, Amikacin
• excellent aerobic gram negative coverage with little community resistance
• some synergy for other organisms (GAS, GBS, enterococci, Listeria)
• IV or IM – not absorbed orally• main limitation toxicity• dose once daily for optimal bacterial killing
![Page 26: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Clindamycin
• good anaerobe coverage “above the diaphragm”
• good viridans strep and GAS coverage• fading MSSA and MRSA coverage– MUMC 2011: ~25% MSSA resistance, ~50% MRSA
resistance
• antitoxin effect (for toxic shock, nec fasc)• good bioavailability, eg. for bone infections
![Page 27: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Vancomycin
• gram positive coverage ONLY• inferior to beta-lactams for GAS and sensitive
S. aureus• first line for coagulase-negative
staphylococcus, MRSA, and ceftriaxone-resistant pneumococcus (extremely rare!)
• commonly used for line infections, neonatal sepsis
![Page 28: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
• only fair gram negative coverage because of significant resistance rates (+++ use)
• often used for UTI prophylaxis• first line for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,
Pneumocystis jiroveci, Nocardia• good choice for MRSA skin/soft tissue
infections • NOT good GAS or pneumococcus coverage
![Page 29: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Metronidazole
• drug of choice for anaerobic gram-negative infections
• first line for C. difficile colitis• very little toxicity• excellent bioavailability and tissue penetration
![Page 30: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Macrolides
• Erythromycin, Clarithromycin, Azithromycin
• first line therapy for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Bordetella pertussis
• Clarithro/azithro have extended gram-negative spectra
• ~30% resistance among GAS/pneumococcus
![Page 31: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Fluoroquinolones
• Ciprofloxacin: excellent gram negative coverage (in paediatrics), often including Pseudomonas and SPICE
• Levofloxacin: fewer gram negatives than Cipro but excellent pneumococcus and Stenotrophomonas coverage
• for these antibiotics po = IV• not licensed in children (beagle cartilage studies)
![Page 32: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Contraindications you should know
• Many of the antibiotics we use are not approved for use in children
• Don’t use:– Ceftriaxone, TMP-SMX in newborns (jaundice)– Tetracyclines < 8 years old (tooth staining)– Quinolones unless compelling reason– Septra or aminoglycosides in worsening RF– Aminoglycosides > 2 wks
![Page 33: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Useful tidbits
• unreliable, little, or no CSF penetration: – oral antibiotics– beta-lactamase inhibitors– first/second generation cephalosporins– macrolides– clindamycin
![Page 34: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Useful tidbits (II)
• clindamycin also is NOT excreted in urine• aminoglycosides almost never used alone• aminoglycosides have poor lung penetration
and generally should not be used for CSF coverage
![Page 35: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Basics of Infectious Disease Therapeutics
![Page 36: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Principles
1. PATHOGENESIS MATTERS2. You do not need to treat
everything that you find 3. If you start with empiric therapy,
narrow your spectrum once you have an organism
4. Beware the immunocompromised patient
![Page 37: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Principles
5. There is no such thing as an antibiotic that covers everything
6. Hospital acquired infections can be different from community acquired infections
7. Keep up to date with resistance patterns in your hospital, region, and country
![Page 38: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1. PATHOGENESIS MATTERS• the pathogenesis of the infection influences:– organisms involved (and so choice of abx)– type of treatment needed – length of therapy
• examples:– osteo of foot with and without nail puncture– E. coli sepsis in a patient with E. coli UTI, in a patient
with a central venous catheter, and in a patient with clinical appendicitis
– lung abscess in patient post-bender vs in a patient after severe pneumonia vs in a patient with endocarditis
![Page 39: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
2. You do not need to treat everything that you find
• Differentiate colonization from true pathogens– eg: endotracheal tube culture results
• Organisms that are reported may just be “innocent bystanders” = colonization
• Some organisms should always be considered pathogens depending where they are from:– e.g. S aureus in blood – never ignore!
![Page 40: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
3. If you start with empiric therapy, narrow your spectrum once you have
an organism
• If unsure, broader always better at outset• but…– Some narrower spectrum abx have much better
activity against certain organisms– Judicious use can minimize resistance– Minimize complications/adverse events
![Page 41: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
4. Beware the immunocompromised patient
• Immune compromise may be due to:– Steroids, immunosuppressant medications– Chemotherapy– Premature neonates– Congenital/primary immunodeficiency– advanced HIV– splenic disorders (eg sickle cell) – severe disease (eg. nephrotic syndrome)
• Presentation may differ and pathogens may differ in these patients!
![Page 42: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
5. There is no such thing as an antibiotic that covers everything
• even the broadest spectrum antibiotics have no activity against certain pathogens
• don’t forget: if the antibiotic doesn’t get to the infection, it won’t help!
• even appropriate antibiotic therapy will not eradicate the infection if...– abscess– necrotizing fasciitis– infected vascular catheter or hardware
![Page 43: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
6. Hospital-acquired infections can be very different from community-acquired ones (aka pathogenesis
matters)• Pneumonia that starts after 48 hrs in hospital
is very different from pneumonia on admission – why?– more S. aureus, gram negatives (especially
Pseudomonas), and resistant organisms
![Page 44: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
7. Keep up to date with resistance patterns
• In your community– e.g. S. pneumoniae resistance to penicillin
• In your hospital– e.g. methicillin-resistant S. aureus
• In your patient– e.g. based on previous culture results
![Page 45: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Approach to Infectious Diseases
• IS it an infection?• Where is the infection?• What is the infection?• Which antibiotics?
![Page 46: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Where is the infection?
• systemic?• particular organ system or location?– eg. surgical site
![Page 47: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
What is the infection?
• What are the most common pathogens causing this type of infection?
• Who is the host?– age– immune status– underlying illness
![Page 48: Bugs and Drugs: an approach to the management of infections J. Pernica Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d345503460f94a0a60f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Which antibiotics to use?
• What are the pathogens we are worried about?
• Are there particular pharmacokinetic considerations?– CSF penetration– renal failure
• is the host on any other medications that will interact with the antibiotics?
• allergies?
