Introduction

• “The thoughtless person playing with penicillin treatment is morally responsible for the death of the man who succumbs to infection with the penicillin-resistant organism. I hope this evil can be averted.”

- Sir Alexander Fleming

Introduction

• Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are increasing at an alarming rate• 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths associated with antibiotic-resistant

bacteria annually• Misuse of antimicrobial agents is the major contributing factor to

disseminated resistance• Up to 50% of antimicrobials prescribed in the outpatient, emergency, and

acute care settings are unnecessary or inappropriate• Up to 75% of antimicrobials in the long-term care setting are prescribed

inappropriately

9

Introduction

• Older adults are at a high risk of infection with MDROs• Immune system naturally weakens over time

• Immunosenescence

• Have likely been exposed to many courses of antibiotics over time• Comorbidities may predispose to acquiring certain infections

• Examples: diabetes, COPD

• May be at higher risk for adverse effects associated with antimicrobial treatment• C.difficile infection

Introduction

• Antimicrobial therapy crosses into most, if not all, areas of pharmacy practice• Many antibiotics are either unnecessary, or prescribed

inappropriately, all of which may contribute to antimicrobial resistance• No indication for antibiotic therapy• Incorrect antibiotic for the disease• Incorrect dose, frequency or duration

• Limited development of new antibiotics, particularly novel antibiotics

11

Goals of Antimicrobial Therapy

• In general, ultimate goal is to eradicate the causative organism of infection• Treat infection appropriately

• Empiric therapy: target most likely pathogens for the disease state• Definitive therapy: use the least broad-spectrum, yet most appropriate,

therapy to target the known pathogen

• Minimize the development of antimicrobial resistance• Use most narrow-spectrum, effective agent possible• Judicious overall use of antimicrobials

• Example: Abx use for infections likely due to viral causes

Antimicrobial Considerations

• Empiric therapy• Broad-spectrum agent(s) with reliable coverage against the most likely

causative pathogens

• Definitive therapy• Can generally only be done after obtaining culture and sensitivity results• May use other tests to guide therapy, such as PCRs

• Duration of treatment• Not well-defined, usually based on experience rather than evidence• Generally, 7-14 days for most infections

13

Antimicrobial Stewardship

• SNAP approach to antimicrobial stewardship• Safety, Need, Adequacy, Prudence• Step-by-step process to assess antimicrobial therapy when antibiotics

have already been prescribed• If initially recommending an antibiotic, change to the NAPS approach

Antimicrobial Stewardship

• “S” – Safety• Ask “is it safe for this patient to be receiving this antimicrobial?”• Assessment of allergies• Assess for likelihood of potential adverse drug reactions

15

Antimicrobial Stewardship

• “N” – Need• Ask “Does this paNent need anNmicrobial therapy?

• Does the paNent actually have an infecNon?• Is the infecNon likely to be:

• Bacterial?• Viral?• Fungal?

Antimicrobial Stewardship

• “A” – Adequacy• Ask “Is the prescribed antimicrobial treating, or likely to treat, the

infection?”• Is the antimicrobial a guideline recommended therapy?• Does the antimicrobial provide appropriate coverage against the pathogens

most likely causing the infection?• Will the antimicrobial reach the site of infection?

17

Antimicrobial Stewardship

• “P” – Prudence• Ask “Is this the most prudent drug to use for this infection?”

• Is the drug the most-narrow spectrum agent that will adequately treat this infection?

• This often cannot be fully assessed unless culture and susceptibility results are available

Tracking: Monitoring Antibiotic Prescribing, Use, and Resistance

Does your facility monitor one or more outcomes of antibiotic use?

− Rates of C. difficile infection− Rates of antibiotic resistant

organisms− Rates of adverse drug events due

to antibiotics

Adverse events due to use of medications in skilled nursing homes accounted for nearly 40% of harms identified in a

recent report.1 Antibiotics are among the most frequently

prescribed medications in LTCFs and have a high rate of adverse

drug events.2,3

27

Antibiotic Adverse Drug Events4

20% of hospitalized adults have at least 1 adverse drug event (ADE)

Every 10 days of antibiotic therapy confers a 3% increased risk of ADE

GI (42%), Renal (24%), Blood (15%), Liver (7%), Neurologic (7%)

Golden Nuggets

• Monitoring and documenting antibiotic adverse drug events (AADEs) is critical in reducing future AADEs.• Increasing ongoing surveillance of potential and actual AADEs needs

to be integrated into workflow.• Reducing AADEs requires an interprofessional collaborative effort

championed by the pharmacy team.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to understand:

• The effects of immunosenescence on laboratory values• The complexities of penicillin allergy skin testing and procalcitonin

values• The limitations of current clinical laboratory instrumentation

65

Historical Context: Hippocrates (c. 425 BC)

• Separated medicine from superstition and religion and made it a science• The original uroscopist:

Advocated examination of urine to diagnose disease• “Understand the patient as an

individual”

Clinical Laboratory Values

• 13 billion tests performed annually in the U.S.• Acute (baseline) and chronic changes (trends)• Initiate medication regimens, then adjust based on new information• Order tests only when necessary

• Will you take action on the results?

67

Is a Laboratory Value “WNL” Really Normal?

• Population norms can be established for any physiologic parameter and its laboratory measurement

•Normal lab value = Mean ± 2 SD of healthy people

-i.e., 95% of results

•Thus, 5% of results are classified as "abnormal," even though they represent variability within a normal population

Gram-negative MDROs E. Coli –CipREc• 2016 study in high-risk NH-residents (urinary-catheter or enteral

nutrition tubes or both)• 15% of all NH-residents were colonized with CipREc with an increase of

7.7%/year • 62.2% of CipREc were identified as ST131 (ESBL+)• All residents with CipREc had urinary-catheters• 63.2% of non-colonized residents had urinary-catheters

• Risk of CipREc was higher with suprapubic-catheter vs ureteral- catheters (22.6% vs 12.3%, respectively)

• Interestingly, residents with enteral nutrition tubes were less likely to have CipREc colonization (28.3% vs 49.2%)

Gram-negative MDROs E. Coli –ESBL/ST131• NH-residents are at increased risk of E.coli ST131 infections and

resulting bacteremia • 2014 study showed that being a resident of a LTCF increased the risk of

hospital-onset ESBL bacteremia by 5.1-fold (95%CI 2.2-11.9, p<0.01) in residents without antibiotic use in the past 30 days and without history of ESBL • Odds ratio increased to 6.9 with antibiotic use in prior 30 days• Odds ratio increased by 1.8 if resident had history of ESBL infections (95%CI 1.3-2.7,

p<0.01)• The risk remained elevated even after 48-hours of hospitalization (OR 3.4, 95%CI 1.3-9.0,

p=0.01)

Gram-negative MDROs ESBL E. Coli –Treatment

Antibiotic/Class Place in therapy Indications Comments

Carbapenems Drugs of choice All Consider Etrapenem when pseudomonas and Acinetobacter not suspected Consider extended infusions

Piperacillin-tazobactam Alternative All Debatable whether it should be used in ESBL + infections. Latest study in 2018 supports its use

Fosfomycin Alternative UTI (mild-moderate High resistance threshold to ESBLs but use based on C&S results

Nitrofurantoin Alternative UTI (mild-moderate)

Infect Dis Clin N Am 2016;30:347-75

Polymyxin E/B Drugs of choice for severe infections with evidence of resistance to carbapenems

All Use in combination with other agents (never use monotherapy)

Aminoglycosides Alternative UTI Can be used in the treatment of UTIs is shown susceptible. Do not use monotherapy for severe invasive infections

Cephalosporins AVOID High likelihood of resistance

Fluoroquinolones AVOID

TMP/SMX AVOID
