Antimicrobial Surgical Prophylaxis
Antimicrobial Surgical Prophylaxis The antimicrobial surgical prophylaxis protocol establishes evidence-based standards for surgical prophylaxis at The Nebraska Medical Center. The protocol was adapted from the recently published consensus guidelines from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), and the Surgical Infection Society (SIS) and customized to Nebraska Medicine with the input of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program in concert with the various surgical groups at the institution. The protocol established here-in will be implemented via standard order sets utilized within One Chart. Routine surgical prophylaxis and current and future surgical order sets are expected to conform to this guidance. Antimicrobial Surgical Prophylaxis Initiation Optimal timing: Within 60 minutes before surgical incision o Exceptions: Fluoroquinolones and vancomycin (within 120 minutes before surgical incision) Successful prophylaxis necessitates that the antimicrobial agent achieve serum and tissue concentrations above the MIC for probable organisms associated with the specific procedure type at the time of incision as well as for the duration of the procedure. Renal Dose Adjustment Guidance The following table can be utilized to determine if adjustments are needed to antimicrobial surgical prophylaxis for both pre-op and post-op dosing.

Associate Professor- Microbiology Chettinad Hospital & Research Insitute ABSTRACT Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), commonest cause of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) has only limited treatment options like vancomycin, Linezolid and teicoplanin. Staphylococcus aureus with reduced susceptibilities to vancomycin is developing nowadays among nosocomial infec- tion. A newest cephalosporin – Ceftaroline has received FDA approval for the treatment of ABSSSI recently has unique activity against MRSA. The aim of the study is to know the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in ABSSSI patients and to evaluate the in vitro activity of Ceftaroline, in comparison with other drugs. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for vancomycin and Ceftaroline were determined by E-test strips. Out of 235 Staphylococcus aureus isolated from ABSSSI patient 32% were MRSA. No vancomycin resistant strain isolated in our study. In vitro, Ceftaroline control the growth of MRSA very effectively at 2mg/ml itself. Ceftaroline is a most welcomed drug in the treatment of MRSA. INTRODUCTION: MATERIALS AND METHODS: Complicated skin and skin structure infection (CSSSIs), now This study was carried out in Chettinad health city and known by the new US FDA as Acute bacterial skin and skin Research Institute, a tertiary care center hospital (Chen- structure infections (ABSSSI) are the most common infec- nai) between April 2013 and May 2014.

Introduction Class A or Bush Group 1 extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are inhibited by clavulanic acid. This may be detected by testing the suspected organism to a 3rd generation cephalosporin alone and in combination with clavulanic acid. If the combination results in an expanded zone of inhibition compared to that of the 3rd generation cephalosporin alone, it is indicative of the presence of an ESBL. II. Materials Mueller-Hinton (MH) agar (150) mm 20/10 mg amoxicillin-clavulanate disc 30 mg ceftazidime disc 30 mg ceftriaxone or cefotaxime disc 30 mg aztreonam disc 10 mg cefpodoxime disc (optional) 30 mg cefoxitin disc Quality control strain: E. coli ATCC 51446 III. Procedure 1. Prepare a bacterial suspension of the organism to be tested that has a turbidity equivalent to that of a 0.5 McFarland standard. 2. Inoculate a Mueller-Hinton agar plate with this suspension in accordance with NCCLS M100-S10 (M2) guidelines for disc diffusion testing. 3. Place the amoxicillin-clavulanic acid disc towards the centre of the plate. 4. Carefully measure 15 mm out from the edge of that disc at 90o angles marking the plate. 5. Place a ceftazidime disk on the plate so that its inner edge is 15 mm (the mark) from the amoxicillin-clavulanic acid disc (See Figure 1 KB-ESBL Template).

Ampicillin/Sulbactam Vs. Cefoxitin for the Treatment of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology 5:319–325 (1997) © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc. Ampicillin/Sulbactam Vs. Cefoxitin for the Treatment of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Joseph G. Jemsek* and Frank Harrison Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Charlotte Memorial Hospital, Charlotte, NC ABSTRACT Objective: The safety and efficacy of ampicillin plus sulbactam were compared with those of ce- foxitin in the treatment of women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Methods: This single-site, randomized, prospective, third-party-blinded, comparative, parallel- treatment study enrolled 93 women with a diagnosis of PID. Patients were treated with either ampicillin/sulbactam (2 g/1 g, administered intravenously [IV], every 6 h) or cefoxitin (2 g, admin- istered IV, every 6 h) for a minimum of 12 doses. Patients with cultures positive for Chlamydia trachomatis also received concurrent oral or IV doxycycline (100 mg twice daily). Patients with cultures negative for C. trachomatis received prophylactic oral doxycycline (100 mg twice daily) for 10–14 days after treatment with either ampicillin/sulbactam or cefoxitin was completed. Results: Ninety-three patients were entered in the study: 47 in the ampicillin/sulbactam arm and 46 in the cefoxitin arm. All 93 patients were evaluable for safety; 61 (66%) were evaluable for efficacy. Demographic characteristics were similar for the groups. Of the 27 evaluable ampicillin/ sulbactam-treated patients, 67% experienced clinical cure, 30% improved, and 4% failed treatment. Respective values for the 34 cefoxitin-treated patients were 68%, 24%, and 9% (P = 0.67). Patho- gens were eradicated in 70% of the women given ampicillin/sulbactam vs. 56% of those who re- ceived cefoxitin (P = 0.64).

Management of Penicillin and Beta-Lactam Allergy
Management of Penicillin and Beta-Lactam Allergy (NB Provincial Health Authorities Anti-Infective Stewardship Committee, September 2017) Key Points • Beta-lactams are generally safe; allergic and adverse drug reactions are over diagnosed and over reported • Nonpruritic, nonurticarial rashes occur in up to 10% of patients receiving penicillins. These rashes are usually not allergic and are not a contraindication to the use of a different beta-lactam • The frequently cited risk of 8 to 10% cross-reactivity between penicillins and cephalosporins is an overestimate based on studies from the 1970’s that are now considered flawed • Expect new intolerances (i.e. any allergy or adverse reaction reported in a drug allergy field) to be reported after 0.5 to 4% of all antimicrobial courses depending on the gender and specific antimicrobial. Expect a higher incidence of new intolerances in patients with three or more prior medication intolerances1 • For type-1 immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IgE-mediated), cross-reactivity among penicillins (table 1) is expected due to similar core structure and/or major/minor antigenic determinants, use not recommended without desensitization • For type-1 immediate hypersensitivity reactions, cross-reactivity between penicillins (table 1) and cephalosporins is due to similarities in the side chains; risk of cross-reactivity will only be significant between penicillins and cephalosporins with similar side chains • Only type-1 immediate hypersensitivity to a penicillin manifesting as anaphylaxis, bronchospasm,
