What Are Your Chances of Encountering MDR Pathogens?

Previously healthy 31-y-old man with 3 young children develops boil on thigh. Despite oral 1 cephalexin, then oral TMP/SMX, he worsens (spreading local redness, induration, fever, chills). Common Older female smoker with self-described “bad Clinical Scenarios lungs” develops fever, chest discomfort, productive in 2016 2 cough. After 3 d oral FQ, says she is not better, and now has dizziness and diarrhea.

Elderly man has prostate biopsy in short procedure unit. Despite oral FQ and IV dose of aminoglycoside 3 periprocedure, he develops a higher fever and rigors later that day. 41

Summary

• New antibiotics directed at resistant Gram-positive organisms must overcome problem of altered PBPs as major mechanism of resistance • Major focus of many new antibiotics for infections caused by resistant Gram-negative pathogens is focused on overcoming beta-lactamase production • Efflux is the mechanism of resistance common to many classes of antibiotics and often explains basis for MDR • Understanding of mechanisms of resistance allows for informed decision making for incorporating new antibiotics in a program of antimicrobial stewardship

Why Develop an ASP? BECAUSE IT WORKS

Reduces antibiotic resistance 1,2 • >Half a million antibiotic-resistant HAIs could be prevented in 5 y • Increased likelihood of adequate initial therapy Improves patient outcomes 2 • Reduced mortality • Fewer AEs, recurrences, readmissions Saves money 2 • Earlier switch from IV to oral therapy • LOS reductions

1. According to US surveillance data from 2011, which of the following beta-lactams is associated with the lowest Streptococcus pneumoniae resistance rate? A. Amoxicillin/clavulanate B. Ceftaroline C. Ceftriaxone D. Penicillin

Rationale: A 14-year longitudinal survey of S pneumoniae (18,911) strains conducted by the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program between 1998 and 2011 showed significant increases in resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanate (18.9%), penicillin at a MIC of ≥4 μg/mL (14.8%), and ceftriaxone (11.7%) among 2011 isolates. In contrast, ceftaroline (99.1%-100.0% susceptible depending on breakpoint criteria) exhibited high levels of potency .

2. A 67-year-old male has been in an intensive care unit (ICU) on a ventilator for 13 days after major trauma. He is on day 6 of antimicrobial therapy for ventilator-acquired pneumonia. Two days ago, he required additional surgery to resect ischemic bowel. Postoperatively, he develops a severe wound infection associated with drainage from which a Gram stain shows Gram-negative bacilli. According to a 2016 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which of the following pathogens is most likely to be multidrug-resistant in this case? A. Enterococci B. Enterobacteriaceae C. Pseudomonas D. Acinetobacter

Rationale: According to data on surgical site infections reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network in 2014 by approximately 4000 short-term acute care hospitals across the United States, of 63 infections that tested positive for Acinetobacter, 47.6% were multidrug-resistant.

3. An 82-year-old female is transferred from a nursing home with fever and decreased mental status. She is on day 3 of a fluoroquinolone for complicated urinary tract infection. She has a long-term Foley catheter; blood pressure, 90/60 mm Hg; 15,000 white blood cells/μL; pyuria; urinalysis loaded with bacteria. Blood and urine cultures are positive for antibiotic-resistant K pneumoniae . Which of the following antibiotics is most likely to be effective for this infection? A. Ceftazidime/avibactam B. Piperacillin/tazobactam C. Levofloxacin D. Meropenem

Rationale: The infection is likely caused by a carbapenem-resistant K pneumoniae (KPC). Of the agents listed, only ceftazidime/avibactam is likely to be active against KPC. The addition of avibactam extends the spectrum of ceftazidime/avibactam to include most Enterobacteriaceae, including AmpC, extended-spectrum beta- lactamases, and KPC carbapenemases.

4. Which of the following investigational antibiotics is a novel fluoroketolide with activity against macrolide- resistant bacteria, including key typical and atypical pathogens of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia? A. Solithromycin B. Plazomicin C. Meropenem/vaborbactam D. Omadacycline

Rationale: Solithromycin, an investigational antibiotic (with an FDA decision expected December 2016), is the only antibiotic fitting the description above. The classes of the other investigational antibiotics listed are as follows: plazomicin (an aminoglycoside); meropenem/vaborbactam (meropenem + novel boronic beta-lactamase inhibitor); omadacycline (tetracycline).

5. A 36-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with a painful, purulent leg nodule (erythema, 10 x 7 cm) and fever (38.6°C). She receives incision and drainage and intravenous (IV) vancomycin and is kept in the observation unit overnight. The next day, the patient is hemodynamically stable and erythema is reduced >25%; culture shows methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Blood cultures are negative. The patient is an IV drug user with a history of noncompliance. Which of the following treatments would provide the most appropriate MRSA coverage while allowing for outpatient treatment of this patient? A. Oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) B. Oral linezolid C. Home IV vancomycin with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line D. IV oritavancin or dalbavancin

Rationale: Oritavancin and dalbavancin are both available as single-dose IV infusions, making them appropriate for the outpatient treatment of ABSSSI, particularly in a patient with a history of drug use and noncompliance. Neither oral TMP/SMX nor oral linezolid provide adequate coverage for MRSA. Home IV programs rarely accept IV drug users with PICC line, since the PICC line could be used for other drugs.

6. A 75-year-old woman is transferred from a long-term care facility for urosepsis. She is placed on piperacillin/tazobactam. On day 3, she is clinically improved and blood and urine cultures reveal pan- susceptible K pneumoniae . According to evidence-based antimicrobial stewardship, which of the following is most appropriate? A. Continue piperacillin/tazobactam and treat for 7 days total B. Continue piperacillin/tazobactam and treat for 14 days total C. De-escalate to cefazolin and treat for 7 days total D. De-escalate to cefazolin and treat for 14 days total

Rationale: Both de-escalation and limiting duration of therapy are principles of antimicrobial stewardship that are recommended by current guidelines. These guidelines are based on studies demonstrating equivalent outcomes in patients who are switched from empiric therapy to pathogen-direct therapy, and in patients who receive shorter course versus longer course antibiotic therapy.
