Category: 2b. Severe sepsis, bacteraemia & endocarditis 25 April 2017, 12:30 - 13:30 P2129 Novel combination of vancomycin (VAN) and cefazolin (CFZ) or ertapenem (ERT): a synergistic combination for complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia Meenal Malviya*1, Michael Rybak2, Nivedita Singh3, Nikki Tran4 1Wayne State University/Dmc; Infectious Disease 2Anti-Infective Research Laboratory; College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Wayne State University 3Anti-Infective Research Laboratory; College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Wayne State University 4College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Wayne State University; Anti-Infective Research Laboratory, College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Wayne State University Background: Vancomycin (VAN) treatment failure of complicated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections has been well described. While In vitro data suggest potent synergy between several beta-lactams (BLs), the combination of VAN and CFZ or ERT has not been well studied. Our objective was to evaluate the potential for synergy with CFZ or ERT with VAN against several different antibiotic resistant phenotypes. Material/methods: VAN, ERT and CFZ MIC testing was performed on 15 randomly selected MRSA strains from the Anti-Infective Research Laboratory library by broth microdilution in duplicate. There were 9 strains of VAN susceptible MRSA, 2 Linezolid resistant (LNZ-R), 2 heteroresistant VISA (hVISA), 2 VAN intermediate susceptible aureus (VISA). VAN MIC values were evaluated in the presence of 0.5 x MIC of CFZ and ERT for all MRSA. The potential for synergy was also evaluated using 24-hour time- kill curve (TKC ) against 10 randomly selected strain from each MRSA phenotype. In TKC experiments, VAN at 0.5 x MIC was used in combination with CFZ and ERT at 0.5 x MIC. Synergy was defined as >2 log10 CFU/ml difference between combination and the most active single agent at 24 hours. Results: MIC values for VAN susceptible MRSA ranged from 0.5 – 2 µg/ml, 8 µg/ml for the 2 VISA strains, 2 µg/ml for hVISA, and 0.5 µg/ml for LNZ-R strains. Ertapenem MIC values for most organism were resistant (MIC>32). In combination MIC studies, VAN MIC decreased (0.5-2) in presence of CFZ and also decreased ( 0.3-2) in presence of ERT among all the MRSA. In TKCs, VAN + CFZ was synergistic against all phenotypes although for VISA strains it was less synergistic. VAN + ERT also showed synergy for most MRSA strains but not less for VISA strains. Overall, they were still synergistic. All single agent exposures demonstrated no activity at 24 hours. The bacterial kill with VAN +CFZ and ERT was significantly greater than VAN alone (p< 0.001). Conclusions: Our data further strengthens previous studies on synergistic combination of VAN with CFZ and for VAN with ERT combination therapy which has not been previously reported. These combinations may be of clinical use especially in cases with persistent bacteremia or complicated MRSA infections. .

  • Ceftazidime for Injection) PHARMACY BULK PACKAGE – NOT for DIRECT INFUSION
    PRESCRIBING INFORMATION FORTAZ® (ceftazidime for injection) PHARMACY BULK PACKAGE – NOT FOR DIRECT INFUSION To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of FORTAZ and other antibacterial drugs, FORTAZ should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. DESCRIPTION Ceftazidime is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactam antibacterial drug for parenteral administration. It is the pentahydrate of pyridinium, 1-[[7-[[(2-amino-4­ thiazolyl)[(1-carboxy-1-methylethoxy)imino]acetyl]amino]-2-carboxy-8-oxo-5-thia-1­ azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-en-3-yl]methyl]-, hydroxide, inner salt, [6R-[6α,7β(Z)]]. It has the following structure: The molecular formula is C22H32N6O12S2, representing a molecular weight of 636.6. FORTAZ is a sterile, dry-powdered mixture of ceftazidime pentahydrate and sodium carbonate. The sodium carbonate at a concentration of 118 mg/g of ceftazidime activity has been admixed to facilitate dissolution. The total sodium content of the mixture is approximately 54 mg (2.3 mEq)/g of ceftazidime activity. The Pharmacy Bulk Package vial contains 709 mg of sodium carbonate. The sodium content is approximately 54 mg (2.3mEq) per gram of ceftazidime. FORTAZ in sterile crystalline form is supplied in Pharmacy Bulk Packages equivalent to 6g of anhydrous ceftazidime. The Pharmacy Bulk Package bottle is a container of sterile preparation for parenteral use that contains many single doses. The contents are intended for use in a pharmacy admixture program and are restricted to the preparation of admixtures for intravenous use. THE PHARMACY BULK PACKAGE IS NOT FOR DIRECT INFUSION, FURTHER DILUTION IS REQUIRED BEFORE USE.

  • 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.
