This document outlines the implementation of an antibiogram program at a nursing home to improve antibiotic prescribing. It discusses collecting urine and wound culture data over time to identify local bacterial resistance patterns. Key findings show resistance of E. coli, Klebsiella, and MRSA to many commonly used antibiotics. The antibiogram provides prescribing guidance by showing effective first-line options for common infections like UTIs caused by gram-negative bacteria. Limitations include applicability depending on whether infections were acquired at the facility.
The document discusses antibiotics, specifically focusing on beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins. It describes the classification, mechanisms of action, spectra of activity, pharmacokinetics and clinical uses of different generations of penicillins and cephalosporins. It also addresses antibiotic resistance and the need for rational antibiotic use based on identification of the causative organism and antibiotic susceptibility testing.
This document discusses antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and strategies for combating it. It begins by defining AMR and explaining that microorganisms can develop resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents, becoming "superbugs." It then discusses the global toll of AMR, listing bacteria identified by the CDC as urgent, serious, or concerning threats. The document emphasizes the need for antimicrobial stewardship programs in healthcare facilities to optimize antibiotic use and reduce resistance. It outlines components of stewardship programs like developing treatment guidelines, monitoring antibiotic use and resistance trends, and improving prescribing and de-escalation of therapy. The goal of stewardship is to use the right drug, for the right person, for the right duration. The document stresses

Antimicrobial prophylaxis in UTI - an overview of the evidenceAnahita Sharma
Urinary tract infections are commonly caused by E. coli bacteria entering the urinary tract. Long-term antibiotic prophylaxis can reduce recurrences but increases antibiotic resistance. Studies show it modestly decreases recurrences in children and reduces recurrences and antibiotic use in the elderly by around 50% but resistance is a concern. Alternatives like vaginal estrogen, probiotics, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate may help reduce recurrences in some groups with fewer resistance issues than long-term antibiotics.
This document provides information about antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), including definitions of key terms, the importance and reasons for performing AST, methods for determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), classification of different classes of antibiotics, and manual techniques for AST including disk diffusion and ATB strips. Resistance mechanisms of common bacteria are also discussed.

This document provides an overview of different classes of antibiotics, including their mechanisms of action, uses, and side effects. It discusses beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillins and cephalosporins, as well as macrolides, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, glycopeptides and others. Each class is described in terms of its antimicrobial spectrum and applications for treating various bacterial infections. Potential adverse effects are also outlined for safety considerations.
Multidrug resistant UTIs are a growing problem that is often neglected. They are caused by bacteria like E. coli that reside in the colon and gain resistance by acquiring genes located on transferable plasmids. These genes encode for enzymes like extended spectrum beta-lactamases that make bacteria resistant to many antibiotic classes. Resistance rates are higher in patients with factors like hospitalization, catheterization, and prior antibiotic use. New approaches to address multidrug resistant UTIs include siderophore vaccines, novel antibiotics, and antimicrobial stewardship programs.

This document summarizes a study examining the characteristics of pathogens in pediatric patients using clean intermittent catheterization. The study recruited 50 patients using either conventional or LoFric brand catheters and collected urine samples to analyze bacterial species and antibiotic resistance. Preliminary results found Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Enterococcus faecalis to be the most common pathogens. E. coli often demonstrated resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Patients performing overnight catheterization were more likely to carry potential pathogens. The study aims to determine if LoFric catheters may reduce urinary tract infections in this population compared to conventional catheters.
Antimicrobial drug sensitivity testing and therapeutic use in veterinary prac...Bhoj Raj Singh
This document discusses antimicrobial drug sensitivity testing and therapeutic use in veterinary practice. It provides information on different antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods including disc diffusion tests, minimum inhibitory concentration tests, and automated methods. It describes how to interpret the results of these tests and highlights the importance of testing in selecting effective antimicrobial treatment and monitoring resistance patterns. The document also discusses guidelines for judicious antimicrobial use in veterinary practice.
The document discusses various antibacterial agents including their history, mechanisms of action, and clinical uses. It covers sulfonamides, penicillins, quinolones, nitrofurans, and methenamine. Sulfonamides work by preventing bacterial synthesis of folic acid while penicillins target bacterial cell wall synthesis. Quinolones inhibit bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase. Nitrofurans modify bacterial macromolecules. Methenamine releases formaldehyde in acidic urine to have antibacterial effects. These agents have revolutionized treatment of bacterial infections but overuse has led to increased antibiotic resistance.
This document defines various types of anti-infective agents and provides examples of each. It discusses antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, macrolides, quinolones, tetracyclines, and aminoglycosides. It also covers antiviral drugs, antifungal agents, antiparasitic drugs, and anti-tuberculosis agents. For each class, it provides the definition, examples of drugs, and their mechanisms and uses.
The discovery of penicillin in 1928 was followed by the discovery and commercial production of many other antibiotics.
We now take for granted that any infectious disease is curable by antibiotic therapy.
Antibiotics are manufactured at an estimated scale of about 100,000 tons annually worldwide, and their use had a profound impact on the life of bacteria on earth.
More strains of pathogens have become antibiotic resistant, and some have become resistant to many antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents, the phenomenon of multidrug resistance.
Multidrug-resistant organisms develop when antibiotics are taken longer than necessary or when they are not needed.
Multidrug resistance in bacteria occurs by the accumulation, on resistance (R) plasmids or transposons, of genes, this will lead to Mutational Alteration of the Target Protein
Development of resistance in many human pathogens has emerged into a large scale and resistance has evolved into multidrug resistance in the present regime.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

4. Objectives
• Implement an antibiogram at this nursing
home
• Set a goal of improving initial (empiric)
prescribing of antibiotics
• Follow the impact of the antibiogram on
nursing home prescribing
5. Background: Antibiotic Prescribing
• Antibiotics are frequently prescribed in
nursing homes.
– Broad-spectrum antibiotics are frequently
prescribed.
• Initial antibiotic decisions are empiric;
clinician’s judgment is based on:
– Patient factors (e.g., age, symptoms)
– Nursing home factors (type, historical experience,
formulary)
– Preference/knowledge
6. Background: Antibiograms
• An antibiogram is a tool to provide
clinicians with local microbiologic
sensitivity data to assist in their empiric
prescribing.
• Hospitals have used antibiograms to:
– Identify important local resistance patterns.
– Increase recommended antibiotic prescribing
for acute infections.
7.
8. Key Findings From Antibiogram
• Most data come from urine cultures:
– Of XX cultures used to make the antibiograms,
• XX % were urine cultures.
• XX % were wound cultures.
• XX % were sputum cultures.
– The antibiograms will be most applicable when selecting
antibiotics to treat urine infections and systemic infections that
may have come from the urine.
– The leading organisms for positive urine cultures were:
• E. coli: XX % of urine cultures
• Enterococcus species: XX %
• Klebsiella pneumoniae: XX %
• Proteus mirabilis: XX %
9. Key Findings From Antibiogram
Not all antibiotics are tested
• One antibiotic from each class is usually tested.
• Antibiotics from the same class are likely to have
similar resistance patterns; for example, with
cephalosporins:
– 1st generation: Cefazolin (Ancef) was tested; a
comparable oral agent is cephalexin (Keflex).
– 2nd generation: Cefoxitin (Mefoxin) was tested; a
comparable oral agent is cefuroxime (Ceftin).
– 3rd generation: Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) was tested; a
comparable oral agent is cefpodoxime (Simplicef, Vantin).
10. Key Findings From Antibiogram
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) from gram-negative organisms
• XX% of positive urine cultures were due to gram-negative
organisms.
• Significant resistance to commonly used antibiotics is seen
among the gram-negative organisms that frequently cause
UTIs (E. coli, Klebsiella):
– TMP/SMX (Bactrim) sensitivity for E. coli is limited (XX %).
– Quinolones’ sensitivity for E. coli is limited (levofloxacin [Levaquin] XX
%, ciprofloxacin [Cipro] XX %).
– First-generation cephalosporins’ sensitivity for E. coli is limited: cefazolin
(Ancef) XX %.
• Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) has good sensitivity for E. coli (XX
%) but poor activity against other urinary pathogens.
11. Key Findings From Antibiogram
Gram positives
• XX of XX (XX %) Staphylococcus aureus
cultures were methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
• MRSA was XX% sensitive to TMP/SMX
(Bactrim), but only XX% was sensitive to
clindamycin (Cleocin).

– Bactrim (Trimethoprim and Sulfamethoxazole)
– Doxycycline
– 3rd generation cephalosporin (e.g., cefpodoxime)
14. Limitations
• Source of infection
– “Hospital-acquired”: so nursing home
microbiology and antibiogram are less
applicable.
– “Facility-acquired”: acquired while at nursing
home; therefore, antibiogram is more
applicable.
• Sample size:
– Organisms with fewer than 30 isolates should
be interpreted with caution, as small numbers
may bias the group susceptibilities.
[Print out copies of the vignettes and antibiograms for all participants. Pass out the vignettes early, then provide the antibiogram when first discussing the antibiogram, but not before.]
Introductions: Trainer’s name; if small group, conduct introductions for all.
The purpose of today’s training is to discuss using an antibiogram to decide which antibiotics to use for residents in a nursing home.
First, I would like to get your thoughts on how to treat Ms. Lee. (Pass out vignettes out to attendees.) How would you treat Ms. Lee? On what basis?
Ms. Lee is a 71-year-old woman who ¡s a long-term resident of your facility, with dementia and no recent hospitalizations. She complains to a nurse of dysuria, urinary frequency and urinary urgency since 8 p.m. last night. You assess the patient and find that her vital signs are HR 88, RR 16, BP 136/84, T 100.2 F, SpO2 98%. A urine dip shows 2+ leukocytes and 2+ nitrites. The patient generally appears well and has some mild suprapubic tenderness.
In addition to ordering a urine culture, which of the following procedures would you follow?
Wait for the urine culture results.
Have the patient transferred to the emergency department for evaluation.
Prescribe an oral antibiotic.
Prescribe an IV antibiotic.
Which of the following do you think is/are the most appropriate antibiotic(s) for the above described symptoms?
Oral quinolone (e.g., ciprofloxacin)
Bactrim (Trimethoprim (TMP) and Sulfamethoxazole (SMX))
Cephalexin
Nitrofurantoin
Beta Lactam (e.g., amoxicillin)
Amoxicillin + clavulanate (Augmentin®)
An oral 3rd generation cephalosporin
Other
Now I would like to do the same thing for Mr. Jones. How would you treat Mr. Jones? What is your rationale for that?
Mr. Jones is a 76-year-old man who ¡s a long-term resident of your facility, with dementia and no recent hospitalizations. His other medical problems include hypertension and osteoarthritis. You are called by a nurse as Mr. Jones has been coughing for 3 days and today developed a fever. He has a hacking cough, is bringing up yellow/green sputum, and his vital signs are T 100.5 F, HR 88, RR 16, BP 136/84, SpO2 95%.
In addition to ordering a chest x-ray, which of the following procedures would you follow?
Wait for the chest x-ray results.
Have the patient transferred to the emergency department for evaluation.
Prescribe an oral antibiotic.
Prescribe an IV antibiotic.
Which of the following do you think is/are the most appropriate antibiotic(s) for the above described symptoms?
3rd or 4th generation quinolone (e.g., levofloxacin)
Macrolide (e.g., azithromycin)
Beta Lactam (e.g., amoxicillin)
Amoxicillin + clavulanate (Augmentin®)
Bactrim (Trimethoprim and Sulfamethoxazole)
Doxycycline
3rd generation cephalosporin (e.g., cefpodoxime)

We are conducting today’s training with the objectives of using an antibiogram to make initial decisions for antibiotics and to follow the effect of the antibiogram on nursing home prescribing.
Antibiotics are the most frequent medications prescribed, and in some cases they are overprescribed. Antibiotic use can lead to side effects, multidrug resistance, and health care-associated infections such as Clostridium difficile.
Decisions are made by factors such as symptoms, previous history, nursing home factors, and preference and knowledge of antibiotics. Typically, a clinician does not have cultures or test results to identify a specific medication to prescribe.
What is an antibiogram? Essentially, it is a one-page document that lists the sensitivity data related to various bacteria strains for a given nursing home.
[Pass out copies of the antibiogram.]
Here is a copy of this nursing home’s antibiogram. What does it mean?
[Edit slide to reflect antibiogram data.]
As you can see, of the cultures used to make the antibiograms, the most common were urine/wound/sputum. Antibiograms are most applicable when selecting antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) or systemic infections resulting from a urine infection. The most common positive urine cultures were….
You will also notice from the antibiogram that not all antibiotics are tested—usually just one from each class. The reason is that antibiotics from the same class are likely to have similar resistance patterns.

What are the limitations? One is that it depends where a resident acquired the infection. An antibiogram is most applicable if he or she acquired the infection while in the nursing home. Also, if fewer than 30 isolates exist, the data should be interpreted with caution as they may not be reliable.
Has anyone used an antibiogram to make decisions? How did that work for you?
