Editor's Notes
The potential for drug interactions must always be considered Most of the newer agents have low affinity for the hepatic cytochrome P450 system or are excreted renally There are reports that polyvalent cations can reduce the oral bioavailability of quinolones anywhere from 10-50%, especially when given concomitantly This is a problem especially in patients on multiple medications such as the elderly or ICU patients QT prolongation? Check patient profiles!
Antibacterial resistance in several important groups of microbial pathogens appears to be correlated with the use of fluoroquinolones. This is true for several clinically important gram-negative bacilli. Therefore, infection with a gram-negative bacillus in patients who have received fluoroquinolone treatment in the past is more likely to be with a resistant organism, including resistant P aeruginosa . 1 Further support for this pattern comes from a recent hospital program that restricted quinolone use, particularly levofloxacin. 2 After a lag of 5 months, the monthly percentage of levofloxacin-resistant P aeruginosa decreased significantly by 0.77% ( P <0.005), declining from 43.8% in January 2001 to 37.7% by March 2004. A drop in gentamicin-and cefepime-resistance was also associated with decreased quinolone use. 2 Prior quinolone use also increases the likelihood of infection with ESBL-producing strains. Case-control studies have identified ESBL-producing K pneumoniae and E coli in nursing home patients who were previously treated with quinolones. 3 In addition, nosocomial Acinetobacter infections in the ICU have been associated with prior quinolone use. 4 References: 1.

Data from a study by Neuhauser et al, illustrated in this slide, show that the increasing resistance rates for P aeruginosa and other key gram-negative bacilli from 1994 to 2000 correlated with fluoroquinolone use. The percentage of susceptible P aeruginosa strains declined dramatically, from 89% in 1990 through 19 93 to 68% in 2000. This decline in activity was associated with a significant increase in total fluoroquinolone use over that same time period. 1 Reference: 1.
