“Although numerous studies correlate
microbiome composition and function
with disease states, […] few clearly
demonstrate a clear pathophysiologic
mechanism and causality.”

Antiseptics and the microbiome
• Chlorhexidine bathing reduced gram-
colonisation of patient’s skins and acquired
infections in ICU (rev Cassir et al EJClin Micro&ID
2015, Swan et al 2016, )
• Chlorhexidine mouthwash may contribute to
hypertension by killing nitrate-reducing oral
bacteria (Kapil et al Free RadBio&Med 2013)
• The skin microbiome is fairly resistant to most
topical skin cleansers (Two et al J InvestDerm
2016)

Your gut microbiome is more important than
maybe we first realised
Dr. Meghan Azad from the University of Manitoba, for
Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health
Talks
Recent or previous microbiology culture results and susceptibility patterns are
checked
Checking for recent or previous alert organisms i.e. multi-drug resistant
bacteria such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ,ESBL-
producing organisms ,Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobactericeae (CPE) and
Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococci (GRE)
once a significant infective organism is identified then therapy should be de-
escalated to mono-spectrum targeted agents which are equally if not more
effective but also they have much less collateral damaging effect i.e. are less
likely to disturb the microbial flora and lead to the emergence of multi-
antimicrobial resistant organisms in addition to super-infection such as the
occurrence of Clostridium difficile infections

Bryce et al BMJ 2016
Risk of resistant E.coli UTI and prior antibiotic use in children
Ruppe et al AAC 2012
Quantitative culture of stools (Total enterobacteriaceae and ESBLs in patients
presenting with UTI )
10-100% of total cultured Enterobacteriaceae being ESBL from stool associated with
increased risk of ESBL UTI .
<0.1% - predicts no ESBL UTI
Is low level carriage of ESBLs Clinically Relevant?
Gut carriage and transmission of
resistant Enterobacteriaceae
Community Reservoir:
• Prevalence of ESBL E.coli in Nursing Home in N.
Ireland 40.5%
– 51% of carriers had no history of hospital
admission
Abroad:
• Travellers in Sweden-carriage of ESBLs:
– Prior to travel 4%
– After travel 32% (Travel to India – 82%)
– Found in travellers without GI symptoms
• Antibiotic use by travellers increases risk
of subsequent ESBL carriage
• Antibiotic use consistently a risk factor for
ESBL carriage in patients (other risk
factors: exposure to hospital environment,
travel to endemic area)
• Gut carriage of ESBLS is a risk factor for
ESBL infection

Messages for the generalists and the
public
• People who take antibiotics are more
likely to get resistant infections in the
future
• If you take antibiotics, they are less
likely to work for you in the future
• Antibiotics disrupt the balance of
healthy bacteria in your body, which can
make you more susceptible to infections
in the future
• If in doubt, don’t disrupt!

Protective effect shown due to anaerobes (Barnesiella ) Note size of effect: 10^9 CFU of VRE per gram - at this density decolonisation and infection co Difficult . FMT decreases concentrations more than a BILLION fold Antianaerobic antibiotics result in high level VRE colonisation More than 10^4 /g VRE – 10/12 VRE environmental screens positive Less than 10^4 – 1/9 sets positivie Donskey e t al NEJM 2000 the hypothesis that antibiotics promote the overgrowth of vancomycin-resistant enterococci regimens with potent antianaerobic activity but minimal activity against other components of colonization.
