بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Antibiotic therapy in critically ill patients By Mohamed Saad Elsyaad lecturer of critical care .MD PhD Faculty of medicine ,Alexandria university

Is it important ?

In 1928 Scottish bacteriologist  Alexander Fleming   noticed that colonies of bacteria growing on a  culture  plate had been unfavorably affected by a  mold ,  Penicillium notatum , which had contaminated the culture. A decade later British biochemist  Ernst Chain , Australian pathologist  Howard Florey , and others isolated the ingredient responsible, penicillin, and showed that it was highly effective against many serious bacterial infections

Antibiotics came into worldwide prominence with the introduction of  penicillin  in 1941.

The most important discovery in medicine

A battle between 2 armies

Winners

Losers

Pseudomonas MDR 25 to 60% mortality Klebsiella MDR upto 50% Acinetobacter MDR upto 35% MRSA upto 50%

Economic burden Estimated to be millions of dollars

Classification according to spectrum Antibiotics can be categorized by their spectrum of activity N arrow : Narrow-spectrum agents (e.g., penicillin G) affect primarily  gram-positive bacteria .  Broad : Broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as tetracyclines and  chloramphenicol , affect both gram-positive and some  gram-negative bacteria E xtended: An extended-spectrum antibiotic is one that, as a result of chemical modification, affects additional types of bacteria, usually those that are gram-negative.

Gram stain Significance ??

  G ram-positive  :  are bacteria that have cell walls consisting of a thick meshwork of peptidoglycan [a peptide-sugar polymer] G ram-negative : bacteria that have cell walls with only a thin peptidoglycan layer.

Gram positive cocci Staphylococci catalase positive includes aureus, and epidermidis, MRSA and MSSA, Streptococci catalase negative  Streptococcus pneumonia. (syndrome ??) Enterococci catalase negative Enterococcus faecalis .

Staphylococci further subdivided into coagulase positive (S aureus ) leading to pneumonia – endocarditis –osteomyelitis –TEN syndrome and TSS . coagulase negative epidermidis usually associated with Catheter associated infection .

Austrian syndrome Rare but deadly triad Disseminated infection Consist of : meningitis endocarditis pneumonia

Catalase enzyme : common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to o2 . Catalyze the H202 to h20 to oxygen . It is very important enzyme protect bacteria cell from oxidative damage by reactive species

Gram negative cocci Neisseria gonorrhea Neisseria meningitides (syndrome ?? )

Waterhouse Fredriksson Life threating infection by Neisseria meningitides Affection of adrenal gland due bleeding and necrosis Symptoms CNS infection sign Rash throughout the body DIC Septic shock

Gram positive bacilli

Gram positive bacilli Spore forming :clostridium (CL difficle –perfringens – tetani) Non Spore forming ( listeria –diphtheroid )

Gram negative bacilli E Coli Proteus Pseudomonas aeruginosa klebsiella Salmonella Hemophilus influenzae

Atypical They did not get covered with gram stain so they are not gram positive or negative Legionella Chlamydia Rickettsia

Water supply and air conditioning system Mortality may be up to 80% Very young age less than 1y and old age very prone Symptoms: Lethargy and confusion Fibro purulent pneumonia mostly unilateral Diarrhea Fever most common symptom

Complications DIC Hyponatremia (unclear but may be due to SIADH) with increased level of ADH PCR test blood or legionella urinary antigen

Coccobacilli (Acinetobacter baumannii)

Coccobacilli Hemophilus influenzae Gardnerella vaginalis Chlamydia Bordetella pertussis

Anaerobes Gram (+): clostridium difficile and perfringes causing gas gangrene .lactobacillus and actinomyces Gram( -): Bacteroides from colon and female genitalia, campylobacter -prevotella

Narrow : Target gram positive ex penicillin Broad : Target gram negative ex chloramphenicol and tetracycline Extended : d ue to chemical modification affect many types of bacteria abut still mainly gram negative

Classification according to resistance Mult idrug resistant Exten sively drug resistant Pan drug resistant

to prevent infection to which patient is high risk outpatient setting : endocarditis prophylaxis inpatient setting : postoperative surgical prophylaxis

Inappropriate antibiotic use Absence of a bacterial infection/indication for prophylaxis. Violation of ≥ 1 of 5 D's of optimal antibiotic therapy. Right D rug. Right D ose. Best route of D elivery. Attention to De- escalation. Appropriate D uration of administration.

significance is associated with : poor patient outcomes. Adverse drug reactions. organ toxicity. superinfection, e.g. Clostridium difficile. Selection of antibiotic resistance in ICU patients leads to: Prolong hospital stays Excess costs (drug acquisition, complications, MDRP…) Increased mortality.

Empirical therapy in sepsis

sepsis campaign guidelines2021 Early start of antibiotics is recommended and also sepsis campaign guidelines recommend against waiting procalcitonin for start in antibiotics Do not routinely use 2 antimicrobial for patient low risk for MDR Don't give double gram negative antimicrobial Prolonged infusion of B lactam is recommended We recommend for use of procalcitonin and clinical date for daily assessment for de-escalation We recommend for short term over long term antibiotics course

Duration of therapy Clinical assessment Scoring system: CPIS Biomarkers: procalcitonin and CRP. Site of infection (guidelines). -CAP ≥ 5-7 days -HAP ≥ 8 -10 days Ie : antibiotic therapy between 5-7days is recommended over more than 7 days and this is supported by systematic reviews which showed no difference -S aureus bacteremia 14 days and if complicated may be 21 day

Systematic reviews revealed that antibiotic course between 5 -7 days is recommended over more than 7 day

Procalcitonin vs CRP vs WBC

Regarding CRP still considered by IDSA an initial marker of treatment and weaning despite being non specific Sensitivity increased with other factors (WBC - x, ray –lab -clinical symptoms )

WBC alone is not enough for starting and de-escalating antibiotics Non specific acute phase reactant (DKA –trauma –MI) Used with other markers

Procalcitonin Also false negative (any inflammation – burn – trauma-MI) Higher sensitivity and specificity for treatment and de escalation of therapy 1\2 life 25-30 h rapid response Some recommend initial then day 5-7-on discharge

Weaning considered if less than 0,25 ng to 0,5. Or decreased by more than 80% from its peak .

CDC CDC recommend against routine sampling for cultures. CDC criteria for mini AL Blood Urine CDC :centers of disease control and prevention

MECHANISMS OF RESISTANCE 1-Decreased penetration to the target site : (no longer rely on glycoprotein cell wall) Outer membrane of Gram- ve bacilli provides an efficient barrier to the penetration of β -lactam antibiotics to their target PBPs Major factor in the resistance of P. aeruginosa to many β -lactam 2-Inactivation by a bacterial enzyme : (enzymatic deactivation of antibiotics ) Major mechanism of resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics May cleave predominantly penicillins (penicillinases) cephalosporins (cephalosporinases) or both (beta-lactamases).

2-Alteration of the target site :  Alterations in PBPs may influence their binding affinity for β -lactam antibiotics and therefore to inhibition responsible for penicillin resistance in pneumococci &streptococci, methicillin ( oxacillin ) resistance in Staphylococci Gonococci enterococci,

Genetic mutation : very common in MRSA

B- lactamases bacterial enzymes able to hydrolyse a wide variety of penicillins and cephalosporins Carba penemases include : penicillinase Cephalosporinase ESBLs still carbapenem sensetive

Extended-spectrum  -lactamases (ESBLs) Plasmid-mediated. Most ESBLs have evolved by genetic mutation from native  -lactamases, Can be difficult to detect Failure during cephalosporin therapy even if test sensitive in the lab Reported as resistant regardless of in vitro testing Use of third generation cephalosporins induces over-expression of the enzymes Transmissible amongst different species of gram negative bacteria

Classification of bacteria according to resistance Multi drug resistant :acquired non susceptibility to at least one agent in 3 or more antimicrobial groups Examples : klebsiella pneum- carbamenase producing gram negative organisms

Extensively drug resistant : Non susceptibility to at least one agent in all antimicrobial groups except one or 2 categories. Pan drug resistant : non susceptibility to all agents in all antimicrobial groups

Home message Don't forget sepsis prevention is very cheap and sepsis treatment is very expensive upto patient life

Antibiotic groups Beta lactam group including : Thy have common beta lactam ring in their structure 1-Penicillins 2-Cephalosporins 3-Carbapenems

Penicillin 1 st generation :P-G given iv known as aqueous penicillin and procaine –P given IM 2 nd : Methicillin sensitive but also developed resistance via new PBP gene mutation lead to MRSA 3 rd : Ampicillin in listeria infection 2g every 4h 4 th :Piperacillin used with tazobactam and it may cause interstitial nephritis

NB All penicillin's can cause seizures

Cephalosporin 1 st generation :cefazolin 2 nd generation :cefuroxime 3 rd generation : cefoperazone , ceftriaxone , cefotaxime and ceftazidim 4 th generation : Cefepime

Ceftriaxone

Ceftriaxone Broad spectrum gram negative more than gram positive Highly stable against beta lactamases (penicillinase and cephalosporinase ) Bactericidal Should not be reconstituted with Ca containing solution like ringers as it cause precipitation May lead to IH cholestasis, No renal modification . Most famous indications : Meningitis -CAP

Ceftazidime

Ceftazidime G – more than + Anti pseudomonal(pseudomonas aeruginosa ) penetrate CSF (Anti meningitic ) Renal (It has RMD ) (dialyzable )

Ceftazidime –avibactam

Ceftazidime –avibactam Zavicefta Vial 2,5 g (2 g ceftazidime and 0.5 g avibactam ) Indications : 1- intra abdominal sepsis with flagyl 2-UTI 3-Pneumonia Renal modification acc to cr clearance

Pharmacology Ceftazidime – 4 th g cephalosporins Avibactam : B -Lactamase inhibitor. Alone has no antibacterial effect With ceftazidime protect it from degradation by b lactamase enzyme and so extend its spectrum to include G – ve bacteria normally not susceptible to ceftazidime

Cefoperazone - sulbactam

Cefoperazone 3 rd generation cephalosporin Gram – ve and + ve Including extended spectrum B lactamase producing bacteria and carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter bumannii Bacterial cell wall inhibitor

Anti pseudomonal effect Combined with sulbactam as a beta lactamase inhibitor Usual dose 1to 2g every 12h up to 6 to 12g gram per day . RMD :1,5 g iv every 12h in higher doses

Cefoperazone -induced coagulopathy The chemical structure of cefoperazone contains a side chain of N- methylthiotetrazole which can inhibit vitamin K metabolism resulting in hypoprothombinemia . Cefoperaone is the offending agent not sulbactam . Vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors include II, VII, IX, and X. Vitamin K deficiency or utilization 2 mechanisms : Inhibit intestinal synthesis of vit k Inhibit carboxylation of vit k dependent factors

If we did factor V assay it will be normal which indicates normal liver synthetic function Possible treatment Stop drug and change it FFP-Prothrombin complex –packed rbcs Vit K use

Cefepime

Cefepime Gram – ve and + ve but greater than ceftazidime toward G – ve and greater than ceftriaxone toward G + ve RMD SEIZURES greater than Fortum Anti meningitis (although poor penetration except in inflamed meninges )

Adverse effects Positive comb's test without hemolysis Encephalopathy and seizures Steven Johnson syndrome

Antimicrobial stewardship

Antimicrobial stewardship Definition : coordinated program that ensures the optimal selection ,dose ,duration of an antibiotic therapy that lead to the best clinical outcome for prevention and treatment of an infection while producing fewest side effects and lowest possible risk of bacterial resistance

It includes D ata collection D ocumentation T racking resistance A ction to over come F ollow up action plan

Team Infection disease physician Pharmacist Microbiology personnel Information technology

?? Antibiotics in covid 19

Its viral infection so not treated with antibiotics . But in some cases antibiotics therapy may be needed. Non optimal use of antibiotics may lead extensive. antimicrobial resistance . Do not rely on single indicator like CRP .

Indications A-In co infection with bacterial or fungal infection B-Septic shock Lab markers 1-Procalcitonin 2-Serum galactomannan 3-Bd glucan 4- Cultures especially in severe covid we should withdraw blood cs before antibiotics

Who guidelines Suspected or confirmed mild covid 19 cases we suggest against use of prophylactic antibiotics therapy

Suspected or confirmed moderate covid 19 cases we suggest against use of prophylactic antibiotics therapy

Suspected or confirmed severe covid 19 cases we suggest use of antibiotics therapy base on clinical judgement ,patients host factors and local epidemiology .
