Pt= Patient CAP= Community Acquired pneumonia HAP= Hospital Acquired pneumonia VAP=Ventilator Acquired pneumonia
Principles of antibiotic use
7
• Initiate appropriate Abx therapy ASAP
Every 1 Hr delay = 8% increase in mortality
• Be aware of the site of infection
Local control
Treating most likely organism
ABX= antibiotics ASAP= as soon as possible
Principles of antibiotic use
8
• Possibility of resistance
Abx exposure
Known resistant colonization
Exposure to heath care facilities
Local Abx resistance pattern
• Host factor:
Allergy
Organ function status
ABX= antibiotics
Principles of antibiotic use
9
• Severity of illness
Using IV vs PO
Choosing upper end of the dosing range
Consider loading dose
Consider combination therapy
ABX= antibiotics IV= Intravenous
PO= Oral route
Principles of antibiotic use
10
• Treat infection… not colonization
• Cultures before Abx
Without delay
• Administer the 1st dose ASAP
• Monitor response to your Abx therapy
After 48-72 Hrs
Take routine Abx time out
ABX= antibiotics ASAP= as soon as possible
Principles of antibiotic use
11
• What is time out??
– Time out is the check point at which the
physician should answer these questions:
Does this patient have an infection that will respond
to antibiotics?
Is the patient on the right antibiotic(s), dose, and
route of administration?
Principles of antibiotic use
12
• What is time out??
– Time out is the check point at which the
physician should answer these questions:
Can a more targeted antibiotic be used to treat the
infection?
How long should the patient receive the
antibiotic(s)?
Principles of antibiotic use
13
• Re-evaluation of therapy depends on:
– Clinical response
– Microbiologic data
Organism ID
Local anti-biogram
Isolate susceptibility

Principles of antibiotic use
16
Refining / de-
escalating
regimen
• Resolve bug drug mismatch
• Plan the likely duration
• De-escalation:
• Narrowing spectrum
• Eliminate redundancies
• Consider PO route
Time dependent activity
17
• Antibiotic needs more time to achieve 99.9% kill
target
• Serum conc. Is not important
• Observed in:
– β-lactams
– Macrolides
– Clindamycin
– Glycopeptides
• How to optimize time dependent effect?
18
Time dependent activity
Concentration dependent activity
19
• Antibiotic needs higher concentration to
achieve 99.9% kill target
• Time of exposure Is not important
• Observed in:
– Aminoglycosides
– Fluoroquinolones
– Daptomycin
– Metronidazole
• How to optimize conc. dependent effect?
Concentration dependent activity
20
This is Genta !
:D
Concentration dependent activity
21
Which kill
better?
Mixed pattern activity
22
• Fluoroquinolones differs in it’s pattern
• It uses AUC24:MIC ratio
– For gm -ve ---< 125 for Cipro/Levo
– For gm +ve ---< 30 for Levo
23
Mixed pattern activity
Also:
Daptomycin
Tigecycline
vancomycin
Indications for antibiotic prophylaxis
24
• Before dental procedures against IE
• Before surgical procedures
• Before GI endoscopy
• For SBP
• For recurrent UTI
IE= infective endocarditis GI= Gastro-intestinal SBP=
Spontaneous Bacterial Pretonitis UTI= Urinary tract infection
Vancomycin
25
• Glycopeptide antibiotic
• Mostly effective against Gm+ve Bacteria
• Always reserved for complicated or multidrug
resistant infections
• Characterized with mixed time/concentration killing
pattern
Vancomycin
26
Vancomycin
27
• Against MRSA in HAP/VAP
• For bacterial IE
• GI chemosterlization (PO)
• Prosthetic joint infection
• CDAD
HAP= Hospital Acquired Pneumonia VAP= Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia IE=Infective
Endocarditis GI=Gastrointestinal
CDAD=C.difficile-Associated Diarrhea
Vancomycin
28
• Manufacturer’s labeling:
Usual dose: 500 mg every 6 hours or 1,000 mg
every 12 hours
• Alternate recommendations*:
15 to 20 mg/kg/dose every 8 to 12 hours
*(ASHP/IDSA/SIDP [Rybak, 2009]);
Vancomycin
29
• *Complicated infections in seriously ill
patients:
A loading dose of 25 to 30 mg/kg (based on
actual body weight)
*(ASHP/IDSA/SIDP [Rybak, 2009]);
Vancomycin
30
• Injection:
– More than10%:
Cardiovascular: Hypotension accompanied by flushing
Dermatologic: Erythematous rash on face and upper
body (red neck or red man syndrome - infusion rate
related)
Vancomycin
31
• Injection:
– From 1% to 10%:
Central nervous system: Chills, drug fever
Dermatologic: Rash
Hematologic: Eosinophilia, reversible neutropenia
Local: Phlebitis
Vancomycin
32
• Oral:
– More than10%:
Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain, bad taste (with
oral solution), nausea
