1 INFECTIOUS DISEASE UPDATE 2014: New Bugs, Few Drugs Tom Moore, MD, FACP, FIDSA Clinical Professor, Dept of Medicine University of Kansas-Wichita High proportions of resistance reported in all regions (both healthcare settings and community) AMR negatively affects patient outcomes/gdp Treatment options disappearing Strategies to combat resistance: Improved surveillance Increased vaccine use Basic hand hygiene Reduction of non-health uses of antimicrobials Better diagnostic tests What about US? Nearly 50% of global antibiotic use Good surveillance, but no national plan CDC top priorities ( urgent ) Clostridium difficile Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae MDR Neisseria gonorrhoeae 1

9 Clostridium difficile CDI C. difficile infections are at an all-time high C. difficile infections kill 14,000/yr in US Between , CDI deaths increased 400% Half of infections occur in <65 yrs but >90% of deaths occur in >65 yrs Half of CDI are present on admission Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) Current Issues CDI rates continue to increase Increasing incidence of severe CDI; higher mortality and higher rates of colectomy in elderly Recent reports of cases with no prior antibiotic exposure Epidemic strain (BI/NAP1/027) reported from hospitals in an expanding list of states Effectiveness of metronidazole has decreased New agents for CDI are in clinical trials but none have yet been approved Community-Associated CDI 10 pregnant women 23 generally healthy persons Many had no prior antimicrobial use 9

10 IDSA guidelines for CDI Treatment of CDI Clinical definition Supportive clinical data Recommended treatment Definition of CDI Presence of symptoms (usually diarrhea) >3 unformed stools over 24 hrs x 2 days Ileus (toxic megacolon) Positive stool test for the presence of toxigenic Clostridium difficile or its toxins or colonoscopy revealing pseudomembranes Prior antimicrobial use is NOT included in the definition Initial episode, mild or moderate Initial episode, severe Initial episode, complicated First recurrence WBC <15000 AND Creat <1.5X pre-morbid level WBC >15000 OR Creat >1.5X premorbid level Hypotension or shock, megacolon, perforation, severe colitis on CT scan Metronidazole 500 mg PO tid x days Vancomycin 125 mg PO qid x days or Fidaxomicin 200 mg PO bid x 10 days If no complete ileus: Vancomycin 500 mg PO/NGT qid and/or Metronidazole mg IV q8hrs If complete ileus: Metronidazole IV PLUS rectal instillation of Vancomycin Same as for initial episode Second recurrence Vancomycin, tapered/pulsed or Fidaxomicin 200 mg PO bid x 10 d IDSA guidelines for CDI Treatment of a 1st episode of CDI Discontinue inciting antibiotics as soon as possible to reduce the risk of CDI recurrence If severe CDI is suspected, start empiric treatment immediately If stool toxin assay result is negative, the decision to stop or continue CDI treatment must be individualized Avoid antiperistaltic agents Treatment options as noted in table IDSA guidelines for CDI Treatment of Recurrent CDI Patients with first recurrence can be treated with the same drug as initial therapy Exception: recurrence is severe - use vancomycin or fidaxomicin Do not use metronidazole beyond first recurrence and avoid using >14 days Second or more recurrence: Fidaxomicin, Vancomycin taper and/or pulse dosing Risk for recurrent C. difficile infection Ongoing or new exposure to antibiotic Age >65 yrs Underlying co-morbid chronic illness Reduced serum albumin <2.5 g/dl ICU stay Prolonged hospitalization Reduced serum IgG antibodies to Toxin A CDI Potential Strategies for Treatment Use an antimicrobial treatment that, in theory, spares the normal flora (Rifaximin, Fidaxomicin) Avoid antimicrobial treatment entirely by using toxin binders (Questran, Tolevamer) Use a biotherapeutic approach to restore the protective effect of the flora (probiotics, non-toxigenic C. difficile) Supplement or increase the antibody response to C. difficile toxins (vaccines, MAb, IVIG) Kyne L.
