Fridkin, MD Senior Advisor, Antibiotic Resistance in Healthcare Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Atlanta, GA 4

5 Epidemiologic Insights into Vaccine Impact on Antibiotic Resistance Vaccines as a tool for reducing the burden of resistant bacterial infections and enhancing antimicrobial stewardship Describe the status of vaccine development for key resistant pathogens Consider optimal target populations for vaccination against different pathogens Spread of Antibiotic-Resistant Germs Antibiotic-resistant germs cause more than 2 million illnesses and at least 23,000 deaths each year Half of the antibioticresistant threats are predominately healthcareassociated infections 5

6 Urgent and Serious Threats Objectives Illustrate how vaccines are a tool for reducing the burden of resistant bacterial infections and enhancing antimicrobial stewardship Describe the status of vaccine development for key resistant pathogens Consider optimal target populations for vaccination against different pathogens 12 6

7 What to Strive For: Pneumococcal Vaccine Has Reduced AR Infections and Antibiotic Use In 2000 Conjugate 7 valent pneumococcal vaccine introduced in US for children 13 Kyaw et al, NEJM, 2006,354, Pneumococcal Vaccine Has Reduced AR Infections and Antibiotic Use PCV given to children successfully eliminates of 94 known pneumococcal serotypes including 90% of antibiotic resistant strains Added Benefit by reducing transmission of antibiotic resistant strains (from kids to adults!) 14 Kyaw et al. N Engl J Med. 2006; 354:

8 Pneumococcal Vaccine Has Reduced AR Infections and Antibiotic Use In CA, PCV reduced antibiotic prescriptions by 5.4% (CI 4.0 to 6.7%) in all follow-up starting at 1stst Dose. From Dose 1 to age 3.5 years, PCV prevented a total of 35 antibiotic prescriptions per 100 children vaccinated per protocol. In Israel, ABX days cut in half in first year Fireman et al, PIDJ 2003; 22: RR of antibiotic use was 0.83 (95% CI , P< 0.001) Dagan et al, 2001, PIDJ, 20, A Pathway to Less AR and Antibiotic Use Direct Effect Prevention of primary or recurrent disease Indirect Effects Preventing spread of colonizing and subsequent infecting organisms from vaccinated to unvaccinated Respiratory: S. pneumoniae GI microbiota: Clostridium difficile, CRE, other GNR Skin: MRSA Prevent spread from decreased interactions with healthcare system (avoid becoming colonized/infected with AR pathogen) 8

9 Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) Antibiotic exposure is the overwhelming most critical risk factor for CDI Preventing unnecessary antibiotic use will dramatically reduce CDI Efforts to develop a Clostridium difficile vaccine are underway Identification of patients at risk for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is critical to inform vaccine trials Epidemiology for Vaccine Development Distribution of Clostridium difficile Infections by Location at Time of Diagnosis, Emerging Infections Program, 2010 CDI Cases (N=10,342)* Post hospital Discharge 19% Hospital-onset 23% Community- Associated 32% 82% have had at least one outpatient healthcare exposure in the 12 weeks prior to symptoms onset; understanding these settings can inform vaccine trials Nursing-home onset 26% * EIP Sites: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee 45% of all CDI occurs in post-discharge setting or in nursing homes, making these populations important consideration for primary prevention through vaccine CDC, MMWR March 9, 2012 / 61;

10 Identifying Future Clostridium difficile Infection Following Hospital Discharge Identification of patients at risk for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is critical to inform vaccine trials Combining active surveillance across communities with hospital administrative data Identify groups at high risk of CDI post-discharge (during 28 days after hospital discharge) Used 28 days after discharge to take into account time needed for vaccine recipients to build an immune Validated a risk index applied at hospital discharge high risk patients at discharge were ~4-5 times greater than other patients Risk score based on few data available at discharge, demonstrated good predictability Risk Index for Combined Model with LOS Characteristic Points Characteristic Points Age LOS 1-3 Days 0 Age LOS 2-3 Days 1 Age LOS 4-9 Days 4 Age LOS 10+ Days 8 1 Past Visit 6 Fluoroquinolone ever 2 2 Past Visits 8 3 rd /4 th generation cephalosporin ever Lincosamide ever 1 3 Apply Model to Truven Health MarketScan Hospital Drug Database (HDD) Proprietary Database Contains billing records for all adult and pediatric patients from approximately 500 hospitals Years Longitudinal, relational database 10

11 Results Low Risk (score <14) High Risk (score 14) Total CDI 1,088 6,699 7,787 No-CDI 5,021,784 3,644,787 8,666,571 Total 5,022,872 3,651,486 8,674, Hospitals 42% of index visits high risk 86% of CDI cases occurred in high risk cohort OR=8.5, p < S. aureus 80,000 invasive MRSA infections each year in the US Roughly 15% are community associated without clear ties to healthcare stable rates over past 10 years Roughly 20% are hospital-onset decreasing 10% per year Most (60%) occur in post-discharge setting little change Defining risk by subpopulation can help target vaccine trial efforts 11

Classic opportunistic infection. MRSA causes life-threatening bloodstream infections, pneumonia and surgical site infections.
