1 Nightmare Bacteria How to Deal with the Reality of Carbapenem-resistant Organisms Disclosures I have no conflicts of interest relative to the content of this presentation Matthew L. Brown, Pharm.D., BCPS Antimicrobial Stewardship Pharmacist, UAB Hospital Alabama Society of Health system Pharmacy Annual Clinical Meeting, Birmingham, Alabama September 29, 2017 Pharmacist Objectives Technician Objectives Describe mechanisms of carbapenem resistance Design treatment regimens for carbapenemresistant organisms Identify emerging antibiotics with activity against carbapenem resistant organisms Describe the impact of carbapenem resistance on public health Identify antibiotics used to treat carbapenemresistant organisms Recognize antibiotic doses used to treat carbapenem resistant organisms Carbapenem Resistance in 2005 Carbapenem Resistance in 2017 Braykov NB, et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2013;34(3) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2017

2 Carbapenem resistant Organisms Carbapenem Resistance Mechanisms Growing threat to public health Enterobacteriaceae Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acinetobacter baumannii Limited therapeutic options High mortality rate Tacconelli E, et al. WHO 2017 Kaye KS, et al. Pharmacotherapy 2015;35(10): Carbapenemase producers KPC OXA NDM IMP VIM Carbapenem resistant Organisms Non carbapenemase producers Contain combinations of: ESBL AmpC Porin mutations Efflux pumps Altered binding sites Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute 2017 Gniadek TJ, et al. J Clin Microbiol 2016;54: Antibiotic Armamentarium Treatment Considerations Core agents Adjunctive Agents Carbapenem + polymyxin Ceftazidime avibactam Meropenem vaborbactam Aminoglycoside Tigecycline Fosfomycin Rifampin Ertapenem Combination vs. monotherapy Site of infection Dose optimization Duration of therapy Adverse effects Role of novel agents Perez F, et al. Exp Opin Pharmacother 2016;17(6): Thaden JT, et al. Virulence 2017;8(4): The Medicines Company 2017 Combination vs. Monotherapy Combination vs. Monotherapy Mortality 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% p = Combination vs. Monotherapy Carbapenem combo vs. Non carbapenem combo Carbapenem MIC 8 vs. Carbapenem MIC >8 Daikos GL, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2014;58(4): Combination Therapy Monotherapy Recommended if using traditional agents* Use carbapenem containing combination if carbapenem MIC 8 May be reasonable for urinary tract infections in non critically ill patients *Benefit of combination therapy with novel agents is unclear Perez F, et al. Exp Opin Pharmacother 2016;17(6): King M, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017;61(7):e

3 Site of Infection Dose optimization Select Sites Considerations Bloodstream Typically avoid tigecycline Pulmonary Consider adjunctive use of inhaled agents (e.g., colistin, aminoglycosides) Intra abdominal Tigecycline may be a useful adjunct Urinary Aminoglycoside or fosfomycin may be useful Can use colistin, but avoid polymyxin B Avoid tigecycline Central nervous system Consider adjunctive use of intraventricular agents (e.g., colistin, polymyxin B, aminoglycosides) Drug Class Carbapenems Polymyxins Aminoglycosides Tigecycline Dose Optimization Strategies High dose, prolonged infusions Meropenem 2 g every 8 hours, 3 4 hour infusion Loading dose recommended Polymyxin B does not need renal dosage adjustment Once daily dosing Gentamicin or tobramycin 7 10 mg/kg Amikacin mg/kg High dose 200 mg loading dose, then 100 mg every 12 hours Nation RL, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2014;59(1) Pogue JM, et al. Clin Microbiol Infect 2017;23: Duration of Therapy Adverse Effects Optimal duration has not been determined Prolonged therapy should be avoided to minimize further development of resistance Drug Class Carbapenems Select Adverse Effects Seizures (more likely with high doses or dual carbapenem therapy) Utilize evidence based durations according to the site of infection Consider the clinical response of the patient Guidance by an infectious diseases physician is preferred Giamarellou H. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2010;1 25 Zavascki AP, et al. Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther 2013;11(12): Spellberg B. JAMA Intern Med 2016;176(9): Polymyxins Aminoglycosides Tigecycline Nephrotoxicity: colistin (~55%); polymyxin B (~30%) Neurotoxicity Nephrotoxicity (less likely with once daily dosing; shortest possible course) Gastrointestinal effects may be more severe and doselimiting when using high dose therapy Novel Agents Ceftazidime avibactam and meropenem vaborbactam Active against many (but not all) carbapenemases Combine ceftazidime avibactam with aztreonam for metallo β lactamases More effective and less toxic than traditional options Limited clinical experience Resistance already detected Thaden JT, et al. Virulence 2017;8(4): Davido B, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017;e Castanheira M, et al.

4 Other Carbapenem resistant Organisms Emerging Therapies Organism Specific Considerations Pseudomonas aeruginosa Non carbapenem β lactams may have activity Ceftolozane tazobactam has excellent activity Benefit of combination therapy is less clear Acinetobacter baumannii Use ampicillin sulbactam if active ( 6 g sulbactam/day) High dose minocycline (200 mg BID) may be useful Carbapenem containing combination therapy preferred Maraolo AE, et al.
