2 Surviving Sepsis 2016: We suggest empiric combination therapy (using at least two antibiotics of different antimicrobial classes) aimed at the most likely bacterial pathogen(s) for the initial management of septic shock (weak recommendation, low quality of evidence). (Remarks Readers should review Table 6 for definitions of empiric, targeted/definitive, broad-spectrum, combination, and multidrug therapy before reading this section.) CCM/ICM 2017 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) POSITION STATEMENT: Why IDSA Did Not Endorse the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines IDSA Sepsis Task Force, CID 2017 Monotherapy Is Adequate for Septic Shock Due to Gram-Negative Organisms Michael Klompas MD, MPH CCM

11 No Faster pathogen clearance matters? ie delay-dependent risk of irreversible and irreplaceable organ failure? Hit faster (increase speed of attainment of therapeutic levels) Yes Hit harder (augment cidality of therapeutic regimen) 1) Appropriateness 2) Speed of initiation 3) Loading dose 1) Synergistic combination ie mono vs combo therapy 2) Pharmacodynamic selection ie static vs cidal therapy 3) Pharmacokinetic optimization ie T>MIC, Cmax/MIC, AUC/MIC Accelerated pathogen clearance
