1 Objectives Following the presentation, the participant will be able to: CP, HP, VP, & HCP John C. Rotschafer, Pharm. D. Professor College of Pharmacy University of Minnesota 1. Identify typical, atypical, & hospital respiratory pathogens. 2. Identify diagnostic criteria used to establish a diagnosis of pneumonia 3. Identify differences in pathogens causing HP vs CP and the required differences in antibiotic coverage. 4. Identify underlying mechanisms of antibiotic resistance for typical bacterial pathogens 5. Using IDS/TS guidelines for CP & HP/VP/HCP identify appropriate initial antibiotic therapy Pneumonia Community acquired pneumonia (CP) spiration pneumonia Hospital Hospital acquired pneumonia (HP) Ventilator associated pneumonia (VP) Healthcare associated pneumonia (HCP) Patient screening 27 TS/IDS CP Guidelines Mandell, L et al CID 44(suppl 2) 27 Determine whether to treat as outpatient or in-patient (ICU vs Ward) Objective scoring systems Pneumonia Severity Index CURB-65 Confusion Urea > 7 mmol/l Respiratory Rate > 3 / min Blood pressure < 9 mm Hg & diastolic > 6 mm Hg ge > 65 years ICU dmit (3 minor criteria present) Respiratory rate > 3 / min P a O 2 /FIO 2 < 25 Multilobar infiltrates Confusion Uremia Neutropenia Thrombocytopenia Hypothermia Pneumonia Diagnosis Fever, cough, SOB & pleuritic chest pain Chest x-ray infiltrate HP, VP, & HCP Sputum culture should be obtained prior to antibiotics Quantitative or semiquantitative culture required Sputum gram stain & culture <1 epithelial cells & > 25 PMN s per field ppropriate cultures of blood and CSF Bacterial Resistance in Pneumonia Penicillin Resistant S. pneumoniae Macrolide Resistant S. pneumoniae mpicillin Resistant H. influenzae Beta-lactamase producing M. catarrhalis MRS & C-MRS Multiple Drug Resistant Gram Negative Pathogens P. aeruginosa S. maltophilia cinetobacter spp K. pneumoniae or E. coli (ESBL positive) KPC (+) Klebsiella spp 1
