1 Objectives 2012 Bugs and Drugs Update Lindsay Schray, PharmD NICU Clinical Specialist Nationwide Children s At the end of this presentation the audience member should be able to: List pathogenic bacteria seen with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) infections Review the antibiotic susceptibilities for common causative bacteria across various regions for NEC Describe current management, treatment and prophylactic regimens for NEC Plan of Attack Antimicrobial Resistance Overview of bacterial resistance Trends in bacterial resistance Antibiotic options: what s old is new again Focus on necrotizing enterocolitis Mechanisms of resistance Drug inactivation or modification β-lactamases Alteration of target site Changes to penicillin-binding proteins Alteration of metabolic pathways Reduced drug accumulation Decreased permeability Efflux pumps Peleg AY, Hooper DC. N Engl J Med. 2010;362: Antimicrobial Resistance Bacterial Resistance is on the Rise There is no SPACE to ESKAPE Serratia Pseudomonas Acinetobacter Citrobacter Enterobacter Enterococcus Staphylococcus (aureus) Klebsiella Acinetobacter Pseudomonas Enterobacter Boucher HW et al.

Troublesome Beta-lactamases Emerging resistance during antimicrobial therapy Double antimicrobial coverage Can produce a beta-lactamase Mutants produce large quantities of beta-lactamase Mutants occur at a frequency 1 in in 10 8 Most micro labs detect at Resistant mutants may not be detected Enterobacteriaceae (GI bugs) Klebsiellaspp., Enterobacter spp., E.coli Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) Hydrolyzes Penicillins Aztreonam Cephalosporins (1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, and ~4 th generations) Cefoxitin (Cephamycins), carbapenems, beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations usually remain active Clavulanic acid, tazobactam, or sulbactam Perez F.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2007;18(3):CD New thoughts on NEC risks/treatment/prophylaxis Probiotics Non-pathogenic bacteria: Bifidobacterium Abnormal colonization of preterm infant with antibiotic resistant bacteria Hand washing, sterile environment Prophylactic antibiotic use Delayed enteral feeding, no human milk No direct breast feeding or maternal exposure C-sections Colonization of unit with pathogenic bacteria Probiotic Benefits: Maintain intestinal integrity Up regulate immunity Increase production of anti-inflammatory cytokines modulate intestinal inflammation Prevent overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria Probiotic Risks: Currently not FDA regulated Unknown optimal strain and dosing regimen Risk of invasive disease Jenke A, et al. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2012;97(3):F Take home points Antimicrobial resistance in on the rise Methods to improve antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are necessary Lack of novel treatment options for multi-drug resistant organisms NEC continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the NICU population New treatment options/awareness of risk factors may show promise 2012 Bugs and Drugs Update Lindsay Schray, PharmD NICU Clinical Specialist Nationwide Children s Lindsay.Schray@NationwideChildrens.org 7
