1 Provincial Drugs & Therapeutics Committee 16 Garfield Street 16, rue Garfield PO Box 2000, Charlottetown C.P. 2000, Charlottetown Prince Edward Island Île-du-Prince-Édouard Canada C1A 7N8 Canada C1A 7N8 From: Provincial Drugs and Therapeutics Committee To: All Island Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Pharmacists Date: May 24, 2013 RE: Provincial Urinary Tract Infection Empiric Treatment Guidelines and Health PEI Antibiogram Consideration of local susceptibly patterns is crucial to empirically treating infections and reducing the spread of antibiotic resistance. Our Island wide Health PEI Antibiogram 2013, based on 2012 data, is attached and available at This data is from all community and hospital specimens received, removing duplicated specimens for better quality. Dr. Greg German, Medical Microbiologist, gave grand round presentations at QEH and PCH in the Fall introducing the antibiogram as it pertains to UTIs and how it may affect your practice. The Provincial Antibiotic Advisory Team (PAAT), of which Dr. German is co-chair, has developed the enclosed UTI Empiric Treatment Guidelines which were adapted and approved by a well-represented committee of Physician Reviewers. The guidelines are based on local susceptibilities and are in keeping with national and international guidelines. Individual medication recommendations do not necessarily take into account coverage by PEI Pharmacare or private drug plans. The guidelines were developed with the desire to appropriately and safely treat urinary tract infections while reducing collateral damage and attempting to save fluoroquinolones for more serious infections. The layout of the guidelines includes preventative and diagnostics tips, followed by a list of empiric treatment options spanning the continuum of patients illness from generally well to septic shock. This standardization should allow for a rapid, consistent, and collaborative approach for almost all patients on the Island. It is important to note that these guidelines were not designed for special populations such as paediatrics, pregnancy or patients with severe renal impairment. The guidelines are further categorized by the following: in patients who are non-sirs or pre-sirs, empiric antibiotic treatment differs for female cystitis (< 6 days of symptoms) versus male cystitis/early male or female pyelonephritis. For patients anywhere across the spectrum from generally well to refractory septic shock, the suggested treatment options differ for those with or without an indwelling Foley catheter or urinary stent.
2 Provincial Drugs & Therapeutics Committee The new guidelines will potentially change routine practices. For example: 1) Nitrofurantoin is suggested as the first option for female cystitis (if no contraindication for use). Fluoroquinolones are not listed as one of the top four agents for the treatment of female cystitis. It is encouraged that fluoroquinolones be reserved for more serious infections. 2) Due to the level of ciprofloxacin resistance (E. coli resistance to ciprofloxacin is 15%), an initial onetime IV dose of a long-acting parenteral antimicrobial (such as ceftriaxone or a consolidated 24h dose of an aminoglycoside) as a second agent is recommended when possible, when treating early pyelonephritis. 3) Ampicillin and tobramycin are recommended as first line therapy in patients with SIRS or sepsis without an indwelling Foley catheter or urinary stent. It is recommended to step-down from ampicillin and tobramycin as early as possible to avoid aminoglycoside toxicities. 4) For SIRS or sepsis patients with an indwelling Foley catheter or urinary stent, the use of a stat urine Gram stain to check for yeast, MRSA or Enterococcus is recommended. 5) The cross reactivity of truly penicillin-allergic patients with meropenem is less than 1%. Meropenem is a reasonable choice to give to serious penicillin-allergic patients in severe disease. The Urinary Tract Infection Empiric Treatment Guidelines is the first of a series of guidelines the Provincial Antibiotic Advisory Team is working on developing. Guidelines for Clostridium difficile and skin and soft tissue infections are to come out in the next few months. For any questions about the Health PEI Antibiogram 2013, please contact Greg German (8-2515; GJGerman@ihis.org). For questions on the Provincial UTI Empiric Treatment Guidelines, you can contact the PAAT co-chairs Greg German or Jennifer Boswell (antimicrobial pharmacist; 8-27; jlboswell@ihis.org). 2

As above and add Vanco (or Linezolid if VRE is a concern) Add Fluconazole or Amphotericin-B RE: Penicillin allergy: Avoid pip/tazo, but meropenem is reasonable to give in severe sepsis or greater even with history of anaphylaxis. Consult Inf. Dis. if in doubt. *Nitrofurantoin should not be used with abnormal kidney function (CrCl < 60 ml/min) and is discouraged for long term prophylaxis in the elderly(potential for pulmonary toxicity, inadequate concentrations in the urine in pt with CrCl< 60 ml/min). If financially feasible, Macrobid twice daily versus nitrofurantoin four times daily formulations is strongly preferred for patient adherence. Logic for guidelines: 1. The oral antibiotic that urinary isolates of E. coli in PEI have the highest susceptibility to is nitrofurantoin. As per the Health PEI Antibiogram 2013, the local susceptibilities of urine isolates of E. coli to select antibiotics are as follows: nitrofurantoin %, TMP/SMX 83%, cefixime %, amox/clav 88%, ciprofloxacin 85%. Cephalexin data (59%) is difficult to interpret due to changes in internationally set breakpoints for susceptibility. Yet cephalexin does concentrate in the urine, which would increase its effectiveness beyond 59%. 2. Avoid collateral damage: nitrofurantoin does not have a serious effect on other bacteria outside the urinary tract, TMP/SMX has lower C. difficle risk than levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, or amox/clav. 3. Nitrofurantoin should NOT be used for pyelonephritis or secondary bacteremia due to inadequate tissue and serum concentrations. 4. A recent article reviewed the literature on nitrofurantoin use in renal dysfunction. The authors of this article suggest that nitrofurantoin is effective and safe to use for shortterm treatment ( 1 week) in patients with a CrCl > 40 ml/min. (Oplinger M and Andrews CO 2013 Nitrofurantoin Contraindication in Patients with a Creatinine Clearance Below 60 ml/min: Looking for the Evidence. The Annals of Pharmacotherapy 47: 106.)
4 Health PEI: Provincial Antibiotic Advisory Team Urinary Tract Infection Empiric Treatment Guidelines Logic for guidelines (continued): 5. Resistance to levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin is greater than 10% which necessitates conservation (limit use in non-serious infections or prophylaxis) and supplementation (addition of a second agent is recommended for the treatment of serious infections). IDSA guidelines recommend, for treatment of pyelonephritis, when there is >10% fluoroquinolone resistance, an initial one-time IV/IM dose of a long-acting antimicrobial (such as ceftriaxone or an aminoglycoside) be given. Furthermore, fluoroquinolone toxicity is an increasing concern such as retinal detachment, ligament tears in the elderly or on steroids, and QT-interval prolongation (especially in patients with other risk factors). Moxifloxacin should never be used to treat a UTI because it does not concentrate in the urine. The PAAT discussed adding levofloxacin high dose (750 mg po daily) x5 days in addition to having an option for ciprofloxacin 500 mg po bid x 7days for the treatment of early pyelonephritis. Due to the Special Authorization criteria for levofloxacin on the PEI Pharmacare Formulary and lack of clarity on using levofloxacin high dose x 5 days for this indication, we have decided not to include levofloxacin high dose as an option at this time. 6. Enterococcus has relatively low virulence. Enterococcal UTIs are most often nosocomial and/or associated with obstruction, urinary catheterization or instrumentation. In patients with long-term catheterization, urine cultures obtained before and after the catheter was replaced showed that the mean concentration of Enterococci were >10- fold higher in the indwelling catheter than they were in the replacement catheter. 7. Gentamicin vs tobramycin: gentamicin is considered more nephrotoxic than tobramycin and tobramycin has a greater spectrum of activity for empiric treatment of UTIs. References: 1. Epp A.
