Every hour’s delay until appropriate therapy resulted in a 12% increase in mortality. Compared with starting appropriate therapy within 1 hour of the onset of hypotension,

the OR for mortality increased from 1.67 in Hour 2 to 92.54 with delays >36 hours.

An earlier study of septic shock (n = 2731) explicitly demonstrated the importance of antimicrobial timing.

The Future Unless…The Future Unless… Resistance will continue, guaranteed—

death, taxes, resistance.

Antibiotic Stewardship“…. the microbes are educated to resist penicillin and a host of penicillin-fast organisms is bred out… In such cases the thoughtless person playing with penicillin is morally responsible for the death of the man who finally succumbs to infection with the penicillin-resistant organism. I hope this evil can be averted.”

– Sir Alexander Fleming, The New York Times, June 1945

How Are We Doing 70 Years Later?How Are We Doing 70 Years Later?

From 2006–2012, overall days of therapy in hospital did not go down—broad-spectrum antibiotic use went up.

In a second study, modest initial outpatient declines plateaued, and broad-spectrum antibiotic use went up.

New Guidelines on StewardshipNew Guidelines on Stewardship

Entirely focused on the tactical What to do at the ground level Tools for stewardship in hospitals Composition of stewardship teams

Minimal focus on strategic (provider) How to alter human behavior? How to mitigate fear driving scripts? How to overcome patient forces?

No focus on grand strategy (societal) How to financially align societal interests with

provider and patient interests? How to incentivize healthcare organizations to

arm their programs with teeth? How to get payers, regulators, and specialty

societies aligned with basic principles?

Are We Serious About This or Not?Are We Serious About This or Not?

Tactics don’t work if not backed by strategy and grand strategy. We’ve been using the same lousy tactics for

decades. Things are not any better.“I’d love to implement antibiotic restrictions, but our docs won’t tolerate it.”

Common ScenariosCommon Scenarios#1: The Surgical Intern

Them: “Yeah I’ve got a patient with (perforated appendix, cholecystitis, cholangitis, etc). They’re spiking through ceftriaxone + metronidazole. I need piperacillin-tazobactam.”

Me: “It was community onset, right? Why would Pseudomonas be in there?”

Them: “Probably not Pseudomonas. But they’re spiking through ceftriaxone/metronidazole.”

Common ScenariosCommon Scenarios#1: The Surgical Intern

Me: “Piperacillin-tazobactam doesn’t kill susceptible Escherichia coli any deader than ceftriaxone, and this is not Pseudomonas.” (But note the fear is contagious—the more I insist it’s not Pseudomonas,the more likely it is the universe will make it be to spite me!)

#2: The ED or Medicine Resident

Them: “Yeah I’ve got a patient with GNB in the urine.”

Me: “Do they have symptoms?”

Them: “No. But they have GNB in urine.”

Me: “Right. That’s asymptomatic bacteriuria. We don’t treat that.”

Them: “I know. But there’s GNB in the urine, so I need the antibiotics.”

Common ScenariosCommon Scenarios

ED = emergency department; GNB = gram-negative bacillus.

#3: The ICU Fellow

Them: “I need meropenem and vancomycin.”

Me: “What are the indications?”

Them: “I have a crashing patient.”

Me: “Okay. I hear you. But looking at the computer, this is CAP, right?”

Them: “Yeah, it’s CAP. But the patient’s really sick. I need broad coverage.”

Common ScenariosCommon Scenarios

CAP = community-acquired pneumonia; ICU = intensive care unit.

Is This Really an Education Deficit?Is This Really an Education Deficit?

Do we really believe that physicians don’t know not to treat asymptomatic bacteriuria? If this was on a board exam, would they get the question wrong?

Do we think that the surgical team has logically thought through options and simply misunderstands how antibiotics work?

Do we think the ICU Fellow believes Pseudomonasand MRSA are common CAP pathogens?

Or Is This About Fear?Or Is This About Fear? Antibiotics are among the most potent of all anxiolytics—

they act on prescribers. When providers are afraid, they act instinctively.

Antibiotics sooth their fears. They act differently than how they would answer when

taking a board examination. This is about fear—and fear cannot be overcome by

rational education. It must be countered by psychology.

Antibiotic StewardshipAntibiotic Stewardship

Spellberg B, et al. JAMA. 2016;315:1229-1230. For educational purposes only.

We need to recognize that antibiotics are unique among drugs. Only they have transmissible resistance. Those that work today won’t work in the

future—they must be continually replaced. Every person’s use affects everyone else’s. Antibiotics are a shared societal trust—not true

of any other type of drug.

Antibiotic StewardshipAntibiotic Stewardship

Antibiotics and EntitlementAntibiotics and Entitlement

No one has a right to waste antibiotics—wasting them hurts everyone.

Traditional Approaches Focus on what the stewardship team

should look like—process Methods include: Education (yawn) Up-front restrictions Downstream de-escalation Care pathways, order sets, etc

Focus on the Diagnosis!Focus on the Diagnosis!

What is the DDx? What organisms cause those diseases? What antibiotics cover those organisms? Don’t talk to me about your fear—what are you

treating?DDx = differential diagnosis.

Basic ICU Principles Pseudomonal coverage is not required for

community-onset infections (except in unusual circumstances).

MRSA coverage is not required for most CAP, cellulitis, IAI, UTI.

FDA indication is irrelevant. The fact that drugs worked in clinical trials is

irrelevant. Be a responsible steward, please.

FDA = US Food and Drug Administration; IAI = intra-abdominal infections.

Short-Course TherapyShort-Course Therapy“The most viable strategy for reducing

VAP: “Ultra-Short Course” Retrospective study of VAP at Brigham from 2006–

2014 of patients started on antibiotic for “suspected VAP”

All had PEEP ≤5 and FiO2 ≤40% on the day antibiotic was started and for 2 days following.

Suspected VAP = endotracheal or BAL Cx ≥3 days after intubation + antibiotic given within 2 days of Cx

BAL = bronchoalveolar lavage; Cx = culture; FiO2 = fraction of inspired oxygen; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure.

VAP: “Ultra-Short Course”

Klompas et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64:870-876. For educational purposes only.

Author’s conclusion: You can treat with ≤3 days of antibiotic for patients with VAP with low PEEP and FiO2.

My conclusion: You can treat with ≤3 days of antibiotic for patients who don’t have VAP.

If you’re going to treat uninfected patients with antibiotics, at least do the courtesy of treating for a short period of time.

Stewardship: The Power of Diagnostics

Fear drives inappropriate antibiotic use. Fear is based on diagnostic uncertainty. Rapid diagnostics provide psychological

reassurance to overcome the fear. Procalcitonin is a biomarker indicating it is

safe to withhold or shorten antibiotic therapy—it is not diagnostic.

Audit and feedback (peer comparison)

“Accountable justification” in EMR

“Suggested alternatives” in EMR

Stewardship: New Psychological Approaches

EMR = electronic medical record.

Stewardship: Benchmarking Antibiotic Use

Need to align physician and public interests Antibiotic use should be publicly reported and

payments to healthcare systems (and possibly providers) benchmarked to reward low use and penalize high use.

Analogous to infection prevention—always had IP programs, but infection rates didn’t go down until public reporting and pay for performance

IP = infection prevention.

Take-Home Messages1. Recognize and combat fear and entitlement; keep it

objective. What’s the DDx? What organisms are a concern?

2. Don’t use pseudomonal or MRSA coverage routinely—only when indicated.

3. Use short-course therapy4. Encourage diagnostics/biomarkers5. The future is audit/feedback and pay for

performance.

Data Safety and Monitoring Board’s recommendation to discontinue randomization into the TANGO-2 trial was based on the results of an interim analysis of data.

Efficacy: Statistically significant differences favor meropenem-vaborbactam over best available therapy for clinical cure at the TOC visit in the protocol-specified primary population (all patients with microbiologically evaluable CRE).

Mortality rates: Lower among patients treated with meropenem-vaborbactam Renal toxicity: Lower rates of renal adverse events and serum creatinine increases among

patients treated with meropenem-vaborbactam than best available therapy – particularly among patients receiving colistin and aminoglycosides
