MICROBIOLOGY OF SINUSITIS

Brook, Proc Am Thorac Soc 8:90, 2011

MICROBIOLOGY OF SINUSITIS

Brook, Proc Am Thorac Soc 8:90, 2011

• Normal - No growth in 25-50%

• Acute – Aerobes –  (MRSA = 60-70% of S. aureus)

• Chronic – Anaerobes

• Nosocomial – Enteric Gram-negative rods – Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Enterobacter,

Proteus, Serratia

CALAOMS Meeting: January 18, 2015 4

MICROBIOLOGY OF OTHER HEAD AND NECK

INFECTIONS Brook, et al.

•  Cellulitis – streps and staph, still some anaerobes, esp. head and neck

•  Odontogenic sinusitis – same organisms but fewer

•  Rhinogenic orbital infections – same organisms but fewer

MICROBIOLOGY OF MEDIASTINITIS

Brook, et al.

• Post-sternotomy – Staph aureus

• Other mediastinitis (odontogenic, gunshot wounds)

– Same as orofacial pathogens

MICROBIOLOGY OF NECROTIZING FASCIITIS

Brook, et al.

•  Polymicrobial (Local flora) –  4.6 isolates per case –  Head and neck:

orofacial pathogens –  Perineal: abdominal

and G-U pathogens •  Group A beta-hemolytic

streptococci •  Clostridial •  MRSA •  Klebsiella

Microbiology of Orofacial Infections in Immunocompromised

Patients

• Diabetes – Klebsiella*

•  I.V. Drug Abuse – MRSA • HIV - Intracellular pathogens (M. avium)

– Multi drug resistant TB – HIV-P and HIV-G (same flora as periodontitis)

*Huang TT, et al. Acta Otolaryngol 126:396, 2006 * Lee, et al.: Yongsei Med J 2007:48:55-62

Practical Culturing Techniques

• When is culturing necessary?

• The use of culturettes • Gram stains

• What if antibiotics are already in use? • New bacterial identification techniques

Molecular methods may soon be more rapid and accurate

When is Culturing Necessary?

• Serious, potentially life-threatening infections

• Chronic, recalcitrant infections • Previous, multiple antibiotic therapy

•  Immunocompromised patient

Principle 3: Use specific antibiotic therapy as soon as possible, based on culture and sensitivity testing.

CALAOMS Meeting: January 18, 2015 5

Culturettes

• Aerobic and anaerobic

– watch expiration dates

• More practical for the office than syringes

The Role of the Gram Stain

•  Accurate early diagnosis

•  A guide for antibiotic therapy

The “True” Flora of Orofacial Odontogenic Infections

• 69% unculturable

• 6-18 species per case

• Dialister pneumosintes, Parvimonas micra, Fusobacterium in 78%

• Eubacterium brachy, Prevotella oris in 67%

Flynn, et al. JOMS 70:1854, 2012

Molecular Techniques for Diagnosis of OMF Infections

Even Newer Techniques • Real-time PCR: results in 1 hour

• Screening for MRSA, epidemic pathogens • Rapid culture and sensitivity testing by molecular methods

• Problem: which resistance genes are “turned on”?

When antibiotic therapy has already begun

• Oral antibiotics only (PCN 5.6 v. 20 µg/mL)

• Penetration of antibiotics into abscess cavities

– Clindamycin is best abscess penetrator – Abscess concentration = 33% of serum

concentration

• Yield of cultures is still good

“Normal Oral Flora” - So what??

• Medicolegal protection • Empiric antibiotics should be effective • Severe (hospitalized) cases:

–  Eikenella corrodens grows on clindamycin –  Penicillin-resistant strains in 55% of cases –  Penicillin failure in 21% of cases –  Clindamycin-resistant strains in 17% of cases

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

• Resistance Rates Among Oral Pathogens

• Penicillin Resistance in Hospitalized Cases

• Highly Resistant Organisms

swelling after:

•  48 h of IV PCN 2 m.u. q4h •  Postop CT demonstrating adequate

drainage •  Isolation of PCN-resistant organisms •  Toxicity or allergic reaction

ANTIBIOTICS FOR COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED MRSA

Gilbert, et al: Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy, 2012

Outpatient, Immunocompetent* Febrile,

Immunocompetent Bacteremia/Sepsis or Endocarditis

TMP/SMX- DS (160 – 320 bid) Vancomycin or

Linezolid (IV) Vancomycin ↔ Daptomycin (IV)

Doxy- or minocycline (100 po bid)

*If abscess, I&D is most important

Daptomycin + Naf-, Oxacillin or

Ceftaroline or Telavancin

Clindamycin (300-450 tid)

*If complicated switch to Vanco after 2-3 d Linezolid (bacteriostatic)

Gilbert, et al: Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy, 2014

Principle 7: Avoid the use of combination antibiotics, except in specific situations where they are shown to be necessary.

VRSA

• Community transmission of van A gene from enterococci to MRSA has been reported

• Linezolid or telavancin • Daptomycin +/- ceftaroline or

oxacillin, based on C&S

MULTIDRUG RESISTANT VIRIDANS STREPTOCOCCI

MDRVS •  19 yr old female with congenital and valvular heart

disease, kidney and liver transplants •  On daily penicillin & T/S prophylaxis, prednisone •  Osteomyelitis after extractions •  Resistant to PCN, clinda, cephs, vanco, macrolides •  Treated with moxifloxacin

KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE CARBAPENEMASE AND NDM-1 • Metallobetalactamases (bla gene)

• New Delhi metalloproteinase-1 = NDM-1 • NDM-1 associated with medical care in India

• Resistance to all betalactams except monobactams

• Monobactam resistance carried on the plasmid by a separate gene, however

NON-ANTIBIOTIC STRATEGIES FOR HRO’s

• HANDWASHING !!!!! •  Isolation and aseptic technique • Limit # of caregivers • Minimize/remove colonizing sites (devices,

esp. in VRE) • Minimize patient transport • Minimize LOS in ICU’s, etc. • Disinfect entire units

EMPIRIC ANTIBIOTICS OF CHOICE FOR

ODONTOGENIC INFECTIONS

• Outpatient infections • Severe (hospitalized) infections

Why Amoxicillin Is the Empiric Drug of Choice for Outpatient

Odontogenic Infections

Principle 5: Use the narrowest spectrum empiric antibiotic effective against the most likely pathogens

Principle 9: Use the most cost-effective appropriate antibiotic.

Systematic Review of Effectiveness

Conclusions

1.  The usual antibiotic choices are generally equally effective, given appropriate surgery

2.  Surgery alone may be effective, but time to cure may be shorter when antibiotics are used.

3.  Antibiotic selection is appropriately based on pharmacologic safety, cost, and past medical history.

Flynn: OMS Clinics N. America, Nov. 2011

Principle 5: Use the least toxic indicated antibiotic, considering interaction with concurrent medications. Principle 9: Use the most cost-effective appropriate antibiotic.

Does an antibiotic prescription prevent severe infection?

In patients with toothache •  Randomized clinical trial of Penicillin V or placebo in patients

presenting to ER with toothache (Vicodin given for pain relief)

– 13 of 134 patients with toothache developed severe infection (swelling, fever, pus drainage, or trismus) = 10%

– No difference between PCN and placebo groups for these parameters

– No difference in pain between antibiotic and placebo groups

– Positive correlation with developing severe infection: Existing amalgam, PAP > 1.5 mm

• Conclusion: Definitive dental treatment for toothache with existing amalgam and large PAP within 5-7d, not antibiotics (Grade A)

•  High risk (with mucositis) –  Cefepime, carbapenem, piperacillin-

tazobactam, or –  Add vanco for IV site infection, MRSA –  Add vanco- + tobramycin + echinocandin

for sepsis/shock •  Persistent fever > 5d (think fungi)

–  Echinocandin or voriconazole Gilbert, et al: Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy, 2014

DURATION OF ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY

SHORT COURSES MINIMIZE RESISTANCE

Amoxicillin: 3d vs. 7d course had equally good results. Chardin, et al.: J Med Microbiol 2009;58:1092-7

Type of Infection Duration of Antibiotic Odontogenic 3 - 4 d Sinusitis 5d (adults) - 10 d (kids) Osteomyelitis 42 d (until ESR WNL?) Actinomycosis 42 (Sanford) - 180 d (OMS)

Principle 8: Minimize the duration of antibiotic therapy, as appropriate to the presenting type of infection.

WHEN TO CHANGE ANTIBIOTICS

•  ALLERGIC OR TOXIC REACTION

•  AT LEAST 48 h OF I.V. ANTIBIOTIC (72 h FOR ORAL)

A QUESTION FOR YOU

WHEN DO YOU USE ANTIBIOTICS FOR 3M SURGERY?

A. H/o pericoronitis B. Difficult impactions C. A and B D. Always E. Never

A QUESTION FOR YOU

WHEN DO YOU START ANTIBIOTICS FOR 3M SURGERY?

A. 2 days or more preop B. Orally, 2h or less preop C. At start of the IV D. Take-home prescription E. Not unless infection develops postop

EVIDENCE BASE FOR PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS IN

THIRD MOLAR SURGERY

• Prior pericoronitis increases infection risk

• Topical tetracycline decreases risk of infection and dry socket

• Preop antibiotic decreases infection risk • Short postop course decreases infection risk

POLICY ON ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

ADA Council on Scientific Affairs

• Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem • Narrow spectrum antibiotics for simple cases

– Penicillin – Metronidazole – Clindamycin in PCN allergy

ADA Council on Scientific Affairs. JADA 135:484-7, 2004

Principle 10: Use prophylactic antibiotics only where proved effective or according to professional guidelines.

POLICY ON ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

ADA Council on Scientific Affairs

•  Broad spectrum antibiotics for complex cases

–  Amoxicillin, ampicillin

–  Augmentin for sinus infections

–  Cephalosporins

–  Macrolides

–  Tetracyclines

ADA Council on Scientific Affairs. JADA 135:484-7, 2004

SIMPLE VS. COMPLEX ODONTOGENIC INFECTIONS

•  SIMPLE

–  Swelling limited to the alveolar process and vestibular space

–  First attempt at treatment

–  Nonimmunocompromised patient

•  COMPLEX

–  Swelling extending beyond the vestibular space

–  Failed prior treatment

–  Immunocompromised patient

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS IN

DENTISTRY

•  Follow AHA/AAOS Guidelines •  Late prosthetic joint infection risk < anaphylactic

shock risk •  Indications for wound infection prophylaxis:

–  Immunocompromise, including fair/poor IDDM control (Hgb A1c < 7.0)

–  Cranial shunts: VA shunts, not VP shunts –  Dialysis shunts

Tong DC, Rothwell BR. JADA 131:366-74, 2000

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS IN

DENTISTRY

“Aside from the specific situations described, there is little or no scientific basis for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in dentistry. The risk of inappropriate use of antibiotics and widespread antibiotic resistance appear to be far more important than any possible perceived benefit.

“Dentists are wise to use antibiotic prophylaxis in only those specific situations in which there is a valid scientific basis for it.”

Tong DC, Rothwell BR. JADA 131:366-74, 2000

WEAKNESSES OF STUDIES ON LPJI

•  TWO RECENT CASE CONTROL STUDIES:

–  Dental Procedures + Antibiotic Prophylaxis followed by LPJI

–  OUTCOME VARIABLE = ALL CASES OF LPJI

–  No significant difference between cases with and without prophylaxis

•  INFECTING BACTERIA IN THE SUBSEQUENT LPJI:

–  Staphylococci = 58%

–  Oral flora = 15%

•  SUBSET OF LPJI DUE TO ORAL BACTERIA – INSUFFICIENT DATA

–  No microbiologic data in JADA study (Medicare data set)

–  Insufficient statistical power in CID study

•  IT IS UNFAIR TO EXPECT AMOXICILLIN OR CLINDAMYCIN TO PREVENT LPJI DUE TO RESISTANT BACTERIA!

Skaar DD, et al.: JADA 142:1343, 2011; Berbari EF, et al: Clinical Infectious Diseases 50:8, 2010.

REVISED GUIDELINES ON LPJI 12/18/2012

•  The practitioner might consider discontinuing the practice of routinely prescribing prophylactic antibiotics for patients with hip and knee prosthetic joint implants undergoing dental procedures.

• Grade of Recommendation: Limited = quality of evidence unconvincing or quality studies show little clear advantage of one approach vs. another.

• Implications: Practitioners should be cautious in deciding whether to follow a recommendation classified as Limited, and should exercise judgment and be alert to emerging publications that report evidence. Patient preference should have a substantial influencing role.
