Excursions Into Epidemiology ● “It was in 1948 that I first was made aware
that much of what we were doing in the hospital was considered to be epidemiology. In that year I was surprised to receive a letter notifying me that I had been elected a member of the American Epidemiological Society, of which, I confess, I had never heard until that time.”
Finland M. J Infect Dis 1973; 128: 76-124

Excursions Into Epidemiology (cont.) ● “It was 20 years later that I attained
‘professional status,’ for it was only after I was relegated to emeritus status as a professor of medicine at the university that I was given the title ‘epidemiologist’ at BCH with a salary (equivalent to that of a research fellow) to go with it.”

GOALS OF ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMOTHERAPY
Maintaining value of chemotherapy agents by minimizing resistance, through
1. Maximizing effective treatment and preventive therapy (right indication, drug regimen, dose, administration route, etc.)
2. Recognizing and responding to opportunities for development of new antibacterial drugs
![Page 11: The Role of the Epidemiologist in Antimicrobial Chemotherapy · The Role of the Epidemiologist in Antimicrobial Chemotherapy - Lessons from Garrod and Finland John E McGowan, Jr,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070615/5c8ce26e09d3f2414e8c80d3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What Does An Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Epidemiologist Do? Identify Relevant Sources, Collect by Appropriate Methods, Manage, Analyze, Interpret and Report DATA to Drive EFFORTS IN ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMOTHERAPY
– Populations (Groups) are focus rather than individuals

FOCUS OF PRACTICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY Question 1 – What Should Be Done?
Collect by appropriate methods, analyze, interpret, and report population-based data to inform plans for treatment, control and prevention (BUT other team members involved in developing and implementing plan)
Question 2 – Is Plan Being Implemented? Collect, analyze, interpret, and report data on process measures to evaluate implementation of plan elements (BUT other team members involved in interpreting data and further action)
Question 3 – Is Plan Working? Collect, analyze, interpret, and report data on outcome measures to evaluate effectiveness of plan (BUT other team members involved in using data and further action)
These data lead back to Question 1 – “continuous loop”

Education for the Public “It is well to remember the days before the antimicrobial revolution at a time when there is so much talk of a return to the pre-antibiotic era. Although microbes continue to surprise us with their ingenuity in surviving the antibiotic onslaught, the chances that microbial disease will once more become regularly untreatable is exceedingly remote. “That said, resistance is a real and urgent threat that must be addressed if reliable therapy with first-line agents is to remain the norm.”

Emergence of Antibiotic Resistance in Hospitals, 1935-1975
● “The dominant factor in the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens, whether in hospital wards or in the community, is clearly the intensive use of the antibiotic agents to which resistance emerges and then spreads.”
Finland M. Rev Infect Dis 1979; 1: 4-21
![Page 37: The Role of the Epidemiologist in Antimicrobial Chemotherapy · The Role of the Epidemiologist in Antimicrobial Chemotherapy - Lessons from Garrod and Finland John E McGowan, Jr,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070615/5c8ce26e09d3f2414e8c80d3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Holmes AH et al. Lancet 2016; 387: 176-187
“… although the link between human antimicrobial use and resistance seems clear cut, this association is complex. Confounding factors mean a uniform approach to understanding resistance cannot be taken. “These factors include pathogen–drug interactions, pathogen-host interactions, mutation rates of the pathogen, emergence of successful antimicrobial resistant clones, the transmission rates of pathogens between human beings, animals, and the environment, cross-resistance, and selection of co-resistance to unrelated drugs.”

EPI DATA HELP TARGET KEY CLINICAL COLLEAGUES
● “With the emergence in human beings of plasmid-mediated resistance mechanisms for antimicrobials of crucial importance, such as colistin, consideration of the increased selection pressures created by exposure to these antimicrobials in prophylactic regimes must be deemed a priority. To achieve this, engagement with all clinical specialties to promote clinical leadership of antimicrobial stewardship is crucial.”

“… if the pace of discovery were slowed, or even if we had a moratorium for a year or two, it might not be a bad thing. There is a possibility that not many new antibiotics remain to be discovered, and if so it is better that they should be introduced one by one at fairly long intervals. My main reason for this suggestion is that the rapid expansion of choice for the clinician has far outrun his capacity for learning about these drugs and their different merits and indications.”

Results: The majority of CCGs and acute trusts reported reviewing national AMS toolkits formally or informally (60% and 87%, respectively). However, only 13% of CCGs and 46% of acute trusts had developed an action plan for the implementation of these toolkits. Conclusions: The majority of healthcare organizations review national AMS toolkits; however, implementation of the toolkits, through the development of action plans to deliver AMS interventions, requires improvement.

● “… some propose that the requirements of adequate and well-controlled trials make the study of new antibiotics infeasible. To address perceived hurdles, these bills propose a regulatory pathway in poorly defined “limited populations” without requiring demonstrated benefits in populations with resistant disease.
● Studies would be done in patients with effective options rather than those with unmet medical needs, allowing approval even with inferior effectiveness in the population studied.
● No requirement for diagnostics means that the drugs may be prescribed empirically outside the limited population.
● The bills would alter the standard of approval from substantial evidence to “sufficient evidence” derived from “small clinical data sets” and would consider preclinical data, animal models, and pharmacologic data to be “confirmatory evidence.”

Strategies are urgently needed to ‘re-develop’ these drugs using modern standards, integrating new knowledge into regulatory frameworks and communicating the knowledge from the research bench to the bedside. Without a systematic approach to redeveloping these old drugs and rigorously testing them according to today’s standards, there is a significant risk of doing harm to patients and further increasing multidrug resistance.

In this review, we look at the data for resistance suppression. Approaches include increasing the intensity of therapy to suppress resistant subpopulations; developing concepts of clinical breakpoints to include issues surrounding suppression of resistance; and paying attention to the duration of therapy, which is another important issue for resistance suppression. New understanding of optimizing combination therapy is of interest for difficult-to-treat pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae. These lessons need to be applied to our old drugs to preserve them as well and need to be put into national and international antibiotic resistance strategies.
