Antibiotics in Long Term Care:why do we care?
• Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed classes of medications in long-term care facilities
• Up to 70% of residents in long-term care facilities per year receive an antibiotic
• It is estimated that between $38 million and $137 million are spent each year on antibiotics for long-term care residents
• As much as half of antibiotic use in long term care may be inappropriate or unnecessary

What is Antimicrobial Stewardship?
• Antimicrobial stewardship involves the optimal selection, dose and duration of an antibiotic resulting in the cure or prevention of infection with minimal unintended consequences to the patient including emergence of resistance, adverse drug events, and cost

• 12 studies in North America:– 1.8-13.5 infections per 1000 resident-care
days– Rate of death from infection 0.04-0.71 per
1000 resident-care days15

The burden of infection in long-term care
![Page 17: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Why focus on long term care?• Many long-term care residents are colonized
with bacteria that live in and on the patient without causing harm
• Protocols are not readily available or consistently used to distinguish between colonization and true infection
• So, patients are regularly treated for infection when they have none– 30-50% of elderly long-term care residents have a
positive urine culture in the absence of infection
18
![Page 19: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why focus on long term care?• When patients are transferred from acute
to long-term care, potential for miscommunication can lead to inappropriate antibiotic use
• Elderly or debilitated long-term care residents are at particularly high risk for complications due to the adverse effects of antibiotics, including Clostridium difficile infection

Antibiotic misuse adversely impacts
patients
Getting an antibiotic increases a patient’s chance of becoming colonized or infected with a resistant organism.

Case• An 82-year-old long-term care resident
has a fever and a productive cough• He has no urinary or other symptoms, and
a chronic venous stasis ulcer on the lower extremity is unchanged
• A “pan-culture” is initiated in which urine is sent for UA and culture, sputum and blood are sent for culture, and the ulcer on the leg is swabbed
23
![Page 24: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• A CXR is done and is negative• The urinalysis has 3 white blood cells• Urine culture is positive for >100,000 CFU
of E coli• Sputum gram stain has no PMNs, no
organisms• Sputum grows 1+ Candida albicans• Wound culture grows VRE
24
![Page 25: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• The patient is started on cipro for the E coli in the urine, linezolid for the VRE in the wound, and fluconazole for the Candida in the sputum
• Two weeks later the patient has diarrhea and C. diff toxin assay is positive
25
![Page 26: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• The only infection this patient ever had was a viral URI
26
![Page 27: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Colonized or Infected:What is the Difference?
• People who carry bacteria or fungi without evidence of infection are colonized
• If an infection develops, it is usually from bacteria or fungi that colonize patients
• Bacteria or fungi that colonize patients can be transmitted from one patient to another by the hands of healthcare workers
• There is no need to treat for colonization
27
![Page 28: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

What could have been done differently?
• Understanding the difference between colonization and infection– No (or few) WBCs in a UA = no UTI– In the absence of dyspnea, hypoxia and CXR
changes, pneumonia is unlikely– Candida is an exceedingly rare cause of
pneumonia– Wounds will grow organisms when cultured-
infection can only be determined clinically

Antibiogram
• Helps to determine best choices for empiric therapy

Antimicrobial PrescribingEmpiric • Initial administration of an antibiotic regimen
– Goal: improve outcome while minimizing potential to promote resistance
Defined or Targeted • Modification of antimicrobial therapy once the
cause of infection is identified – Goal: select the narrowest spectrum agent possible
• Therapy may also be discontinued if the diagnosis of infection becomes unlikely

Targeting, de-escalating and discontinuing antibiotics
• The empiric regimen is very often NOT the regimen that should be continued for the full treatment course
• GET CULTURES and use the data to target therapy using the most narrow spectrum agent possible
• Take an “Antibiotic Time Out” – reassess after 48-72 hours39 39

Choosing the perfect antibiotic…
• Empiric:– Needs to get to the site of infection– Patient’s microbiology and antibiotic history– Minimize adverse effects
• Other medical problems (renal insufficiency, C.diff, etc)– Avoid drug interactions– Allergy– Threshold for failure– Antibiogram

![Page 42: The Increasing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/568165db550346895dd8f09a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Choosing the perfect antibiotic…
• Targeted– Treat specific organism– Narrowest spectrum possible– Compliance– Cost– Oral option?

Take Home Points
• Antibiotics are a shared resource… and becoming a scare resource
• Appropriate antibiotic use is a patient safety priority
• Know the difference between colonization and infection
• To combat resistance: Think globally, act locally
