Outline

• Management of urinary tract infections due to extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase producing bacteria

• QTc concerns

• Scabies

• Infection control in the clinic

• Conclusion

Case #1

• 63 y/o F with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic bladder with a history of recurrent UTIs presents to you complaining of 1 day of dysuria and suprapubic tenderness. She denies fevers and appears well. Her vital signs and exam are normal. You order a UA and urine culture and receive the following results:– UA: +LE, +nitrites, 20‐50 WBCs, trace epis– Culture: >100,000 E. coli (R = ceftriaxone, amoxicillin‐clavulanate, TMP/SMX, ciprofloxacin; Sn = ertapenem, gentamicin)

You are concerned that this is an ESBL‐producing organism. What do you do?

1. Admit her to the hospital, place a PICC line, and start IV ertapenem

2. Arrange for IM injections of gentamicin x 7 days

3. Treat with amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid 500 mg/125 mg PO x 5 days

4. Treat with fosfomycin 3 g PO x 1

What is an ESBL?

• Plasmid‐encoded bacterial enzyme

• PCN, cephalosporin, monobactam resistance

• Usually (50‐70%) resistant to others, too—TMP/SMX, FQs

• Heterogeneous enzymes producing resistance

• Resistance from other mechanisms

– Treatment approach may be similar

Paterson DL. Clin Microbiol Rev 2005; 18: 657‐686. 

Risk factors for community ESBLs

• Age

• Male gender

• DM

• Prior hospitalization

• Prior FQ or cephalosporin use

• Prior hospital admission

• K. pneumoniae

Rodriguex‐Bano J and Navarro MD. Clin Microbiol Infect 2008; suppl 1: 104‐110.

Nitrofurantoin

• 40‐50% oral bioavailability

– Low tissue levels but high in the urine

– Do not use in renal failure

• 71% of ESBL E. coli isolates susceptible

• ~70% success rate for ESBL E. coli lower UTIs

Sorlozano Puerto A. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 2006; 54: 135‐139.

Clavulanic acid combinations

• Very effective inhibitor of most ESBLs• Compounded w/ amox

– Easily hydrolyzed by ESBLs– High urinary levels help overcome resistance– Dose 500 mg/125 mg PO q8 hours x 5‐7 days

• 31/37 (84%) cure in observational study– 94% (17/18) in those with MIC ≤ 4– 90% (9/10) in those with MIC = 8– 75% (3/4) in those with MIC = 16– 40% (2/5) in those with MIC ≥ 32

Other β‐lactams plus clavulanate

• Some centers are using amox‐clavulanate + cefpodoxime or cefixime for lower UTI due to ESBL organisms

– Dosing schedule does not match up fully

Livermore DM, et al. Clin Microbiol Infect 2008; 14 S1: 189‐193

Sensitive (≤1) Resistant (>1)

E. coli Cefpodoxime 0 380

+clavulanate 340 40

Klebsiella Cefpodoxime 3 223

+clavulanate 205 21

Fosfomycin

• Inhibits cell wall synthesis, unique MOA

• 3 g powder mixed with fluid x 1 dose

– QOD x 3 or more for complicated infections

• Resistance < 3% in outpatients with UTI

– E. coli less resistant than Klebsiella spp.

• Susceptibility testing often a send‐out

• 94% clinical cure rate

FalagasME, et al. Lancet ID 2010; 10: 43‐50; Pullucku H, et al. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2007; 29: 62‐65

Take‐home

• ESBL‐producing organisms are becoming more common in the community

• Prior antibiotic and healthcare exposure are major RFs

• Oral treatment options include nitrofurantoin, amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid, other clavulanicacid combinations, and fosfomycin

Outline

Management of urinary tract infections due to extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase producing bacteria

• QTc concerns

• Scabies

• Infection control in the clinic

• Conclusion

Case #2: You have a patient with a history of dilated cardiomyopathy who has prostatitis, which you would like to treat with 21 days of antibiotic. Which antibiotic should prompt an EKG before treatment?

1. Cephalexin

2. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid

3. Ciprofloxacin

4. Doxycyline

QTc concerns

• QT includes depolarization + repolarization– Large variability– Affected by gender, age, autonomic tone, heart rate, drugs, electrolytes, ischemia

• Torsades de pointes is polymorphic VT associated with ↑QT interval

• Certain medications can prolong QTc• Difficult to study

– No standardized preclinical model– Trials not usually powered to detect changes– Often identified in post‐marketing studies and reports– Mandated risk assessment started in 2005

Death by cardiovascular risk

Ray WA et al., N Engl J Med 2012;  366: 1881‐90

Risk varies by macrolide

• Telithromycin

• Clarithromycin

• Erythromycin

• Azithromycin

Fluoroquinolones

• Interfere with the potassium channel responsible for cardiac repolarization

• Many reports of TdP for all FQs

• Multifactorial

– 24% with additional QTc prolonging drugs

– 62% with cardiac disease

– 17% electrolyte abnormalities

• Ciprofloxacin appears safest

Goldstein EJC, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2006; 43: 1603‐1611.

Recommendations

• Avoid QT‐prolonging drugs in anyone with a QT>440ms (female) or 420ms (male)

• Do not allow the QT to exceed 500ms 

• Adjust dose for organ dysfunction

• Be aware of drug interactions 

– CYP interactions

– Concurrent QTc liable drugs

What to do if you suspect a serious adverse drug reaction?

• Stop the medication and find an alternative

• Treat the reaction

• Report to FDA MedWatch: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/

Take‐home

• Several antibiotics have been associated with prolonged QTc and sudden death

• Small increased risk

• Risk is likely associated with underlying cardiovascular comorbidities and other liabilities

• Screening EKG reasonable for those at high risk

• Hard to define exposed population– Open registration areas, waiting rooms, etc.

• Inadequate triage– Registration often by those w/ less medical knowledge

• Clinics not designed for infection control – No negative pressure

– One entrance/exit

– Recirculated air

• You are reviewing your case panel for the day and see that your third patient, who is new to your practice, has a chief complaint of chronic cough. 

What should be done when this patient arrives?

1. He should be checked into the waiting room and called for his appointment as usual

2. He should be screened for TB risk factors and sent to the ED if positive

3. He should be screened for TB risk factors and masked if positive

4. He should be screened for TB risk factors, masked, and placed in an exam room if positive

Triage for TB in the real‐world

• 2/55 (4%) isolated at triage

• 26 (47%) isolated in the ED

• 17/44 (30%) on admission

• 4/44 (8%) after admission

• Median time from registration to isolation = 8 hours

• Reported attack rates 20‐76%

Case

• Your second patient of the day arrives with her son. They both have had several days of fever and now have developed a rash. The son was not immunized due to parental concerns about vaccines.

What do you need to do now?

1. Send the patient directly to the ED

2. Examine the patient and make a plan for diagnostic testing and treatment

3. Paper mask for the patient and her son, N95 mask for you, shut the door

4. Contact your department of public health

5. 1 and 4

6. 2, 3, and 4

Measles exposures in the clinic

• 3‐30% acquired in US via healthcare exposure

– RR with health‐care visits: 2.1‐8.4

• 5‐10% of HCWs non‐immune to measles

• Infectious period: 

– 4 days before the rash until 4 days after the rash

Case

• You are scheduled for a discharge follow‐up appointment with a 73 y/o wheelchair‐bound patient with history of CVA, who recently was admitted to the hospital for urosepsis. His hospital course was complicated by C. difficilecolitis, for which he is being treated with a 14‐day course of oral vancomycin. He was discharged 10 days ago.

How do you manage the patient in light of the history of recent C. diff?

1. Cancel his appointment: You don’t want to risk C. diff spreading to yourself or your patients!

2. See him as usual, no need for any change in practice

3. See him at the end of the day, wear gloves, and clean the exam room with bleach after his visit

C. diff spread in the outpatient setting

• Recently discharged outpatients with CDI 

• 81% had at least 1 outpatient visit within 12 weeks

• 13/44 (31%) with perirectal colonization 

• 14/44 (32%) had skin contamination

• Risk factors for shedding:– Older age

– Receipt of non‐CDI antibiotics

– Incontinence

– Decreased mobility

How do you manage the patient in light of the history of recent C. diff?

1. Cancel his appointment: You don’t want to risk C. diff spreading to yourself or your patients!

2. See him as usual, no need for any change in practice

3. See him at the end of the day, wear gloves, and clean the exam room with bleach after his visit

Take‐home

• Train front‐line staff to triage in order to promptly isolate

– Minimize exposure to other patients

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment

• Protect yourself with immunizations 

– Post‐exposure prophylaxis when necessary/available

• Report suspected cases of communicable diseases to the appropriate authorities
