Ceftaroline (Zinforo) a new toy for MRSA skin infection ?


Ceftaroline- a new generation of cephalosporin
Bactericidal
Block PBP
Addictive to other antibiotic, least interaction
Professor Lipman
CANVAS study showed effective against MRSA  complicated soft tissue infection compared to vancomycin  and aztreonem. Study showed non inferiority to Vancomycin and aztreonem
Treatment 5-14 days
FOCUS I and II – study showed effective towards CAP. No clinical data regarding MRSA CAP.
New combination produce –ceftaroline + avibactem –enhanced gram –ve cover.

Intensive Talk with Prof Falagas

Summary:
Bacteria develop multiple resistance to antibiotic
By:
1)producing B-lactamase
2)overexpression efflux pump to release extra antibiotic
3)antibiotic modify enzyme
4)ribosomal mutation
Thus appear all superbug such as ESBL, carbapenemase producing klebsiella etc
Pt infected with ESBL +ve had relative risk 1.85 of mortality compared to normal bugs
Treatment of commonest bugs in ICU –Acinetobacter spp.
Recommended to do C+S with MIC
Therapy promptly early
Start therapy right at beginning
Modification therapy as nessasary (de-escalation) early
Tigercycline- a new agt
It evades tetracycline efflux pump and ribosomal protective mechanism
Bacteriostatic
That is limitation no good blood level for therapeutic
Varied response to acinetobacter
Imipenem –launch with 4g/day
Recommend 2g/d as reduce seizure
Not enough as moderate susceptible organism need 1g qid .
Recommended for high MIC acinetobacter to give prolong infusion meropenem 1 g tds as long as 3 hr compared with 30min normally given.
Study proved similar dose with prolong infusion better outcome
Colistin monotherapy
Got 52% isolates for acinetobacter were polymycin only susceptible
The rest need colistin and one other antibiotic (rec add carbapenem)
As highest % of survival
Benault et al. showed Obesity highest rate septic shock
Partly related with leptin def
DM
FOsfamycin-good for Klebsiella spp and pseudomonas spp.
Another talk by gastro
If NDM1 may give fosfamycin + carbapenem.
UGIB
Commonest cause H. pylori followed by NSAID, Antiplatelet
Risk of UGIB-age, multiple co-morbidity and H/O peptic ulcer
If pt got cardiovascular problem, may restart antipltelet after 4-5 days of peptic ulcer
