Antibiotic Stewardship Programme
• Effective antimicrobial stewardship– Audit & feedback– Guidelines & algorithms– Antibiotic order form– Combination– De escalation– Dose optimization– Parentral oral– Cycling
• Comprehensive Infection control– Managing data and
information– Policies & procedures– Regulatory requirements– Employee health– Prevent transmission,
investigate outbreaks– Education & training– Mobilize resources: human
& financial
Monitoring MDROs is important
• To– Detect newly emerging antimicrobial profile– Identify vulnerable patient population– Assess need for & effectiveness of, intervention
• Why– Incidence has increased in the past decades– Options for treatment are limited – Has important implications for patient safety– Associated with prolonged stay, costs and mortality
Which MDROs should we monitor ?Choice need to be facility based
• May include:
– MRSA & VRSA
– VRE
– MDR GNB
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Acinetobacter baumannii
• Klebsiella pneumoniae
• Escherichia coli
• Before staring make sure clear cut definitions are in place & understood by all participating in surveillance
MDROs Metrics5 categories of outcome measures
1. Tracking patients
2. Monitoring susceptibility patterns
3. Estimating infection burden
4. Estimating Exposure burden
5. Quantifying healthcare acquisition
Preventive Process Measures• Monitor adherence to Hand Hygiene• Monitor adherence to Gown & Glove use• Monitor adherence to Active Surveillance Testing
1. Tracking patient
• A. Line listing: – Not a rate, so no denominator, – No defined period, continuously updated– Essential elements of line listing:
» Pt identification,» Hospital location» Date of admission» Date and time of sample collection » Source of sample» Date of first positive
– Useful to flag patients for » identification and » contract isolation
A. Line Listing• Simple• Could be the only essential metrics for rare MDROs• For common MDROs like MRSA it provides
– Identification of patient
– History of infection or colonization
• Can trigger & follow outbreak investigation for new or rapidly emerging MDROs
• Initial part of any risk assessment; identifies pts with a prior history of colonization or infection. This might be the only metrics necessary for rare MDROs (eg VRSA)
1. Tracking patientA. Line Listing
• Type of microbiology data required:– Clinical culture data (& AST data if available)
• Numerator– Pt with newly recovered MDRO isolate (regardless of
specimen source) by HCF
• Denominator– None
• Surveillance interval– Continuous
• Location of use– Whole HCF
2. Monitoring susceptibility pattern
• A. Antibiogram:• To provide guidance for antimicrobial prescription• Monitor progress is assessing proportion of MDRO resistant to certain
antibiotics of interest
• CLSI Recommendations of Antibiogram:1.Methods of summarizing susceptibility data2.Report results in “percent susceptible”3.Organisms morphological grouping4.Duplicate isolate notification5.Description of exact collection period.6.Number of isolates for each organism.7.Reporting only organisms with greater than 30 isolates.8.Use of Generic names of antimicrobials.9.Utilization of CLSI approved antimicrobial abbreviations.10.Utilization of “dash” to describe susceptibility data not reported11.Annual reporting of results
2. Monitoring Susceptibility Pattern
A. Antibiogram• Type of microbiology data required:
– Clinical culture data • Numerator
– Number of first susceptible clinical isolates (regardless of specimen source) per pt for each unit or HCF
• Denominator– Total number of isolates (both S & R) per pt. for each unit or HCF
• Surveillance interval– Atleast annually
• Location of use– Whole HCF (consider use for specific units or populations)
3. Estimation of Infection Burden
A. Metrics:
Incidence or Incidence density rate of hospital onset bacteremia
Basic for all MDROs, especially for emergence of new resistance
3. Estimation of Infection BurdenA. Incidence density rate of hospital onset bacteremia
• Type of microbiology data required– Blood culture data only
• Numerator– Number of MDRO isolates recovered from blood samples for
each unit or HCF > 3 calendar days after admission to unit or HCF
• Denominator– 100 pt admissions (incidence); 1000 pt days ( inc. density)
• Surveillance interval– Monthly
• Location of use– Specific units (consider use for whole HCF)
B. Metrics:
Nosocomial organism specific infection incidence or incidence density
Useful for assessing burden of a specific organism regardless of extrinsic risk factors (eg catheter or ventilator use)
3. Estimation of Infection Burden
3. Estimation of Infection Burden B. Nosocomial organism specific infection incidence
• Type of microbiology data required– Clinical culture data only
• Numerator– Number of hospital onset MDRO infections meeting standard
infection criteria
• Denominator– 100 pt admissions (incidence); 1000 pt days ( inc. density)
• Surveillance interval– Monthly
• Location of use– Specific units (consider use for whole HCF)
C. Metrics:
Organism specific, devise associated associated incidence density :
Useful for assessing the burden of specific device associated infections.
3. Estimation of Infection Burden
3. Estimation of Infection Burden
c. Organism specific, devise associated incidence density • Type of microbiology data required
– Clinical culture data only
• Numerator– Number of devices associated MDRO infections
• Denominator– 1000 device days
• Surveillance interval– Monthly
• Location of use– Specific units (consider use for whole HCF).
D. Metrics:

• Denominator– 100 procedures
• Surveillance interval– Monthly (or quarterly)
• Location of use– Not applicable
4. Estimating Exposure BurdenA. Metrics:
Overall prevalence or prevalence density rate based on clinical culture data
Reasonable initial risk assessment, underestimates hidden reservoirs for MRSA, VRE & MDR GNB
4. Estimating Exposure Burden A. Overall prevalence or prevalence density rate based on
clinical culture data
• Type of microbiology data required– Clinical culture data only

culture data underestimates the full reservoir. * Could guide HCF when to start AST in select population
or units. * Very useful in defining high risk areas or population of an
HCF.
