Globally, an overabundance of inappropriate antibiotic use in factories, farms,
improper use in people, and lack of consistent stewardship measures in health-systems
have compounded measures to address the rising bacterial resistance crisis. Multidrug-resistant
(MDR) gram-negative bacteria are particularly challenging for infectious diseases
professionals to address due to increased mechanisms to evade destruction and appearance
in the most vulnerable patients. Often emerging in the health-system setting, and
thus in the critically ill population, MDR gram-negative infections require immediate
attention. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declared carbapenem-resistant
Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) an urgent threat – an entire class of bacteria which
have developed multiple enzymes to circumvent destruction by carbapenems.
This activity will review the current epidemiological resistance patterns of MDR gram-negative
bacteria. Attendees will understand treatment strategies and patient selection criteria
for the management of MDR gram-negative infections, including newly approved therapies
and emerging treatment data. A discussion on incorporation of antimicrobial stewardship
with a special focus on preserving newer therapies will provide additional insight
into potential protocol development.
The target audience for this activity includes clinical pharmacists, community pharmacists, specialty pharmacists, and managed care professionals. At the completion of this activity, the participant will be better able to:

11:30 AM – 1:00 PM CE Activity
Pre-registration is encouraged, and will be used for planning purposes. Seating
will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. On-site registration will be
available, space permitting. Food and beverages are not provided at Midday Symposia.
