Activity Description

Antibiotic resistance threatens to return us to the pre-antibiotic era. Several initiatives, including public-private partnerships and government incentives have resulted in a remarkable upturn of new antibiotic approved in the last 3 years. This activity will examine antibiotics approved during this period, their spectrum of activity, data supporting use and potential place in therapy as well as important new indications for some important antibiotics. In addition, the successful incentives leading to new antibiotics will be reviewed along with trial designs for antibiotics aimed at priority pathogens. Finally, a glimpse into antibiotics in phase 3 trials will provide a brief review of drugs by spectrum and indications under study.

Learning Objectives

The target audience for this activity includes pharmacists. At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

• Describe new antibiotics approved in 2018 and 2019, the indications they are approved for and the priority pathogens they target.
• Discuss the FDA definitions for evaluation of new antibiotics for SSTI, cUTI and cIAI.
• List important antibiotics in late stage development and their potential role if approved.
