Infections
• Common reason for presentation to ICU
• Community acquired - vs nosocomial - new infection acquired within hospital environment
• Treatment based on supportive therapy + antimicrobial therapy
• Multiple re-definitions of “Sepsis” to guide clinicians on severity of infection and predict mortality risk

Sepsis-3 Definitions
• Sepsis = life threatening organ dysfunction related to dysregulated response to infection
• Septic shock = subset of sepsis with circulatory or cellular dysfunction with higher predicted mortality

What to give?
• Choice of antimicrobials - determined by clinical scenario and most likely infecting pathogen
• Modification based on local anti-biogram
• eg multiple hospital admission + colonisation with resistant organisms warrants broader cover to account for this

Gram positive Cocci -clusters
• Staph aureus - MSSA or MRSA
• Still caries 20% mortality despite therapy
• Guidelines on duration of therapy; minimum 2 weeks of intravenous therapy +/- longer if deep seated infection
• Bone/joint = 4 weeks; Prosthetic material or endocarditis = 6 weeks IV; PO follow on may be required
• Staph aureus is never a contaminant unless determined by ID physician
• Better outcomes if infectious diseases specialist input for management

• Coagulase negative staph
• Staph lugdenensis - can behave like Staph aureus
• Staph epidermidis/Staph capitis/ Staph hominis
• Skin commensals - common contaminants of blood cultures
• Pathogenic in setting of prosthetic material or intravascular devices - especially if multiple positive cultures
• Usually methicillin resistant organism - Vancomycin

![Page 13: Meropenem for all?Gram positive Cocci - clusters • Staph aureus - MSSA or MRSA • Still caries 20% mortality despite therapy • Guidelines on duration of therapy; minimum 2 weeks](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022040215/5ed5790d2ef89866bc185a05/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Higher mortality associated with resistant gram negatives
• Driven by lack of available antibiotic therapy + increased likelihood of not receiving appropriate antibiotic therapy
• CRE infection carries 26-44% mortality (2014 meta-analysis)

Nosocomial Risks• ICU population at relative risk of nosocomial infection due to
use of invasive support devices and relative immunosuppression - more likely to have chronic illness
• Increased rates of resistant organisms
• Higher micro-organism selection pressure due to use of broad spectrum antibiotics
• More difficult to treat
• Associated with increased length of stay and higher morbidity and mortality

Catheter associated UTI
• Colonisation common
• Not always associated with severe infection
• Can be managed with IDC change if no associated signs or symptoms of infection
• Asymptomatic bacteruria common - does not warrant antimicrobial therapy

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
• Increased risk of development beyond 48h of invasive ventilation
