The Genesis of Resistance Nevadans for Antibiotic Awareness (NAA) Action Items for You –At Work –At Home –In Your Community

The Gram Stain Gram Positive Gram Negative

1928: A Mold Changes Medicine Dr. Fleming’s discovery Penicillin inhibits bacterial enzymes necessary for cell wall production Mass production proves difficult

1944 Military takes penicillin to the battlefield 1945 Scientists Isolate Resistance

The Next 50 Years 1950’s By prescription only 1960 Methicillin introduced 1961 Methicillin resistance % of S. aureus resistant 2000 Linezolid introduced 2001 Linezolid resistance

How is Sensitivity or Resistance Determined? Disc diffusion: Zones of no growth around antibiotic

Factors of Resistance Prevalence of resistance genes Extent of Antibiotic use

Staphylococcus aureus If S. aureus is resistant to methicillin, it is commonly resistant to cephalosporins and imipenem Antibiotic of choice: vancomycin VISA also known as GISA

Antibiotic Resistant Infections Cause: Prolonged hospital stays Fewer therapeutic options Greater costs

Nevadans for Antibiotic Awareness (NAA) NAA is a statewide task force of over 30 state and local public and private agencies and companies committed to reducing the spread of antibiotic resistance.

NAA Subcommittees Infection Control Public Awareness Provider Education Surveillance Forming a new subcommittee: Veterinary and Agriculture

Abbott Laboratories, Inc. Albertsons Bristol-Myers Squibb Carson-Tahoe Hospital Clark County Health District CR BARD Medical, Inc. GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Health Plan of Nevada, Inc.

NAA Accomplishments Distributed healthcare guidelines Begun provider education Distributed materials to childcare centers Developed a statewide public education campaign Efforts/ contributions by members are voluntary.

Action Items for Work Provide home care sheet to patients with antibiotic resistant bacteria Always note antibiotic resistance on transfer forms

Action Items for Home Complete full course of antibiotics Don’t demand antibiotics for viral infections Wash your hands

Action Items for the Community Educate family and friends Support H.R. 1771: Antibiotic Resistance Prevention Act Buy antibiotic-free meat
