GUIDELINE
Antimicrobial exposure is associated with the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant organisms such as
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-Resistant enterococci (VRE) and multi-resistant
Gram negative bacteria. Furthermore, Clostridium difficile infections may also be caused through antibiotic
treatment. The existence of hypervirulent epidemic strains of C. difficile internationally further increases the
importance of reducing antimicrobial use.
3 levels of anti-infective restriction exist:
1. Unrestricted anti-infectives (‘Category A’)
2. Restricted anti-infectives with approved indications (‘Category B’)
3. Anti-infectives requiring Infectious Diseases Approval (‘Category C’)

Surgical prophylaxis
- Major surgical procedures in patients known to be colonised with MRSA. A

given
- Second line endocarditis prophylaxis for genitourinary or gastrointestinal
procedures in patients with major beta-lactam allergy (i.e. those who can
not receive amoxycillin as first line agent)
- Third line endocarditis prophylaxis for dental or upper respiratory tract
interventions in patients unable to take the second line agent oral
clindamycin (first line is amoxycillin)
- Treatment of Clostridium difficile colitis that fails to respond to
metronidazole
- Severe and potentially life threatening C. difficile colitis (Consult Infectious
Diseases). Usually given in combination with intravenous metronidazole.
Note: Adult and paediatric CF patients who receive an aminoglycoside are dosed at 6am daily and require dose
modification based on Area Under the Curve (AUC) pharmacokinetic evaluation. For patients being dose at JHH
please contact the Immunology and Infectious Diseases Pharmacist (page: 5705) or consult Infectious Diseases or
Respiratory Medicine.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Area Antimicrobial Working Party is responsible for overall implementation. This group has developed a
strategic plan for 2010. Support for stewardship activities at remote sites is a key objective.
At John Hunter Hospital, GUIDANCE Implementation Committee formed to oversee process of implementation
of GUIDANCE-DS which is an essential element of restricted anti-infective management
Intensive care antimicrobial liaison rounds (twice weekly at JHH, weekly at other sites) will continue across HNE
Health at all intensive care units.
Area Clinical Practice Guidelines and pathways for pneumonia, S. aureus bloodstream infection, aminoglycoside
usage and surgical prophylaxis provide support for implementation.
HAPS Microbiologists provide specific support for restricted anti-infective indications by selective (cascade)
antimicrobial susceptibility reporting and direct clinician discussion over particular cases.
Infectious Diseases consultants provide advice to clinicians consistent with these guidelines, supporting their
use.
Facility Managers and Pharmacists are to be provided with annotated quarterly facility antimicrobial usage
reports that support targeted engagement of clinical staff.
The Area Antibiotic Guideline lays down the expectations of clinicians to
- follow Therapeutic Guidelines: Antibiotic and Area CPGs
- follow criteria for early consultation with Infectious Diseases in specific cases
Educational efforts to JMOs (Orientation sessions by Pharmacy and ID), Specialists, VMOs and GPs (Infection
Matters Newsletter) will be completed.
EVALUATION PLAN
Antimicrobial usage monitoring via National Program occurs at all Acute Networks site. These data are subject to
review by Pharmacy and the Area Antimicrobial Working Party.
Drug Usage Evaluation surveys are done regularly at Acute Networks sites to identify opportunities for
improvement and provide specific feedback to prescribers.
GUIDANCE-DS at John Hunter (to be implemented on July 1st 2010) will provide for close analysis of restricted
anti-infective prescription and use with timely feedback to prescribers.
