Applying Institutional Susceptibility Data in Treatment Decisions for HAP/VAP

Overview / Abstract:	Are you an infectious disease (ID) pharmacist? Want to learn more about hospital- and ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP/VAP) due to P. aeruginosa? This webcast is for you! Developed in collaboration with Making a Difference in Infectious Disease (MAD-ID), expert ID pharmacists Jim Lewis and Jason Pogue discuss the latest strategies to treat HAP/VAP and mitigate antibiotic resistance. This webcast features a patient case to help learners incorporate the latest antimicrobial therapy while optimizing long-term outcomes and resistance patterns for hospital- and ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP/VAP) due to P. aeruginosa. This activity is intended for pharmacists and infectious disease specialists who care for patients at risk of serious infection. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: • Demonstrate an understanding of the molecular epidemiology of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens • Summarize the salient features and critical differences between the antibiotics for use against Gram-negative pathogens • Describe strategies to optimize antimicrobial therapy to ensure effectiveness of antibiotics and reduce resistance
