Link>>> Oral Antibiotics for Step-Down Therapy in Uncomplicated Gram-Negative Bacteremia: Join Dr. Jorns for this virtual home study presentation where she will review background information and current literature on step-down therapy to oral antibiotics in patients with gram-negative bacteremia. The presentation will begin by describing the epidemiology of and risk factors for gram-negative bacteremia. Next, common pathogens and principles of treatment will be reviewed, including several trials pertaining to seven versus fourteen days of antimicrobial therapy. Available literature pertaining to step-down in gram-negative bacteremia will be summarized followed by other pertinent retrospective case studies which include patients with bactermia due to a variety of sources. The presentation will then move into a review and analysis of a trial comparing fluoroquinolones to beta lactams as oral step-down agents as well as a large meta-analysis. The presentation will conclude with evaluation of how step-down to oral antibiotics fits into treatment algorithms for patients with gram-negative bacteremia.
