00:00:18.489 --> 00:00:19.959
Callum, are you doing?
00:00:19.959 --> 00:00:21.879
Oh, is that what you're gonna wear to the episode?
00:00:22.570 --> 00:00:24.129
Oh, I don't like the look of that at all.
00:00:24.129 --> 00:00:26.140
I think you need to dress a little bit more snappier.
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.829
I think you need to be more focused on what you're going to aware,
00:00:32.211 --> 00:00:33.411
Who are you?
00:00:33.682 --> 00:00:35.661
and what a coincidence that is.
00:00:35.661 --> 00:00:37.221
'cause What are we talking about today, Callum?
00:00:38.061 --> 00:00:41.212
Well, we are going to access some learning.
00:00:41.551 --> 00:00:45.921
Unfortunately you can't watch this'cause it's an audio medium.
00:00:45.921 --> 00:00:46.762
But maybe you can
00:00:46.822 --> 00:00:48.262
it later, I suppose, and be
00:00:48.493 --> 00:00:48.733
Yeah,
00:00:49.314 --> 00:00:50.003
The content.
00:00:50.813 --> 00:00:53.664
Well, we're talking about the AWARE classification.
00:00:54.173 --> 00:01:03.173
That's A for access, W for watch, A for watch, R for reserve.
00:01:04.013 --> 00:01:06.263
Be a reserve Aware.
00:01:06.894 --> 00:01:07.524
Excellent.
00:01:07.539 --> 00:01:10.569
the A, the w and r are capitalized.
00:01:11.328 --> 00:01:12.668
And where did this come from, Carl?
00:01:13.358 --> 00:01:22.733
This came from the WHO, the World Health Organization, and there has been a UK version a ized version by the uk, HSA.
00:01:23.278 --> 00:01:23.668
fine.
00:01:24.037 --> 00:01:26.362
And any idea why they decided to do this?
00:01:26.621 --> 00:01:31.866
I, my understanding is that it is meant to improve stewardship efforts worldwide.
00:01:31.866 --> 00:01:36.576
So I guess with antibiotics we can say, oh, that's a broad spectrum antibiotic.
00:01:36.637 --> 00:01:38.167
Oh, that's a narrow spectrum antibiotic.
00:01:38.167 --> 00:01:38.976
Or you should use that one.
00:01:38.976 --> 00:01:43.006
Don't use meropenem use amoxicillin.
00:01:43.527 --> 00:01:47.186
But I guess from a data point of view, it could be quite hard to say.
00:01:47.771 --> 00:01:51.461
This antibiotic good, that antibiotic bad using this here.
00:01:51.461 --> 00:01:52.961
Good using this here bad.
00:01:53.621 --> 00:02:11.356
And so, the aware classification, I think is meant to provide some framework or measurable metric by which you can benchmark your country health board area, hospitals antimicrobial prescribing against some sort of standard.
00:02:11.921 --> 00:02:19.241
Yeah, and I think the WHO decided to do something about it when they got interested in antimicrobial resistance.
00:02:19.361 --> 00:02:25.852
And again, to give particularly low middle income countries, framework to work from.
00:02:26.325 --> 00:02:38.225
I think what happens a lot of the time is that the countries will adapt it to their local prescribing practices and the drugs that are available in their country, you know, including what the UK has done as well.
Load full transcript
00:02:39.116 --> 00:02:46.296
And I think it was first developed in 2017 by the WHO expert committee on the selection and use of essential medicines.
00:02:46.846 --> 00:02:49.986
And the intent to update it every two years.
00:02:50.046 --> 00:02:52.695
So it's something that's gonna continue to be useful, Which is great.
00:02:52.751 --> 00:02:53.141
Yeah.
00:02:53.171 --> 00:02:53.561
Yeah.
00:02:53.801 --> 00:03:01.850
And I don't know that the that every medicine that we are about to talk about is in the Poo Essentials medicines list, but most of them are if not all of them.
00:03:02.031 --> 00:03:04.671
So let's talk about what we mean by access Watson Reserve.
00:03:04.671 --> 00:03:05.181
So we've got these
00:03:05.201 --> 00:03:05.491
Okay.
00:03:06.201 --> 00:03:09.146
Usually people apply a traffic light coding.
00:03:09.366 --> 00:03:12.096
Let's talk about what they are.
00:03:12.146 --> 00:03:13.491
Cal, do you want to take access?
00:03:14.591 --> 00:03:18.941
Access is a green and they've got a little picture of a door because you can access the door.
00:03:19.481 --> 00:03:24.881
The antibiotics with narrow spectrum of activity are in here.
00:03:25.091 --> 00:03:29.681
Those with fewer side effects, lower potential to drive.
00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:38.951
Antimicrobial resistance and first or second choice, antibiotics which are recommended for empiric treatment of the most common infections.
00:03:39.176 --> 00:03:45.756
Yeah, and you could argue about that fewer side effects given that the UK has got Gentamycin in the access category.
00:03:45.756 --> 00:03:51.616
But,, the overall thing is that these are meant to be your workhorses, the things that you reach for in the first instance.
00:03:52.346 --> 00:03:53.336
And what about watch?
00:03:54.260 --> 00:03:57.191
What are our broader spectrum antibiotics?
00:03:57.421 --> 00:04:04.346
They generally have a higher resistance potential, and they are usually first or second choice.
00:04:04.346 --> 00:04:10.406
Antibiotics indicated for a limited number of infective syndromes and their use should be carefully monitored.
00:04:11.141 --> 00:04:12.671
And then I'll take reserve.
00:04:13.001 --> 00:04:13.811
The reserve ones
00:04:14.111 --> 00:04:15.971
You reserve the best for yourself.
00:04:16.105 --> 00:04:16.855
for the best for last.
00:04:16.855 --> 00:04:17.245
Exactly.
00:04:17.245 --> 00:04:17.875
Thank you, Callum.
00:04:18.245 --> 00:04:20.315
So these are the last resort antibiotics.
00:04:20.315 --> 00:04:27.725
I mean, this category might as well be called cool shit for infectious disease doctors and not for the likes of you, but reserve will do in a pinch.
00:04:28.156 --> 00:04:29.896
But these are the things that you.
00:04:30.331 --> 00:04:37.600
Want to hold back and not use in a broad manner, unless you absolutely have to.
00:04:37.901 --> 00:04:49.311
And particularly stuff that's really useful for MDR bacteria, be that hospital superbug, MRSA, or be it your MDR gram negatives or your difficult to treat pseudomonas, that kind of stuff.
00:04:49.790 --> 00:04:51.651
So access, watch and reserve.
00:04:52.290 --> 00:04:55.031
Think of like, as like a traffic light system.
00:04:56.261 --> 00:05:00.071
let's talk a little bit now about the who aware classification.
00:05:00.471 --> 00:05:01.730
So we've got a picture here.
00:05:01.730 --> 00:05:06.581
This really is an episode where I would advise going to the prep notes if you were sort of interested in this.
00:05:06.581 --> 00:05:16.600
'cause what I've done is I've divided all of the agents that are in the WHO system into Access, watch, reserve in three columns.
00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:17.951
And then the.
00:05:18.761 --> 00:05:22.870
In the rose, I've got all the cell wall agents grouped together.
00:05:22.870 --> 00:05:30.651
The protein synthesis agents grouped together all the anti folate and anti DNA agents, and then other is down at the bottom there.
00:05:31.245 --> 00:05:39.286
And those are the ones that don't fit into those categorizations of the broad types of mechanism of action.
00:05:39.901 --> 00:05:40.261
Yeah.
00:05:40.501 --> 00:05:45.531
I gotta say there's some in this this table that I'm, really never heard of before.
00:05:45.561 --> 00:05:53.311
And actually as well as that cal, there's tons of antibiotics, ones that I've never heard of and ones that I have and had basically forgotten existed.
00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:54.240
Didn't you find
00:05:54.446 --> 00:05:54.626
Yeah.
00:05:55.076 --> 00:06:07.735
And that it would be reassuring until you realize that most of'em are just me too drugs that are very similar to something that we use regularly, but just never really won that, won the popularity contest or things that, don't really have much clinical use.
00:06:07.735 --> 00:06:09.686
'cause there's something better and easier correlated.
00:06:10.141 --> 00:06:13.485
well, I guess that's the sort of argument forin isn't it?
00:06:13.485 --> 00:06:19.995
So like Tsar with cla acid is that Piptaz that same ecological niche.
00:06:20.751 --> 00:06:24.411
And maybe has slightly better pseudomonas cover, if I remember rightly so.
00:06:24.411 --> 00:06:30.771
There was no situation in which you would want to use to mention that you couldn't just use peptides if you needed
00:06:30.886 --> 00:06:31.175
Yeah.
00:06:31.191 --> 00:06:31.581
kind of thing.
00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:31.920
Yeah.
00:06:31.971 --> 00:06:32.300
Yeah.
00:06:32.961 --> 00:06:37.230
Is there anything in this table that we want to, highlight?
00:06:39.050 --> 00:06:39.831
There's a typo.
00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:42.355
You've written Piperacillin slash Tazo Act
00:06:44.511 --> 00:06:46.191
Son of a bitch.
00:06:46.641 --> 00:06:48.110
I'm gonna have to redo that.
00:06:49.071 --> 00:06:50.031
thanks for nothing, Callum.
00:06:50.031 --> 00:06:52.221
You did wanna point that out before we started recording.
00:06:53.391 --> 00:06:53.990
Awful.
00:06:55.011
--> 00:06:55.490
Awful.
00:06:55.490 --> 00:06:56.540
You're such a bad egg.
00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:57.170
Callum much.
00:06:57.170 --> 00:06:57.261
You're
00:06:57.501 --> 00:07:09.341
I think it would be useful to point out that it's quite a useful way to look at antibiotics and think about antibiotics in part of our continuing thinking about antibiotic series.
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.631
'Cause some, someone, as I said before, an ward asked me recently, how would you learn antibiotics?
00:07:14.930 --> 00:07:18.901
So I still puzzle on that question quite a lot actually.
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:19.370
And.
00:07:19.461 --> 00:07:24.170
the website, learn antibiotics.com and the associated book could be a first starting place for the,
00:07:24.221 --> 00:07:25.605
is quite a good use useful thing.
00:07:25.735 --> 00:07:27.386
But we have to answer that question.
00:07:27.626 --> 00:07:28.735
Learn antibiotics com.
00:07:28.735 --> 00:07:28.975
They can.
00:07:29.126 --> 00:07:31.735
why am I advertising on behalf of other educators?
00:07:32.216 --> 00:07:43.466
So maybe now, dear listeners, Wafa, just delving into some examples of access watch and reserve and why certain things are certain columns or thoughts on them.
00:07:44.865 --> 00:07:46.221
So maybe we could just start with access.
00:07:46.605 --> 00:07:47.026
Yeah.
00:07:47.055 --> 00:07:47.415
Okay.
00:07:47.475 --> 00:07:53.716
So for access, starting with the cell wall agents, we've got most of the narrow spectrum, penicillin.
00:07:53.716 --> 00:08:00.706
So amoxicillin, ampicillin, all the benzo, penicillin variants, you know, including zaine and protein penicillin.
00:08:02.266 --> 00:08:05.295
and then you've also got flu clocks.
00:08:05.506 --> 00:08:09.225
Omo CL is in here, which is interesting because it's watch in the UK system as we'll.
00:08:09.225 --> 00:08:11.596
Come onto, there's a bunch of interesting differences really.
00:08:12.675 --> 00:08:13.906
and then we've
00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:16.680
So there's, just to clarify, this is the who system of the fucking money?
00:08:16.816 --> 00:08:17.175
we're talking
00:08:17.311 --> 00:08:17.581
Yeah.
00:08:17.805 --> 00:08:20.206
and then we've got a load of penicillins here.
00:08:20.206 --> 00:08:25.786
And Callum, I think we, if we're going have any one, Callum and Jane read the alternate names out.
00:08:25.786 --> 00:08:27.286
It'll have to be the penicillins here.
00:08:27.286 --> 00:08:27.706
So what do you
00:08:27.781 --> 00:08:27.821
Oh God.
00:08:28.096 --> 00:08:28.725
What do you say?
00:08:29.836 --> 00:08:34.175
I almost prefer the cephalosporins because it's the controversial thing, but okay.
00:08:34.175 --> 00:08:35.405
We'll do the penicillins for once.
00:08:35.953 --> 00:08:36.553
Azi Doin.
00:08:36.603 --> 00:08:36.833
Ba Bain
00:08:37.994 --> 00:08:38.853
Clo Soin
00:08:39.055 --> 00:08:39.456
Oxacillin.
00:08:39.675 --> 00:08:40.365
Diox Sill.
00:08:42.390 --> 00:08:42.680
Hein
00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:43.640
Max.
00:08:45.230 --> 00:08:46.280
Oh, that makes more sense.
00:08:46.400 --> 00:08:46.520
Mac,
00:08:47.591 --> 00:08:48.280
Methicillin.
00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:48.850
Methicillin
00:08:49.650 --> 00:08:49.941
Nain.
00:08:50.755 --> 00:08:50.916
IC
00:08:52.201 --> 00:08:52.870
Penicillin.
00:08:52.870 --> 00:08:53.711
p Vanillin.
00:08:54.097 --> 00:08:54.447
Proin.
00:08:56.878 --> 00:08:58.108
Ampicillin, Alam.
00:08:58.450 --> 00:08:59.710
Salt of missin,
00:08:59.815 --> 00:09:00.595
cell bactam.
00:09:00.595 --> 00:09:01.600
salt of sun.
00:09:01.810 --> 00:09:06.169
see I wonder if there's a bunch of those that the listener has just like never heard of.
00:09:06.230 --> 00:09:11.009
I'd never heard of a bunch of them as well, and I wonder how many are actually in clinical practice.
00:09:11.009 --> 00:09:17.379
But the WHO have clearly kinda felt that it would be best overall if you include them all
00:09:17.690 --> 00:09:18.289
I, I love this.
00:09:18.389 --> 00:09:18.720
them all.
00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:19.049
Yeah.
00:09:19.305 --> 00:09:23.355
I think it's just like we are gonna, every antibiotic there is, we're gonna categorize it.
00:09:23.355 --> 00:09:25.144
So there's no doubt you're not gonna be like,
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:26.570
Oh, I wonder
00:09:26.585 --> 00:09:27.034
you know, just
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:27.259
Yeah,
00:09:27.424 --> 00:09:28.085
very comprehensive.
00:09:28.085 --> 00:09:30.875
I think it was quite a fun job to have come up with this.
00:09:30.875 --> 00:09:32.644
I bet this took bloody ages.
00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:35.930
I think this should be your career aim James is to get onto this committee.
00:09:36.034 --> 00:09:36.335
only.
00:09:36.335 --> 00:09:38.524
And then just tell everybody to use Korum all the time.
00:09:38.524 --> 00:09:40.534
Yeah, I mean, it's a work in progress, isn't it, Kyle?
00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:45.980
So, the other thing that's Anxi for cell wall is the first generation ke sporin.
00:09:46.341 --> 00:09:50.846
So we've got our Keflex in Keel and Zolin.
00:09:51.076 --> 00:09:52.245
And Ketin.
00:09:52.245 --> 00:09:54.916
And Kerine, which I think are much less commonly used.
00:09:54.916 --> 00:09:55.966
I mean, I've never used anything.
00:09:55.966 --> 00:09:57.946
It's, except in Keflex and Zolin.
00:09:58.826 --> 00:10:04.600
And then you've got other more small fry calfs that are in the the table that we won't go on.
00:10:04.650 --> 00:10:08.010
I think one alternate reading is just about as much as the listener can tolerate.
00:10:08.721 --> 00:10:10.461
Someone asked me recently, why did we do that?
00:10:10.821 --> 00:10:11.661
There's no reason.
00:10:11.841 --> 00:10:14.480
what, why do we, why are we doing this at all?
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.681
Why are we doing anything and not to vaguely entertain ourselves and vaguely educate the listeners.
00:10:18.681 --> 00:10:19.041
I mean,
00:10:19.091 --> 00:10:23.275
i'm sure people learned a lot
from that list of mispronounced antibiotics.
00:10:23.316 --> 00:10:24.395
Well, exactly, yes.
00:10:24.395 --> 00:10:24.666
I mean,
00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:24.890
Yeah,
00:10:25.056 --> 00:10:27.755
be properly pronounced if you had bothered in the first place too.
00:10:27.806 --> 00:10:29.635
Actually, well, I wouldn't insult you anymore
00:10:29.801 --> 00:10:32.650
go to antibiotic pronunciation school like I should have done you
00:10:32.725 --> 00:10:34.796
Well, maybe that's the next website that I'll set up.
00:10:34.796 --> 00:10:37.816
And then you can be the only person who subscribes to the to the site.
00:10:38.490 --> 00:10:39.900
voiceovers record.
00:10:40.230 --> 00:10:44.306
I was recording an increasingly fixed Scottish accent, so people are like.
00:10:46.380 --> 00:10:49.036
I know sometimes people, they're like, oh you pronounce it wrong.
00:10:49.066 --> 00:10:50.056
You pronounce it wrong.
00:10:50.056 --> 00:10:52.566
We're the ones speaking the queen's English over here.
00:10:53.926 --> 00:10:54.225
Okay.
00:10:54.225 --> 00:10:55.336
Into protein synthesis.
00:10:55.336 --> 00:10:58.036
We've got doxycycline and tetracycline.
00:10:58.485 --> 00:11:00.105
And then what about the Amide Cow?
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.885
So we've got Gentamycin, spect, mycin, and Amikacin.
00:11:05.096 --> 00:11:05.365
Yeah.
00:11:05.365 --> 00:11:07.375
Again, never used my life.
00:11:07.735 --> 00:11:12.196
And then in the other category, I guess you've got Chloramphenicol, Thiam, phenic.
00:11:12.196 --> 00:11:12.615
Which one?
00:11:12.615 --> 00:11:14.836
Presumes is a Amphenol.
00:11:14.836 --> 00:11:17.265
Like Chloramphenicol and Clindamycin.
00:11:17.745 --> 00:11:18.015
Yeah.
00:11:18.291 --> 00:11:18.510
No.
00:11:18.645 --> 00:11:21.406
So Clindamycin separated out from the rest of the macrolides there?
00:11:21.620 --> 00:11:23.620
Interesting that Clindamycin gets into access.
00:11:24.346 --> 00:11:30.406
I think maybe because it's used broadly elsewhere for skin and soft tissue.
00:11:30.436 --> 00:11:31.066
I can't think what
00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:31.390
Yeah.
00:11:31.426 --> 00:11:32.145
be used for really.
00:11:32.735 --> 00:11:36.725
Has it maybe got less of a propensity to develop resistance?
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:37.730
I
00:11:37.774 --> 00:11:38.674
know, IMY,
00:11:38.750 --> 00:11:39.049
heard of,
00:11:39.185 --> 00:11:43.105
there's some data about macrolides and, microbiome tosses a T, but
00:11:43.180 --> 00:11:43.419
but
00:11:43.419 --> 00:11:43.779
I don't know.
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:44.470
I don't know.
00:11:44.544 --> 00:11:46.615
pretty microbiome toxicity
00:11:46.750 --> 00:11:47.320
that's true.
00:11:47.325 --> 00:11:47.705
It's true.
00:11:47.815 --> 00:11:49.825
the resistance profiles even the same.
00:11:49.825 --> 00:11:51.504
It's the ml SB phenotype, isn't it?
00:11:51.504 --> 00:11:56.029
That point mutation that sort of knocks out micro micronized, linco of mine and strep garmins.
00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:57.190
Yeah.
00:11:57.310 --> 00:11:58.930
So, yeah, I don't know.
00:11:58.930 --> 00:12:01.740
But anyway, somebody thought it was worth putting in access, and so they did.
00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:05.680
And then Cal, we've got our DNA and folate inhibitors.
00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:09.399
Now all of the quinolones are in watch.
00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:14.279
So the access ones, the ones that you will have heard of are Trimethoprim and Cotrimoxazole.
00:12:14.470 --> 00:12:19.730
And the ones that you wouldn't have heard of are all these other sulfur sulfonamides.
00:12:21.110 --> 00:12:26.409
And Smide combinations, almost all of which are combined with trimethoprim.
00:12:26.409 --> 00:12:29.205
So like Sulfadiazine, trimethoprim, sulfa.
00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:32.649
some of them are recognized, some from like HIV medicine, but not many of them.
00:12:32.810 --> 00:12:36.840
Well, some of them are used for what's the one that is Sulfur Paridine.
00:12:37.710 --> 00:12:39.149
that's still sort of used.
00:12:39.810 --> 00:12:41.909
And sulfadiazine and stuff like that.
00:12:41.909 --> 00:12:42.029
I
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:42.740
so basically.
00:12:42.870 --> 00:12:43.379
of the rest.
00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:53.639
But all these other sulfa drugs, like a bunch of them are with RI except for Sulfadiazine with Tero Prim, which I've also never heard of.
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.200
That's you listening to two idiots.
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.100
You haven't heard of things.
00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:57.565
I know our recurring theme in this.
00:12:57.685 --> 00:13:03.685
and then the access other a, the other mechanism actions in the access group.
00:13:04.174 --> 00:13:07.455
So we've got our trust, old friend ol we've got OL
00:13:08.174 --> 00:13:08.475
Yeah.
00:13:08.504 --> 00:13:08.745
It's
00:13:08.774 --> 00:13:10.034
and Nitro and.
00:13:10.365 --> 00:13:12.284
Which I think are the three that you'll actually have heard of.
00:13:12.330 --> 00:13:12.450
the
00:13:12.555 --> 00:13:18.134
So if you capitalize the ones that people have heard of and you left in lower case, the ones that we probably don't know about.
00:13:18.365 --> 00:13:18.815
Yes.
00:13:18.865 --> 00:13:22.585
And the ones that are in bold are the ones that aren't in the KHS.
00:13:23.725 --> 00:13:25.164
Oh, right.
00:13:25.164 --> 00:13:29.725
Would, wouldn't you make more sense to bold the ones that are in the uk, HS say, and Non bold to the other ones?
00:13:30.605 --> 00:13:32.524
Just full of little comments today, aren't you?
00:13:33.457 --> 00:13:34.447
Moving on.
00:13:34.697 --> 00:13:36.052
That makes so much more sense.
00:13:36.398 --> 00:13:38.077
You make so much more sense.
00:13:38.722 --> 00:13:39.052
Thank you.
00:13:39.562 --> 00:13:43.793
So let's move on to watch, so we're starting with cell inhibitors, so we've
00:13:47.138 --> 00:13:52.118
Pip and Timo, and then a bunch of other stuff that again, you've, you might not have heard
of
00:13:52.432 --> 00:13:52.733
Yeah
00:13:52.733 --> 00:13:52.972
there,
00:13:53.557 --> 00:13:54.067
that's our Pen.
00:13:54.202 --> 00:13:54.508
you've got.
00:13:56.168 --> 00:14:03.143
Kelo and Kol Ketin and Kevar ine, which are all called second generation ke SSPORs.
00:14:03.143 --> 00:14:07.702
Even though Kein is a kef M and not a ke sporin technically.
00:14:07.702 --> 00:14:08.423
But anyway, I know what
00:14:08.543 --> 00:14:09.358
That nobody cares though.
00:14:09.592 --> 00:14:09.983
of other ones.
00:14:09.983 --> 00:14:13.013
Yeah, I know, but I kind of care, but I know I shouldn't.
00:14:13.133 --> 00:14:13.702
But anyway.
00:14:14.423 --> 00:14:18.258
then the third gens, Arex, CFET, taxine, Ceftin, ceftriaxone.
00:14:19.048 --> 00:14:20.488
then a bunch of other ones you've never heard of.
00:14:20.967 --> 00:14:25.618
And then your fourth gens are kepe and then three others that you never heard
00:14:25.643 --> 00:14:29.572
Yeah, interesting here that Keine is in your watch rather than your reserve.
00:14:29.638 --> 00:14:43.618
Well, if you think that's odd, then you're going to absolutely blow your head off at the next classification because all of the carbapenems, the oral agents like Bapen and Pippen and Teop, penem are in the watch category.
00:14:43.618 --> 00:14:44.038
Yeah.
00:14:44.278 --> 00:14:44.457
Yeah.
00:14:44.457 --> 00:14:45.628
That's interesting.
00:14:45.837 --> 00:14:47.518
That set the cat amongst the pigeons.
00:14:47.543 --> 00:14:47.903
Callum,
00:14:48.898 --> 00:14:49.108
Yeah.
00:14:49.108 --> 00:14:56.077
I think, obviously we're fortunate to work in a country where we have, lower level problems with gram-negative resistance.
00:14:56.077 --> 00:15:02.847
Like we still get carbos producing intra like everybody else does, but it's still thankfully quite rare.
00:15:03.057 --> 00:15:08.608
Whereas ESBLs are about 30% of the gram negative workload in places like a Italy and gre.
00:15:08.923 --> 00:15:16.173
If you're working somewhere like South Africa, like Ben listening to her talk about it on micro bale, which is excellent, then, you just see that's so different.
00:15:16.173 --> 00:15:24.123
So I guess if you're gonna be like, oh, don't use these carpen, which are the only drugs that you have that will treat these infections, I think that might be a bit unfair.
00:15:24.177 --> 00:15:24.258
and
00:15:24.423 --> 00:15:24.842
From who?
00:15:24.858 --> 00:15:34.937
as Julie and Aaron on a recent episode from the Break Points podcast, the break points breakout said, if you're not gonna use a carbapenem for ESBL, what are you holding them back for?
00:15:35.238 --> 00:15:35.528
Yeah.
00:15:35.567 --> 00:15:35.778
I mean?
00:15:35.778 --> 00:15:36.947
Like they're the first line
00:15:37.398 --> 00:15:37.967
They are great.
00:15:37.967 --> 00:15:40.288
So I can kind, I can get on board of that.
00:15:40.467 --> 00:15:45.567
And I guess kp I guess in the same sense is probably like similar use cases, isn't it?
00:15:45.567 --> 00:15:45.868
So,
00:15:45.868 --> 00:15:46.408
I think so.
00:15:46.457 --> 00:15:48.108
It's still active against, you know,
00:15:48.108 --> 00:15:48.528
yeah.
00:15:48.827 --> 00:15:50.347
and ESBLs as well, I think.
00:15:50.587 --> 00:15:50.858
Yeah.
00:15:51.097 --> 00:15:51.488
So, yeah.
00:15:51.668 --> 00:15:53.378
Another cell will active thing.
00:15:53.378 --> 00:15:55.418
So we're get starting to get the glycopeptides coming in.
00:15:55.418 --> 00:16:02.528
So our vancomycin and Tyco plan in are watch antibiotics and then protein synthesis.
00:16:02.888 --> 00:16:04.028
Watch antibiotics.
00:16:04.478 --> 00:16:09.118
Yeah, you've got your tetracycline, so Cylin, oxytetracycline, and.
00:16:09.883 --> 00:16:17.233
The first of quite an annoying theme here, oral, but not IV minocyline because oral minocycline is watch and IV is reserve.
00:16:17.712 --> 00:16:21.462
I'm not really sure how it's managed to straddle both sides of the categorization here.
00:16:22.253 --> 00:16:28.513
And then for the amano, glycosides, neomycin and Tobramycin are there but not Amikacin.
00:16:28.513 --> 00:16:29.692
Amikacin is access, as we've said
00:16:29.812 --> 00:16:31.582
So we reserve tobramycin.
00:16:31.582 --> 00:16:39.293
Is that just'cause we're wanting to, I mean, so that's, we're watching tobramycin use because higher side effect.
00:16:39.383 --> 00:16:42.653
think it's because it's the prime anti pseudomonal aminoglycoside,
00:16:42.863 --> 00:16:43.253
Right?
00:16:43.253 --> 00:16:43.493
So that.
00:16:43.552 --> 00:16:46.733
areas would want to try and reserve that.
00:16:47.148 --> 00:16:56.288
So there's a bit of a talk about like the Scottish Am OG Glycoside and if the recent changes to UCAS break points, you know, should we move away from Gentamicin as the backbone?
00:16:56.707 --> 00:17:02.768
Because people are concerned about the way that the break points are set now, and we're still relying on systemic infection, essentially
00:17:02.903 --> 00:17:03.233
Yeah.
00:17:03.817 --> 00:17:06.038
And we're getting around that by core, giving it amoxicillin.
00:17:06.038 --> 00:17:08.762
But the discussion is moving to tobramycin.
00:17:09.377 --> 00:17:15.798
Backbone, but that's not so appealing if you're then being judged on these standards saying that should be watched.
00:17:15.897 --> 00:17:16.437
Yeah.
00:17:16.567 --> 00:17:20.853
I suppose, I mean, you would have to try and move it into access if you were wanting to, because
00:17:20.923 --> 00:17:21.212
Yeah.
00:17:21.393 --> 00:17:24.512
of a Mogen plus minus me is that it's an all access regimen.
00:17:25.492 --> 00:17:34.242
Whereas you would be losing that with that, I mean, whether you want that the aware to wag the antimicrobial stewardship dog is a topic for another time.
00:17:35.143 --> 00:17:37.813
And then fed dexamycin protein synthesis inhibitor.
00:17:37.893 --> 00:17:41.593
So in, in watch where's oral van?
00:17:41.742 -->
00:17:43.212
Is that just in watch as well then?
00:17:43.948 --> 00:17:44.577
Vancomycins Vancomycin.
00:17:44.833 --> 00:17:45.103
Okay.
00:17:45.553 --> 00:17:47.833
So both for c diff drugs, so no difference.
00:17:47.952 --> 00:17:50.053
So use more CIN probably.
00:17:50.593 --> 00:17:50.833
And then
00:17:50.877 --> 00:17:51.627
got the
00:17:51.748 --> 00:17:51.928
PRIs.
00:17:51.928 --> 00:17:52.317
Mycin.
00:17:52.573 --> 00:17:53.442
Cincin.
00:17:54.147 --> 00:17:54.988
Yeah, which is
00:17:55.798 --> 00:17:55.948
And
00:17:56.097 --> 00:17:56.548
useful.
00:17:56.698 --> 00:17:59.968
got clindamycin dad vancomycin in there.
00:17:59.968 --> 00:18:01.518
And then the macrolides.
00:18:01.518 --> 00:18:02.897
All of the macrolides are there.
00:18:03.043 --> 00:18:05.208
Azithro, Clari area through and a bunch of others.
00:18:05.657 --> 00:18:06.137
And then the
00:18:06.212 --> 00:18:06.373
Yeah.
00:18:06.857 --> 00:18:11.573
again, all the ones that you've heard of and a bunch of others that you haven't are in the watch category.
00:18:11.623 --> 00:18:14.442
And then down at the bottom you've got fused date.
00:18:15.218 --> 00:18:25.928
Oral Phosphomycin, but not iv and then rifampicin and cousins and something called ol, which I did look up what that was, but have since forgotten what it's
00:18:27.193 --> 00:18:27.346
Yeah.
00:18:27.376 --> 00:18:30.076
then the reserve category, let's just run through this quickly.
00:18:30.176 --> 00:18:34.646
You've got your weird kelo sporin beta activase inhibitor combinations.
00:18:34.646 --> 00:18:36.807
Your Keda calls your Keef as avie.
00:18:37.116 --> 00:18:48.926
The anti MRSA Kelo Sporin Keef Bypro are here, Keef in Tazo, and then your carbapenem combination with betalactamase inhibitors.
00:18:48.987 --> 00:18:50.307
This is where they are.
00:18:50.707 --> 00:18:54.102
So Ira l Mein and vaborbactam as Trina.
00:18:55.106 --> 00:18:57.926
Is here, whether or not it is included with avibactam.
00:18:57.926 --> 00:18:58.227
Yeah.
00:18:58.672 --> 00:18:58.892
Oh
00:18:59.067 --> 00:19:03.626
cousin Karu mon, which is not commercially available yet.
00:19:04.106 --> 00:19:08.787
And then farro, another carbapenem, agent.
00:19:08.817 --> 00:19:11.987
I dunno why this is here, but all the other oral agents are there as well.
00:19:11.987 --> 00:19:13.307
Maybe it ist oral actually.
00:19:13.977 --> 00:19:16.932
And then your long-acting glycopeptides DBA Van
00:19:17.027 --> 00:19:17.317
yeah.
00:19:17.322 --> 00:19:17.382
Yeah
00:19:18.442 --> 00:19:18.892
are there.
00:19:19.342 --> 00:19:19.836
that makes sense to me.
00:19:19.852 --> 00:19:22.102
And then Cal protein synthesis blockers.
00:19:22.251 --> 00:19:28.247
Yeah, we've got a raic, anti Tline and IV minocycline, and then Minocyline.
00:19:28.342 --> 00:19:33.642
And we did that episode before on the weird tetracyclines, if you wanna go back and look into that.
00:19:33.971 --> 00:19:34.122
Yeah.
00:19:34.616 --> 00:19:36.477
And then what else have we got?
00:19:37.146 --> 00:19:39.692
Pla mycin, the tragedy of plasma mycin.
00:19:39.751 --> 00:19:41.711
It's stuck in reserve.
00:19:41.922 --> 00:19:46.602
but that will be useful for the American to have access to it and I Absolutely, no one else nails anything else.
00:19:47.497 --> 00:19:51.435
We've got our old favorite EZ and ez, oh God,
00:19:51.435 --> 00:19:53.506
Teli, what is with you this evening?
00:19:53.962 --> 00:19:54.163
EZ.
00:19:54.712 --> 00:19:55.883
and mispronunciation.
00:19:55.883 --> 00:19:58.022
That's me, my Jim son.
00:19:58.133 --> 00:19:58.823
That will be on your
00:19:59.232 --> 00:19:59.893
And then left.
00:20:00.002 --> 00:20:00.893
Left a mullen.
00:20:01.133 --> 00:20:02.272
Lefamulin, the plural.
00:20:02.272 --> 00:20:02.633
Mutual.
00:20:02.793 --> 00:20:06.452
So reserve just so that absolutely nobody will ever use it.
00:20:06.502 --> 00:20:08.153
For pneumonia, which is license
00:20:08.587 --> 00:20:14.288
Yeah, I also Quin Newry and DFO PRIs in combination, which is interesting that's in reserve.
00:20:14.288 --> 00:20:18.472
But Pristine and Mycin is watch, but we shouldn't say anything more about that'cause they're both very small print.
00:20:18.583 --> 00:20:21.323
know probably'cause Cincin oral maybe.
00:20:21.323 --> 00:20:30.403
And then in the other category you've got Colistin and Polyon, B iv, phosphomycin Daptomycin, and ILO Prim, which is a Trimethoprim cousin
00:20:31.127 --> 00:20:32.478
Daptomycin is in reserve.
00:20:32.803 --> 00:20:33.133
I know.
00:20:34.347 --> 00:20:41.238
'Cause I'm just thinking about our local practice and there's some bits here that I'd missed the fact that Dapto was in reserve.
00:20:41.698 --> 00:20:49.188
It is interesting and I also think that we use a lot of esli and I often think I feel like we should be holding this back more.
00:20:49.188 --> 00:20:51.468
Like it is quite, quite an appealing choice.
00:20:51.468 --> 00:20:53.418
It's highly bi available, it's very effective.
00:20:53.418 --> 00:20:56.238
Don't need to worry about resistance done esli.
00:20:56.268 --> 00:20:59.907
And I do sometimes think actually, are we being bad stewards in the department?
00:20:59.907 --> 00:21:08.367
I'm saying we I don't know if that's me, but there's a lot of getting prescribed and I sometimes think like, why didn't you know, you could have used a different antibiotic here.
00:21:09.208 --> 00:21:10.738
Yes, that's true.
00:21:10.887 --> 00:21:21.992
But I also think that might be you know when you buy a brand of car and then you start seeing that everywhere on the roads, I think that you are seeing a lot of SLI use because the patients who need lint are concentrated.
00:21:22.367 --> 00:21:23.837
Into your clinical
00:21:23.918 --> 00:21:24.968
Yeah, that might be true.
00:21:25.788 --> 00:21:26.807
And I mean, you're right.
00:21:26.807 --> 00:21:32.748
When people are using SLI and they shouldn't be, very
frustrating.
00:21:32.958 --> 00:21:33.198
But I
00:21:33.423 --> 00:21:34.262
I think also people,
00:21:34.458 --> 00:21:39.407
of the, if you look at a lot of those cases, a lot of those SLI may well be the best agent to use,
00:21:39.423 --> 00:21:42.803
also it seems like people have, faith in Neli.
00:21:42.962 --> 00:21:47.718
So what I've seen is people have, well, a lower threshold at which to I ost.
00:21:48.387 --> 00:21:52.607
There's iVOS to Esli compared to something else like Coum, doxy,
00:21:52.607 --> 00:21:52.998
Yeah.
00:21:53.147 --> 00:22:01.873
So they'll all switch earlier, so then you're like, oh, well I'm not really sure we should be using Esli here, but I'm also happy that we've oral switched, so that's fine.
00:22:02.057 --> 00:22:02.327
Yeah.
00:22:02.327 --> 00:22:06.668
It's kind of hard, but I think that just to talk about it for a sec.
00:22:06.911 --> 00:22:16.364
If you have a bunch of options that you're going to use for say a staph or is Breia, and I'm thinking particularly of your saboto, low risk sap, which is something of a unicorn.
00:22:16.364 --> 00:22:24.564
But actually we've had a couple recently and we've had the options, you know, clinda, Cori or Esli, and I've gone.
00:22:25.193 --> 00:22:27.594
Pretty much invariably for Cotrimoxazole.
00:22:27.683 --> 00:22:29.993
'cause I think it's the best tolerated of the three.
00:22:30.574 --> 00:22:37.604
In older people, certainly in, in younger people, you might argue that Clindamycin is the is the better agent, but I'm worried about the c diff risk.
00:22:37.604 --> 00:22:37.903
Right?
00:22:38.173 --> 00:22:39.824
And it happens to be the access.
00:22:40.229 --> 00:22:41.038
Antibiotic.
00:22:41.038 --> 00:22:49.318
And so I'm just using that and that's, you know, partially my extrapolating from Saboto and other trials, but it's also just my familiarity with the drug.
00:22:49.838 --> 00:22:55.538
You know me calm, I'm throwing it at everything with a pulse and some things without, and other peoples will feel that way about Lali.
00:22:56.913 --> 00:23:04.433
Yeah, so we've spent a long time there talking through the who, So, you know, I guess this is a really comprehensive resource.
00:23:04.463 --> 00:23:09.233
It's got all the antibiotics much more extensive than the UK version.
00:23:09.683 --> 00:23:11.364
It excludes anti TB drugs.
00:23:11.673 --> 00:23:14.193
I think we discussed some of the interesting points as we went through there.
00:23:14.344 --> 00:23:15.993
So, as I say, look at the notes.
00:23:16.054 --> 00:23:16.864
It's color coded.
00:23:16.894 --> 00:23:19.774
It's quite easy to read, and the type will be fixed.
00:23:20.868 --> 00:23:26.578
If I can remember it's in this table as well, because now I'm looking at the KHSA.
00:23:26.578 --> 00:23:35.469
So what, what happened was the KHSA looked at that big list as it came out in 2017 and said there's no way we're gonna be able to use all this stuff.
00:23:35.469 --> 00:23:40.888
Like, it's got like a bunch of macrolides and tetracyclines and.
00:23:41.983 --> 00:23:44.683
Quin loans that we just the UK just doesn't have a license for.
00:23:44.683 --> 00:23:47.294
The UK has only got a license for about 60 different drugs.
00:23:48.344 --> 00:23:54.074
So we're going to take that, we're gonna strip it down and we're going to shift some stuff about that.
00:23:54.124 --> 00:23:56.884
It makes more sense for UK practice, so they.
00:23:57.588 --> 00:24:01.169
Moved for example, the carbapenems into reserve.
00:24:01.219 --> 00:24:12.469
We are in a low ESBL prevalence country, and so it doesn't make sense to use them in a way that you would if they were watch antimicrobials and some other stuff.
00:24:12.499 --> 00:24:24.409
Controversially really got shifted up from access into what, so the first generation ke sporin got moved into watch the Sporin were purported to have a moderate to high c diff risk.
00:24:24.824 --> 00:24:29.233
Which is true of the higher generation Kelos borns, but not the first gens.
00:24:29.233 --> 00:24:32.584
They're more similar to like, amoxicillin or kind of flu CLOs.
00:24:32.584 --> 00:24:37.233
And so this was kind of pointed out to the UK HSA by numerous physicians.
00:24:37.233 --> 00:24:48.124
And so when they revised the list and published it in 2025, they did a few moves and one of the things that they did was they downshifted the first chain so that we can now use
00:24:48.124 --> 00:24:48.394
Yeah.
00:24:48.884 --> 00:24:49.753
And thank God they do
00:24:49.874 --> 00:24:50.503
Alice Snap.
00:24:50.564 --> 00:24:50.923
Yeah.
00:24:50.983 --> 00:24:59.534
imagine post snapp, if everybody moves to using Zolin for your staph oriented breia and it's watch, that's gonna really mess up your statistics.
00:24:59.584 --> 00:25:01.939
So the list that we've got here is much smaller.
00:25:01.939 --> 00:25:04.159
I don't know if we really want to go through it in
00:25:04.209 --> 00:25:05.769
No, I don't think we need to go for, in detail.
00:25:05.888 --> 00:25:13.989
I think what's really important and really interesting is thinking about the differences between the who's one and K HSA one.
00:25:14.318 --> 00:25:16.794
If only someone would summarize the differences between the two.
00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:22.479
Well, if you would hold your tongue for just a little second, I would be able to tell you to scroll down and see that I.
00:25:23.919 --> 00:25:25.628
Yes, I know I was setting you up.
00:25:25.929 --> 00:25:26.259
I know.
00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:28.808
But I wasn't gonna pass up an opportunity to insult you.
00:25:29.499 --> 00:25:29.828
Oh, wow.
00:25:30.128 --> 00:25:30.699
there's a couple of
00:25:30.814 --> 00:25:31.233
Failed.
00:25:31.269 --> 00:25:31.749
differences.
00:25:31.749 --> 00:25:39.669
One is that the TB meds are included, so your anti-TB medications, but they're all in the other category, which is much bigger.
00:25:39.999 --> 00:25:42.759
They're so a bunch of
stock got moved into the other category.
00:25:42.868 --> 00:25:46.259
So they're not access watch reserve, that is things like.
00:25:47.114 --> 00:25:52.003
Things that I think they are trying to say, look, you don't really need to use any of this stuff.
00:25:52.003 --> 00:25:56.294
So like SPECT Mycin was moved over there, IV streptomycin was moved over there.
00:25:56.638 --> 00:26:02.024
Eclo Cyclin, which is the tetracycline that is used in S-I-A-D-H,
00:26:02.354 --> 00:26:02.653
Yeah.
00:26:03.074 --> 00:26:13.524
Well, one thing that is a bit confusing from what you're saying, just to clarify, so we're talking about other mechanisms of action, but what James talking about here is the other category.
00:26:13.524 --> 00:26:16.794
So access, watch, reserve, and then other, which is what we're talking about, everyone.
00:26:16.794 --> 00:26:23.213
So maybe on the tables we can add in on the left hand column, other mechanisms
00:26:24.074 --> 00:26:25.778
I had like to keep it confusing actually, but
00:26:25.854 --> 00:26:28.763
or just change other di instead of saying other mechanisms.
00:26:28.763 --> 00:26:28.973
Right.
00:26:29.538 --> 00:26:30.888
Different categories or something.
00:26:30.979 --> 00:26:31.878
It's just confusing
00:26:31.878 --> 00:26:33.409
Maybe I like the confusion.
00:26:33.528 --> 00:26:34.189
more,
00:26:34.278 --> 00:26:34.939
Alright, fine.
00:26:35.838 --> 00:26:36.274
something like that.
00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:39.179
But yeah, let's talk about the differences then.
00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:50.969
So if you look at the different, again, this is all on a table color coded, but if you look at the table, there's a theme, which is that for the cell wall agents, there's a bunch of stuff that the U-K-H-S-A have said is reserve.
00:26:52.138 --> 00:26:54.568
That the WHOC is what, or the carbapenems,
00:26:55.094 --> 00:26:55.314
Yep.
00:26:55.979 --> 00:27:02.608
the amoxil clave acid is watch in U-K-H-S-A, but access in
00:27:02.608 --> 00:27:02.909
Yeah.
00:27:03.269 --> 00:27:03.719
So it's
00:27:03.824 --> 00:27:04.604
That's a big change.
00:27:04.739 --> 00:27:05.489
Sh, you know, sh.
00:27:05.653 --> 00:27:05.774
Yeah.
00:27:05.774 --> 00:27:14.784
And KLA is I think one of the workhorses of the NHS and I think, a lot of KLA is used and it's quite appealing.
00:27:14.834 --> 00:27:16.784
It covers strep generally.
00:27:17.834 --> 00:27:21.284
It mostly covers staph aureus and non-severe infections.
00:27:21.584 --> 00:27:23.413
Covers quite a lot of gram-negatives.
00:27:23.473 --> 00:27:25.733
It covers mouthy organisms.
00:27:26.308 --> 00:27:27.598
Bites and stuff like that.
00:27:27.598 --> 00:27:35.499
It covers chest, it covers urine mostly abdominal to a degree is, you know, it's easy, isn't it?
00:27:35.499 --> 00:27:36.338
It's easy medicine.
00:27:36.399 --> 00:27:39.763
You just come in and you prescribe everybody the same drug and then they all go away happy.
00:27:39.903 --> 00:27:45.423
Yeah
I guess if you were gonna have one drug as the everything drug, it would be that and the other advantage is, of course, that it's oral.
00:27:45.784 --> 00:27:46.074
Yeah.
00:27:46.134 --> 00:27:52.703
Too, I think that the, though that the HSE approach for us is.
00:27:54.953 --> 00:27:55.884
Is right
00:27:55.933 --> 00:27:56.564
yeah, I.
00:27:56.834 --> 00:28:00.044
One, the c diff risk is not in inconsiderable.
00:28:00.503 --> 00:28:12.534
But The thing that I really am mindful is that the U-K-H-S-A updated this aware classification and put it as an appendix in the S power report, English survey of prevalence of antibiotic utilization and resistance.
00:28:12.923 --> 00:28:17.094
And the first chapter of that is antibacterial resistance.
00:28:17.513 --> 00:28:28.284
And if you go and look at that, coli resistance in e coli is nudging up to 40% and in Klebsiella is over 30.
00:28:29.229 --> 00:28:32.328
And those are the big two gram negatives that we've got.
00:28:32.749 --> 00:28:48.649
And so if SCL was being given its license on the market today with that kind of prevalence of resistance in the gram-negatives, it wouldn't be given a license for UTI, it wouldn't be given a license to cover complicated intraabdominal infection.
00:28:48.919 --> 00:28:51.979
You would say, this is for pneumonias only.
00:28:52.159 --> 00:28:59.388
And if you're going to use it for intraabdominal stuff, you would have to combine it with a gram-negative active agent like Gentamicin, for example.
00:28:59.439 --> 00:28:59.828
Or not.
00:28:59.828 --> 00:29:02.538
Just not use it and use Ceftriaxone instead.
00:29:03.288 --> 00:29:07.209
And so I've got that reservation in my head that It's the everything drug
00:29:07.399 --> 00:29:07.729
yeah,
00:29:08.098 --> 00:29:09.028
and less the case.
00:29:09.229 --> 00:29:09.348
yeah.
00:29:09.388 --> 00:29:16.259
It you, it allows you that false reassurance to say, I don't need to worry about what the source of infection is or what's happening, because I've given them comox.
00:29:16.509 --> 00:29:16.838
Yes.
00:29:16.939 --> 00:29:20.179
And actually it's about continually driving home, like.
00:29:20.608 --> 00:29:26.878
Make diagnoses, get samples, get microbiology to guide therapy in, in all male patients.
00:29:27.149 --> 00:29:35.729
And I think in the community, the question is what patient is, unwell enough that they really need cocal and you can't be more narrow
00:29:36.838 --> 00:29:37.108
Yeah.
00:29:37.159 --> 00:29:41.328
And if they are that unwell and should again, be getting samplings and making sure you've got the right diagnosis.
00:29:41.328 --> 00:29:41.929
Exceptions,
00:29:42.394 --> 00:29:43.894
figure out what's going on and where.
00:29:44.358 --> 00:29:44.568
yeah.
00:29:44.713 --> 00:29:44.983
Yeah.
00:29:45.314 --> 00:29:46.693
And then what else have we got?
00:29:46.774 --> 00:29:53.763
There's, a bunch of protein synthesis things that are and WHO.
00:29:54.979 --> 00:29:56.719
But watch in KHSA.
00:29:56.719 --> 00:30:01.759
So Amikacin probably not something they want to promote.
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:03.259
The use of particularly not that
00:30:03.544 --> 00:30:03.784
Yeah.
00:30:03.784 --> 00:30:04.713
And I think that makes sense.
00:30:04.713 --> 00:30:06.993
'cause Chloramphenicol is, in many countries a workhorse.
00:30:06.993 --> 00:30:08.953
It's a, cheap, very, broad.
00:30:10.213 --> 00:30:12.554
TRO antibiotic and used to be,
00:30:12.659 --> 00:30:13.318
antibiotic.
00:30:13.318 --> 00:30:13.439
It
00:30:13.499 --> 00:30:13.838
you know, in the UK it
00:30:13.979 --> 00:30:14.159
it.
00:30:14.159 --> 00:30:14.608
It's kind of
00:30:14.683 --> 00:30:15.284
used to be.
00:30:15.328 --> 00:30:15.929
covers everything.
00:30:16.423 --> 00:30:24.834
Yeah, it used to be a workhorse in the UK until, the, all the stuff about its irreversible side effects came out and you got carbapenems, careful sporin as well, like.
00:30:24.834 --> 00:30:26.993
third gen, careful Sporin came in, that was the nail in
00:30:27.024 --> 00:30:27.233
Yeah.
00:30:27.604 --> 00:30:28.324
So to speak.
00:30:29.253 --> 00:30:40.538
and then a rare downgrading, so IV minocycline is reserve in WHO, but watch in U-K-H-S-A and that I think makes sense'cause that just means a minocycline is
00:30:40.719 --> 00:30:40.929
Yeah.
00:30:41.138 --> 00:30:41.949
in the same area.
00:30:41.949 --> 00:30:42.189
So, yeah.
00:30:42.368 --> 00:30:45.759
Just like Clindamycin is smoothed from access to watch.
00:30:45.788 --> 00:30:49.443
'cause it, it felt a bit odd that it was an access drug in who?
00:30:49.443 --> 00:30:52.923
And it's gone to Watch and U-K-H-S-A, which I think makes more sense to me.
00:30:53.884 --> 00:30:53.973
Yeah,
00:30:54.138 --> 00:30:54.558
me too.
00:30:55.308 --> 00:31:00.538
and then there's a bunch of stuff that the other stuff like the spectrum and omey and
00:31:00.808 --> 00:31:00.899
yeah.
00:31:00.929 --> 00:31:01.229
Vision.
00:31:01.673 --> 00:31:01.683
They.
00:31:01.959 --> 00:31:02.888
It's gone into other.
00:31:03.608 --> 00:31:04.388
I think that makes sense.
00:31:04.659 --> 00:31:06.009
They're very specific indications.
00:31:06.009 --> 00:31:09.939
You don't want them like gumming up your antimicrobial stewardship data
00:31:10.038 --> 00:31:17.838
And so too with your anti folate agents, sulfa, Perine, and Sulfadiazine, which are really just used by ID physicians, so their access in WHO, but other
00:31:18.784 --> 00:31:19.084
Yeah.
00:31:20.479 --> 00:31:23.259
KHSA, remind me, KA, is that mostly for toxo that we're using those?
00:31:23.934 --> 00:31:24.835
Yeah, I think so.
00:31:25.704 --> 00:31:32.390
And then lastly, oral Phosphomycin is watch and WHO and it's access in U-K-H-S-A.
00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:34.079
So, we use a lot of phosphomycin.
00:31:34.529 --> 00:31:36.509
I think I've got mixed feelings about that.
00:31:36.539 --> 00:31:45.964
'cause I feel like sometimes we're reaching for
phosphomycin quite early and maybe we should be reserving this as a more of a, drug that we're using just in resistance.
00:31:46.545 --> 00:31:51.464
You see it being used more first line people like you just take a single sache, that's you three days done.
00:31:51.515 --> 00:31:51.755
The thing.
00:31:51.755 --> 00:31:53.125
One and done, and it's oral as
00:31:53.224 --> 00:31:53.495
Yeah.
00:31:53.674 --> 00:31:56.644
But the more we use it, the more likely we are to lose it.
00:31:57.069 --> 00:31:57.339
Yeah.
00:31:57.339 --> 00:31:59.920
And resistance is actually very easy to acquire.
00:32:00.365 --> 00:32:00.605
Yeah.
00:32:00.724 --> 00:32:01.234
Just see that.
00:32:01.390 --> 00:32:02.200
in some bugs.
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:02.829
In some bugs,
00:32:02.855 --> 00:32:03.035
Yeah.
00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:03.339
of them.
00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:03.609
Yeah.
00:32:04.029 --> 00:32:14.680
And actually IV phosphomycin, I feel I am not so confident in our treatment of difficult to treat gram-negative infection that I feel that we can just throw IV phosphomycin.
00:32:14.856 --> 00:32:34.797
Around increasing use of oral phosphomycin is just going to trigger resistance developing in the environment because, almost all of the phosphomycin that you, give to the patient is peed out, unchanged into the environment where all the gram negatives that live there can start developing resistance mechanisms, against it.
00:32:36.221 --> 00:32:39.072
So I guess that's the main differences.
00:32:39.521 --> 00:32:42.912
Maybe we could end on just talking about why this is useful.
00:32:43.182 --> 00:32:46.332
Like why are we even talking about the aware classification?
00:32:48.072 --> 00:32:52.916
I think the U-K-H-S-A classification,, a, it's useful for.
00:32:53.626 --> 00:33:01.817
ID trainees in the uk, which is normally our main audience, even though most of the audience is not in the uk it's useful for them to.
00:33:02.686 --> 00:33:12.547
Actually have a look at this classification and see, where drugs, certain drugs lie so that they can then tailor their prescribing recommendations, to that.
00:33:13.267 --> 00:33:20.436
it's also a, like, it's quite a nice example of how our country can take the WHO classification and mod it for their own.
00:33:20.852 --> 00:33:27.451
Purposes and end up with something that's usable and pretty to wrap your head around.
00:33:27.451 --> 00:33:33.882
This table that I've got here for the U-K-H-S-A could be printed on one side of a four and stuck up on a
00:33:34.092 --> 00:33:34.271
Yeah,
00:33:34.301 --> 00:33:34.572
you know what
00:33:34.662 --> 00:33:38.832
I think you've done a great job summarizing, and I have to say two things.
00:33:38.832 --> 00:33:39.672
I think about it from.
00:33:39.721 --> 00:33:41.402
I guess learning point of view is one.
00:33:42.122 --> 00:33:48.932
Here are all the antibiotics that we use on a table color coded and categorized.
00:33:49.021 --> 00:33:52.592
So if you want to
figure out, oh, there's so many antibiotics.
00:33:52.771 --> 00:33:53.642
What one should I learn?
00:33:53.731 --> 00:33:54.481
Learn these ones.
00:33:54.541 --> 00:33:54.961
There you go.
00:33:55.396 --> 00:33:56.807
And you don't even need to learn all of them.
00:33:57.311 --> 00:33:57.822
No, there's some,
00:33:57.866 --> 00:33:58.287
don't need to
00:33:58.301 --> 00:33:58.481
there's.
00:33:58.767 --> 00:34:08.951
minocycline and oxytetracycline unless you're gonna be treating acne and, good luck trying to find some cylin to use in your day-to-day clinical practice.
00:34:09.001 --> 00:34:17.922
In the, on the whole, I think it's useful as a sort of quick, if you want to know a little bit about all these antibiotics or sometimes if you're like, oh, just this just feels a bit overwhelming sometimes.
00:34:18.342 --> 00:34:26.301
Categorizing information and trying to get this sort of schema is what it's called in your head can be a useful way to help learn.
00:34:26.631 --> 00:34:32.341
And the other thing I think it's useful for on a day-to-day basis is say, going to treat someone's infection.
00:34:32.701 --> 00:34:38.192
I could use GEF Traxon or I could use say, cotrimoxazole.
00:34:39.067 --> 00:34:43.766
And then if this, if you're kind of at a bit of a point of pose, like either drug would be fine.
00:34:44.486 --> 00:34:46.826
I don't have a real reason to use one or the other.
00:34:46.886 --> 00:34:48.056
It's maybe not a good example.
00:34:48.056 --> 00:34:53.796
Maybe there's a better example ox Cloud versus Cotrimoxazole, and you're not sure which one to use.
00:34:54.546 --> 00:35:06.516
You can look at this and be like, well, ideally in my own prescribing and as a steward, as an antibiotic champion, I would want to use an access antibiotic over a watch antibiotic, over a reserve.
00:35:06.666 --> 00:35:11.576
So I personally find it quite helpful when I'm having these thoughts in my head about.
00:35:12.251 --> 00:35:13.511
Choice of antibiotics.
00:35:13.511 --> 00:35:24.341
I think if I can, and there's no reason that I have to use something of a higher level, I will default to using access antibiotics as much as I can.
00:35:24.581 --> 00:35:28.931
Which kind of ties into what I said earlier on about esli, which is a reserve antibiotic.
00:35:29.546 --> 00:35:36.536
So I challenge myself to be like, okay, yes, it would be very easy to use Neli here, and that would make me feel really reassured.
00:35:36.596 --> 00:35:41.756
But it is a reserve antibiotic, so we should be reserving it for when we really need it.
00:35:42.056 --> 00:35:46.376
So, could I use, Kein here or could I use.
00:35:47.236 --> 00:35:48.616
Clindamycin potentially.
00:35:49.136 --> 00:35:53.876
And that might not always be appropriate'cause obviously, ultimately you have to make the best decision for that patient in front of you.
00:35:53.876 --> 00:35:55.576
But if there's no reason not to.
00:35:55.726 --> 00:35:58.576
I think it is useful in helping guide your antibiotic decisions.
00:35:58.751 --> 00:36:07.461
Yeah I suppose the other context would be that if you are an antimicrobial steward and you are writing guidelines for other people to follow.
00:36:08.401 --> 00:36:10.531
This should be the framework that you should be working to.
00:36:10.681 --> 00:36:17.341
You should be trying to maximize your use of access antibiotics and minimize your use of watch and reserve.
00:36:17.731 --> 00:36:18.001
Yeah.
00:36:18.001 --> 00:36:27.781
that's why all the trusts in England and in Scotland as well have a target that started, I think at 55% antibiotic
00:36:27.976 --> 00:36:28.216
Yeah,
00:36:28.231 --> 00:36:28.621
the trust.
00:36:28.766 --> 00:36:29.981
Now we're aiming for 70%.
00:36:30.041 --> 00:36:30.701
We're at 70.
00:36:30.701 --> 00:36:31.001
Yeah.
00:36:31.181 --> 00:36:33.551
And so that's driving up over the years.
00:36:33.551 --> 00:36:44.131
So that, and we know that most antibiotic prescribing is done, by in agriculture and then even if you just combine it to humans, most of it is GP practices.
00:36:45.121 --> 00:36:50.131
like the bit that we can handle as hospital doctors is hospital antibiotics with
00:36:50.141 --> 00:36:50.381
Yeah,
00:36:51.181 --> 00:36:51.631
guidance.
00:36:51.916 --> 00:36:54.166
and this will feed into the existing stewardship programs.
00:36:54.166 --> 00:36:59.036
You know, GP practices already get reports on their antimicrobial prescribing and things like Target.
00:36:59.036 --> 00:37:02.981
So example, being trying to focus on five day thousand seven day courses
00:37:03.081 --> 00:37:03.321
Yeah.
00:37:03.326 --> 00:37:03.446
Yeah.
00:37:03.601 --> 00:37:04.101
has been a big.
00:37:04.166 --> 00:37:04.886
that other stuff.
00:37:04.891 --> 00:37:05.521
The, yeah.
00:37:05.586 --> 00:37:13.317
It's tying into the wider work that's been going on before this, but I think is a useful thing just for communication and that, you know, adds to that.
00:37:13.426 --> 00:37:13.726
Fine.
00:37:13.861 --> 00:37:14.461
it's good.
00:37:14.686 --> 00:37:15.466
Thank you, Callum.
00:37:15.526 --> 00:37:19.576
Well, hopefully you're a little bit more aware than you are at the beginning.
00:37:19.817 --> 00:37:21.136
Sometimes there's a pun at the end.
00:37:22.051 --> 00:37:23.491
You reserve that one for right at the end.
00:37:24.883 --> 00:37:25.933
Watch it Jane.
