Abstract: Overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics, particularly broad-spectrum antibiotics, is recognized as a serious problem in nursing homes (NHs). The adverse consequences of inappropriate prescribing practices including drug reactions/interactions, secondary complications, and the emergence of multi-drug resistant organisms have become more common. For example, in one point-prevalence survey of 117 NH residents, 43 percent were culture-positive for one or more antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, including methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureas (24 percent), extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing klebsiella pneumoniae (18 percent) or Escherichia coli (15 percent), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Inappropriate overprescribing and overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics, when narrower spectrum drugs would suffice, are believed to be important contributors to this problem. The objectives of the study are to: 1.Develop a standardized method for determining antibiotic susceptibility patterns and developing NH-specific antibiograms; 2.Extract preliminary data from NH facilities of various sizes and types to guide the development of the draft toolkit; and 3.Develop a draft toolkit to guide a wide variety of sizes and types of NHs in developing and sharing antibiogram information with prescribing providers (i.e., physicians and physician extenders) and EDs.
