    Abstract Background: VRE infections increased in 2020. High-dose daptomycin (≥10 mg/kg) has shown mortality benefit over other regimens, though daptomycin resistance is increasing. Limited data exist on the practice patterns of ID pharmacists for VRE bloodstream infections (VRE BSIs).
    Objectives: To describe practice patterns for VRE BSI in ID pharmacists.
    Methods: A 22-question REDCap survey was distributed to ID pharmacist members of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) Infectious Diseases Practice and Research Network (ID PRN) via e-mail listserv. The survey was distributed on 7 April 2022 and remained open for 4 weeks.
    Results: Sixty-eight pharmacists responded. All pharmacists completed additional training or certification in infectious diseases past their PharmD, and most (70.5%) had been practising for 10 years or less. Pharmacists at academic medical centres (80.0%) were more likely (
    Conclusions: ID pharmacists overwhelmingly selected high-dose daptomycin for VRE BSI. There were variations in practice and response rate when selecting combination therapy, managing persistent bacteraemia, and treating patients with high daptomycin MICs or previous exposure to daptomycin.

  5. Article ; Online: Examining the Potential of Pharmacies to Expand Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Access Along Georgia's Fixed-Route Public Transit: A Geospatial Analysis.

    Abstract Background: Despite accounting for more than half of new Human Immunodeficiency Virus diagnoses in the United States, the South has fewer than 30% of all pre-exposure prophylaxis users. Pre-exposure prophylaxis access geospatial analyses have focused on drive time but analyses along public transit routes have not been evaluated. Given the proximity to pharmacists and pharmacies, involvement in pre-exposure prophylaxis services may increase access and uptake of this preventative health need.
    Objective: The objectives were to compare the rate of pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake between Georgia counties with and without public transit, to assess the geospatial accessibility of services along public transit, and to evaluate the potential impact of expanding pre-exposure prophylaxis services to community pharmacies.
    Methods: Pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake rates between counties with and without public transit were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Geospatial analysis was performed using ArcGIS Pro and Geoda. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake rates and population and county characteristics. Spatial analysis was completed to uncover predictors for pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake rates. Increased access to pre-exposure prophylaxis along public transit was calculated by reporting the number of counties that would experience at least a 50% increase in pre-exposure prophylaxis access through community pharmacies.
    Results: Pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake is significantly higher in Georgia counties with versus without public transit (P < 0.001). Pre-exposure prophylaxis rate is positively correlated with the accessibility of community pharmacies and pre-exposure prophylaxis clinics along fixed-route public transit (R
    Conclusion: Transportation remains a barrier to accessing pre-exposure prophylaxis. Georgia community pharmacies along public transit may serve as a solution to pre-exposure prophylaxis care access barriers.

    Abstract Despite advancements in diagnosing and treating invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), there is limited knowledge of real-world treatment pathways and medication switches. We queried the TrinetX global research network database and identified 5,410 patients diagnosed with IPA. The most common initial treatments were voriconazole (49%), fluconazole (11%), and posaconazole (7%). Most patients remained on voriconazole (80%) or isavuconazole (78%) throughout the treatment duration. Switches were more frequent for those initially treated with fluconazole, echinocandins, or posaconazole.

    Abstract Glucocorticoids are widespread anti-inflammatory medications used in medical practice. The immunosuppressive effects of systemic glucocorticoids and increased susceptibility to infections are widely appreciated. However, the dose-dependent model frequently used may not accurately predict the risk of infection in all patients treated with long-term glucocorticoids. In this review, we examine the risks of opportunistic infections (OIs) in patients requiring glucocorticoid therapy by evaluating the influence of the glucocorticoid dose, duration, and potency, combined with biological and host clinical factors and concomitant immunosuppressive therapy. We propose strategies to prevent OIs, which involve screening, antimicrobial prophylaxis, and immunizations. While this review focuses on patients with autoimmune, inflammatory, or neoplastic diseases, the potential risks and preventative strategies are likely applicable to other populations. Clinicians should actively assess the benefit-harm ratios of systemic glucocorticoids and implement preventive efforts to decrease their associated infections complications.

    Abstract Kimyrsa is a new formulation (NF) of the original formulation of oritavancin ([OF] Orbactiv). Comparatively, the obvious benefit with this product is the shortened infusion time and flexibility with solution compatibility, but otherwise maintains a similar pharmacokinetic and microbiologic profile. At present, the NF lacks significant real-world experience relative to other available lipoglycopeptides and thus its place in therapy remains difficult to predict but would not be expected to be significantly different than its OF.
