INTRODUCTION • Increasing resistance to anti-microbial agents • Increasing use of antimicrobials • Monitoring the relationship an important tool : - to determine the association - to demonstrate need for rational drug use - to identify target areas for intervention
AIM • Phase 1: To establish an integrated surveillance model of anti-microbial resistance and use • Phase 2: To develop an intervention to improve rational antimicrobial use and contain resistance.
METHODS • A. ANTIMICROBIAL USAGE • Geographical areas: 1. Urban area - Vellore town 2. Rural area - KV Kuppam block • Drug usage was studied using two methodologies: • 1. Individual Patient Drug Use • 2. Bulk Drug Use
1. Individual Drug Use • 15 facilities in each area- private practitioners, hospitals and pharmacy shops • Monthly visit - structured questionnaire format • 30 patients prescribed or dispensed any antimicrobial included per facility • Main outcome measure: • - Percentage of patients prescribed a specific antimicrobial
2. Bulk Drug Use • 5 pharmacy shops in each area : • - purchase and sales data • 5 hospitals (PHCs and RUHSA)in rural area : - drug stock register • CMC hospital (tertiary care) in urban area : • - pharmacy computer system • The DDD/1000 patients /month : - calculated for a specific antimicrobial
B. ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE: • 100 women recruited per month from antenatal clinics 1. CMC Hospital, Vellore (urban) 2. RUHSA hospital, KV Kuppam Block (rural). • Women symptomatic of UTI - midstream urine cultured • Asymptomatic women - deliberate contamination of urine • Cultured in Maconkey agar. Susceptibility test in isolates - for antimicrobials used in gram negative infections • Primary microbiological outcome : - Percentage of isolates resistant to specific antimicrobials
RESULTS • Antimicrobial Usage Pattern • 5400 patients (47.3 %) given antimicrobials - from a total of 11,421 patient encounters. • 406 patients (7.5 %) given more than one antimicrobial. • 2091 patients (38.7 %) had at least one injection • The commonly prescribed antimicrobials were: • Fluoroquinolones – 14.0 % Cotrimoxazole – 7.1 % • Amoxycillin/Ampicillin – 11.4% Cephalosporins – 5.6 %
Preliminary Data Analysis of Resistance in E. coli : • 535 consecutive E. coli isolated from contaminated urine • E. coli resistance determined for specific antimicrobials: • Cotrimoxazole – 23.8 % Chloramphenicol – 7.8 % • Tetracyclines – 21.0 % Norfloxacin – 3.8 % • Ampicillin – 20.1 % Cefalexin – 2.4 % • Nalidixic acid – 18.3 % Nitrofurantoin – 0.6%

Conclusions • High levels of antimicrobial use in community - 43.7% • Commonly used antimicrobials : • Fluoroquinolones - general practice (private sector) • Cotrimoxazole - rural hospitals ( mainly public sector) • Amoxycillin / Ampicillin - • pharmacy shops and general practice (private sector) • Antimicrobials with higher resistance in E.coli are: Cotrimoxazole Ampicillin Tetracyclines Nalidixic acid
Resistance levels appear to be similar in both rural and urban areas • At Phase I completion, conclusions to be drawn on : - antimicrobial use, resistance and their relationship - the facilities and antimicrobials needing interventions • Phase I information can be used : - to plan multidimensional interventions targeting health administrators, providers and consumers (Phase II) • The interventions may improve rational antimicrobial use and ultimately control bacterial resistance
