Module 5: Case 3 - HSV
Microbiological Learning Objectives
- Discuss rapid diagnostic and resistance/susceptibility testing principles most important to pathogens relevant to stewardship (KPC, Candida spp, HSV).
- Describe principles of phenotypic susceptibility testing, MIC interpretation and apply practical CLSI data effectively relevant to cases (KPC, Candida spp. HSV).
- Outline opportunities for integration of microbiology lab into antimicrobial stewardship initiatives (relevant to both susceptibility testing/reporting and rapid diagnostics/lab stewardship)
Pharmacotherapeutics Learning Objectives
- Customize antimicrobial agent selection based on available phenotypic and/or genotypic microbiological testing results.
- Customize antimicrobial dosage regimens based on available phenotypic and/or genotypic microbiological testing results
- Apply PK/PD data, target indices, and therapeutic drug monitoring to the design of appropriate antimicrobial regimens for patients with altered pharmacokinetics and/or in special populations.
