Target Audience

This program is intended for physicians (eg, critical care/pulmonologist, infectious disease, internal medicine/hospitalist), pharmacists (critical care, infectious disease), nurses, and other healthcare professionals (eg, NPs/PAs, microbiologists) who provide care for patients with antimicrobial resistant gram-negative infections.

Program Learning Goal

The goal of this activity is to improve participants’ competence in selecting appropriate antibiotic regimens for empiric or targeted treatment of complex clinical infections caused by antimicrobial resistant gram-negative pathogens.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Differentiate clinically relevant extensively drug-resistant gram-negative organisms (XDROs) including epidemiology, mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, and virulence factors

  • Compare novel antimicrobial treatment options for patients with antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative infections, including pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and activity in the setting of key resistance mechanisms

  • Apply the latest data and suggested approaches for selection of optimized treatment regimens targeting XDROs in patients with complex clinical infections
