ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
Target audience will include clinicians from various disciplines such as medicine, nursing and pharmacy. The webinar will focus on topics most relevant to consultant pharmacist, geriatric pharmacists (including those seeking BCGP recertification credit), and other clinical pharmacists who are actively involved in the management of patients with multidrug resistant gram‑negative bacterial infections. The webinar (a continuation to the 2018 ASCP session on multidrug Gram‑positive bacteria) will focus on the pathogenicity, identification, and treatment of infections caused by E. coli, Enterobacter spp, P. aeruginosa, A. baumanni , and K. pneumoniae in older adults.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this application-based activity, participants should be able to:

• Review of most common mechanisms of resistance utilized by Gram-negative organisms.
• Identify the most significant risk factors for infection with Gram-negative resistant organisms in healthcare settings.
• Highlight the prevalence, characteristics, and methods of resistance of the most detrimental Gram-negative resistant organisms.
• Formulate a plan for empiric and streamlined therapy when treating infections suspected/caused by resistant Gram-negative organisms.
