Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Developed treatment strategy for Cr-Kp bacteremia   Personalized antimicrobial treatment strategy will be developed based on an integrated stewardship approach  
Comparator Agent  Existing treatment strategy for Cr-Kp bacteremia   Current treatment of Cr-Kp does not include genotypic analysis of individual patients. Therapy varies from physician to physician purely based on clinical experience.  
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  80.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  patients diagnosed with blood stream infections due to carbapenem resistant klebsiella penumoniae anytime during their hospital stay.  
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  patients received from outside hospital who had a positive culture for bacteremia after 48 hours, patients with polymicrobial bacteremia, patients with cystic fibrosis, patients who do not have a carbapenem susceptibility test or noninterpretable susceptibility test 
 
Method of Generating Random Sequence   Not Applicable 
Method of Concealment   Not Applicable 
Blinding/Masking   Not Applicable 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The integrated stewardship approach based on evidence-based recommendation will help to develop a standard treatment guideline for difficult to treat CR-Kp infections.   After obtaining culture positive sample for Cr-Kp  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Optimization of appropriate antibiotic regimen based on the genotype of CR-Kp will help in individualized antimicrobial therapy, providing better outcomes of the patient & prevent treatment failure or antimicrobial resistance.   After obtaining a positive blood culture for Cr-Kp 
Cost-effectiveness analysis of incorporating PCR techniques in CR-Kp will help in better management of patients in low-middle socioeconomic countries like India.   Throughout the hospital stay of the patients based on clinical outcomes

Brief Summary  

This will be a multi-centric prospective interventional study that involves developing and applying treatment strategies for CR-Kp concerning clinical outcomes, carbapenemase genotype, and cost-effectiveness. Treatment strategies will be developed based on analyzing existing treatment patterns, collected retrospectively and correlating the genotypic pattern with clinical outcomes of CR-Kp. Focus group discussion will be conducted to finalize the developed dosing strategies. The effectiveness of the developed treatment strategies will be studied through an interventional design. Cost-effectiveness analysis of the developed strategy over the conventional strategies will be evaluated. Outcomes for safety and efficacy of the developed strategy will be analyzed. Outcomes from this study would enable the developing of clinical practice guidelines for antimicrobial therapy of CR-Kp, which would help in optimizing therapy based on genotypic analysis.
