OBJECTIVES: Antimicrobial Stewardship 2018 (ASP 18) in China emphasizes the hierarchical control of antimicrobial drugs and the management of physicians' prescribing authority, especially in children. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of implementation of ASP 2018 on antibiotic consumption, resistance, and treatment outcomes in children with severe pneumonia from bacterial infections.

METHODS: A single center, retrospective study was conducted on 287 children with severe bacterial pneumonia, including 165 patients before intervention (May 2016-April 2018) and 122 patients after intervention (May 2018-April 2020). The antimicrobial resistance rates, antibiotic consumption, and clinical outcomes of the two periods were compared.

RESULTS: After the implementation of ASP 2018, Staphylococcus aureus (17.9%) became the predominant Gram-positive bacterium. The resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to clindamycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline was significantly reduced (P < 0.001), and Staphylococcus aureus to tetracycline also decreased (P = 0.034). In addition, Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.4%) replaced Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.5%) as the most common Gram-negative bacterium. The resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (AMC) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT), and Acinetobacter baumannii to cefotaxime and SXT decreased significantly (P < 0.02). Total consumption (DDD/100 patient-days) of five antibiotics (cephalosporins, carbapenems, macrolides, antifungal agents, and linezolid) showed a decreasing trend, and the decrease in antifungal agents and linezolid was the most significant (27.4% and 25.6%, P < 0.001). The isolation rate of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains decreased significantly from the highest, 16.8%, before intervention to 6.7% after intervention (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that the implementation of antimicrobial management strategies has significantly reduced the consumption of antibiotics and the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in children with severe bacterial pneumonia in PICU.
