The US Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise convened subject matter experts at the 2010 HHS Burkholderia Workshop to develop consensus recommendations for postexposure prophylaxis against and treatment for Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei infections, which cause melioidosis and glanders, respectively. Drugs recommended by consensus of the participants are ceftazidime or meropenem for initial intensive therapy, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for eradication therapy. For postexposure prophylaxis, recommended drugs are trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or co-amoxiclav. To improve the timely diagnosis of melioidosis and glanders, further development and wide distribution of rapid diagnostic assays were also recommended. Standardized animal models and B. pseudomallei strains are needed for further development of therapeutic options. Training for laboratory technicians and physicians would facilitate better diagnosis and treatment options.
美国公共卫生应急医疗对策企业召集了专题专家参加 2010 年 HHS 伯克霍尔德菌研讨会,以制定针对布氏杆菌假单胞菌和马鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌感染(分别导致类鼻疽和鼻疽)的暴露后预防和治疗的共识建议。经与会者协商一致推荐的药物为头孢他啶或美罗培南作为初始强化治疗,以及复方磺胺甲噁唑或阿莫西林/克拉维酸用于清除治疗。对于暴露后预防,推荐的药物为复方磺胺甲噁唑或复方阿莫西林。为了提高类鼻疽和鼻疽的及时诊断,还建议进一步开发和广泛分发快速诊断检测方法。需要标准化的动物模型和布氏杆菌假单胞菌菌株,以进一步开发治疗选择。对实验室技术人员和医生进行培训将有助于更好地诊断和治疗选择。
