A gentle introduction to influenza pandemics!

What is an influenza pandemic?
• Pandemic Influenza = global spread of influenza infection in humans.
• Pandemic influenza is a rare but inevitable event:– 1918 “Spanish influenza” (H1N1)– 1957 “Asian influenza” (H2N2)– 1968 “Hong Kong influenza” (H3N3)

Cases/Deaths Since 2003: 408/254 (62%)
Why are we interested in this now?
![Page 5: Bacterial pneumonia and pandemic influenza could there be an Impact on a sewage treatment plant?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814881550346895db58efb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
One aim of the pandemic preparedness plan is to slow the spread of influenza, through:
1) vaccine development, stockpiling and distribution,
2) non-pharmaceutical measures, and
3) antiviral stockpiling and distribution 22 November 2007

UK Guidelines
This document is intended for use in the UK in the event that the
World Health Organization declares
that an influenza pandemic has started
![Page 8: Bacterial pneumonia and pandemic influenza could there be an Impact on a sewage treatment plant?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814881550346895db58efb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What do we need to know to predict the arrival of antibiotics at a sewage treatment
plant during a pandemic? Part I
• The scale of influenza infection (R0)• The scale of prophylactic antiviral use (AVP)• The scale of antiviral use to combat actual
infections (AVT)• The likelihood of secondary infections

What do we need to know to predict the arrival of antibiotics at a sewage treatment
plant during a pandemic? Part II
• What antibiotics would be used during a pandemic (how does this compare to baseline)?
• How much of these would be excreted?• How much of these might be lost in the
sewer/sewage treatment plant?• How this predicted concentration (PEC)
compares to thresholds of microbial toxicity (NOEC)

Those highlighted in red to be used in a pandemic
![Page 14: Bacterial pneumonia and pandemic influenza could there be an Impact on a sewage treatment plant?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814881550346895db58efb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So as an example, today we might use 3.7 mg amoxicillin/d/capita (baseline), but
in a pandemic this would rise an additional 1.3 to 74 mg/d/capita (an
increase of 35 to 2000%)!

A Realistic Scenario
Will antibiotic concentrations in sewage get to harmful levels under a realistic scenario?

Under a realistic pandemic influenza scenario most of the individual predicted antibiotic
concentrations exceed the NOEC for laboratory bacteria
But what would it do to sewage bacteria?
![Page 22: Bacterial pneumonia and pandemic influenza could there be an Impact on a sewage treatment plant?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814881550346895db58efb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conclusions
• Pandemic usage of total antibiotics will greatly exceed (50-1000%) that of baseline use
• It is important to note that increased antiviral prophylaxis might lower antibiotic use.
• Individual antibiotics in sewage are predicted to exceed concentrations required to inhibit laboratory test microorganisms.
![Page 23: Bacterial pneumonia and pandemic influenza could there be an Impact on a sewage treatment plant?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814881550346895db58efb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Key Scientific Questions
• Might high antibiotic concentrations harm the complex microbial consortium in a sewage works (rather than just laboratory bugs)?
• How important are additive effects of combined antibiotic usage (similar modes of action)?
• Are antibiotics in unlimited supply?
![Page 24: Bacterial pneumonia and pandemic influenza could there be an Impact on a sewage treatment plant?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56814881550346895db58efb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Further Concerns
• Risk to sewage works failure & ‘downstream’ implications.
• Risk to drinking water under current models and after sewage treatment plant “failure.”
• Increasing antibiotic resistance problem.
