Important Safety Information about BESIVANCE ® (cont.) As with other anti-infectives, prolonged use of BESIVANCE ® may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If super-infection occurs, discontinue use and institute alternative therapy. Patients should not wear contact lenses if they have signs or symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis or during the course of therapy with BESIVANCE ® . The most common adverse event reported in 2% of patients treated with BESIVANCE ® was conjunctival redness. Other adverse events reported in patients receiving BESIVANCE ® occurring in approximately 1-2% of patients included: blurred vision, eye pain, eye irritation, eye pruritus and headache.

OBJECTIVE:

To report resistance rates and trends among common ocular isolates collected during the first 5 years of the ARMOR study.

STUDY DESIGN:

Ongoing, prospective, multicenter study designed to monitor antibiotic resistance trends among isolates of 5 common ocular bacterial pathogens.

• 72 ocular centers, university hospitals, and community hospitals across 36 states collected isolates January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2013

• Analysis performed at an independent central laboratory from January 16 to May 15, 2015

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES:

Minimum inhibitory concentrations for various antibiotic classes were interpreted as susceptible, intermediate, or resistant based on established break points.

• 3237 isolates were collected from the conjunctiva, cornea, aqueous humor, and vitreous humor. 3237 isolates were collected; the anatomical source was known for 1280 isolates.

RELEVANCE:

Continued surveillance of ocular isolates provides important information for ophthalmologists and optometrists to consider when selecting topical antibacterials for empirical therapy.
