Abstract
With tuberculosis, the emergence of fluoroquinolone resistance erodes the ability of treatment to interrupt the progression of MDR-TB to XDR-TB. One way to reduce the emergence of resistance is to identify heteroresistant infections in which subpopulations of resistant mutants are likely to expand and make the infections fully resistant: treatment modification can be instituted to suppress mutant enrichment. Rapid DNA-based detection methods exploit the finding that fluoroquinolone-resistant substitutions occur largely in a few codons of DNA gyrase. A second approach for restricting the emergence of resistance involves understanding fluoroquinolone lethality through studies of antimicrobial tolerance, a condition in which bacteria fail to be killed even though their growth is blocked by lethal agents. Studies with Escherichia coli guide work with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Lethal action, which is mechanistically distinct from blocking growth, is associated with a surge in respiration and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mutations in carbohydrate metabolism that attenuate ROS accumulation create pan-tolerance to antimicrobials, disinfectants, and environmental stressors. These observations indicate the existence of a general death pathway with respect to stressors. M. tuberculosis displays a variation on the death pathway idea, as stress-induced ROS is generated by NADH-mediated reductive stress rather than by respiration. A third approach, which emerges from lethality studies, uses a small molecule, N-acetyl cysteine, to artificially increase respiration and additional ROS accumulation. That enhances moxifloxacin lethality with M. tuberculosis in culture, during infection of cultured macrophages, and with infection of mice. Addition of ROS stimulators to fluoroquinolone treatment of tuberculosis constitutes a new direction for suppressing the transition of MDR-TB to XDR-TB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether target values for pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) indices against selected canine pathogens were achievable for pradofloxacin in various canine fluids and leukocytes. ANIMALS 8 healthy adult hounds (experiments 1 and 2) and 6 healthy adult dogs (experiment 3). PROCEDURES In 3 experiments, pradofloxacin (3, 6, or 12 mg/kg) and enrofloxacin (5 or 10 mg/kg) were orally administered once a day for 5 days, and blood, interstitial fluid (ISF), and other fluid samples were collected at various points. Sample drug concentrations were measured, and noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed; then, PK-PD indices (ratios between maximum observed concentration [Cmax] and minimum inhibitory or mutant prevention concentrations) were determined for 7 bacterial species. RESULTS PK-PD values for pradofloxacin at 3 mg/kg were approximately 5 times as high in leukocyte versus plasma and were lowest in CSF, synovial fluid, and aqueous humor. No significant differences were noted between serum and ISF. Value ratios for serum versus other body fluids were numerically higher for pradofloxacin (vs enrofloxacin) for all fluid types except CSF and aqueous humor. Target PK-PD values were exceeded for pradofloxacin against all 7 bacterial species in leukocytes and against all species except Bacteroides spp in serum and ISF. Enrofloxacin achieved the target Cmax-to-minimum inhibitory concentration ratio against Pasteurella multocida in serum, ISF, and leukocytes and for Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in serum and leukocytes. A Cmax-to-mutant prevention concentration ratio ≥ 1 against Eschericha coli was achieved for pradofloxacin at 6 mg/kg. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE These findings supported once-daily oral administration of pradofloxacin to dogs at the currently recommended dose (7.5 mg/kg).

Suppression of Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation Accounts for Paradoxical Bacterial Survival at High Quinolone Concentration. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2018; 62:AAC.01622-17.

Abstract
When bacterial cells are exposed to increasing concentrations of quinolone-class antibacterials, survival drops, reaches a minimum, and then recovers, sometimes to 100%. Despite decades of study, events underlying this paradoxical high-concentration survival remain obscure. Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in antimicrobial lethality, conditions generating paradoxical survival were examined for diminished ROS accumulation. Escherichia coli cultures were treated with various concentrations of nalidixic acid, followed by measurements of survival, rate of protein synthesis, and ROS accumulation. The last measurement used a dye (carboxy-H2DCFDA) that fluoresces in the presence of ROS; fluorescence was assessed by microscopy (individual cells) and flow cytometry (batch cultures). High, nonlethal concentrations of nalidixic acid induced lower levels of ROS than moderate, lethal concentrations. Sublethal doses of exogenous hydrogen peroxide became lethal and eliminated the nalidixic acid-associated paradoxical survival. Thus, quinolone-mediated lesions needed for ROS-executed killing persist at high, nonlethal quinolone concentrations, thereby implicating ROS as a key factor in cell death. Chloramphenicol suppressed nalidixic acid-induced ROS accumulation and blocked lethality, further supporting a role for ROS in killing. Nalidixic acid also inhibited protein synthesis, with extensive inhibition at high concentrations correlating with lower ROS accumulation and paradoxical survival. A catalase deficiency, which elevated ROS levels, overcame the inhibitory effect of chloramphenicol on nalidixic acid-mediated killing, emphasizing the importance of ROS. The data collectively indicate that ROS play a dominant role in the lethal action of narrow-spectrum quinolone-class compounds; a drop in ROS levels accounted for the quinolone tolerance observed at very high concentrations.

Abstract
The mutant prevention concentration (MPC) is a well-known concept in the chemotherapy of many bacterial infections, but is seldom considered in relation to tuberculosis (TB) treatment, as the required concentrations are generally viewed as unachievable without undue toxicity. Early studies revealed single mutations conferring high MICs of first- and second-line anti-TB agents; however, the growing application of genomics and quantitative drug susceptibility testing in TB suggests a wide range of MICs often determined by specific mutations and strain type. In paediatric TB, pharmacokinetic studies indicate that despite increasing dose recommendations, a proportion of children still do not achieve adult-derived targets. When considering the next stage in anti-TB drug dosing and the introduction of novel therapies for children, we suggest consideration of MPC and its incorporation into pharmacokinetic studies to more accurately determine appropriate concentration targets in children, to restrict the growth of resistant mutants and better manage drug-resistant TB.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial resistance is a serious health threat worldwide. Better understanding of exposure targets that could suppress resistance amplification is necessary to guide the dosing of currently available agents as well as new therapies in the drug development process. Areas covered: This review will discuss studies that focused on predicting development of resistance using the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic approach and how to design dosing regimens that can successfully suppress resistance emergence in Gram-negative bacteria. Expert opinion: Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic targets could provide useful insights to guide antimicrobial dosing to prevent resistance emergence. Exposure targets required for resistance suppression are higher than those for efficacy and might not be clinically feasible. Combination therapy is a possible approach to improve the efficacy and minimize the resistance emergence for difficult-to-treat infections.

In Vitro Resistance Selection in Shigella flexneri by Azithromycin, Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, and Moxifloxacin. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 61:AAC.00086-17.

Abstract
Shigella flexneri continues to be a major cause of diarrhea-associated illness, and increasing resistance to first-line antimicrobials complicates the treatment of infections caused by this pathogen. We investigated the pharmacodynamics of current antimicrobial treatments for shigellosis to determine the likelihood of resistance promotion with continued global antimicrobial use. The mutant prevention concentration (MPC) and mutant selection window (MSW) were determined for azithromycin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin against a wild-type strain of S. flexneri (ATCC 12022) and an isogenic gyrA mutant (m-12022). Time-kill assays were performed to determine antimicrobial killing. Concentrations of approved doses of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin are predicted to surpass the MPC for a majority of the dosage interval against ATCC 12022. However, against m-12022, concentrations of all fluoroquinolones are predicted to fall below the MPC and remain in the MSW for a majority of the dosage interval. Concentrations of ceftriaxone fall within the MSW for the majority of the dosage interval for both strains. All agents other than azithromycin displayed bactericidal activity in time-kill assays. Results of pharmacodynamic analyses suggest that all tested fluoroquinolones would achieve a favorable area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)/MPC ratio for ATCC 12022 and would restrict selective enrichment of mutants but that mutant selection in m-12022 would be likely if ciprofloxacin were used. Based on pharmacodynamic analyses, azithromycin and ceftriaxone are predicted to promote mutant selection in both strains. Confirmation of these findings and examination of novel treatment regimens using in vivo studies are warranted.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is a common etiological cause of a chronic respiratory disease in chickens; its increasing antimicrobial resistance compromises the use of tetracyclines, macrolides and quinolones in the farm environment. Mutant selection window (MSW) determination was used to investigate the propensity for future resistance induction by danofloxacin, doxycycline, tilmicosin, tylvalosin and valnemulin. Killing of M. gallisepticum strain S6 by these antimicrobials was also studied by incubating M. gallisepticum into medium containing the compounds at the minimal concentration that inhibits colony formation by 99% (MIC99) and the mutant prevention concentration (MPC). Based on the morphology and colony numbers of M. gallisepticum on agar plates, the four kinds of sera in the order of the applicability for culturing M. gallisepticum were swine serum > horse serum > bovine serum > mixed serum. The MPC/MIC99 values for each agent were as follows: danofloxacin > tilmicosin > tylvalosin > doxycycline > valnemulin. MPC generated more rapid and greater magnitude killing than MIC99 against M. gallisepticum. Under exposure of 105–109 CFU/mL at MPC drug levels, valnemulin had the slowest rate of reduction in viable organisms and danofloxacin had the highest rate of reduction.

Validation of the mutant selection window hypothesis with fosfomycin against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa: an in vitro and in vivo comparative study.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to validate the mutant selection window (MSW) hypothesis in vitro and in vivo with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa exposed to fosfomycin. Two standard strains of Gram-negative bacteria, those are E. coli ATCC 25922 and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, were exposed to fosfomycin at concentrations below MIC, between the MIC and the mutant prevention concentration (MPC), and above the MPC in Luria-Bertani broth and in a tissue-cage infection model, respectively. With the in vitro time-kill studies, there were bacterial re-growth and emergence of resistance thereafter for both strains at antibiotic concentrations of × 4, × 8 and × 16 MIC. In our animal model, the loss in susceptibility of P. aeruginosa at fosfomycin concentrations fluctuated between the lower and upper boundaries of the MSW. In contrast, the emergence of resistant mutants of E. coli was not observed in vivo, regardless of fosfomycin dosage. Interestingly, the in vitro-isolated resistant mutants of E. coli showed a decreased growth rate compared with the susceptible parental strains, whereas no fitness cost in P. aeruginosa was observed. The emergence of antibiotic resistance is shaped by several factors. MSW theory may not apply to all antimicrobial-pathogen combinations. Before it can be used as a framework for the design of antimicrobial therapy, the existence of the window must be demonstrated not only in vitro but also in vivo.

Abstract
In order to explore the relationship between different antibiotic dosing regimens and selective enrichment of resistant strains, tissue-cage infection model was established in rabbits to study relationship between cefquinome pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters and the change of susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In this model, above 108 CFU/mL of S. aureus culture were exposed to cefquinome concentrations below the MIC99 (the minimal concentration that inhibits colony formation by 99% in vitro, 0.3 μg/mL), between the MIC99 and the MPC (the mutant prevent concentration in vitro, 1.6 μg/mL), and above the MPC after intramuscular injection with cefquinome at doses of 4, 8, 16, and 32 mg/kg of body weight (bw) once daily for 5 days or 4, 8, 16, and 24 mg/kg of bw twice daily for 2.5 days. Samples of tissue-cage fluid were collected from the tissue-cage at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 h after each dosing (one dosing daily) or at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 h (two dosing daily). Cefquinome concentration, susceptibility of S. aureus to cefquinome, and bacterial numbers at the infected site were monitored. The MICs of S. aureus and the fraction of resistant bacteria both increased when cefquinome concentrations fluctuated between the MIC99 and MPC. Resistant bacteria were selected in vivo when %T > MPC was < 58% of administration interval or %T > MIC99 was ≥70% of administration interval. These findings demonstrate that low-level, cefquinome-resistant S. aureus were selected predominantly when drug concentrations fell inside a concentration window in in vivo model, which was evidenced by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The selection of resistant bacteria arose from both susceptible bacteria being killed and resistant bacteria re-growth. Keeping drug concentrations above the MPC for ≥58% of administration interval provides a strategy to achieve effective antibacterial activity and minimize the emergence of resistance to cefquinome.

Abstract
Marbofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone specially developed for use in veterinary medicine with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. The objective of our study was to re-evaluate in vivo antimicrobial activity of marbofloxacin against Pasteurella multocida using subcutaneously implanted tissue cages in calves. Calves were infected by direct injection into tissue cages with P. multocida(type B, serotype 2), then intramuscularly received a range of marbofloxacin doses 24 h after inoculation. The ratio of 24 h area under the concentration-time curve divided by the minimum inhibitory concentration or the mutant prevention concentration (AUC24 h/MIC or AUC24 h/MPC) was the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) index that best described the effectiveness of marbofloxacin against P. multocida (R (2) = 0.8514) by non-linear regression analysis. Marbofloxacin exhibited a good antimicrobial activity in vivo. The levels of AUC24 h/MIC and AUC24 h/MPC that produced 50% (1.5log10 CFU/mL reduction) and 90% (3log10 CFU/mL reduction) of maximum response were 18.60 and 50.65 h, 4.67 and 12.89 h by using sigmoid Emax model WINNONLIN software, respectively. The in vivo PK/PD integrated methods by tissue cage model display the advantage of the evaluation of antimicrobial activity and the optimization of the dosage regimen for antibiotics in the presence of the host defenses, especially in target animal of veterinary interest.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the mutant selection window (MSW) hypothesis in vitro and in vivo with Staphylococcus aureus exposed to fosfomycin. With the in vitro time-kill studies, S. aureus ATCC 29213 [with a minimal concentration that inhibits colony formation by 99% (MIC99) of 2.2 μg/mL and a mutant prevention concentration (MPC) of 57.6 μg/mL] lost fosfomycin susceptibility at antibiotic concentrations (2×, 4×, and 8× MIC) that are between the lower and upper boundaries of the MSW. In the tissue-cage model, S. aureus was exposed to fosfomycin pharmacokinetics at concentrations below the MIC99, between the MIC99 and the MPC, and above the MPC, respectively. Changes in susceptibility and counts of total and resistant viable bacteria were monitored in tissue-cage fluid obtained daily. However, the selection of resistant mutants was not observed during antibacterial treatment and 48 h after the termination of fosfomycin treatment, regardless of the fosfomycin dosage. Besides, we found no differences between the in vitro-isolated mutant and its sensitive parental strain, which indicates the absence of fitness cost of fosfomycin resistance in S. aureus ATCC 29213. These findings demonstrate that agar plate determinations do not fit the MSW for fosfomycin treatment of rabbits infected with S. aureus ATCC 29213; therefore, the existence of the window must be demonstrated not only in vitro but also in vivo. Further research is needed on the exact mechanism of resistance.
