Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The early recognition of acute bacterial skin infections (ABSIs) and their swift and adequate care are the major determinants of success. The features that can hamper or delay surgical and medical management can lead to 'difficult-to-treat' ABSIs. RECENT FINDINGS Delayed diagnosis and belated management are the key obstacles to be overcome. Clinicians should be careful about underestimating the severity of ABSIs and overlooking comorbidities, especially immunosuppression. Many conditions can lead to delayed source control, including a misdiagnosis, interhospital transfers, delayed re-exploration, or extensive injuries. Difficult therapeutic issues can occur, including rapidly destructive infections from highly pathogenic microorganisms (Group-A-streptococci, Vibrio spp., Clostridium spp. and Staphylococcus aureus ) or inadequate antibiotic therapy resulting from multidrug-resistant bacteria. Impaired pharmacokinetic capacities of antibiotic agents should also be considered as a source of clinical failure due to insufficient antimicrobial activity at the site of infection. SUMMARY Microbiological samples should be used for guiding antimicrobial therapy. Risk factors for multidrug-resistant bacteria should be considered, including local epidemiology and comorbidities. The optimization of antibiotic therapy should be achieved. Optimized care should be achieved through multidisciplinary management involving professionals with sufficient and appropriate training.

Covariates in population pharmacokinetic studies of critically ill adults receiving β-lactam antimicrobials: a systematic review and narrative synthesis. JAC Antimicrob Resist 2024; 6:dlae030. [PMID: 38410250 PMCID: PMC10895699 DOI: 10.1093/jacamr/dlae030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Population pharmacokinetic studies of β-lactam antimicrobials in critically ill patients derive models that inform their dosing. In non-linear mixed-effects modelling, covariates are often used to improve model fit and explain variability. We aimed to investigate which covariates are most commonly assessed and which are found to be significant, along with global patterns of publication. Methods We conducted a systematic review, searching MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and Web of Science on 01 March 2023, including studies of critically ill adults receiving β-lactam antimicrobials who underwent blood sampling for population pharmacokinetic studies. We extracted and categorized all reported covariates and assessed reporting quality using the ClinPK checklist. Results Our search identified 151 studies with 6018 participants. Most studies reported observational cohorts (120 studies, 80%), with the majority conducted in high-income settings (136 studies, 90%). Of the 1083 identified covariate instances, 237 were unique; the most common categories were patient characteristics (n = 404), biomarkers (n = 206) and physiological parameters (n = 163). Only seven distinct commonly reported covariates (CLCR, weight, glomerular filtration rate, diuresis, need for renal replacement, serum albumin and C-reactive protein) were significant more than 20% of the time. Conclusions Covariates are most commonly chosen based on biological plausibility, with patient characteristics and biomarkers the most frequently investigated. We developed an openly accessible database of reported covariates to aid investigators with covariate selection when designing population pharmacokinetic studies. Novel covariates, such as sepsis subphenotypes, have not been explored yet, leaving a research gap for future work.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older individuals face an elevated risk of developing bacterial infections. The optimal use of antibacterial agents in this population is challenging because of age-related physiological alterations, changes in pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD), and the presence of multiple underlying diseases. Therefore, population pharmacokinetics (PPK) studies are of great importance for optimizing individual treatments and prompt identification of potential risk factors. AREA COVERED Our search involved keywords such as 'elderly,' 'old people,' and 'geriatric,' combined with 'population pharmacokinetics' and 'antibacterial agents.' This comprehensive search yielded 11 categories encompassing 28 antibacterial drugs, including vancomycin, ceftriaxone, meropenem, and linezolid. Out of 127 studies identified, 26 (20.5%) were associated with vancomycin, 14 (11%) with meropenem, and 14 (11%) with piperacillin. Other antibacterial agents were administered less frequently. EXPERT OPINION PPK studies are invaluable for elucidating the characteristics and relevant factors affecting the PK of antibacterial agents in the older population. Further research is warranted to develop and validate PPK models for antibacterial agents in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Knowledge on the tissue penetration of piperacillin-tazobactam in children with sepsis is lacking. In this study, the feasibility and performance of microdialysis experiments were explored in septic piglets and children as part of a translational research project. METHODS Multiple-day microdialysis investigations were performed in muscle tissue of 22 piglets (of which 11 were septic) and 6 children with sepsis. An in vitro experiment preceded the (pre)clinical trials to derive optimal experimental settings and calibration technique. Linear mixed-effects models quantified the impact of sepsis on relative recovery (RR) and intercatheter, interindividual, interoccasion, and residual variability. RESULTS In vivo microdialysis was well tolerated in piglets and children, with no significant adverse events reported. Using identical experimental settings, lower RR values were recorded in healthy and septic piglets (range: piperacillin, 17.2-29.1% and tazobactam, 23.5-29.1%) compared with the in vitro experiment (piperacillin, 43.3% and tazobactam, 55.3%), and there were unacceptably low values in children with sepsis (<10%). As a result, methodological changes were made in the pediatric trial. Realistic tissue concentration-time curves were derived in piglets and children. In piglets, sepsis reduced the RR. The greatest contributors to RR variability were residual (>40%) and interoccasion (>30%) variability. The internal standard method was the preferred calibration technique in both piglets and children. CONCLUSIONS Microdialysis is a safe and applicable method for the measurement of tissue drug concentrations in piglets and children. This study demonstrated the impact of experimental settings, sepsis, and target population on individual RR.

Adverse Drug Reactions Relevant to Drug Resistance and Ineffectiveness Associated with Meropenem, Linezolid, and Colistin: An Analysis Based on Spontaneous Reports from the European Pharmacovigilance Database. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12050918. [PMID: 37237821 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12050918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is considered one of the major threats to public health and is an important factor that influences the patient's outcome in the intensive care unit. Pharmacovigilance can help raise awareness of potential drug resistance (DR) or ineffectiveness (DI) through adverse drug reaction reports that are submitted to different spontaneous reporting systems. Based on spontaneous Individual Case Safety Reports from EudraVigilance, we conducted a descriptive analysis of adverse drug reactions associated with meropenem, colistin, and linezolid, with a focus on DR and DI. Of the total adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported for each analyzed antibiotic by 31 December 2022, between 2.38-8.42% and 4.15-10.14% of the reports were related to DR and DI, respectively. A disproportionality analysis was conducted to evaluate the frequency of reporting adverse drug reactions relevant to the DR and DI of the analyzed antibiotics compared to other antimicrobials. Based on the analysis of the collected data, this study underlines the importance of post-marketing drug safety monitoring in raising a warning signal regarding antimicrobial resistance, thereby potentially contributing to the reduction in antibiotic treatment failure in an intensive care setting.

Piperacillin Steady State Concentrations in Target Tissues Relevant for PJI Treatment—A Randomized Porcine Microdialysis Study Comparing Continuous Infusion with Intermittent Short-Term Infusion. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12030577. [PMID: 36978444 PMCID: PMC10044349 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12030577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Introduction: Piperacillin is a common antibiotic choice in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the time with free piperacillin concentration above the minimum inhibitory concentration (fT > MIC) at steady state in target tissues relevant for PJI treatment following continuous and intermittent short-term infusion. (2) Methods: 16 pigs were randomized to receive either continuous or intermittent short-term infusion of piperacillin. Steady state piperacillin concentrations were assessed using microdialysis in tibial cortical bone, tibial cancellous bone, synovial fluid of the knee joint, and subcutaneous tissue. MIC-targets of 4, 8, 16, and 64 mg/L were applied. Plasma samples were obtained as reference. (3) Results: Continuous infusion resulted in longer fT > MIC for MIC targets of 4 mg/L and 8 mg/L compared to intermittent short-term infusion in all compartments with the exception of tibial cortical bone. For the MIC-target of 16 mg/L, continuous infusion resulted in a longer fT > MIC in all compartments except for the bone compartments. No differences between groups were seen when applying a MIC-target of 64 mg/L. (4) Conclusions: An aggressive dosing strategy may be necessary to obtain sufficient piperacillin concentrations in all bone compartments, particularly if more aggressive targets are applied. Based on the present study, continuous infusion should be considered in the treatment of PJI.

Abstract
Critically ill patients undergo significant pathophysiological changes that affect antibiotic pharmacokinetics. Piperacillin/tazobactam administered by continuous infusion (CI) improves pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment. This study aimed to characterize piperacillin PK after CI administration of piperacillin/tazobactam in critically ill adult patients with preserved renal function and to determine the empirical optimal dosing regimen. A total of 218 piperacillin concentrations from 106 patients were simultaneously analyzed through the population PK approach. A two-compartment linear model best described the data. Creatinine clearance (CLCR) estimated by CKD-EPI was the covariate, the most predictive factor of piperacillin clearance (CL) interindividual variability. The mean (relative standard error) parameter estimates for the final model were: CL: 12.0 L/h (6.03%); central and peripheral compartment distribution volumes: 20.7 L (8.94%) and 62.4 L (50.80%), respectively; intercompartmental clearance: 4.8 L/h (26.4%). For the PK/PD target of 100% fT>1×MIC, 12 g of piperacillin provide a probability of target attainment > 90% for MIC < 16 mg/L, regardless of CLCR, but higher doses are needed for MIC = 16 mg/L when CLCR > 100 mL/min. For 100% fT>4×MIC, the highest dose (24 g/24 h) was not sufficient to ensure adequate exposure, except for MICs of 1 and 4 mg/L. Our model can be used as a support tool for initial dose guidance and during therapeutic drug monitoring.

Piperacillin Population Pharmacokinetics and Dosing Regimen Optimization in Critically Ill Children Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2022; 66:e0113522.

Abstract
We aimed to develop a piperacillin population pharmacokinetic (PK) model in critically ill children receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and to optimize dosing regimens. The piperacillin plasma concentration was quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Piperacillin PK was investigated using a nonlinear mixed-effect modeling approach. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to compute the optimal scheme of administration according to the target of 100% interdose interval time in which concentration is one to four times above the MIC (100% fT > 1 to 4× MIC). A total of 32 children with a median (interquartile range [IQR]) postnatal age of 2 years (0 to 11), body weight (BW) of 15 kg (6 to 38), and receiving CRRT were included. Concentration-time courses were best described by a one-compartment model with first-order elimination. BW and residual diuresis (Qu) explained some between-subject variabilities on volume of distribution (V), where [Formula: see text], and clearance (CL), where [Formula: see text], where CLpop and Vpop are 6.78 L/h and 55.0 L, respectively, normalized to a 70-kg subject and median residual diuresis of 0.06 mL/kg/h. Simulations with intermittent and continuous administrations for 4 typical patients with different rates of residual diuresis (0, 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 mL/kg/h) showed that continuous infusions were appropriate to attain the PK target for patients with residual diuresis higher than 0.1 mL/kg/h according to BW and MIC, while for anuric patients, less frequent intermittent doses were mandatory to avoid accumulation. Optimal exposure to piperacillin in critically ill children on CRRT should be achieved by using continuous infusions with escalating doses for high-MIC bacteria, except for anuric patients who require less frequent intermittent doses.

Abstract
The challenging severity of some infections, especially in critically ill patients, makes the diffusion of antimicrobial drugs within tissues one of the cornerstones of chemotherapy. The knowledge of how antibacterial agents penetrate tissues may come from different sources: preclinical studies in animal models, phase I–III clinical trials and post-registration studies. However, the particular physiopathology of critically ill patients may significantly alter drug pharmacokinetics. Indeed, changes in interstitial volumes (the third space) and/or in glomerular filtration ratio may influence the achievement of bactericidal concentrations in peripheral compartments, while inflammation can alter the systemic distribution of some drugs. On the contrary, other antibacterial agents may reach high and effective concentrations thanks to the increased tissue accumulation of macrophages and neutrophils. Therefore, the present review explores the tissue distribution of beta-lactams and other antimicrobials acting on the cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria in critically ill patients. A systematic search of articles was performed according to PRISMA guidelines, and tissue/plasma penetration ratios were collected. Results showed a highly variable passage of drugs within tissues, while large interindividual variability may represent a hurdle which must be overcome to achieve therapeutic concentrations in some compartments. To solve that issue, off-label dosing regimens could represent an effective solution in particular conditions.

Intermittent Short-Term Infusion vs. Continuous Infusion of Piperacillin: Steady State Concentrations in Porcine Cervical Spine Tissue Evaluated by Microdialysis. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11070910. [PMID: 35884164 PMCID: PMC9312177 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11070910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Piperacillin is a central drug in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa spondylodiscitis. Intermittent short-term infusion (STI) remains standard treatment in most centres, although the application of continuous infusion (CI) has shown promising results in other clinical settings. We aimed to evaluate time above the minimal inhibitory concentration (fT > MIC) of the free fraction of piperacillin in steady state conditions in porcine cervical spine tissue following CI and STI using microdialysis with MIC targets of 4, 8, and 16 μg/mL. Methods: 16 female pigs were randomized to receive piperacillin/tazobactam as STI (4/0.5 g every 6 h) or CI (4/0.5 g as a bolus followed by 12/1.5 g) for 18 h. Microdialysis catheters were placed for sampling of piperacillin concentrations from the intervertebral disc, vertebral cancellous bone, paravertebral muscle, and adjacent subcutaneous tissue during the third dosing interval (12−18 h). Blood samples were collected as reference. Results: CI resulted in fT > MIC > 82% across all compartments and targets, except for intervertebral disc (37%) and vertebral cancellous bone (28%) at MIC = 16 μg/mL. In Group STI, >72% fT > MIC was reached for MIC = 4 μg/mL in all investigated compartments, while for MIC = 16 μg/mL only subcutaneous tissue exhibited fT > MIC > 50%. Conclusion: CI of piperacillin resulted in higher fT > MIC compared to STI infusion across the investigated tissues and targets. CI should therefore be considered in spondylodiscitis cases requiring piperacillin treatment.

Population pharmacokinetics of piperacillin in critically ill children including those undergoing continuous kidney replacement therapy. Clin Microbiol Infect 2022; 28:1287.e9-1287.e15. [PMID: 35390523 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2022.03.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite that piperacillin-tazobactam combination is commonly used in critically ill children, increasing evidence suggests that the current dosing schedules are not optimal for these patients. The aim of this work is to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for piperacillin to evaluate the efficacy of standard dosing in children with and without kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), and to propose alternative dosing schemes maximizing target attainment. METHODS 429 piperacillin concentrations measured in different matrices, obtained from 32 critically ill children (19 without CKRT, 13 with CKRT) receiving 100 mg/kg of piperacillin/tazobactam every 8 hours (increased to 12h after the 4th dose) were modelled simultaneously using the population approach with NONMEM 7.4. The percentage of patients with 90% fT>MIC and target attainment (percentage of dosing interval above MIC) were estimated for different intermittent and continuous infusions in the studied population. RESULTS Piperacillin PK was best described with a two-compartment model. Renal (CLR), nonrenal (CLM), and hemofilter (CLCKRT) clearances were found to be influenced by the glomerular filtration rate, height (CLR), weight (CLM) and filter surface (CLCKRT). Only 7 (37%) children without CKRT and 7 (54%) with CKRT achieved 90% fT >MIC with the current dosing schedule. Of the alternative regimens evaluated, a 24h continuous infusion of 200 mg/kg (CKRT) and 300 mg/kg (no CKRT) provided 100% fT >MIC(≤16mg/L) and target attainments ≥90% across all evaluated MICs. CONCLUSIONS In children with and without CKRT, standard dosing failed to provide an adequate systemic exposure, while prolonged and continuous infusions showed an improved efficacy.

Pharmacokinetics of piperacillin and tazobactam in critically Ill patients treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy: A mini-review and population pharmacokinetic analysis. J Clin Pharm Ther 2022; 47:1091-1102. [PMID: 35352374 PMCID: PMC9544041 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Timely and appropriate dosing of antibiotics is essential for the treatment of bacterial sepsis. Critically ill patients treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) often have physiologic derangements that affect pharmacokinetics (PK) of antibiotics and dosing may be challenging. We sought to aggregate previously published piperacillin and tazobactam (pip-tazo) pharmacokinetic data in critically ill patients undergoing CKRT to better understand pharmacokinetics of pip-tazo in this population and better inform dosing. METHODS The National Library of Medicine Database was searched for original research containing piperacillin or tazobactam clearance (CL) or volume of distribution (V) estimates in patients treated with CKRT. The search yielded 77 articles, of which 26 reported suitable estimates of CL or V. Of the 26 articles, 10 for piperacillin and 8 for tazobactam had complete information suitable for population pharmacokinetic modelling. Also included in the analysis was piperacillin and tazobactam PK data from 4 critically ill patients treated with CKRT in the Military Health System, 2 with burn and 2 without burn. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Median and range of literature reported PK parameters for piperacillin (CL 2.76 L/hr, 1.4-7.92 L/hr, V 31.2 L, 16.77-42.27 L) and tazobactam (CL 2.34 L/hr, 0.72-5.2 L/hr, V 36.6 L, 26.2-58.87 L) were highly consistent with population estimates (piperacillin CL 2.7 L/hr, 95%CI 1.99-3.41 L/hr, V 25.83 22.07-29.59 L, tazobactam CL 2.49 L/hr, 95%CI 1.55-3.44, V 30.62 95%CI 23.7-37.54). The proportion of patients meeting pre-defined pharmacodynamic (PD) targets (median 88.7, range 71%-100%) was high despite significant mortality (median 44%, range 35%-60%). High mortality was predicted by baseline severity of illness (median APACHE II score 23, range 21-33.25). Choice of lenient or strict PD targets (ie 100%fT >MIC or 100%fT >4XMIC) had the largest impact on probability of target attainment (PTA), whereas presence or intensity of CKRT had minimal impact on PTA. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Pip-tazo overexposure may be associated with increased mortality, although this is confounded by baseline severity of illness. Achieving adequate pip-tazo exposure is essential; however, risk of harm from overexposure should be considered when choosing a PD target and dose. If lenient PD targets are desired, doses of 2250-3375 mg every 6 h are reasonable for most patients receiving CKRT. However, if a strict PD target is desired, continuous infusion (at least 9000-13500 mg per day) may be required. However, some critically ill CKRT populations may need higher or lower doses and dosing strategies should be tailored to individuals based on all available clinical data including the specific critical care setting.

Using a Validated Population Pharmacokinetic Model for Dosing Recommendations of Continuous Infusion Piperacillin for Critically Ill Adult Patients. Clin Pharmacokinet 2022; 61:895-906.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Piperacillin is a broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic commonly prescribed in intensive care units. Many piperacillin population pharmacokinetic models have been published, but few underwent an external evaluation. External evaluation is an important process to determine a model's capability of being generalized to other hospitals. We aimed to assess the predictive performance of these models with an external validation dataset. METHODS Six models were evaluated with a dataset consisting of 30 critically ill patients (35 samples) receiving piperacillin by continuous infusion. Models were subject to prediction-based (bias and imprecision) and simulation-based evaluations. When a model had an acceptable evaluation, it was used for dosing simulations to evaluate the probability of target attainment. RESULTS Bias and imprecision ranged from - 35.7 to 295% and from 22.7 to 295%, respectively. The models of Klastrup et al. and of Udy et al. were acceptable according to our criteria and were used for dosing simulations. Simulations showed that a loading dose of 4 g followed by a maintenance dose of 16 g/24 h of piperacillin infused continuously was necessary to remain above a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic target set as a minimal inhibitory concentration of 16 mg/L in 90% of patients, for a median patient with a creatinine clearance of 76 mL/min. CONCLUSIONS Despite the considerable variation in the predictive performance of the models with the external validation dataset, this study was able to validate two of these models and led to the elaboration of a dosing nomogram for piperacillin by continuous infusion that can be used by clinicians in intensive care units.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Flucloxacillin In Bone and Soft Tissue- Standard Dosing is Not Sufficient to Achieve Therapeutic Concentrations. Pharm Res 2022; 39:1633-1643.

Abstract
PURPOSE Flucloxacillin is a β-lactam penicillin commonly used in the treatment of bone and soft tissue infections. In a recent porcine study, we found surprisingly low time for which the free concentration was maintained above the minimal inhibitory concentration (fT>MIC) in bone and soft tissue, following flucloxacillin oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) administration at 1g every 6h (q6h). In addition to plasma, sampling was obtained from subcutaneous tissue, knee joint, cancellous bone and cortical bone, using microdialysis. To identify flucloxacillin dosing regimens that result in theoretically therapeutic concentrations, we developed a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for the porcine data, and combined it with a human flucloxacillin population PK model for simulations. METHODS A four-compartment model was developed, and various dosing regimens and modes of administration were simulated. Predicted concentrations were compared to %fT>MIC (0.5 mg/L and 2 mg/L). RESULTS Continuous infusion (CI) resulted in higher %fT>MIC compared to intermittent administration. For intermittent IV dosing (4, 8 and 12g/24h), fT>MIC (0.5 mg/L) was ≥70% in plasma, and ranged between 42-96% in the sampled tissue in a typical individual. By applying CI, 4g/day was sufficient to achieve ≥98% fT>MIC (0.5 mg/L) in all sampled tissues. For MIC 2 mg/L, ≥50% fT>MIC was only achieved in plasma at CI 8 and 12g/24h and IV 3g q6h. CONCLUSIONS To reach efficacious flucloxacillin bone and tissue concentrations, dose increment or continuous infusion needs to be considered.

A personalised approach to antibiotic pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in critically ill patients. Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med 2021; 40:100970.

Abstract
Critically ill patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with severe infections, or those who develop nosocomial infections, have poor outcomes with substantial morbidity and mortality. Such patients commonly have suboptimal antibiotic exposures at routinely used antibiotic doses related to an increased volume of distribution and altered clearance due to their underlying altered physiology. Furthermore, the use of extracorporeal devices such as renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in these group of patients also has the potential to alter in vivo drug concentrations. Moreover, ICU patients are likely to be infected with less-susceptible pathogens. Therefore, one potential contributing cause to the poor outcomes observed in critically ill patients may be related to subtherapeutic antibiotic exposures. Newer concepts include the clinician considering optimised dosing based on a blood antibiotic exposure defined by pharmacokinetic modelling and therapeutic drug monitoring, combined with a knowledge of the antibiotic penetration into the site of infection, thereby achieving optimal bacterial killing. Such optimised dosing is likely to improve patient outcomes. The aim of this review is to highlight key aspects of antibiotic pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) in critically ill patients and provide a PK/PD approach to tailor antibiotic dosing to the individual patient.

Abstract
After a major outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) starting in late December 2019, there were no new cases reported in mainland China for the first time on March 18, 2020, and no new cases reported in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on April 20, 2020. However, these places had reported new cases and experienced a second wave since June 11, 2020. Here we develop a stochastic discrete-time epidemic model to evaluate the risk of COVID-19 resurgence by analyzing the data from the beginning of the outbreak to the second wave in these three places. In the model, we use an input parameter to represent a few potential risks that may cause a second wave, including asymptomatic infection, imported cases from other places, and virus from the environment such as frozen food packages. The effect of physical distancing restrictions imposed at different stages of the outbreak is also included in the model. Model simulations show that the magnitude of the input and the time between the initial entry and subsequent case confirmation significantly affect the probability of the second wave occurrence. Although the susceptible population size does not change the probability of resurgence, it can influence the severity of the outbreak when a second wave occurs. Therefore, to prevent the occurrence of a future wave, timely screening and detection are needed to identify infected cases in the early stage of infection. When infected cases appear, various measures such as contact tracing and quarantine should be followed to reduce the size of susceptible population in order to mitigate the COVID-19 outbreak.

Evaluation of Benzylpenicillin as an Internal Standard for Measurement of Piperacillin Bone Concentrations Via Microdialysis. J Pharm Sci 2021; 110:3500-3506. [PMID: 34102200 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2021.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Microdialysis is a pharmacokinetic tool that can be advantageous when obtaining tissues' pharmacokinetic information. Since absolute extracellular tissue concentrations are needed in pharmacokinetic studies, calibrating the microdialysis system is necessary. The internal standard method is superior when compared to other calibration methods. However, thorough evaluation of the internal standard is required before it can be used. In vitro experiments and an in vivo study on pigs (n = 8) were conducted to assess the relative recoveries by gain and by loss for piperacillin, both with and without a benzylpenicillin concentration of 5 µg/mL. Furthermore, the in vivo setup allowed for an evaluation of piperacillin cancellous bone and subcutaneous tissue concentrations in a single 8 h dosing interval. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) was used to determine piperacillin and benzylpenicillin concentrations. Relative recovery by loss for benzylpenicillin and relative recovery by gain for piperacillin were similar in in vitro and in vivo. Presence of benzylpenicillin did not affect the relative recovery for piperacillin. Relative recovery, pharmacokinetic parameters and fT>MIC were similar when comparing the retrodialysis by drug and the internal standard calibration methods (p > 0.31). Mean fT>MIC (16 µg/mL) for plasma, cancellous bone and subcutaneous tissue were 232 min, 255 min and 295 min, respectively. Our findings suggest that benzylpenicillin is suitable as an internal standard for piperacillin in microdialysis studies. Mean fT>MIC (16 µg/mL) for plasma, cancellous bone, and subcutaneous tissue reached a target of 50% fT>MIC under the investigated conditions (mean range: 52%-66%); however, the target was not obtained in all pigs in all compartments. Moreover, 100% fT>MIC was not obtained in any case, suggesting that different strategies must be taken into consideration if higher targets are employed.

Abstract
Piperacillin-tazobactam is a potent β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor antibiotic commonly prescribed in the intensive care unit setting. Admitted patients often show large variability in treatment response due to multiple pathophysiological changes present in this population that alter the drug's pharmacokinetics. This review summarizes the population pharmacokinetic models developed for piperacillin-tazobactam and provides comprehensive data on current dosing strategies while identifying significant covariates in critically ill patients. A literature search on the PubMed database was conducted, from its inception to July 2020. Relevant articles were retained if they met the defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. A total of ten studies, published between 2009 and 2020, were eligible. One- and two-compartment models were used in two and eight studies, respectively. The lowest estimated piperacillin clearance value was 3.12 L/h, and the highest value was 19.9 L/h. The estimations for volume of distribution varied between 11.2 and 41.2 L. Tazobactam clearance values ranged between 5.1 and 6.78 L/h, and tazobactam volume of distribution values ranged between 17.5 and 76.1 L. The most frequent covariates were creatinine clearance and body weight, each present in four studies. Almost all studies used an exponential approach for the interindividual variability. The highest variability was observed in piperacillin central volume of distribution, at a value of 75.0%. Simulations showed that continuous or extended infusion methods performed better than intermittent administration to achieve appropriate pharmacodynamic targets. This review synthesizes important pharmacokinetic elements for piperacillin-tazobactam in an intensive care unit setting. This will help clinicians better understand changes in the drug's pharmacokinetic parameters in this specific population.

Abstract
Aims Flucloxacillin is commonly administered intravenously for perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis, while oral administration is typical for prophylaxis following smaller traumatic wounds. We assessed the time, for which the free flucloxacillin concentration was maintained above the minimum inhibitory concentration (fT > MIC) for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in soft and bone tissue, after intravenous and oral administration, using microdialysis in a porcine model. Methods A total of 16 pigs were randomly allocated to either intravenous (Group IV) or oral (Group PO) flucloxacillin 1 g every six hours during a 24-hour period. Microdialysis was used for sampling in cancellous and cortical bone, subcutaneous tissue, and the knee joint. In addition, plasma was sampled. The flucloxacillin fT > MIC was evaluated using a low MIC target (0.5 μg/ml) and a high MIC target (2.0 μg/ml). Results Intravenous administration resulted in longer fT > MIC (0.5 μg/ml) compared to oral administration, except for cortical bone. In Group IV, all pigs reached a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml in all compartments. The mean fT > MIC (0.5 μg/ml) was 149 minutes (95% confidence interval (CI) 119 to 179; range 68 to 323) in subcutaneous tissue and 61 minutes (95% CI 29 to 94; range 0 to 121) to 106 minutes (95% CI 76 to 136; range 71 to 154) in bone tissue. In Group PO, 0/8 pigs reached a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml in all compartments. For the high MIC target (2.0 μg/ml), fT > MIC was close to zero minutes in both groups across compartments. Conclusion Although intravenous administration of flucloxacillin 1 g provided higher fT > MIC for the low MIC target compared to oral administration, concentrations were surprisingly low, particularly for bone tissue. Achievement of sufficient bone and soft tissue flucloxacillin concentrations may require a dose increase or continuous administration. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2021;10(1):60–67.

Infect Drug Resist 2020; 13:4155-4166.

Abstract
Objective There is a paucity of published data to evaluate the efficacy and safety of imipenem (IPM) and piperacillin-tazobactam (PT) dosing regimens in the treatment of septic patients acquiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods and Materials Critically-ill patients were grouped into short-stay and long-stay intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Pathogens were isolated from bloodstream infections in these patients. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value was determined by agar dilution method. Population PK models were introduced in this study, and differences in the likelihood of achieving efficacious and toxic exposures of IPM and PT for critically-ill patients were assessed. Results A total of 86 K. pneumoniae bloodstream infection associated isolates were collected, and the MIC50 and MIC90 for short-stay ICU patients were 0.5/4 mg/L and 32/128 mg/L, respectively. IMP 0.5g q8h reached 90% probability of target attainment (PTA) against isolates with MICs ≤2 mg/L and was recommended to empirically treat short-stay ICU patients during CRRT based on the target of 40% ƒT>MIC. However, based on a more aggressive target of 100% ƒT>MIC, all the simulated IMP regimens except for IMP 1g q6h failed to achieve >80% cumulative fraction of response (CFR) in such patients. Unfortunately, the risk of drug-related toxicity for IMP 1g q6h was relatively high (50–85%). For PT, even the regimen of 4/0.5g q6h failed to provide sufficient antimicrobial exposure in short-stay ICU patients acquiring CRRT. Conclusion No dose adjustment was required for the conventional IMP and PT regimens in the critically-ill population acquiring CRRT. Empirical treatment of IMP 0.5g q8h/q6h, not for PT, may provide sufficient antimicrobial exposure for short-stay ICU patients during CRRT. PT should be used in the knowledge of MIC results.
