Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic target attainment analysis of cefazolin using total and unbound serum concentration in patients with prostatectomy or nephrectomy. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2024:e0026724. [PMID: 38771029 DOI: 10.1128/aac.00267-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the population pharmacokinetics of total and unbound concentrations of prophylactic cefazolin (CFZ) in patients with prostatectomy or nephrectomy. We also aimed to calculate a pharmacodynamics target unbound concentration that exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), to design an effective dosing regimen. Briefly, 614 total concentration and 610 unbound concentration samples from 152 individuals were evaluated, using a nonlinear mixed-effects model. The obtained pharmacodynamics index target value reflected the probability of maintaining CFZ unbound trough concentrations exceeding MIC90, 0.5 mg/L, and MIC50, and 1.0 mg/L, to account for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) or Escherichia coli. Population pharmacokinetics were estimated using a two-compartment model with nonlinear protein binding. Unbound systemic clearance (CL) was significantly associated with creatinine clearance, while the maximum protein-binding constant was significantly associated with albumin levels. The probability of achieving an unbound concentration exceeding the MIC50 for E. coli or MIC90 for MSSA in a patient with normal renal function following a 1 g CFZ infusion over 15 min was above 90% at 3 h after the initial dose. Our findings indicated that population pharmacokinetic parameters are useful for determining unbound CFZ pharmacokinetics and evaluating intraoperative CFZ redosing intervals.

Impact of control measures including decolonization and hand hygiene for orthopaedic surgical site infection caused by MRSA at a Japanese tertiary-care hospital. J Hosp Infect 2024; 146:151-159.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common pathogen in orthopaedic surgical site infections (SSIs). However, few studies have investigated the transmission process of orthopaedic MRSA SSI. AIM To investigate the transmission process of orthopaedic MRSA SSI using epidemiological and molecular analyses and to determine a method to prevent MRSA SSI in nosocomial orthopaedic surgery. METHODS Active MRSA surveillance, preoperative decolonization and contact precautions for MRSA-positive cases was performed at our institution. Changes in epidemic strains were evaluated and the possibility of transmission from patients in an orthopaedic ward of a Japanese tertiary-care hospital was assessed by genotyping stored MRSA strains. In addition, data on the prevalence of MRSA SSI, MRSA colonization, and use of an alcohol antiseptic agent (mL/patient-days) during 2005-2022 were retrospectively assessed. FINDINGS SCCmec type II strain in the SSI group decreased over time, associated with fewer outbreaks. Even during a period of high infection rates, no cases of transmission-induced SSI from nasal MRSA carriers were identified. The infection rate correlated negatively with the use of an alcohol antiseptic agent (r = -0.82; P < 0.0001). Two cases among five nasal carriers developed MRSA SSI caused by strains different from those related to nasal colonization. CONCLUSION The infection control measures for transmission from the hospital reservoirs including strict adherence to hand hygiene and decolonization of carriers is likely to be important for the prevention of orthopaedic MRSA SSI. However, the need for contact precautions for decolonized nasal carriers might be low.

J Infect Chemother 2024; 30:118-122. [PMID: 37739180 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2023.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of colonic diverticulitis is increasing in Japan. Although antimicrobial chemotherapy is a treatment option, Japanese guidelines for diverticulosis do not recommend any antibiotic in particular and antibiotic selection is left to the discretion of the prescribing physician, who often selects antibiotics with anti-pseudomonal activity. Therefore, this study compared the efficacy of cefmetazole (CMZ) with that of tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) in hospitalized Japanese immunocompetent patients with uncomplicated colonic diverticulitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included Japanese immunocompetent patients hospitalized for colonic diverticulitis between April 2019 and March 2022. Participants were divided into the CMZ and TAZ/PIPC groups. After propensity score matching, the intergroup differences in clinical outcomes, including adverse events, mortality, and re-admission rate, were ascertained. RESULTS During the study period, 142 Japanese patients were hospitalized with community-onset colonic diverticulitis; 124 of these patients were immunocompetent. Of the 124 patients, 42 were excluded, and the CMZ and TAZ/PIPC groups comprised 62 and 20 patients, respectively. After propensity score matching, there were 16 patients in each group. There was no significant intergroup difference in the mortality and re-admission rates; however, the incidence of liver dysfunction was significantly higher (p = 0.018) in the TAZ/PIPC group. CONCLUSION In patients with colonic diverticulitis, CMZ therapy should be selected because of the adequate clinical outcomes and lower incidence of adverse events, as this would reduce broad-spectrum antibiotic use and minimize antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaerobes are normal flora of the human body. However, they can cause serious infections in humans. Anaerobic bacteria are known to cause respiratory infections like pneumonia and acute exacerbation of chronic lower airway infections. These are often missed due to the complexity of their isolation and identification. Hence, this study aimed to study anaerobes causing respiratory tract infections and determine their antibiotic susceptibility. MATERIALS & METHODS Clinical specimens such as bronchial aspirates and pleural aspirates collected from patients with respiratory diseases attending Vallabhbhai Patel Chest Institute were processed, the anaerobes isolated were identified, and their susceptibilities to various groups of antimicrobials were studied using standard microbiological methods. RESULTS Three hundred and fourteen patients were included in the study, 154 males and 160 females. Of these 314 patients, 148 (47%) yielded anaerobes in their clinical samples. Seventy patients had more than one type of anaerobic organism. Hence, 235 isolates were recovered belonging to as many as 17 genera. The MIC of seven antibiotics on 154 isolates was tested. The isolates belonged mostly to the genera Bacteroides, Prevotella, Veillonella, and Actinomyces. Variable resistance was observed to most classes of antibiotics by many genera. CONCLUSIONS Metronidazole is commonly used against anaerobes, but the study showed that the isolates were 20-30% resistant to the antibiotic. Starting this as an empirical therapy might lead to treatment failure.

Abstract
Anaerobic bacteria are normal inhabitants of the human commensal microbiota and play an important role in various human infections. Tedious and time-consuming, antibiotic susceptibility testing is not routinely performed in all clinical microbiology laboratories, despite the increase in antibiotic resistance among clinically relevant anaerobes since the 1990s. β-lactam and metronidazole are the key molecules in the management of anaerobic infections, to the detriment of clindamycin. β-lactam resistance is usually mediated by the production of β-lactamases. Metronidazole resistance remains uncommon, complex, and not fully elucidated, while metronidazole inactivation appears to be a key mechanism. The use of clindamycin, a broad-spectrum anti-anaerobic agent, is becoming problematic due to the increase in resistance rate in all anaerobic bacteria, mainly mediated by Erm-type rRNA methylases. Second-line anti-anaerobes are fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, and linezolid. This review aims to describe the up-to-date evolution of antibiotic resistance, give an overview, and understand the main mechanisms of resistance in a wide range of anaerobes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cefmetazole (CMZ) has gained interest as a carbapenem-sparing alternative to the epidemic of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E). In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CMZ in plasma, peritoneal fluid, peritoneum, and subcutaneous adipose tissue to assess the dosing regimen needed to achieve pharmacodynamic (PD) goals at the target site. METHODS Patients scheduled for elective lower gastrointestinal surgery were intravenously administered CMZ. Plasma, peritoneal fluid, peritoneum, and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were collected after CMZ infusion and during the surgery, and CMZ concentrations were measured. The non-compartmental and compartmental PK parameters were estimated and used to evaluate site-specific PD target attainment. RESULTS A total of 38 plasma, 27 peritoneal fluid, 36 peritoneum, and 38 subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were collected from 10 patients. The non-compartmental PK analysis revealed the ratios of the mean area under the drug concentration-time curve (AUC0-3.5 h) of peritoneal fluid-to-plasma, peritoneum-to-plasma, and subcutaneous adipose tissue-to-plasma were 0.60, 0.36, and 0.11, respectively. The site-specific PD target attainment analyses based on the breakpoints for ESBL-E per the Japanese surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance (MIC90 = 8 mg/L) revealed that 2 g CMZ every 3.5 h achieved desired bactericidal effect at all sites and 2 g CMZ every 6 h achieved PD goals at peritoneum and peritoneal fluid. CONCLUSION These findings clarify the PK of CMZ in abdominal tissues and could help decide optimal dosing regimens to treat intra-abdominal infection and prophylaxis of SSI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Flomoxef is generally used to treat abdominal infections and as antibiotic prophylaxis during lower gastrointestinal surgery. It is reportedly effective against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and an increasingly valuable alternative to carbapenems. However, its abdominal pharmacokinetics remain unclear. Herein, pharmacokinetic analysis of flomoxef in the abdominal tissue was conducted to simulate dosing regimens for pharmacodynamic target attainment in abdominal sites. METHODS Flomoxef (1 g) was administered intravenously to a patient 30 min before commencing elective lower gastrointestinal surgery. Samples of plasma, peritoneal fluid, peritoneum, and subcutaneous adipose tissue were collected during surgery. The flomoxef tissue concentrations were measured. Accordingly, non-compartmental and compartmental pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated, and simulations were conducted to evaluate site-specific pharmacodynamic target values. RESULTS Overall, 41 plasma samples, 34 peritoneal fluid samples, 38 peritoneum samples, and 41 subcutaneous adipose samples from 10 patients were collected. The mean peritoneal fluid-to-plasma ratio in the areas under the drug concentration-time curve was 0.68, the mean peritoneum-to-plasma ratio was 0.40, and the mean subcutaneous adipose tissue-to-plasma was 0.16. The simulation based on these results showed the dosing regimens (q8h [3 g/day] and q6h [4 g/day]) achieved the bactericidal effect (% T > minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] = 40%) in all tissues at an MIC of 1 mg/L. CONCLUSIONS We elucidated the pharmacokinetics of flomoxef and simulated pharmacodynamics target attainment in the abdominal tissue. This study provides evidence concerning the use of optimal dosing regimens for treating abdominal infection caused by strains like ESBL-producing bacteria.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) have been caused not only by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but also by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales members. Ceftolozane-tazobactam (CTLZ-TAZ) is considered to exhibit therapeutic effects against cIAI. Studies on the concentrations of antibiotics in abdominal tissues directly affected by cIAI are limited. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics of CTLZ-TAZ in abdominal tissue and simulated the administration regimen required to achieve the pharmacodynamic target for cIAI-causing bacteria. METHODS Patients scheduled for elective lower gastrointestinal surgery were intravenously administered preoperative CTLZ-TAZ (1 g CTLZ and 0.5 g TAZ). Plasma, peritoneal fluid, peritoneum, and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were collected during the surgery, and CTLZ as well as TAZ concentrations were measured. The noncompartmental and compartmental pharmacokinetic parameters were then estimated. Site-specific pharmacodynamic target attainment analysis using 1.5 g of CTLZ-TAZ was performed. RESULTS CTLZ-TAZ was administered to nine patients (once to five patients and twice to four patients). The mean peritoneal fluid-to-plasma ratio (one dose/two doses) for CTLZ was 0.74/1.15, which was slightly higher than the mean peritoneal fluid-to-plasma ratio for TAZ (0.95/1.13). The ratio for subcutaneous adipose was lower than those for peritoneal fluid and peritoneum tissues. We also discovered that the average ratio of CTLZ and TAZ concentrations in all tissues was maintained at or above 2:1. In our investigation of pharmacodynamic target attainment in each tissue, the desired bactericidal effect was attained with all CTLZ-TAZ (1.5 g) administration regimens [q12h (3 g/day), q8h (4.5 g/day), and q6h (6 g/day)]. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the optimal pharmacodynamic level of CTLZ-TAZ in the abdominal tissue against cIAI-causing bacteria. This study also serves as a guideline for designing an optimal administration regimen based on pharmacodynamic target attainment for cIAI-causing bacteria.

Abstract
The target therapeutic ranges of vancomycin, teicoplanin, and arbekacin have been determined, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is performed in clinical practice. However, TDM is not obligatory for daptomycin, linezolid, or tedizolid. In this study, we examined whether TDM will be necessary for these 3 drugs in the future. There was no significant difference in therapeutic effects on acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection between linezolid and tedizolid by meta-analysis. Concerning the therapeutic effects on pneumonia, the rate of effectiveness after treatment with tedizolid was significantly lower than with linezolid. With respect to safety, the incidences of gastrointestinal adverse events and blood/lymphatic system disorders related to tedizolid were significantly lower than those related to linezolid. Linezolid exhibits potent therapeutic effects on pneumonia, but the appearance of adverse reactions is indicated as a problem. There was a dose-dependent decrease in the platelet count, and the target trough concentration (Ctrough) was estimated to be 4-6 or 2-7 µg/mL in accordance with the patient's condition. The efficacy of linezolid may be obtained while minimizing the appearance of adverse reactions by performing TDM. The target therapeutic range of tedizolid cannot be achieved in immunocompromised or severe patients. Therefore, we concluded that TDM was unnecessary, considering step-down therapy with oral drugs, use in non-severe patients, and high-level safety. Concerning daptomycin, high-dose administration is necessary to achieve an area under the curve (AUC) of ≥666 as an index of efficacy. To secure its safety, Ctrough (<20 µg/mL) monitoring is important. Therefore, TDM is necessary.

Time for Some Group Therapy: Update on Identification, Antimicrobial Resistance, Taxonomy, and Clinical Significance of the Bacteroides fragilis Group. J Clin Microbiol 2022; 60:e0236120.

Abstract
Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) species are common members of the human microbiota that provide several benefits to healthy hosts, yet BFG are also the most common anaerobes isolated from human infections, including intra-abdominal infections, abscesses, and bloodstream infection. Compared to many other anaerobes associated with disease, members of the BFG are more likely to be resistant to commonly used antimicrobials, including penicillin (>90% resistant), carbapenems (2 to 20% resistant), and metronidazole (0.2 to 4% resistant). As a result, infection with BFG bacteria can be associated with poor clinical outcomes. Here, we discuss the role of BFG in human health and disease, proposed taxonomic reclassifications within the BFG, and updates in methods for species-level identification. The increasing availability of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) supports recent proposals that the BFG now span two families (Bacteroidaceae and "Tannerellaceae") and multiple genera (Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and Phocaeicola) within the phylum Bacteroidota. While members of the BFG are often reported to "group" rather than "species" level in many clinical settings, new reports of species-specific trends in antimicrobial resistance profiles and improved resolution of identification tools support routine species-level reporting in clinical practice. Empirical therapy may not be adequate for treatment of serious infections with BFG, warranting susceptibility testing for serious infections. We summarize methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and resistance prediction for BFG, including broth microdilution, agar dilution, WGS, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). We examine global trends in BFG antimicrobial resistance and review genomics of BFG, revealing insights into rapid activation and dissemination of numerous antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.

Rapid detection and surveillance of cfiA-positive Bacteroides fragilis using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Anaerobe 2021; 72:102448. [PMID: 34537378 DOI: 10.1016/j.anaerobe.2021.102448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform surveillance of cfiA-positive Bacteroides fragilis using new subtyping software module, MALDI Biotyper Subtyping Module (MBT Subtyping Module), on MALDI-TOF MS system, and to evaluate the detection ability of the module. METHODS cfiA-positive strains were presumed using the module against B. fragilis isolated between 2006 and 2019. The cfiA gene was confirmed using PCR. In cfiA-positive B. fragilis, the insertion sequence (IS) elements were examined and the MBT STAR-BL assay was performed to examine meropenem hydrolysis activity. RESULTS Of the 396 B. fragilis strains included, the MBT Subtyping Module detected 33 presumptive cfiA-positive strains (8.3%), of which 32 harbored the cfiA gene. The sensitivity and specificity of the MBT Subtyping Module for detecting cfiA-positive B. fragilis were 100.0% and 99.7%, respectively. Of the 32 strains harboring the cfiA gene, seven strains possessed IS elements, which were thought to induce high cfiA expression. Meropenem hydrolysis was detected in all seven strains that were positive for both cfiA and IS elements, and they exhibited resistance to meropenem and imipenem. The overall non-susceptibility rates to meropenem and imipenem were 84.8% and 36.4%, respectively, in the 33 presumptive cfiA-positive strains. CONCLUSION The MBT Subtyping Module can detect cfiA-positive B. fragilis rapidly and accurately, supporting its use for surveillance of cfiA-positive B. fragilis in clinical settings.
