Population pharmacokinetics and humanized dosage regimens matching the peak, area, trough, and range of amikacin plasma concentrations in immune-competent murine bloodstream and lung infection models.

Abstract
Amikacin is an FDA-approved aminoglycoside antibiotic that is commonly used. However, validated dosage regimens that achieve clinically relevant exposure profiles in mice are lacking. We aimed to design and validate humanized dosage regimens for amikacin in immune-competent murine bloodstream and lung infection models of Acinetobacter baumannii. Plasma and lung epithelial lining fluid (ELF) concentrations after single subcutaneous doses of 1.37, 13.7, and 137 mg/kg of body weight were simultaneously modeled via population pharmacokinetics. Then, humanized amikacin dosage regimens in mice were designed and prospectively validated to match the peak, area, trough, and range of plasma concentration profiles in critically ill patients (clinical dose: 25-30 mg/kg of body weight). The pharmacokinetics of amikacin were linear, with a clearance of 9.93 mL/h in both infection models after a single dose. However, the volume of distribution differed between models, resulting in an elimination half-life of 48 min for the bloodstream and 36 min for the lung model. The drug exposure in ELF was 72.7% compared to that in plasma. After multiple q6h dosing, clearance decreased by ~80% from the first (7.35 mL/h) to the last two dosing intervals (~1.50 mL/h) in the bloodstream model. Likewise, clearance decreased by 41% from 7.44 to 4.39 mL/h in the lung model. The humanized dosage regimens were 117 mg/kg of body weight/day in mice [administered in four fractions 6 h apart (q6h): 61.9%, 18.6%, 11.3%, and 8.21% of total dose] for the bloodstream and 96.7 mg/kg of body weight/day (given q6h as 65.1%, 16.9%, 10.5%, and 7.41%) for the lung model. These validated humanized dosage regimens and population pharmacokinetic models support translational studies with clinically relevant amikacin exposure profiles.

In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility data of global meropenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates causing pneumonia: Data from the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance Program, 2014-2021, and re-estimations of susceptibility breakpoints and appropriate dosages of important antibiotics for pneumonia treatment. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2024; 36:411-418. [PMID: 38331030 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2024.01.019] [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: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the susceptibility of globally pneumonia-causing meropenem-resistant (MEM-R) Acinetobacter baumannii isolates against important antibiotics and estimate appropriate dosages of indicated antibiotics. METHODS We extracted the 2014-2021 Antimicrobial Testing of Leadership Surveillance database regarding the susceptibility of MEM-R A. baumannii isolates causing pneumonia against important antibiotics. The susceptibility and carbapenemase-encoding gene (CPEG) data of pneumonia-causing MEM-R A. baumannii isolates from patients hospitalized in intensive care units of five major regions were analyzed. The susceptibility breakpoints (SBP) recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in 2022, other necessary criteria [SBP of MIC for colistin, 2 mg/L, in the CLSI 2018; and cefoperazone-sulbactam (CFP-SUL), 16 mg/L], and the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of indicated antibiotics were employed. RESULTS Applying the aforementioned criteria, we observed the susceptible rates of colistin, minocycline, and CFP-SUL against the pneumonia-causing MEM-R A. baumannii isolates globally (n = 2905) were 93.2%, 69.1%, and 26.3%, respectively. Minocycline was significantly more active in vitro (MIC ≤4 mg/L) against the pneumonia-causing MEM-R A. baumannii isolates collected from North and South America compared to those from other regions (>90% vs. 58-72%). Additionally, blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-72 were the predominant CPEG in pneumonia-causing MEM-R A. baumannii isolates. CONCLUSIONS After deliberative estimations, dosages of 200 mg minocycline intravenously every 12 h (SBP, 8 mg/L), 100 mg tigecycline intravenously every 12 h (SBP, 1 mg/L), and 160 mg nebulized colistin methanesulphonate every 8 h (SBP, 2 mg/L) are needed for the effective treatment of pneumonia-causing MEM-R A. baumannii isolates.

Improved characterization of aminoglycoside penetration into human lung epithelial lining fluid via population pharmacokinetics. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2024; 68:e0139323. [PMID: 38169309 PMCID: PMC10848756 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01393-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Aminoglycosides are important treatment options for serious lung infections, but modeling analyses to quantify their human lung epithelial lining fluid (ELF) penetration are lacking. We estimated the extent and rate of penetration for five aminoglycosides via population pharmacokinetics from eight published studies. The area under the curve in ELF vs plasma ranged from 50% to 100% and equilibration half-lives from 0.61 to 5.80 h, indicating extensive system hysteresis. Aminoglycoside ELF peak concentrations were blunted, but overall exposures were moderately high.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus species complex and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia are opportunistic, non-fermentative Gram-negative organisms that can cause serious hospital-acquired infections in immunocompromised patients. These pathogens are inherently resistant to several common drug classes and often acquire other resistance mechanisms, making them difficult to treat. In this study, we analyzed the trends of susceptibility of over 2,500 U.S. bacterial isolates collected from hospitalized patients over an 8-year period to minocycline, which is used to treat infections caused by these pathogens. These in vitro data suggest that minocycline is a useful treatment option for infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus species complex or Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
