Abstract
Antibiotics that are efficacious for infectious pancreatitis are present in pancreatic exocrine secretion (PES) after intravenous administration and above minimal inhibitory concentrations. We measured concentrations of four antibiotics by tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy in plasma and PES after enteral administration to juvenile pigs with jugular catheters and re-entrant pancreatic-duodenal catheters. Nystatin, which is not absorbed by the intestine nor used for infectious pancreatitis (negative control), was not detected in plasma or PES. Concentrations of amoxicillin increased in plasma after administration (p = 0.035), but not in PES (p = 0.51). Metronidazole and enrofloxacin that are used for infectious pancreatitis increased in plasma after enteral administration and even more so in PES, with concentrations in PES averaging 3.1 (±0.5)- and 2.3 (±0.6)-fold higher than in plasma, respectively (p's < 0.001). The increase in enrofloxacin in PES relative to plasma was lower after intramuscular administration (1.8 ± 0.5; p = 0.001). The present results demonstrate the presence of a selective and concentrative enteropancreatic pathway of secretion for some antibiotics. Unlike the regulated secretion of bile, the constitutive secretion of PES and intestinal reabsorption may provide a continuous exposure of pancreas tissue and the small intestine to recirculated antibiotics and potentially other therapeutic molecules. There is a need to better understand the enteropancreatic recirculation of antibiotics and the associated mechanisms.

Sun P, Zhao T, Xiao H, Wang J, Zhang S, Cao X. The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of an amoxicillin-clavulanic acid granular combination after intravenous and oral administration in swine. J Vet Pharmacol Ther 2020; 44:126-130. [PMID: 33063331 DOI: 10.1111/jvp.12916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
The pharmacokinetic behaviours of amoxicillin (AMX) and clavulanic acid (CA) in swine were studied after either an intravenous or oral administration of AMX (10 mg/kg) and CA (2.5 mg/kg). The concentrations of these two medicines in swine plasma were determined using high-performance liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometry, and the data were analysed using a noncompartmental model with the WinNonlin software. After intravenous administration, both substances were absorbed rapidly and reached their effective therapeutic concentration quickly. CA was eliminated more slowly compared with AMX. Moreover, the distribution volume of AMX was larger than that of CA, suggesting that AMX could penetrate tissues better. After oral administration of the granular formulation, no significant difference was observed in the mean elimination half-life value between AMX and CA. The mean maximal plasma concentrations of AMX and CA, reached after 1.14 and 1.32 hr, were 2.58 and 1.91 μg/m, respectively. The mean oral bioavailability of AMX and CA was 23.6% and 26.4%, respectively. After oral administration, the T>MIC50 for three common respiratory pathogens was over 6.12 hr. Therefore, oral administration could be more effective in the clinical therapy of pigs, especially when administered twice daily.

Abstract
A new compound granular premix of amoxicillin (20% w/w dry mass)/apramycin (5% w/w dry mass) was developed, and its pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability were determined in pigs following oral administration following a cross-over study design. The pharmacokinetic parameters of amoxicillin (t1/2λ = 6.43 ± 4.85h, Cmax = 3.2 ± 1.35 μg·mL-1, Tmax = 1.92 ± 0.58, AUCINF = 8.98 ± 2.11 h·μg·mL-1) and apramycin (t1/2λ = 8.67±4.4h, Cmax = 0.23 ± 0.12 μg·mL-1, Tmax = 2.25 ± 0.82 h, AUCINF = 12.37 ± 8.64h·μg·mL-1) when administered as the amoxicillin-apramycin granular premix did not significantly differ from those for the single-ingredient powder form of each component. The relative bioavailability of amoxicillin following oral administration of the amoxicillin-apramycin granular premix was 22.62% when compared to the intramuscular administration of commercial amoxicillin sodium-powder. This is the first report of a new amoxicillin-apramycin combination which has a potential veterinary application the for prevention and treatment digestive tract infections in pigs.

The effects of amoxicillin treatment of newborn piglets on the prevalence of hernias and abscesses, growth and ampicillin resistance of intestinal coliform bacteria in weaned pigs. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0172150. [PMID: 28199379 PMCID: PMC5310895 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0172150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2016] [Accepted: 01/31/2017] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of a single amoxicillin treatment of newborn piglets on the prevalence of hernias and abscesses until the age of nine weeks. We also studied whether the treatment was associated with growth and mortality, the need for treatment of other diseases, the proportions of ampicillin resistant coliforms and antimicrobial resistance patterns of intestinal Escherichia coli (E. coli). A total of 7156 piglets, from approximately 480 litters, were divided into two treatment groups: ANT (N = 3661) and CON (N = 3495), where piglets were treated with or without a single intramuscular injection of 75 mg amoxicillin one day after birth, respectively. The umbilical and inguinal areas of weaned pigs were palpated at four and nine weeks of age. At the same time, altogether 124 pigs with hernias or abscesses and 820 non-defective pigs from three pens per batch were weighed individually. Mortality and the need to treat piglets for other diseases were recorded. Piglet faecal samples were collected from three areas of the floors of each pen at four weeks of age. The prevalence of umbilical hernias or abscesses did not differ between the groups at four weeks of age, but it was higher in the CON group than in the ANT group at nine weeks of age (2.3% vs. 0.7%, P < 0.05). Numbers of inguinal hernias and abscesses did not differ between the groups at four or nine weeks of age. The ANT group, when it compared with the CON group, increased the weight gain between four and nine weeks of age (LS means ± SE; 497.5 g/d ± 5.0 vs. 475.3 g/d ± 4.9, P < 0.01), and decreased piglet mortality (19.5% ± 1.0 vs. 6.9% ± 1.0, P < 0.05) and the need to treat the piglets for leg problems (3.4% ± 0.3 vs. 1.9% ± 0.3%, P < 0.01) but not for other diseases by the age of four weeks. The proportion of ampicillin resistant intestinal coliform bacteria and the resistance patterns of the E. coli isolates were not different between the ANT and CON groups. In conclusion, our results showed that the amoxicillin treatment of new-born piglets produced statistically significant effect in some of the parameters studied. However, as these effects were only minor, we did not find grounds to recommend preventive antibiotic treatment. Further, continuous antimicrobial treatment of newborn piglets could negatively influence the development of the normal microbiota of the piglet and promote selection of antimicrobial resistance genes in herds. Therefore we suggest rejection of the use of routine administration of antimicrobial agents at birth.

Abstract
A comparison was made in the plasma concentration of the major metabolites of amoxicillin (AMO), i.e. amoxicilloic acid (AMA) and amoxicillin diketopiperazine-2',5'-dione (DIKETO) in portal and jugular venous plasma after oral (p.o.) and intravenous (i.v.) AMO administration to pigs, in order to study a possible presystemic degradation of AMO in the gastro-intestinal tract and liver. Almost identical plasma concentration-time curves were obtained for AMO and its metabolites in portal and jugular venous plasma, both after p.o. and i.v. AMO administration. Almost immediately after i.v. AMO administration, high AMA and DIKETO concentrations were measured in plasma, while after p.o. dosing, the metabolites appeared in plasma after almost complete absorption of AMO. No significant differences in pharmacokinetic parameters of AMO, AMA and DIKETO, derived from the concentration-time profiles in portal and jugular venous plasma were calculated, both after i.v. and p.o. AMO administration (P > 0.05). After p.o. administration, the half-life of elimination (t(1/2(el))) for AMA is at least two or three times the t(1/2(el)) of AMO (0.75 h for AMO vs. 2.69 h for AMA), indicating the slower clearance of the metabolite. It could be hypothesized that AMA is only eliminated by glomerular filtration, as its open beta-lactam structure might not be recognized by the transport carrier in the proximal tubule of the kidney. The results of the study indicate that AMO is not substantially metabolized presystemically in the gut and liver. Therefore, it may be assumed that the kidney may be the major organ for AMO biotransformation. Future in vivo and in vitro experiments should be performed to state this hypothesis.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin (AMX) in blood serum (SBS) and tissue cage fluid (TCF) was studied in sheep. Four tissue cages, prepared from silicone rubber tubing, were subcutaneously inserted in the neck area (two on each side) of the experimental animals and AMX was administered both intravenously (IV) and intramuscularly (IM) at the dose rate of 15mg/kg bodyweight. The impact of local inflammation on AMX distribution in TCF was studied after intra-cavity injection of a lambda carrageenan solution in one of the two tissue cages used after each administration. In contrast to the three-compartment AMX disposition after IV injection, two-compartment, absorption-limited pharmacokinetics was observed after IM administration. Non-inflamed and inflamed TCF data revealed, in all cases, the attainment of low, but prolonged concentrations and absence of an inflammation-induced effect on AMX penetration into and elimination from TCF.

Abstract
A residue depletion study of amoxicillin (AMO) and its major metabolites, amoxicilloic acid (AMA) and amoxicillin diketopiperazine-2',5'-dione, was performed after a single oral (p.o.) and intravenous (i.v.) administration of amoxicillin (20 mg kg (-1)) and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (20 and 5 mg kg (-1)) to pigs. Animals were slaughtered 12, 36, 48, 60, 72, and 84 h after dosing. Tissue samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Kidney samples contained high concentrations of amoxicilloic acid metabolite, which depleted much slower from tissues than amoxicillin, both after p.o. (t1/2AMO = 4.5 h vs t1/2AMA = 8 h) and i.v. (t1/2AMO = 4 h vs t1/2AMA = 8 h) administration. Moreover, after oral administration, significantly higher amoxicilloic acid concentrations were measured in liver and kidney than after i.v. administration. The coadministration of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid provoked no significant differences in amoxicilloic acid tissue concentrations as compared to an amoxicillin dosing. The prolonged presence of residues of amoxicilloic acid in edible tissues can play an important role in food safety, because the compound could give rise to a possible health risk, although it is not included in the maximum residue limit legislation.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic properties of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid were studied in healthy, fasted pigs after single intravenous (i.v.) and oral (p.o.) dosage of 20 mg/kg of amoxicillin and 5 mg/kg of clavulanic acid. The plasma concentrations of the drugs were determined by validated high-performance liquid chromatographic methods and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by compartmental and noncompartmental analyses. After i.v. administration of the two drugs, plasma concentration-time curves were best described by a three-compartmental open model for amoxicillin and a two-compartmental open model for clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin (with a t(1/2 gamma) = 1.03 h and a clearance of 0.58 L/h.kg) and clavulanic acid (with a t(1/2 beta) of 0.74 h and a clearance of 0.41 L/h.kg) were both rapidly eliminated from plasma. Both drugs had apparently the same volume of distribution of 0.34 L/kg. After p.o. administration of the two drugs, a noncompartmental model was used. Elimination half-lives of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid were not significantly different, i.e. 0.73 and 0.67 h respectively. The mean maximal plasma concentrations of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid were 3.14 and 2.42 mg/L, and these were reached after 1.19 and 0.88 h respectively. The mean p.o. bioavailability was found to be 22.8% for amoxicillin and 44.7% for clavulanic acid.

Abstract
In the present position paper, an attempt was made to establish clinical breakpoints of amoxicillin to classify porcine respiratory tract pathogens as susceptible, intermediate or resistant based on their minimum inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin. For this, a thorough review of the published literature with regard to swine-specific pharmacological data (including dosages of amoxicillin applied and routes of administration used), clinical efficacy, and in vitro susceptibility of the target pathogens was performed. Based on the comparative analysis of the results, the working group "Antibiotic Resistance" of the German Veterinary Medical Society (DVG) proposed to classify porcine respiratory tract pathogens that show MIC values of amoxicillin of < or =0.5microg/ml as "susceptible", those with MICs of 1microg/ml as "intermediate", and those with MICs of > or =2microg/ml as "resistant".

Abstract
A rapid, selective and sensitive method has been developed for the determination of chlortetracycline in swine plasma by LC-ESI/MS/MS. The method consists of a protein precipitation extraction for sample preparation and liquid chromatography ionspray tandem mass spectrometry for analysis. The plasma samples were extracted with acetonitrile and the supernatants were analyzed using an LC-ESI/MS/MS instrument. Separation was achieved using a C(8) analytical column and an isocratic mobile phase composed of 70:30 acetonitrile:0.5% formic acid in water at a flow rate of 500 microL/min. A linear (weighted 1/concentration) relationship was used to perform the calibration over an analytical range 20--2000 ppb (ng/mL). The intra-batch precision and accuracy at LLOQ, medium and high concentrations were 9.0, 11.3 and 9.9% and 97.7, 100.3 and 98.4%, respectively, and the inter-batch precision and accuracy at LLOQ, medium and high concentrations were 9.1, 8.4 and 7.4% and 95.1, 102.1 and 97.1%, respectively. This LC-ESI/MS/MS method for the determination of chlortetracycline in swine plasma has been proven to be within generally accepted criteria used for bioanalytical assay.
