Efficacy and safety of antibiotics targeting Gram-negative bacteria in nosocomial pneumonia: a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis. Ann Intensive Care 2024; 14:66. [PMID: 38662091 PMCID: PMC11045692 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-024-01291-5] [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: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple randomized controlled studies have compared numerous antibiotic regimens, including new, recently commercialized antibiotics in the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia (NP). The objective of this Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) was to compare the efficacy and the safety of different antibiotic treatments for NP. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library databases from 2000 through 2021. The study selection included studies comparing antibiotics targeting Gram-negative bacilli in the setting of NP. The primary endpoint was 28 day mortality. Secondary outcomes were clinical cure, microbiological cure and adverse events. RESULTS Sixteen studies encompassing 4993 patients were included in this analysis comparing 13 antibiotic regimens. The level of evidence for mortality comparisons ranged from very low to moderate. No significant difference in 28 day mortality was found among all beta-lactam regimens. Only the combination of meropenem plus aerosolized colistin was associated with a significant decrease of mortality compared to using intravenous colistin alone (OR = 0.43; 95% credible interval [0.17-0.94]), based on the results of the smallest trial included. The clinical failure rate of ceftazidime was higher than meropenem with (OR = 1.97; 95% CrI [1.19-3.45]) or without aerosolized colistin (OR = 1.40; 95% CrI [1.00-2.01]), imipemen/cilastatin/relebactam (OR = 1.74; 95% CrI [1.03-2.90]) and ceftazidime/avibactam (OR = 1.48; 95% CrI [1.02-2.20]). For microbiological cure, no substantial difference between regimens was found, but ceftolozane/tazobactam had the highest probability of being superior to comparators. In safety analyses, there was no significant difference between treatments for the occurrence of adverse events, but acute kidney failure was more common in patients receiving intravenous colistin. CONCLUSIONS This network meta-analysis suggests that most antibiotic regimens, including new combinations and cefiderocol, have similar efficacy and safety in treating susceptible Gram-negative bacilli in NP. Further studies are necessary for NP caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Registration PROSPERO CRD42021226603.

Int J Pharm 2022; 621:121799. [PMID: 35525472 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is common in cystic fibrosis as well non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. The pathogen presents challenges for treatment due to its adaptive antibiotic-resistance, mainly pertaining to its biofilm-forming ability, as well as limitations associated with conventional drug delivery in achieving desired therapeutic concentration in the infection site. Hence, therapeutic approach has shifted towards the inhalation of antibiotics. Ceftazidime is a potent antibiotic against the pathogen; however, it is currently only available as a parenteral formulation. Here, spray-dryer was employed to generate inhalable high dose ceftazidime microparticles. In addition, the use of amino acids (valine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan) to improve aerosolization as well as chemical stability of amorphous ceftazidime was explored. The particles were characterized using X ray diffraction, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, calorimetry, electron microscopy, particle size analyzer, and next generation impactor. The chemical stability at 25 °C/<15% was assessed using chromatography. All co-spray dried formulations were confirmed as monophasic amorphous systems using calorimetry. In addition, principal component analysis of the IR spectra suggested potential interaction between tryptophan and ceftazidime in the co-amorphous matrix. Inclusion of amino acids improved aerosolization and chemical stability in all cases. Increase in surface asperity was clear with the use of amino acids which likely contributed to the improved aerosol performance, and potential interaction between amino acids and ceftazidime was plausibly the reason for improved chemical stability. Leucine offered the best aerosolization enhancement with a fine particle fraction of 78% and tryptophan showed stabilizing superiority by reducing chemical degradation by 51% over 10 weeks in 1:1 molar ratio. The protection against ceftazidime degradation varied with the nature of amino acids. Additionally, there was a linear relationship between degradation protection and molar mass of amino acids or percentage weight of amino acids in the formulations. None of the amino acids were successful in completely inhibiting degradation of ceftazidime in amorphous spray-dried powder to prepare a commercially viable product with desired shelf-life. All the amino acids and ceftazidime were non-toxic to A549 alveolar cell line.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ceftazidime is used for the treatment of many bacterial infections, including severe P. aeruginosa infections. Like other beta-lactams, inter-individual variability in ceftazidime pharmacokinetics has been described. Due to its related pathophysiological modifications, obesity might influence ceftazidime pharmacokinetics. AREAS COVERED The objective of this review is to assess the current state of knowledge about the impact of obesity on ceftazidime treatment. A literature search was conducted on PubMed-MEDLINE (2016-2021) to retrieve pharmacokinetic studies published in English, matching the terms 'ceftazidime' AND 'pharmacokinetics.' EXPERT OPINION The impact of obesity on pharmacokinetics is generally poorly known, mainly because obese patients are often excluded from clinical studies. However, the published literature clearly shows that obese patients have significantly lower ceftazidime concentrations. This could be explained by increased volume of distribution and clearance. This low exposure represents a major factor of therapeutic failure, potentially fatal for critically ill patients. While further studies would be useful to better assess the magnitude and understanding of this variability, the use of higher doses of ceftazidime is needed in obese patients. Moreover, therapeutic drug monitoring for dose adaptation is of major interest for these patients, as the efficacy of ceftazidime seems to be directly related to its plasma concentration.

Abstract
Objectives To characterize quantitatively the effect of avibactam in potentiating ceftazidime against MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa by developing a mathematical model to describe the bacterial response to constant concentration time-kill information and validating it using both constant and time-varying concentration-effect data from in vitro and in vivo infection systems. Methods The time course of the bacterial population dynamics in the presence of static concentrations of ceftazidime and avibactam was modelled using a two-state pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model, consisting of active and resting states, to account for bactericidal activities, bacteria-mediated ceftazidime degradation and inhibition of degradation by avibactam. Ceftazidime's effect on the bacterial population was described as an enhancement of the death rate of the active population, with the effect of avibactam being to increase ceftazidime potency. Model validation was performed by comparing simulated time courses of bacterial responses with those from in vitro and in vivo experimental exposures of ceftazidime and avibactam that represented those predicted in an average patient dosed with 2 g/0.5 g ceftazidime/avibactam administered every 8 h as 2 h infusions. Results The two-state model successfully described the bacterial population dynamics, ceftazidime degradation and its inhibition by avibactam. For external validation, the model correctly predicted the bacterial response of P. aeruginosa isolates evaluated in in vitro hollow-fibre and in vivo neutropenic mouse thigh and lung infection models. Conclusions The PK/PD model and modelled strains successfully replicated the spread in activity when compared with a large selection of P. aeruginosa strains reported in the literature.

Abstract
Background Many antibiotics have no effect on Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbes, which necessitates the prescription of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents that can lead to increased risk of antibiotic resistance. These pathogens constitute a further threat because they are also resistant to numerous beta-lactam antibiotics, as well as other antibiotic groups. This study retrospectively investigates antimicrobial resistance in hospitalized patients suffering from pneumonia triggered by Gram-negative Serratia marcescens or Proteus mirabilis. Methods The demographic and clinical data analyzed in this study were obtained from the clinical databank of the HELIOS Clinic, Witten/Herdecke University, Wuppertal, Germany, for inpatients presenting with pneumonia triggered by S. marcescens or P. mirabilis from 2004 to 2014. An antibiogram was conducted for the antibiotics utilized as part of the management of patients with pneumonia triggered by these two pathogens. Results Pneumonia was caused by Gram-negative bacteria in 115 patients during the study period from January 1, 2004, to August 12, 2014. Of these, 43 (37.4 %) hospitalized patients [26 males (60.5 %, 95 % CI 45.9 %–75.1 %) and 17 females (39.5 %, 95 % CI 24.9 %–54.1 %)] with mean age of 66.2 ± 13.4 years had pneumonia triggered by S. marcescens, while 20 (17.4 %) patients [14 males (70 %, 95 % CI 49.9 %–90.1 %) and 6 females (30 %, 95 % CI 9.9 %–50.1 %)] with a mean age of 64.6 ± 12.8 years had pneumonia caused by P. mirabilis. S. marcescens showed an increased antibiotic resistance to ampicillin (100 %), ampicillin-sulbactam (100 %), and cefuroxime (100 %). P. mirabilis had a high resistance to tetracycline (100 %) and ampicillin (55 %). S. marcescens (P < 0.0001) and P. mirabilis (P = 0.0003) demonstrated no resistance to cefepime in these patients with pneumonia. Conclusions S. marcescens and P. mirabilis were resistant to several commonly used antimicrobial agents, but showed no resistance to cefepime.
