Current and novel therapies for management of Acinetobacter baumannii-associated pneumonia. Crit Rev Microbiol 2024:1-22. [PMID: 38949254 DOI: 10.1080/1040841x.2024.2369948] [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: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is a common pathogen associated with hospital-acquired pneumonia showing increased resistance to carbapenem and colistin antibiotics nowadays. Infections with A. baumannii cause high patient fatalities due to their capability to evade current antimicrobial therapies, emphasizing the urgency of developing viable therapeutics to treat A. baumannii-associated pneumonia. In this review, we explore current and novel therapeutic options for overcoming therapeutic failure when dealing with A. baumannii-associated pneumonia. Among them, antibiotic combination therapy administering several drugs simultaneously or alternately, is one promising approach for optimizing therapeutic success. However, it has been associated with inconsistent and inconclusive therapeutic outcomes across different studies. Therefore, it is critical to undertake additional clinical trials to ascertain the clinical effectiveness of different antibiotic combinations. We also discuss the prospective roles of novel antimicrobial therapies including antimicrobial peptides, bacteriophage-based therapy, repurposed drugs, naturally-occurring compounds, nanoparticle-based therapy, anti-virulence strategies, immunotherapy, photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy, for utilizing them as additional alternative therapy while tackling A. baumannii-associated pneumonia. Importantly, these innovative therapies further require pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation for safety, stability, immunogenicity, toxicity, and tolerability before they can be clinically approved as an alternative rescue therapy for A. baumannii-associated pulmonary infections.

[PMID: 37426765 PMCID: PMC10326560 DOI: 10.3892/br.2023.1634] [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: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Tigecycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, is widely used against antimicrobial resistance; therefore, medical staff should use tigecycline rationally to improve clinical efficacy and reduce resistance to this drug. The present study aimed to enhance the rate of rational tigecycline usage. The patients were divided into a low-dose (50 mg tigecycline twice daily, every 12 h) and a high-dose group (100 mg twice daily, every 12 h). The blood concentrations of tigecycline were examined and the area under the curve (AUC)0-12 h values of the two groups were calculated. Prescriptions of tigecycline for 40 intensive care unit (ICU) cases were reviewed to evaluate the rationality of tigecycline usage. The peak plasma concentrations (the 7th administration after 1 h) of tigecycline were significantly higher in the high-dose group (2.46±0.43 µg/ml) compared with those in the low-dose group (1.25±0.16 µg/ml). The AUC0-12 h was 16.35±3.09 h µg/ml in the high-dose group and 9.83±1.23 h µg/ml in the low-dose group (P<0.001). There were 29 irrational prescriptions identified, involving: i) Lack of consultation records (n=20); ii) inappropriate usage or dosage (n=17); iii) inappropriate drug selection (n=2); or iv) lack of dynamic laboratory tests to evaluate the efficacy (n=4). The irrational use of tigecycline in ICU patients is common. The rate of rational tigecycline usage can be improved by strengthening the management, training and participation of clinical pharmacists.

Clinical Efficacy, Antibiotic Resistance Genes, Virulence Factors and Outcome of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia Induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase 2-Producing with Tigecycline Treatment in the ICU. Infect Drug Resist 2022; 15:5545-5555. [PMID: 36168639 PMCID: PMC9509680 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s381280] [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: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Tigecycline is an agent for carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumonia (KPC-KP), given its penetration into lung tissues. Our study focused on the molecular and clinical efficacy of tigecycline for hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in the ICU. Patients and Methods A retrospective cohort study of 52 adult KPC-KP HAP patients by searching hospital medical records from January 2018 to December 2020 was established to investigate the epidemiology of KPC-KP infections for tigecycline treatment and the associated clinical efficacy of tigecycline. The KPC-KP isolates underwent multilocus sequence typing. Molecular typing, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence profiling were also analyzed by whole-genome sequencing of KPC-KP. Results Among 52 patients with KPC-KP, the ICU mortality rate was 14/52 (27%), and there was no significant statistical difference in mortality between the effective group and failure group (p = 0.754). However, the duration of tigecycline was statistically different between the two groups of patients (14.4 vs 10 days, p=0.046). The total bacterial clearance rate was 6/52 (11.5%). There was no significant statistical difference in both groups (p=0.416). Antibiotic resistance genes (aac3iia) and virulence gene (AREO-iutA, Capsule-wzc) were negatively correlated with clinical efficacy (p = 0.011, OR = 1.237). Conclusions Blakpc was the main carbapenemase in all K. pneumoniae strains. ST11-KL64 KPC-KP was the most common virulence factors in KPC-KP isolates. This study suggested that antibiotic resistance genes (aac3iia) and virulence gene (AREO-iutA, Capsule-wzc) were independent mortality risk factors for patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2 producing K. pneumoniae infections, when during the tigecycline treatment. Molecular analysis of K. pneumoniae may provide an option when choosing the antimicrobial treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : In the past 15 years, treatment of VAP caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) has represented an intricate challenge for clinicians. AREAS COVERED In this perspective article, we discuss the available clinical data about novel agents for the treatment of CR-GNB VAP, together with general PK/PD principles for the treatment of VAP, in the attempt to provide some suggestions for optimizing antimicrobial therapy of CR-GNB VAP in the daily clinical practice. EXPERT OPINION Recently, novel BL and BL/BLI combinations have become available that have shown potent in vitro activity against CR-GNB and have attracted much interest as novel, less toxic, and possibly more efficacious options for the treatment of CR-GNB VAP compared with previous standard of care. Besides randomized controlled trials, a good solution to enrich our knowledge on how to use these novel agents at best in the near future, while at the same time remaining adherent to current evidence-based guidelines, is to improve our collaboration to conduct larger multinational observational studies to collect sufficiently large populations treated in real life with those novel agents for which guidelines currently do not provide a recommendation (in favor or against) for certain causative organisms.

Infect Drug Resist 2021; 14:3837-3848.

Abstract
Background Extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDR-AB) infections have become difficult to treat and are associated with a high mortality rate. Tigecycline is one of the most effective agents used to treat XDR-AB infections, but data from treating bloodstream infection (BSI) in standard dose do not look promising, because of its low plasma concentration. Secondary BSI with primary infection source may indicate tigecycline treatment with a higher dose. Currently, little is known about the application of high-dose tigecycline among patients with secondary BSI caused by XDR-AB. We aimed to investigate the outcomes for high-dose (HD) tigecycline treatment versus standard-dose (SD) treatment of these patients. Methods An observational cohort study was conducted at four university affiliated hospitals in mainland China. Adult inpatients who were confirmed as having secondary BSI caused by XDR-AB and received definitive tigecycline treatment were consecutively included. Patients who were treated with 50 mg every 12 h were defined as the SD group, and a twice dose was defined as the HD group. Results Of the enrolled patients, 63 received SD and 88 received HD tigecycline treatment. Patients in the two groups had similar with regard to baseline clinical conditions. The 30-day survival was affected by the source of the primary infection. Survival was significantly better in patients with non-pulmonary-infection-related BSI than in patients with pulmonary-infection-related BSI. Multivariate Cox regression confirmed that HD had a protective effect only observed in patients with non-pneumonia-related BSI. Conclusion A tigecycline dose that is twice its standard dose is better for the treatment of XDR-AB infection only in BSI associated with non-pulmonary infection.
