ABSTRACT
Colistin is a polymyxin and peptide antibiotic that can yield rapid bacterial killing, but also leads to resistance emergence. We aimed to develop a novel experimental and Quantitative and Systems Pharmacology approach to distinguish between inducible and non-inducible resistance. Viable count profiles for the total and less susceptible populations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 from static and dynamic in vitro infection models were simultaneously modeled. We studied low and normal initial inocula to distinguish between inducible and non-inducible resistance. A novel cutoff filter approach allowed us to describe the eradication and inter-conversion of bacterial populations. At all inocula, 4.84â¯mg/L of colistin (sulfate) yielded ≥4 log10 killing, followed by >4 log10 regrowth. A pre-existing, less susceptible population was present at standard but not at low inocula. Formation of a non-pre-existing, less susceptible population was most pronounced at intermediate colistin (sulfate) concentrations (0.9 to 5â¯mg/L). Both less susceptible populations inter-converted with the susceptible population. Simultaneously modeling of the total and less susceptible populations at low and standard inocula enabled us to identify the de novo formation of an inducible, less susceptible population. Inducible resistance at intermediate colistin concentrations highlights the importance of rapidly achieving efficacious polymyxin concentrations by front-loaded dosage regimens.
