ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) considerations are at the heart of defining susceptibility breakpoints for antibiotic therapy. However, current approaches follow a fragmented workflow. The aim of this study was to develop an integrative pharmacometric approach to define MIC-based breakpoints for killing and suppression of resistance development for plasma and tissue sites, integrating clinical microdialysis data as well as in vitro time-kill curves and heteroresistance information, exemplified by moxifloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.METHODS:
Plasma and target site samples were collected from ten patients receiving 400 mg moxifloxacin/day. In vitro time-kill studies with three S. aureus and two E. coli strains were performed and resistant subpopulations were quantified. Using these data, a hybrid physiologically based (PB) PK model and a PK-PD model were developed, and utilized to predict site-specific breakpoints.RESULTS:
For both bacterial species, the predicted MIC breakpoint for stasis at 400 mg/day was 0.25 mg/L. Less reliable killing was predicted for E. coli in subcutaneous tissues where the breakpoint was 0.125 mg/L. The breakpoint for resistance suppression was 0.06 mg/L. Notably, amplification of resistant subpopulations was highest at the clinical breakpoint of 0.25 mg/L. High-dose moxifloxacin (800 mg/day) increased all breakpoints by one MIC tier.CONCLUSIONS:
An efficient pharmacometric approach to define susceptibility breakpoints was developed; this has the potential to streamline the process of breakpoint determination. Thereby, the approach provided additional insight into target site PK-PD and resistance development for moxifloxacin. Application of the approach to further drugs is warranted.Palabras clave
