ABSTRACTTo provide support forin vitrosusceptibility test interpretive criteria decisions for ceftaroline againstStaphylococcus aureusandStreptococcus pneumoniae, as well as dose adjustment recommendations for renal impairment, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) target attainment was evaluated for simulated patients administered intravenous (i.v.) ceftaroline fosamil at 600 mg twice daily (q12h) and simulated patients with renal impairment administered various dosing regimens. Using a previously developed population PK model, Monte Carlo simulation was used to generate ceftaroline plasma concentration profiles for simulated patients with normal renal function or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment. Using these profiles, the percentage of time during the dosing interval that free-drug concentrations remained above the MIC (f%T>MIC) for ceftaroline at steady state was calculated. Percentages of simulated patients achievingf%T>MIC targets forS. aureusandS. pneumoniaebased on murine infection models were calculated by MIC. At MICs of 2 mg/liter forS. aureusand 1 mg/liter forS. pneumoniae, the percentages of simulated patients with normal renal function and mild renal impairment following administration of ceftaroline fosamil at 600 mg q12h, moderate renal impairment following administration of ceftaroline fosamil at 400 mg q12h, and severe renal impairment following administration of ceftaroline fosamil at 300 mg q12h achievingf%T>MIC targets (≥26 forS. aureusand ≥44 forS. pneumoniae) exceeded 90%. The results of these analyses, which suggested thatin vitrosusceptibility test interpretive criteria defining susceptible could be as high as MICs of ≤2 and ≤1 mg/liter for ceftaroline againstS. aureusandS. pneumoniae, respectively, provide support for current FDA and CLSI criteria, which define susceptible as MICs of 1 and 0.5 mg/liter, respectively. Recommendations for dose adjustments for patients with renal impairment were also supported by the results of these analyses.

The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of lamivudine (3TC), a nucleoside analog that has shown potent in vitro and recent in vivo activity against human immunodeficiency virus. Sixteen human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, six with normal renal function (creatinine clearance [CLCR], > or = 60 ml/min), four with moderate renal impairment (CLCR, 10 to 40 ml/min), and six with severe renal impairment (CLCR, < 10 ml/min), were enrolled in the study. After an overnight fast, patients were administered 300 mg of 3TC orally. Blood was obtained before 3TC administration and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 h afterward. Timed urine collections were performed for patients able to produce urine. Serum and urine were assayed for 3TC by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by using standard noncompartmental techniques. The peak concentration of 3TC increased with decreasing renal function; geometric means were 2,524, 3,538, and 5,684 ng/ml for patients with normal renal function, moderate renal impairment, and severe renal impairment, respectively. The terminal half-life also increased with decreasing renal function; geometric means were 11.5, 14.1, and 20.7 h for patients with normal renal function, moderate renal impairment, and severe renal impairment, respectively. Both oral and renal clearances were linearly correlated with CLCR. A 300-mg dose of 3TC was well tolerated by all three patient groups. The pharmacokinetics of 3TC is profoundly affected by impaired renal function. Dosage adjustment, by either dose reduction or lengthening of the dosing interval, is warranted.

Abstract Background ME1100 (arbekacin inhalational solution) is an inhaled aminoglycoside being developed to treat patients with hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP and VABP, respectively). PK-PD target attainment analyses were undertaken to evaluate ME1100 regimens for patients with HABP/VABP arising from Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA), including those with renal impairment. Methods Data used included a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model developed using Phase 1 and post-marketing PK data, nonclinical PK-PD targets from one compartment in vitro and/or in vivo infection models, and MIC data. Using parameter estimates from the PPK model (four-compartment model with first-order elimination), total-drug epithelial lining fluid concentration-time profiles were generated for simulated patients with varying creatinine clearance (CLcr; mL/minute/1.73 m2) and by CLcr group. Twice daily (BID) ME1100 regimens ranging from 300 to 900 mg were assessed in simulated patients with CLcr &gt;80 to ≤120 mL/minute/1.73 m2. Percent probabilities of PK-PD target attainment by MIC were determined based on total-drug ELF AUC:MIC ratio targets associated with 1- and 2-log10 CFU reductions from baseline for KP, PA and SA using Day 1 AUC. Regimens in simulated patients with renal impairment that best matched the BID regimen in the normal CLcr group with high percent probabilities of PK-PD target attainment and a low percent probability of Cmin &gt; 2 mg/L were identified. Results ME1100 600 mg BID in simulated patients with CLcr &gt;80 to ≤120 mL/minute/1.73 m2, with 600 mg once daily, 450 mg BID and 600 mg BID in simulated patients with CLcr of 0 to ≤30, &gt;30 to ≤50 and &gt;50 to ≤80 mL/minute/1.73 m2, respectively, achieved high percent probabilities of PK-PD target attainment based on PK-PD targets for a 1-log10 CFU reduction from baseline at relevant MIC values for KP, PA and SA, and relatively lower Cmin values. In simulated patients with varying CLcr who received these regimens, high percent probabilities of PK-PD target attainment were achieved for KP, PA and SA at the upper margins of the MIC distributions (Figures 1–3). Conclusion The data provide support for ME1100 dose selection for patients with HABP/VAPB. Disclosures S. M. Bhavnani, Meiji Seika Pharma Co. Ltd.: Research Contractor, Research support. J. P.

ABSTRACTCeftaroline, the active metabolite of the prodrug ceftaroline-fosamil, is an advanced-generation cephalosporin with activity against methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA). This investigation providesin vitrosusceptibility data for ceftaroline against 1,971S. aureusisolates collected in 2012 from seven countries (26 centers) in the Asia-Pacific region as part of the Assessing Worldwide Antimicrobial Resistance and Evaluation (AWARE) program. Broth microdilution as recommended by the CLSI was used to determine susceptibility. In all, 62% of the isolates studied were MRSA, and the ceftaroline MIC90for allS. aureusisolates was 2 μg/ml (interpretive criteria: susceptible, ≤1 μg/ml). The overall ceftaroline susceptibility rate forS. aureuswas 86.9%, with 100% of methicillin-sensitiveS. aureusisolates and 78.8% of MRSA isolates susceptible to this agent. The highest percentages of ceftaroline-nonsusceptible MRSA isolates came from China (47.6%), all of which showed intermediate susceptibility, and Thailand (37.1%), where over half (52.8%) of isolates were resistant to ceftaroline (MIC, 4 μg/ml). Thirty-eight ceftaroline-nonsusceptible isolates (MIC values of 2 to 4 μg/ml) were selected for molecular characterization. Among the isolates analyzed, sequence type 5 (ST-5) was the most common sequence type encountered; however, all isolates analyzed from Thailand were ST-228. Penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) substitution patterns varied by country, but all isolates from Thailand had the Glu239Lys substitution, and 12 of these also carried an additional Glu447Lys substitution. Ceftaroline-fosamil is a useful addition to the antimicrobial agents that can be used to treatS. aureusinfections. However, with the capability of this species to develop resistance to new agents, it is important to recognize and monitor regional differences in trends as they emerge.

ABSTRACTNew antimicrobial agents and novel combination therapies are needed to treat serious infections caused by methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) with reduced susceptibility to daptomycin and vancomycin. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the combination of ceftaroline plus daptomycin or vancomycin in anin vitropharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model. Simulations of ceftaroline-fosamil at 600 mg per kg of body weight every 8 h (q8h) (maximum free-drug concentration in serum [fCmax], 15.2 mg/liter; half-life [t1/2], 2.3 h), daptomycin at 10 mg/kg/day (fCmax, 11.3 mg/liter;t1/2, 8 h), vancomycin at 2 g q12h (fCmax, 30 mg/liter;t1/2, 6 h), ceftaroline plus daptomycin, and ceftaroline plus vancomycin were evaluated against a clinical, isogenic MRSA strain pair: D592 (daptomycin susceptible and heterogeneous vancomycin intermediate) and D712 (daptomycin nonsusceptible and vancomycin intermediate) in a one-compartmentin vitropharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model over 96 h. Therapeutic enhancement of combinations was defined as ≥2 log10CFU/ml reduction over the most active single agent. The effect of ceftaroline on the membrane charge, cell wall thickness, susceptibility to killing by the human cathelicidin LL37, and daptomycin binding were evaluated. Therapeutic enhancement was observed with daptomycin plus ceftaroline in both strains and vancomycin plus ceftaroline against D592. Ceftaroline exposure enhanced daptomycin-induced depolarization (81.7% versus 72.3%;P= 0.03) and killing by cathelicidin LL37 (P< 0.01) and reduced cell wall thickness (P< 0.001). Fluorescence-labeled daptomycin was bound over 7-fold more in ceftaroline-exposed cells. Whole-genome sequencing and mutation analysis of these strains indicated that change in daptomycin susceptibility is related to anfmtC(mprF) mutation. The combination of daptomycin plus ceftaroline appears to be potent, with rapid and sustained bactericidal activity against both daptomycin-susceptible and -nonsusceptible strains of MRSA.

ABSTRACT Multiple epidemiological studies identify Dolosigranulum pigrum as a candidate beneficial bacterium based on its positive association with health, including negative associations with nasal/nasopharyngeal colonization by the pathogenic species Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Using a multipronged approach to gain new insights into D. pigrum function, we observed phenotypic interactions and predictions of genomic capacity that support the idea of a role for microbe-microbe interactions involving D. pigrum in shaping the composition of human nasal microbiota. We identified in vivo community-level and in vitro phenotypic cooperation by specific nasal Corynebacterium species. Also, D. pigrum inhibited S. aureus growth in vitro, whereas robust inhibition of S. pneumoniae required both D. pigrum and a nasal Corynebacterium together. D. pigrum l-lactic acid production was insufficient to account for these inhibitions. Genomic analysis of 11 strains revealed that D. pigrum has a small genome (average 1.86 Mb) and multiple predicted auxotrophies consistent with D. pigrum relying on its human host and on cocolonizing bacteria for key nutrients. Further, the accessory genome of D. pigrum harbored a diverse repertoire of biosynthetic gene clusters, some of which may have a role in microbe-microbe interactions. These new insights into D. pigrum’s functions advance the field from compositional analysis to genomic and phenotypic experimentation on a potentially beneficial bacterial resident of the human upper respiratory tract and lay the foundation for future animal and clinical experiments. IMPORTANCE Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans. For both, nasal colonization is a risk factor for infection. Studies of nasal microbiota identify Dolosigranulum pigrum as a benign bacterium present when adults are free of S. aureus or when children are free of S. pneumoniae. Here, we validated these in vivo associations with functional assays. We found that D. pigrum inhibited S. aureus in vitro and, together with a specific nasal Corynebacterium species, also inhibited S. pneumoniae. Furthermore, genomic analysis of D. pigrum indicated that it must obtain key nutrients from other nasal bacteria or from humans. These phenotypic interactions support the idea of a role for microbe-microbe interactions in shaping the composition of human nasal microbiota and implicate D. pigrum as a mutualist of humans. These findings support the feasibility of future development of microbe-targeted interventions to reshape nasal microbiota composition to exclude S. aureus and/or S. pneumoniae.

ABSTRACTAnin vitrosingle-compartment dilutional pharmacokinetic model was used to study the pharmacodynamics of ceftaroline againstStaphylococcus aureus(both methicillin-susceptibleS. aureus[MSSA] and methicillin-resistantS. aureus[MRSA]). Mean serum free concentrations of ceftaroline (the active metabolite of the prodrug ceftaroline fosamil) dosed in humans at 600 mg every 12 h (q12h) were simulated, and activities against 12S. aureusstrains (3 MSSA strains and 9 MRSA strains, 3 of which had a vancomycin-intermediate phenotype) were determined. Ceftaroline produced 2.5- to 4.0-log10-unit reductions in viable counts by 24 h with all strains and a 0.5- to 4.0-log-unit drop in counts at 96 h. The antibacterial effect could not be related to the strain MIC across the ceftaroline MIC range from 0.12 to 2.0 μg/ml. In dose-ranging studies, the cumulative percentage of a 24-h period that the free drug concentration exceeded the MIC under steady-state pharmacokinetic conditions (fTMIC) of 24.5% ± 8.9% was associated with a 24-h bacteriostatic effect, one of 27.8% ± 9.5% was associated with a −1-log-unit drop, and one of 32.1% ± 8.1% was associated with a −2-log-unit drop. The MSSA and MRSA strains had similarfTMICvalues.fTMICvalues increased with increasing duration of exposure up to 96 h. Changes in ceftaroline population analysis profiles were related tofTMIC.fTMICs of <50% were associated with growth on 4× MIC recovery plates at 96 h of drug exposure. These data support the use of ceftaroline fosamil at doses of 600 mg q12h to treatS. aureusstrains with MICs of ≤2 μg/ml. AnfTMICof 25 to 30% would make a suitable pharmacodynamic index target, butfTMICvalues of ≥50% are needed to suppress the emergence of resistance and require clinical evaluation.

ACT-387042 and ACT-292706 are two novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors with broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureusand penicillin- and fluoroquinolone-resistantStreptococcus pneumoniae. We used the neutropenic murine thigh infection model to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) of these investigational compounds against a group of 10S. aureusandS. pneumoniaeisolates with phenotypic resistance to beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones. Thein vitroactivities of the two compounds were very similar (MIC range, 0.03 to 0.125 mg/liter). Plasma pharmacokinetics were determined for each compound by using four escalating doses administered by the subcutaneous route. In treatment studies, mice had 107.4to 108CFU/thigh at the start of therapy with ACT-387042 and 106.7to 108.3CFU/thigh at the start of therapy with ACT-292706. A dose-response relationship was observed with all isolates over the dose range. Maximal kill approached 3 to 4 log10CFU/thigh compared to the burden at the start of therapy for the highest doses examined. There was a strong relationship between the PK/PD index AUC/MIC ratio (area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h in the steady state divided by the MIC) and therapeutic efficacy in the model (R2, 0.63 to 0.82). The 24-h free-drug AUC/MIC ratios associated with net stasis for ACT-387042 againstS. aureusandS. pneumoniaewere 43 and 10, respectively. The 24-h free-drug AUC/MIC ratios associated with net stasis for ACT-292706 againstS. aureusandS. pneumoniaewere 69 and 25, respectively. The stasis PD targets were significantly lower forS. pneumoniae(P< 0.05) for both compounds. The 1-log-kill AUC/MIC ratio targets were ∼2- to 4-fold higher than stasis targets. Methicillin, penicillin, or ciprofloxacin resistance did not alter the magnitude of the AUC/MIC ratio required for efficacy. These results should be helpful in the design of clinical trials for topoisomerase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT ME1100 (arbekacin inhalation solution) is an inhaled aminoglycoside that is being developed to treat patients with hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP and VABP, respectively). Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) target attainment analyses were undertaken to evaluate ME1100 regimens for the treatment of patients with HABP/VABP. The data used included a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) 4-compartment model with 1st-order elimination, nonclinical PK-PD targets from one-compartment in vitro and/or in vivo infection models, and in vitro surveillance data. Using the PPK model, total-drug epithelial lining fluid (ELF) concentration-time profiles were generated for simulated patients with varying creatinine clearance (CLcr) (ml/min/1.73 m2) values. Percent probabilities of PK-PD target attainment by MIC were determined based on the ratio of total-drug ELF area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) to MIC (AUC/MIC ratio) targets associated with 1- and 2-log10 CFU reductions from baseline for Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. Percent probabilities of PK­PD target attainment based on PK-PD targets for a 1-log10 CFU reduction from baseline at MIC values above the MIC90 value for K. pneumoniae (8 μg/ml), P. aeruginosa (4 μg/ml), and S. aureus (0.5 μg/ml) were ≥99.8% for ME1100 600 mg twice daily (BID) in simulated patients with CLcr values >80 to ≤120 ml/min/1.73 m2. ME1100 600 mg BID, 450 mg BID, and 600 mg once daily in simulated patients with CLcr values >50 to ≤80, >30 to ≤50, and 0 to ≤30 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively, provided arbekacin exposures that best matched those for 600 mg BID in simulated patients with normal renal function. These data provide support for ME1100 as a treatment for patients with HABP/VABP.

ABSTRACTDrug resistance inStreptococcus pneumoniae, a frequent pathogen in community-acquired pneumonia, is increasing. Ceftaroline (active metabolite of ceftaroline fosamil) is a broad-spectrum intravenous cephalosporin with activityin vitroagainst drug-resistant Gram-positive organisms. We investigated ceftaroline at 600 mg every 12 h (q12h) (maximum concentration of the free, unbound drug in serum [fCmax] is 15.2 μg/ml, and half-life [T1/2] is 2.5 h) versus ceftriaxone at 1 g q24h (fCmax= 23 μg/ml,T1/2= 8 h) against six clinicalS. pneumoniaeisolates in a one-compartmentin vitropharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic 96-h model (starting inoculum of 107CFU/ml). Differences in CFU/ml (at 24 to 96 h) were evaluated by analysis of variance with a Tukey'spost hoctest. Bactericidal activity was defined as a ≥3 log10CFU/ml decrease from the initial inoculum. Ceftaroline MICs were 0.06, 0.015, ≤0.008, 0.25, 0.25, and 0.5 μg/ml, and ceftriaxone MICs were 0.5, 0.25, 0.25, 4, 4, and 8 μg/ml for SP 1477, SP 669, SP 132, SP 211, SP 90, and SP 1466, respectively. Against the ceftaroline- and ceftriaxone-susceptible strain SP 1477, ceftaroline displayed sustained bactericidal activity (3 to 96 h, −5.49 log10CFU/ml) and was significantly (P≤ 0.012) better than ceftriaxone (72 to 96 h, −2.03 log10CFU/ml). Against the ceftriaxone-resistant strains, ceftaroline displayed sustained bactericidal activity at 96 h and was significantly better than ceftriaxone (SP211 [−5.91 log10CFU/ml,P≤ 0.002], SP 90 [−5.26 log10CFU/ml,P≤ 0.008], and SP1466 [−5.14 log10CFU/ml,P≤ 0.042]). Ceftaroline was the more effective drug and displayed sustained bactericidal activity. Ceftaroline fosamil may provide a therapeutic option to treat ceftriaxone-resistantS. pneumoniaeinfections.

ABSTRACTCeftaroline, the active metabolite of the prodrug ceftaroline fosamil, is a cephalosporin with broad-spectrumin vitroactivity against Gram-positive organisms, including methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and multidrug-resistantStreptococcus pneumoniae(MDRSP), and common Gram-negative pathogens. This study investigated thein vivoactivity of ceftaroline fosamil compared with clindamycin, linezolid, and vancomycin in a severe pneumonia model due to MRSA-producing Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). A USA300 PVL-positive clone was used to induce pneumonia in rabbits. Infected rabbits were randomly assigned to no treatment or simulated human-equivalent dosing with ceftaroline fosamil, clindamycin, linezolid, or vancomycin. Residual bacterial concentrations in the lungs and spleen were assessed after 48 h of treatment. PVL expression was measured using a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ceftaroline, clindamycin, and linezolid considerably reduced mortality rates compared with the control, whereas vancomycin did not. Pulmonary and splenic bacterial titers and PVL concentrations were greatly reduced by ceftaroline, clindamycin, and linezolid. Ceftaroline, clindamycin, and linezolid were associated with reduced pulmonary tissue damage based on significantly lower macroscopic scores. Ceftaroline fosamil, clindamycin, and, to a lesser extent, linezolid were efficient in reducing bacterial titers in both the lungs and spleen and decreasing macroscopic scores and PVL production compared with the control.
