Therapeutic efficacy of isavuconazole in experimental Aspergillus fumigatus endophthalmitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conclusion. Our findings suggest that the model can reasonably identify patients whose infections would be likely to be covered by cefazolin. Further, the majority of patients would have been covered by a narrower spectrum antibiotics than what they received. Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the NIH under Award Number R01AI116975. Disclosures.

Pharmacodynamics of isavuconazole in an Aspergillus fumigatus mouse infection model.
Azole resistance is an emerging problem in Aspergillus fumigatus which translates into treatment failure. Alternative treatments with new azoles may improve therapeutic outcome in invasive aspergillosis (IA) even for strains with decreased susceptibility to current azoles. The in vivo efficacy of 0.25, 1, 4, 16, 64, 128, 256, and 512 mg/kg of body weight/day prodrug isavuconazonium sulfate (BAL...
متن کاملIn vitro combination of isavuconazole with micafungin or amphotericin B deoxycholate against medically important molds.
Whether isavuconazole, an extended-spectrum triazole, possesses synergistic activity in combination therapy with echinocandins or amphotericin B for the treatment of invasive molds infections has not been studied. Our in vitro combination studies showed that isavuconazole and micafungin are synergistically active against Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus, and Cunnin...
متن کاملEvaluation of MIC Strip Isavuconazole Test for Susceptibility Testing of Wild-Type and Non-Wild-Type Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates
We evaluated the MIC Strip Isavuconazole test against EUCAST E.Def 9.3 by using 40 wild-type and 39 CYP51A mutant Aspergillus fumigatus strains. The strip full inhibition endpoint (FIE) and 80% growth inhibition endpoint were determined by two independent readers, reader 1 (R1) and R2. The essential (within ±0, ±1, and ±2 twofold dilutions) and categorical agreements were best with the FIE (for...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and Concentration-Dependent Efficacy of Isavuconazole for Treatment of Experimental Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis.
We studied the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the broad-spectrum triazole isavuconazole for the treatment of experimental invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in persistently neutropenic rabbits. Treatment started 24 h after endotracheal administration of Aspergillus fumigatus inoculum; study subjects included rabbits receiving orally administered prodrug isavuconazonium sulfate (BAL8557) e...
متن کاملAspergillus fumigatus Endophthalmitis with Necrotizing Scleritis following Pars Plana Vitrectomy
We present a case of Aspergillus fumigatus endophthalmitis complicated by necrotizing scleritis in a 68-year-old man with diet-controlled diabetes, after retinal detachment repair. He was initially treated with systemic steroids for surgically induced necrotizing scleritis following routine pars plana vitrectomy. An additional diagnosis of endophthalmitis was made when the patient developed a h...
