چکیده

OBJECTIVES To compare the effect of a 6-fold range in gentamicin concentration on the bacterial killing of Staphylococcus aureus. METHODS Six 24 h duplicate experiments were performed using an in vitro pharmacodynamic model (IVPDM) which was inoculated with 10(6) cfu/mL S. aureus (ATCC 29213) and subjected to desired initial gentamicin concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/L. A 2 h half-life was emulated for gentamicin. Samples were drawn at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 24 h to quantify cfu/mL and gentamicin concentration. These samples were subjected to serial saline dilution to prevent antibiotic carryover and to produce a countable number of colonies. Pre- and post-gentamicin MIC values were performed for S. aureus. Duplicate 24 h kill curves were generated for each experiment and assessed for statistical difference (two-way ANOVA) between the slopes of the kill curves and time to 3 log kill. RESULTS Kill curve slopes were analysed out to the 2 h time point and no statistical difference was found between the different concentrations (P > 0.05). Time to 3 log kill was not significantly different between the concentrations. Post-exposure gentamicin MIC values were within one tube dilution of the pre-exposure MIC value (0.25 mg/L). CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that clinical gentamicin concentrations kill S. aureus with equivalent effectiveness and that the use of higher doses of aminoglycosides would probably not improve bacterial kill rates.

Impact of high-inoculum Staphylococcus aureus on the activities of nafcillin, vancomycin, linezolid, and daptomycin, alone and in combination with gentamicin, in an in vitro pharmacodynamic model.

We evaluated the impact of high (9.5 log10 CFU/g) and moderate (5.5 log10 CFU/g) inocula of methicillin-susceptible and -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA, respectively) on the activities of nafcillin, linezolid, vancomycin, and daptomycin, alone and in combination with gentamicin in an in vitro pharmacodynamic model with simulated endocardial vegetations over 72 h. Human therapeut...

Once-Daily Gentamicin Administration for Community-Associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an in vitro Pharmacodynamic Model: Preliminary Reports for the Advantages for Optimizing Pharmacodynamic Index

PURPOSE Community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CAMRSA) infections are increasing. Although gentamicin (GEN) is usually susceptible against CA-MRSA, GEN is rarely considered for treatment as monotherapy. We employed an in vitro pharmacodynamic model (IVPDM) to compare efficacies of GEN against CA-MRSA with two dosing regimens [thrice-daily (TD), once-daily (OD)]. MAT...

Pharmacodynamics of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in an in vitro pharmacodynamic model.

An in vitro pharmacokinetic model was used to compare the pharmacodynamics of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin against 3 Staphylococcus aureus and 3 Staphylococcus epidermidis strains. Logarithmic-phase cultures were inoculated into the peripheral compartment of hollow-fiber cartridges and exposed to the peak serum concentrations achieved in humans with oral doses of moxifloxacin (400 mg) and levo...

Evaluation of daptomycin pharmacodynamics and resistance at various dosage regimens against Staphylococcus aureus isolates with reduced susceptibilities to daptomycin in an in vitro pharmacodynamic model with simulated endocardial vegetations.

The need to investigate novel dosing regimens and combinations is essential in combating poor treatment outcomes for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and endocarditis. We evaluated the impact of simulated standard- and high-dose daptomycin in combination with gentamicin or rifampin against daptomycin-susceptible and nonsusceptible matched strains of S. aureus. These strains were collected from ...
