Antimicrobial tissue concentrations.

چکیده

The clinical outcome of anti-infective treatment is determined by both PK and PD properties of the antibiotic. Only the free tissue concentrations of antibiotics at the target site, which are usually lower than the total plasma concentrations, are responsible for therapeutic effect. The free antibiotic concentrations at the site of action are a more appropriate PK input value for PK-PD analysis. The unbound tissue concentrations can be measured directly by microdialysis. Using plasma concentrations overestimates the target site concentrations and its clinical efficacy. The optimal dosing regimens of antibiotics have an impact on patients' outcome and cost of therapy, and reduce the emergence of resistance.

Moxalactam concentrations in human prostatic tissue.

The concentrations of moxalactam in human prostatic tissue, obtained by enucleation or transurethral resection, were measured in 10 patients after the intramuscular administration of two 500-mg doses. The average concentrations of moxalactam in prostatic tissue in the enucleated and transurethral resection specimens were 4.0 micrograms/g and 5.2 micrograms/ml, and the ratios of the moxalactam c...

Tissue concentrations: do we ever learn?

Over the last decades, numerous papers have appeared--and still are appearing--that describe concentrations in tissues in an effort to predict the efficacy of an antimicrobial agent based on these concentrations and MICs for microorganisms. A common method is to use measurements of concentrations in tissue homogenates, comparing these with values derived from the corresponding blood samples and...

Concentration of ciprofloxacin in human prostatic tissue after oral administration.

Concomitant concentrations of ciprofloxacin in serum, urine, and prostatic tissue were determined in 15 patients after single oral doses of 750 mg. Levels in tissue ranged from 0.6 to 4.18 micrograms/g, and therapeutic concentrations were demonstrable for up to 9 h after administration. The mean ratio of tissue to serum concentration was 0.93 +/- 0.08 (standard error).

Penetration of doripenem into skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue in healthy volunteers.

Sufficient antibiotic concentrations at the infection site are a prerequisite for good bacterial killing. This study was performed to determine pharmacokinetics of doripenem in soft tissues and saliva. Six healthy male volunteers received a single intravenous infusion of 500 mg doripenem over 1 h. The concentrations of doripenem were measured over 8 h in saliva, plasma, and extracellular space ...

Distribution and antimicrobial activity of ciprofloxacin in human soft tissues.

Interstitial ciprofloxacin concentrations in soft tissues were measured by microdialysis following intravenous administration of 200 mg to each of eight healthy volunteers. Interstitial ciprofloxacin concentrations were significantly lower than corresponding total serum drug concentrations; the interstitium-to-serum concentration ratios ranged from 0.55 to 0.73. An in vitro simulation based on ...

Penetration of cefotetan into suction skin blister fluid and tissue homogenates in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

The penetration of cefotetan (2-g intravenous bolus) into the suction blister fluid and tissue homogenates of 11 patients was investigated. Mean concentrations in tissue were significantly lower than contemporary suction blister fluid levels. These data show that the determination of beta-lactam concentrations by the tissue homogenate method may seriously underestimate the actual antibiotic lev...
