Cefepime is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin with enhanced coverage against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. We did a systematic review of randomised trials that compared cefepime with another beta-lactam antibiotic, alone or with the addition of a non-beta-lactam antibiotic to both study groups. We searched Central, PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, new US Food and Drug Administration drug applic...
BACKGROUND This study was performed to compare the clinical characteristics and antibiotic susceptibilities of viridans streptococcal bacteremia (VSB) between febrile neutropenic adults and children with hematologic malignancies. METHODS The consecutive medical records of neutropenic patients with hematologic malignancies who were admitted to the Catholic Blood and Marrow Transplantation Cent...
INTRODUCTION In recent decades, antimicrobial resistance has become a public health problem, particularly in cases of healthcare-associated infections. Interaction between antibiotic consumption and resistance development is of particular interest regarding Gram-negative bacilli, whose growing resistance has represented a great challenge. OBJECTIVE Assess the impact of restriction of cefepime...
While guidelines recommend empirical cefepime therapy in febrile neutropenia, the mortality benefit of cefepime has been controversial. In light of this, recent reports on pharmacokinetic changes for several antibiotics in febrile neutropenia and the consequent suboptimal exposure call for a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic evaluation of current dosing. This study aimed to assess pharmacokinetic...
Efficacy of doripenem against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in experimental meningitis.
OBJECTIVES In this study the efficacy of doripenem, a new broad-spectrum carbapenem, was tested against an Escherichia coli strain and a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain in an experimental animal model. The comparator was cefepime monotherapy. METHODS The rabbit meningitis model was used in this study and the penetration of doripenem through uninflamed and inflamed meninges was determined. RESU...
The relative binding affinities of the extended-spectrum cephalosporins cefepime, cefpirome, and cefaclidine for the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of Escherichia coli K-12 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa SC8329 were determined. Affinities were calculated from competition experiments between these antibiotics and [3H]benzylpenicillin in isolated membrane preparations. The concentrations which re...
BACKGROUND Extended-infusion cefepime (EIC) has been associated with decreased mortality in adults, but to our knowledge, there are no studies in children. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of implementing EIC as the standard dosing strategy in a pediatric population. METHODS This was a descriptive study of children aged 1 month to 17 years, including pa...
INTRODUCTION Altered pharmacokinetics (PK) in critically ill patients can result in insufficient serum β-lactam concentrations when standard dosages are administered. Previous studies on β-lactam PK have generally excluded the most severely ill patients, or were conducted during the steady-state period of treatment. The aim of our study was to determine whether the first dose of piperacillin-ta...
Cefepime is a fourth generation cephalosporin which is bactericidal for broad spectrum of organisms. This is a case-series of three patients who presented to our hospital with confusion secondary to cefepime use to treat urinary tract infection (UTI) and health care associated pneumonia (HCAP), after excluding other common etiologies of altered mental status (AMS). Of these three patients, one ...
Pharmacokinetics of cefepime was studied after single dose intravenous administration at the dose rate of 5 mg/kg body weight in calves. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein at predetermined time intervals before and after drug administration. Serum was harvested and analysed for cefepime concentration by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Following intravenous ...
