Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the in vivo killing profile of human-simulated exposures of ceftazidime, ceftazidime/avibactam and meropenem against GES-harbouring Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the murine thigh infection model. Methods: Five P. aeruginosa isolates [three isogenic (GES-1, GES-5 and GES-15) and two clinical (GES-5 and GES-15)] were evaluated. MICs were determined using broth microdilution. Human-simulated regimens (HSRs) of ceftazidime 2g IV q8h as a 2h infusion, ceftazidime/avibactam 2.5g IV q8h as a 2h infusion and meropenem 2g IV q8h as a 3h infusion were administered. Change in bacterial burden relative to baseline was assessed. Results: Modal MICs ranged from 8 to >64mg/L for ceftazidime, from 1 to 16mg/L for ceftazidime/avibactam and from 1 to >64mg/L for meropenem. In vivo, for the isogenic strains, avibactam augmented ceftazidime activity against the GES-1-and GES-15-harbouring isolates. Both ceftazidime and ceftazidime/avibactam resulted in significant kill against the GES-5 isogenic isolate. The meropenem HSR produced >1 log10 kill against each isogenic isolate (MICs of 1-4mg/L). Against the GES-5 clinical isolate, ceftazidime and ceftazidime/avibactam resulted in >1 log10 kill compared with bacterial growth with the meropenem HSR. In the clinical isolate harbouring GES-15, the elevated MICs of ceftazidime and ceftazidime/avibactam reduced the effectiveness of both compounds, while the observed reduction in meropenem MIC translated into in vivo efficacy of the HSR regimen, predictive of clinical efficacy. Conclusions: In GES-harbouring P. aeruginosa, quantitative reductions in bacterial density observed with the translational murine model suggest that the phenotypic profile of ceftazidime, ceftazidime/avibactam and meropenem is predictive of clinical efficacy when using the evaluated dosing regimens.
