Opal, Roy Goldfarb, and Joseph E. Parrillo ABSTRACT Background. This study was designed to examine the relationship between the timing of antibiotic treatment and both survival rates and hemodynamic/inflammatory correlates of survival in a murine model of Escherichia coli septic shock. Methods. Surgical implantation of an E. coli (O18:K1:H7)laced, gelatin capsuleencased fibrinogen clot was used to generate a bacteremic model of murine septic shock. Survival duration, hemodynamic responses, and circulating serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin (IL)6, and lactate levels were assessed in relation to increasing delays in or absence of antibiotic treatment. Results. A critical inflection point with respect to survival occurred between 12 and 15 h after implantation. When initiated at or before 12 h, antibiotic treatment resulted in 20% mortality, but, when initiated at or after 15 h, it resulted in >85% mortality. Physiologically relevant hypotension developed in untreated septic mice by 12 h after implantation. Values for heart rate differed between untreated septic mice and sham-infected control mice by 6 h after implantation, whereas values for cardiac output and stroke volume did not differ until at least 1824 h after implantation. Antibiotic treatment initiated 12 h after implantation was associated with persistence of increased circulating serum lactate, TNF-, and IL-6 levels. Conclusions. The timing of antibiotic treatment relative to hypotension is closely associated with survival in this murine model of septic shock. Delay in antibiotic treatment results in the persistence of inflammatory/stress markers even after antibiotic treatment is initiated. (J Infect Dis 2006; 193: 251-258)
