Considerations when choosing an antibacterial agent Microbiology • Mechanism of action • Antibacterial spectrum Concentration at infection site Outcome Drug Pathogen MIC PK • Clinical efficacy • Bacterial eradication • Compliance with dosing regimen • Tolerability • Rate of resolution • Prevention of resistance • Absorption • Distribution • Metabolism • Excretion • Optimal dosing regimen PD • Time- vs concentration-dependent killing • Bactericidal vs bacteriostatic activity • Tissue penetration • Persistence of antibacterial effect
PK/PD parameters affecting efficacy Concentration Peak/MIC AUC/MIC Time >MIC MIC PAE 0 Time (hours)
Improving the probability of positive outcomes IMPROVING THE ODDS HOST BUG DRUG
PK/PD parameters determining efficacy • Absorption • Serum levels • Distribution and penetration to site of infection • Intracellular penetration • Relationship of PK parameters to MIC
In clinical practice Infections are treated with the same dosing regimen irrespective of the absolute susceptibility of the microrganisms as well as the PK of the actual patient

Ideal approach to adjust the dose • Initial dosing regimen(chosen by patient’s physician) • Blood sampling( two or more post-distributional sample) • Pharmacokinetic analysis (peak,AUC,CL) • Adjust dose or/and intervals (PK/PD) • Redetermine concentrations • Adjust again ?
First problemPK approach to adjust the dose is poor applicable for routinely use(at moment) • N°samples • Personnel • Costs • Microbiology
second problemPK/PD breakpoints betalactams (ceftriaxone) aminoglicosides quinolones glicopeptides macrolides tetraciclines
Program to customize the therapyin our hospital • Isolation of the pathogen and MIC • Design therapy traditionally(by patient’s physician) • Pharmacokinetic • Adjust dose or interval using PK/PD • Redetermine concentrations
PK/PD values adopted • Aminoglicosides Peak/MIC 8 • Quinolones peak/MIC 10 • Betalactams peak/MIC 4 and T>MIC 70% same value for monotherapy or combination
Sampling time • Aminoglicosides Peak : 0.5 h from • end 30 min infusion • Quinolones peak : 0.5 h from end 60 • min infusion • Betalactams peak :0.5 h from end 30 • min infusion • And T>MIC : 5.6 hours from start • infusion

Conclusions I • The PK/PD approach may: • improve the outcome • shorten the time to clinical improvement • Reduce the length of hospitalisation
Conclusions II The initial higher costs for analysis and personnel are compensate for the reduction of the hospitalisation, with a financial gain
Conclusions III Can PK/PD be used in everyday clinical practice? yes
