Quantitative performance of humanized plasma and epithelial lining fluid exposures of meropenem, cefiderocol and tobramycin against a challenge set of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a standardized neutropenic murine pneumonia model
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The COMBINE murine neutropenic pneumonia model looks to standardize an important element of preclinical development and provide interlaboratory uniformity. Herein we provide quantitative bacterial density in lung benchmark efficacy data of humanized exposures of meropenem, cefiderocol and tobramycin in plasma and epithelial lining fluid (ELF) against a collection of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. METHODS: In accordance with the COMBINE protocol, human-simulated regimens (HSRs) based on both plasma and ELF exposures of meropenem, cefiderocol (both as 2 g q8h as 3 h infusions) and tobramycin 7 mg/kg as 30 min infusions were tested against K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa isolates. The 24 h change in cfu/lung for each HSR was calculated. Each isolate was tested in duplicate against both the plasma and ELF HSRs on separate experiment days. RESULTS: Meropenem HSRs demonstrated >1 log10 kill against all P. aeruginosa isolates with MICs of ≤16 mg/L, but only against K. pneumoniae isolates with MICs of ≤2 mg/L as isolates with MICs of >2 mg/L generally harboured carbapenemases. Cefiderocol HSRs uniformly achieved >1 log10 kill against both species at MICs of ≤8 mg/L, with net growth and extensive variability in P. aeruginosa isolates with MICs of 16 mg/L. All tobramycin-susceptible isolates demonstrated >1 log10 kill, while non-susceptible isolates did not. Differences in cfu/lung magnitude between the plasma and ELF HSRs were most pronounced around the…
