17 Antibiotics

18 Ventilator-Associated Indications for Nebulized Antibiotics in mechanically ventilated patients Tracheobronchitis 67% Pneumonia 64% Sole-Lleonart C, et al. Clin Microbiol Infect 2016 In patients with VAT, it is not recommended the use of antibiotic therapy Weak recommendation, low-quality evidence IDSA/ATS HAP/VAP Guidelines Clin Infect Dis 2016

19 Nebulized Antibiotics Lung Deposition Particle Size Aerosol Generator Ventilator Settings

20 Best Aerosolized Antibiotics Characteristics Highly active (type and specialized formulation) Concentration-dependent (dosing) Post-antibiotic effect High concentrations (concentration & time) Minimal toxicity Well tolerated at the epithelial surface Penetrate infected sputum (delivery system) Avoid inactivation in the airway or by other medications

21 Nebulized Antibiotics fold higher than MIC

22 Aerosolized Antibiotics Aminoglycosides Gentamicin Colomycin Amikacin Liposomal amikacin Neomycin Sisomycin Tobramycin Polymixins Colistin/Polymixin B Glycopeptides Vancomycin Monobactams Aztreonam lysine Beta-lactams Ceftazidime Ticarcillin Fluoroquinolones Ciprofloxacin Palmer LB. Curr Opin Pulm Med 2015 Tested for VAP or VAT

23 Aminoglycosides

24 Aminoglycosides Better inhaled than IV High tissue concentration Induce rapid and potent bacterial killing Renal toxicity

43 Aerosolized Colistin Improved clinical and microbiological response No effect on mortality or nephrotoxicity Quality of the Evidence: Poor Valachis A, et al. Crit Care Med 2015

44 HAP/VAP Guideline Recommendations For patients with VAP due to Gram-negative bacilli that are susceptible to only aminoglycosides or polymyxins (colistin or polymyxin B), we suggest both inhaled and systemic antibiotics, rather than systemic antibiotics alone Weak recommendation, very low-quality evidence In patients with HAP/VAP caused by Acinetobacter species that is sensitive only to polymyxins, we recommend intravenous polymyxin (colistin or polymyxin B), Strong recommendation, low-quality evidence and we suggest adjunctive inhaled colistin Weak recommendation, low-quality evidence IDSA/ATS HAP/VAP Guidelines Clin Infect Dis 2016

45 HAP/VAP Guideline Recommendations In patients with HAP/VAP caused by carbapenem-resistant pathogen that is sensitive only to polymyxins, we recommend intravenous polymyxins (colistin or polymyxin B), and we suggest adjunctive inhaled colistin Strong recommendation, low-quality evidence Weak recommendation, low-quality evidence In patients with VAT, it is not recommended the use of antibiotic therapy Weak recommendation, low-quality evidence IDSA/ATS HAP/VAP Guidelines Clin Infect Dis 2016

53 Addition of Tobramycin Inhalation in the Treatment of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAPORISE) NCT Aerosolized Antibiotics in the Treatment of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (AAINTVAP) NCT Aerosolized Tobramycin or Vancomycin Persistent Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Eradication Protocol (PMEP) (PMEP) - in CF patients NCT Aerosolized Vancomycin

54 Unmet needs for the future Delivery Systems Appropriate dosing Effect of antibiotics in viscous purulent secretions Adjunctive therapies to systemic antibiotics Enhanced and modified antibiotics Combination of antibiotics with immunomodulators, mucolytics, etc.

55 Conclusions Inhalation antibiotic therapies are an alternative for specific patients infected with multidrug resistant pathogens causing ventilator associated pneumonias Complexity of aerosolized antibiotic therapies need to take into account several factors to show promising result Future research is needed to assess new inhalational antibiotic therapies and the impact on clinical outcomes
