Mouton MD PhD FIDSA FAAM Professor pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics Research grants advisory boards speaker This Patient Needs Antibiotics. But Which Ones, And Which Dose?

Other factors CLINICAL EFFICACY (Clinical Cure) Mouton et al., Drug Resistance Updates 211 Probability of cure after treatment with fluconazole Oropharyngeal Candidiasis n=132 Treatment with fluconazol Doses 1 4 mg Culture-results with MIC-values Probability of cure after treatment with fluconazole Oropharygeal Candidiasis n=132 Individual Dose MIC-values per individual Determine Dose/MIC for each patient Microbiological outcome (candida cured) Clinical outcome Higher dose Lower efficacy? Rodriguez- Tudela et al, AAC 27 Efficacy of the antimicrobial 2nd Question: Does the Dose matter in relation to the MIC (potency?)? Potency of a drug (MIC) Exposure to the bug In vivo (Dose; PK) Cartoon removed 2

DOSE (or choice of drug ) Creatinin Clearance In 15 Criticall Ill Patients AIDA on going clinical trial Relation between Creatinin Clearance and Meropenem Clearance In 238 Criticall Ill Patients on 557 occacions during Continuous Infusion Regression= Not significant No model assumptions Paul, Friberg et al. Rohr et al., ECCMID 215 We Need Therapeutic Drug Monitoring for Antibiotics!!!!! - In particular in patients with high/augmented clearance Development of fast methods to measure drug concentrations TDM!! And the MIC part of the Equation? How to use that? For non-continuous infusion, develop and use population models -Analyze covariates 9

JAC 217 in press MIC distribution of 14 strains in 5 labs in quaduplicate Linezolid, S.aureus Conclusions PK/PD explains and predicts the effects of antimicrobials For beta lactams, %ft>mic is the most important predictor; for most other drugs it is fauc/mic Increasing %ft>mic to increase target attainment by adjusting the dosing regimens, TDM should be performed if no good prediction can be made Dosing regimens optimal for exposure may select for resistance / adjustments are clearly required Choose the right drug!
