        Correlations between Microbiological Outcomes and Clinical Responses in Patients with Severe Pneumonia

        김성민,Jerome J. Schentag 대한감염학회 2013 Infection and Chemotherapy Vol.45 No.3

        Background: In treatment of pneumonia, microorganisms sometimes persist, appear or reappear despite good clinical responses. On the other hand, recent increasing antibiotic resistance emphases the goal of rapid eradication of pathogen in severe infection. This study was planned to evaluate the correlations between microbiological outcomes and clinical responses in severe pneumonia. Materials and Methods: Data was gathered from 3 clinical trials regarding severe pneumonia. Microbiological outcomes, determined by serial culture of respiratory tract samples,were compared with clinical outcomes. Results: In total, 146 bacterial strains from 76 patients were analyzed. While clinical success was generally related to total or partial eradication of isolated organisms, Acinetobacter , Enterobacter , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were often not eradicated and yet were observed in 56% of cases considered clinically successful at the end of antibiotic treatment. Most of the non-eradicated strains (71%) already had or developed resistance against the antibiotics used for treatment. Ten patients relapsed during the follow-up period; 7 of these relapses were associated with 10 non-eradicated organisms. Conclusions: These data raise concern about the pathogenicity of bacteria that persist in the respiratory tract even though good clinical outcomes of pneumonia are achieved, especially when Acinetobacter, Enterobacter , P. aeruginosa , or S. maltophilia were involved. Thus, clinical relapse and development of drug resistance by non-eradicated organisms may be raised.

        Interpretation of Epithelial Lining Fluid Concentrations of Antibiotics against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

        Sungmin Kiem,Jerome J. Schentag 대한감염학회 2014 Infection and Chemotherapy Vol.46 No.4

        Although antibiotics whose epithelial lining fluid (ELF) concentrations are reported high tend to be preferred in treatment ofpneumonia, measurement of ELF concentrations of antibiotics could be misled by contamination from lysis of ELF cells andtechnical errors of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). In this review, ELF concentrations of anti-methicillin resistant Staphylococcusaureus (MRSA) antibiotics were interpreted considering above confounding factors. An equation used to explain antibiotic diffusioninto CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) was adopted: ELF/free serum concentration ratio = 0.96 + 0.091 × ln (partition coefficient/ molecular weight1/2). Seven anti-MRSA antibiotics with reported ELF concentrations were fitted to this equation to see if theirELF concentrations were explainable by the penetration capacity only. Then, outliers were modeled under the assumption ofvarying contamination from lysed ELF cells (test range 0-10% of ELF volume). ELF concentrations of oritavancin, telavancin,tigecycline, and vancomycin were well described by the diffusion equation, with or without additional impact from cell lysis. For modestly high ELF/free serum concentration ratio of linezolid, technical errors of BAL should be excluded. Although teicoplaninand iclaprim showed high ELF/free serum ratios also, their protein binding levels need to be cleared for proper interpretation. At the moment, it appears very premature to use ELF concentrations of anti-MRSA antibiotics as a relevant guide fortreatment of lung infections by MRSA.
