Antibiotic pharmacology
It’s a complex

host, pathogen and
the antibiotic
PK indices
Vancomycin Teicoplanin 400 >10 (serious gram positive infections) >20 (for deep
AUC0-24/MIC seated infection)
Cmin/MIC
Cmax = maximum serum concentration following a stated dose at steady state, and usually at 1
h post-dose.
e = factor by which the Cmax should exceed the MIC. (normal=4, Less for antibiotics which
achieve higher tissue concentration
f = protein binding (protein binding <70%, f = 1; for protein binding 70-90%,f = 0.5; and for
protein binding >90%,f = 0.2).
t = factor (normally 1) to allow for the serum elimination half-life. For a serum elimination half-
life of between 1 and 3 h, t = 1; if it is >3 h, t = 0.5; or if it is <1 h, t = 2.
s = shift (or reproducibility) factor mentioned above. Typically, s = 1 and should not normally
be <0.5 or >2.

MIC creep: mechanism
Acquisition of resistance over a period
of time due to antibiotic exposure
The MIC creep phenomenon may be influenced by:
55 studies,
29 234 S. aureus isolates,
The mean MIC were 1.23 mg/L (95% CI 1.13-1.33) and 1.20 mg/L (95% CI
1.13-1.28)determined by E-test and broth microdilution method, respectively.
No significant differences were observed between these two methodologies
Decline in MIC over
time:
Stringent application of
antibiotic stewardship
leading to appropriate
use of vancomycin

Limitations of MIC
Measurement done in standard laboratory conditions (bacterial
inoculum and antibiotic concentration may not be the same at the site of
infection)
Does not consider albumin level, volume of distribution and organ
dysfunction
Does not tell about resistance mechanism
Effect of additional drugs is not considered
Two fold dilution (there may be many values of MIC between two fold
dilution)
The condition in body undergoes various changes till report is available
TDM, traditionally used for drugs with narrow therapeutic index (Digoxin, aminoglycosides)
to minimize toxicity.

Assessment of ASP
N=46 studies
The pooled effect size for change in overall antimicrobial and carbapenem consumption
(% difference) was -9.74% (95% CI, -18.93% to -.99%) and -10.56% (95% CI, -19.99%
to -3.03%), respectively.
Trends toward decreases in the incidence of MDR organisms and antimicrobial
expenditure (range, 9.7%-58.1% reduction in cost in the intervention period/arm).
