PRIETO* Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid 28040, Spain Received 22 November 1996/Returned for modification 15 April 1997/Accepted 21 August 1997 Investigations of pharmacodynamic parameters (postantibiotic effect [PAE], sub-mic effects [SMEs], etc.) have been progressively employed for the design of dosing schedules of antimicrobial agents. However, there are fewer in vivo than in vitro data, probably because of the simplicity of the in vitro procedures. In this study, we have investigated the in vitro PAE, SME, and previously treated (postantibiotic [PA]) SME (1/2 MIC, 1/4 MIC and 1/8 MIC) of azithromycin and isepamicin against standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by using centrifugation to remove the antibiotics. In addition, the in vivo PAE and SME have been studied with the thigh infection model in neutropenic mice. Finally, in vivo killing curves with two dosing schedules were determined to examine whether the PAE can cover the time that antimicrobial agents are below the MIC. The two antimicrobial agents induced moderate-to-high in vitro PAEs, SMEs, and PA SMEs against S. aureus (>8 h) and E. coli (3.38 to >7.64 h). The in vivo PAEs were also high (from 3.0 to 3.6 h), despite the fact that isepamicin had lower times above the MIC in serum. Only azithromycin showed a high in vivo SME against the two strains (1.22 and 1.75 h), which indicated that the in vivo PAEs were possibly overestimated. In the killing kinetics, no great differences (<0.5 log 10 ) were observed between the schedule that took the PAE into account and the continuous administration of doses. These results are comparable with those of other authors and suggest that these antimicrobial agents could be administered at longer intervals without losing effectiveness. Over the last two decades, the number of studies of pharmacodynamic aspects of antimicrobial agents have progressively increased. The postantibiotic effect (PAE) is one of the parameters most extensively studied, and a great number of data have been obtained, especially in vitro. The PAE represents the suppression of growth of a microorganism after an exposure to an antimicrobial agent (16), and it is of important clinical interest, since longer dosing intervals could reduce toxicity and costs without a loss in effectiveness. To study this phenomenon in vivo, several models in animals have been used (12, 13, 20, 27, 29). The model of infection in the neutropenic mouse thigh (12) is one of the most employed models because it is faster and less laborious than others. We have previously observed long PAEs with quinolones (9) and aminoglycosides (18) by using this model, although meropenem did not induce significant values (8, 15). Other authors have also reported significant in vivo PAEs with macrolides (4) and aminoglycosides (4, 27) by using this model and others. The effect of subinhibitory concentrations on microorganisms, previously treated (postantibiotic [PA] SME) or not (SME), is another important pharmacodynamic parameter (2). These sub-mic concentrations may have a greater importance with some antimicrobial agents, such as the macrolides (with long half-lives) or the aminoglycosides (with high bactericidal activity). The SMEs have been studied in vitro with many antibiotics, including the groups studied here (19, 21 25). has been reported to exhibit in vitro long PA SMEs and SMEs against some respiratory tract pathogens (25), but isepamicin has not been investigated. Among the aminoglycoside antibiotics, only amikacin exhibited long PA SMEs and SMEs against some gram-negative microorganisms (24). * Corresponding author.

The study of the PA SME or SME in vivo has never been carried out according to the in vitro specifications or similar methods. However, complementary experiments to ensure that the suppression of the microorganism growth was a true PAE have generally been reported when the thigh infection model in mice had been performed (9, 18, 30). We have previously carried out these experiments and applied the formula of the in vitro SME to determine the analogous in vivo effect (9), but no significant values were obtained. In the case of macrolides, which have long half-lives, the importance of these assays may be greater. The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro PAE, SME, and PA SME of azithromycin and isepamicin against standard strains of E. coli and S. aureus. Using the thigh infection model in neutropenic mice, we studied the in vivo PAE, as well as the possible in vivo SME (to ensure that the growth suppression was a true PAE). Finally, we applied this in vivo model to determine whether dosing schedules that include the PAE duration were as effective as continuous schedules that always maintained the levels of the antimicrobial agents in serum above the MIC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microorganisms. S. aureus ATCC and E. coli ATCC were used in this study. s. The antibiotics were obtained as reference powders with known potencies from the following pharmaceutical companies: isepamicin was obtained from Schering Plough S.A. (Madrid, Spain), and azithromycin was obtained from Pfizer S.A. (Madrid, Spain). Dilutions were made on the same days of the experiments. The MICs were determined by the macrodilution standard method (14) in Mueller-Hinton (MH) broth. Animals. Female BALB/c mice weighing 26 to 28 g were rendered neutropenic by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (Laboratorios Funk, Madrid, Spain) at 150 and 100 mg/kg of body weight on days 0 and 3, respectively (12). In vitro PAE. E. coli or S. aureus cells (10 7 CFU/ml in MH broth) in the logarithmic phase of growth were exposed to the drugs at 37 C in a shaking incubator for 0.5 to 1.5 h (depending on the activity against the strain) at the following therapeutic concentrations: E. coli, 80 mg/liter with azithromycin and 414

One culture with the same microorganism was not exposed to the antimicrobial agent and remained as a nonexposed control culture. The antimicrobial agent was removed by centrifugation (5 min at 1,200 g). Nonexposed control cultures were also centrifuged. The treated and control cultures were then both divided into four tubes, with one of each used to determine the PAE by reincubation at 37 C for another 10 h. Samples were withdrawn, and viable bacteria were determined every hour. Each antibioticmicroorganism combination was studied at least two times on different occasions. The PAE was calculated by the formula (4) PAE T C, where T is the time for the preexposed cultures to increase by 1 log 10 above the number of CFU present immediately after drug removal and C is the corresponding time for the nonpreexposed control. SME and PA SME. The remaining three tubes of preexposed and nonpreexposed cultures were exposed to azithromycin or isepamicin at concentrations of 1/2 MIC, 1/4 MIC, and 1/8 MIC. All of these cultures were incubated at 37 C for another 10 h. Samples were withdrawn, and viable bacteria were determined every hour as described above. The SME and PA SME were calculated by the formulas (23) SME T s C and PA SME T PA C, respectively, where T s is the time for the nonpreexposed cultures that have been exposed to different sub-mics to increase by 1 log 10 above the number of CFU present immediately after drug removal, T PA is the time for the preexposed cultures that have been exposed to different sub-mics to increase by 1 log 10 above the number of CFU present immediately after drug removal, and C is the corresponding time for the nonpreexposed control. In vivo PAE. All procedures were conducted in accordance with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee guidelines. The in vivo PAE was determined according to the experimental procedure of Gudmundsson et al. (12). On the day of the experiment, all neutropenic mice were inoculated intramuscularly (i.m.) into one thigh with 0.1 ml of a bacterial suspension (10 6 to 10 7 CFU/ml) in the log phase of growth. Two hours later (time zero), 0.2 ml of saline solution with the antimicrobial agent was injected subcutaneously (s.c.) into the treated mice, with saline solution administered alone to the control group. The concentrations of the antimicrobial agents were as follows: azythromycin, 80 mg/kg for E. coli and 20 mg/kg for S. aureus; isepamicin, 7 mg/kg for E. coli and S. aureus. Groups of three to four animals from the treated and control groups were then killed every hour for the 1st 4 h and every 2huptothe10th h after drug administration. At each sampling time, thigh muscles were removed and immediately homogenized in 9 ml of ice-cold 0.85% NaCl, and viable counts on MH agar plates were determined. The in vivo PAE was calculated by the formula (27) PAE T C, where T is the time required for the mean count of CFU in the thighs of treated mice to increase 1 log 10 above its value at the time that the antibiotic concentrations in serum fell below the MIC and C is the time required for the mean count of CFU in the thighs of control mice to increase 1 log 10 above the viable count at time zero. Pharmacokinetics. After s.c. administration of the two drugs to the mice (three mice per group) at the same doses employed in the in vivo PAE, the blood was collected from the retroorbital sinus at 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 min and every 30 min up to 6 h. The activity of the drug in serum was assayed with a group of three control mice administered a saline solution. Drug levels in plasma were determined by using a standard agar well diffusion assay (28), with S. aureus ATCC as a patron strain with azythromycin and E. coli ATCC as a patron strain with isepamicin. The time that levels in serum exceeded the MIC, as well as peak level, time for peak level, and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), was calculated with a BASIC subroutine, based on a one-compartment open model. All assays were performed at least three times on separate occasions. In vivo determination of the SME. To ensure that the persistent growth suppression represented a true PAE and was not due to residual drug in the thigh tissue, a group of mice were injected with the antimicrobial agents at the same doses employed in the in vivo PAE experiments. Another group of mice (control) were injected with saline solution. A bacterial suspension (0.1 ml with 10 6 to 10 7 CFU/ml) of microorganisms in the log phase of growth was injected i.m. into the thighs of treated and control groups after the antibiotic levels in serum were below the MIC. The precise times were as follows: isepamicin, 1.1 h for S. aureus and E. coli; azithromycin, 4.5 h for S. aureus and 1.7 h for E. coli. During the next 10 h, three to four animals of the treated and control groups were killed every hour, and numbers of CFU were determined as described above. This method determined whether drug concentrations below the sensitivity of the microbiological assay were active in vivo. The SME was determined according to the formula SME T PA C, where T PA and C are the times required for the mean count of CFU in the thighs of pretreated and control mice, respectively, to increase by 1 log 10 above its initial value. This formula is similar to that described by Odenholt et al. (23) to determine the in vitro SME. In vivo killing curves. After the determination of the PAEs, their application in the dosing schedules was evaluated according to the in vivo killing kinetics. Neutropenic mice were divided into three different groups. All of them were inoculated i.m. into one thigh with 0.1 ml of a bacterial suspension (10 7 CFU/ml) in the log phase of growth. Two hours later (time zero), 0.2 ml of saline solution with the antimicrobial agent (at the same doses employed in the in vivo PAE experiments) was administered s.c. to two groups of mice (treated groups), with saline solution administered alone to the other group (control group). The first treated group was then injected s.c. with the antimicrobial agent every time that drug levels in serum fell below the MIC for this antibiotic as follows: isepamicin, at time zero and every 1.1 h for S. aureus and E. coli; azithromycin, at time zero every 4.5 h for S. aureus and every 1.7 h for E. coli. The second treated group was injected with the same doses approximately every time that drug levels in serum fell below the MIC plus the time of PAE as follows: isepamicin, at times zero and 5hforS. aureus and at times zero, 4, and 8 h for E. coli; azithromycin, at times zero and 8hforS. aureus and at times zero and 5 h for E. coli. Groups of three to four animals of the treated and control groups were then killed every hour for the 1st 4 h and every 2huptothe10th h after drug administration. At each sampling time, thigh muscles were removed and homogenized as described above, and viable counts on MH agar plates were determined. The in vivo lethal effect was expressed as the log 10 difference between each treatment curve and nontreated control at the end of the experiment (8, 9). RESULTS MICs. The MICs of azythromycin and isepamicin for S. aureus and E. coli are shown in Table 1. Since macrolide antibiotics have no great activity against gram-negative strains, the MIC of azythromycin for E. coli was moderate (8 mg/liter). In vitro PAE, SME, and PA SME. The results of all experiments are shown in Table 1. All of the in vitro PAEs were moderate, those of azithromycin generally being longer than those of isepamicin (2 h more with E. coli). Generally, the SME and PA SME values were also long, even if the PAE was subtracted from them. induced longer PAEs and SMEs on S. aureus than on E. coli, with PA SMEs greater than 8 h at all fractions of MICs. Nevertheless, the time of preexposure was also shorter (0.5 h), and it was reduced because it was too bactericidal and no counts were obtained in the PA SME assays. On the other hand, azithromycin induced longer PAEs and SMEs on E. coli (with T MIC longer than S. aureus), while the latter microorganism showed higher PA SMEs (greater than 8 h). Some PA SMEs were not determined exactly, because at the

Table 3 shows the lethal effects of azithromycin and isepamicin on S. aureus and E. coli with the two schedules of antimicrobial administration. There were not large differences between the two dosing schedules. The greatest difference was observed with isepamicin and S. aureus, but it was not greater than 0.5 log 10 CFU. The results are also shown in Fig. 2, where the administrations in schedule B (which takes into account the PAE) are pointed out. The total doses administered are also shown in Table 3. It can be observed that schedule B reduced the amount of antimicrobial agent administered by 33 to 80%, corresponding to the largest reductions with isepamicin. DISCUSSION FIG. 1.

The differences among the times of preexposure were due to previous results that indicated the exposures that were adequate (not excessively bactericidal). In vivo PAE. Figure 1 shows the in vivo PAE curves of the two antimicrobial agents, and Table 2 shows the results of the in vivo delay of growth. The highest PAE was that of isepamicin against S. aureus (3.6 h), but it was very similar to those of azithromycin (3.5 h). Although all values are highly significant, the PAE/T MIC ratio is very low for azithromycin against S. aureus in comparison with those of the other microorganism-drug combinations (0.77 against 2.05 to 3.27). The pharmacokinetic parameters are also shown in Table 2. The peak drug levels were rapidly reached (0.25 to 1 h), while the AUCs were similar for isepamicin and the 20-mg/kg dose of azithromycin. In vivo determination of the SME. The in vivo SMEs are also shown in Table 2. The negative values can be explained by the different levels of growth of the microorganisms in the different mice, and only when isepamicin was assayed against S. aureus was a significant negative value ( 0.5 h) found. On the other hand, azithromycin induced high SMEs against the two strains tested. The values of 1.75 and 1.22 h (with S. aureus The PAE is one of the most important and best known pharmacodynamic parameters. This effect has been intensively studied since it was described in the late 1940s (1, 6). However, there are fewer data available in vivo than in vitro (4), probably because of the simplicity of the in vitro procedures. The study of the in vivo PAE began when this effect was described (6), but reliable and standardized methods have not been employed until the last 2 decades (12, 16). The thigh infection model in neutropenic mice has been one of the most employed, and a great amount of data have been obtained (3). With aminoglycosides, the PAEs against most of the standard strains have been considerably long. Against S. aureus, PAEs of 3.4 to 6.7 h have been obtained with gentamicin by this model (4, 11, 18), while a PAE of 2.3 h has been reported with amikacin and other techniques (27). With E. coli, a wide range of PAEs have been reported: 1.4 to 4.5 h with gentamicin (4, 11, 18), 1.7 to 2.9 h with netilmicin, and 1.8 to 2.1 h with tobramicin (10). With amikacin and with another model, a PAE of 3.8 h has been determined (27)., as well as netilmicin, is a compound related to gentamicin, and the PAEs obtained in the present study are similar to those of these two antibiotics. The in vivo PAE of azithromycin has not yet been studied. The in vitro results show a moderate PAE from 2.2 to 4.7 h against other strains than those studied here (5, 25). However, the in vivo PAEs of other macrolides have already been investigated. Erythromycin induced PAEs up to 6.8 h against S. aureus and other gram-positive microorganisms (3, 4), and clindamycin also showed high values (7.1 h) with this strain (4). Nevertheless, the high values obtained with these macrolides could be due in part to their long periods above the MIC in serum, since they have long half-lives. In our study, this interval was also long in the case of S. aureus, despite the fact that its TABLE 2.

PAE was very similar to that of isepamicin (3.5 and 3.6 h, respectively). The effect of subinhibitory concentrations is another important pharmacodynamic parameter. By standardized in vitro techniques, significant values have been observed with many antimicrobial agents (2), even though this activity is not the same against bacteria in the PAE phase (PA SME) or SME phase. These effects have been studied with three macrolides (including azithromycin) against respiratory tract pathogens (25), with values higher than 12 h against Streptococcus pneumoniae. In this study, azithromycin induced long SMEs and PA SMEs against the two microorganisms, but if the in vitro PAE is subtracted, the SMEs are clearly lower than those of S. aureus ( 8 h). The SMEs of the aminoglycosides have not been examined in detail. Only the PA SMEs and SMEs of amikacin against E. coli are reported (24), in which the values were higher ( 22.3 h with 0.3 MIC) than those obtained in the present assay with isepamicin (although the preexposure period was 2 h). Our PA SMEs against S. aureus were longer than 9.28 h, and the SMEs were also long. Although the sub-mics for E. coli were lower than those for S. aureus, the relative effect on this microorganism is greater, because the time of preexposure is only 0.5 h. This lower time was chosen because no CFU counts were detected with an assay of 1 h. The in vivo investigation of the SMEs is more difficult than in vitro, and consequently the number of investigations reported are considerably lower. In one of the first in vivo experiments, Oshida et al. (26) observed that the inactivation of aspoxicillin by an injection of penicillinase in mice shortened the duration of the PAE. On the other hand, almost all of the in vivo PAE experiments performed with the thigh infection model in mice have included killing curves to examine the possible SMEs (9, 18, 26, 30). Moreover, those killing curves have been determined by a method similar to that used for our in vivo SME lethality curves, although they have not employed the formula described above. With this assay, some authors have observed that the subinhibitory concentrations of some antibiotics were active and increased the PAE period (26, 30). We were interested in carrying out an in vivo experiment similar to that employed in the in vitro PA SME determination. In the design of the technique, we included the inoculation of in vitro-pretreated microorganisms approximately at the time that the antimicrobial drug levels in serum fell below the MIC, since it was not possible to inactivate these compounds. Unfortunately, in the present study, we employed microorganisms in the log phase because reliable results were not obtained, since microorganisms in the PAE phase did not infect the thigh and were rapidly killed (data not shown). Despite the use of microorganisms in the log phase, azithromycin induced a short significant SME against the two strains tested (1.75 and 1.22 h), suggesting that the 3.5 h determined for the in vivo PAE really reflects the combined action of sub-mics and PAE. The importance of this subinhibitory effect of azithromycin could be greater considering the following circumstances. First, the microorganisms were in the log phase instead of the PAE phase, with the in vitro PA SMEs of this antibiotic being considerably high. Second, the elimination rate in small animals is approximately six times higher than that in humans (25, 26), and the exposure time could be increased notably. Finally, the high accumulation of azithromycin in tissues (including polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages) and posterior release (7, 10, 17) also increase the exposure time in some of these tissues. All of these factors, together with the action of the defensive system, indicate that longer dosing intervals for FIG. 2.

In terms of the lethal effect, the schedule B treatment with azithromycin (which included the PAE) was only 13% less effective than schedule A against the two strains. With isepamicin, which did not show SMEs in vivo, the effectiveness was even higher (90 to 97%), probably because of its greater bactericidal (lethal) effect (Table 3). We conclude that the pharmacodynamic parameters of azithromycin and isepamicin are important enough to have an influence on the dosing designs of these antimicrobial agents. They showed long PAEs not only in vitro but also in vivo, and the in vitro SMEs or PA SMEs also seem to be high; the in vivo SMEs are also significant in the case of azithromycin. The effectiveness could then be maintained, and longer dosing intervals could also reduce costs and toxicity (which is important in the case of aminoglycosides). However, further experiments should be performed to confirm these findings and study new ones (e.g., predictive pharmacokinetic parameter for efficacy and emergence of resistance). REFERENCES 1.
