    Abstract SF001 is a next-generation polyene antifungal drug in development, designed to have increased specificity to fungal ergosterol, which is absent in humans, and decreased binding to cholesterol. SF001 demonstrates long-acting, potent, broad-spectrum fungicidal activity. The goal of the current study was to determine the pharmacodynamic index and target of SF001 in an immunocompromised mouse model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis against six

    Abstract This study evaluated the performance and clinical utility of performing intravascular catheter tip cultures (CTC). A retrospective chart review was conducted over a 2.5 year period on all patients who demonstrated growth of at least one organism on CTC. There were a total of 391 CTC performed. 88 (23%) grew at least one organism, while 303 (77%) had no growth. Of the positive CTC, 81 (92%) had blood cultures (BC) collected within 14 days, whereas 7 (8%) did not. Of the positive CTC with BC, 67 (83%) were BC-positive, whereas 14 (17%) were negative. For cases with growth on both CTC and BC, the organisms identified were concordant for 46 (69%) cases and discordant for 21 (31%). Of the concordant cases, 43 (93%) were clinically considered to be bacterial bloodstream infections that were secondary to a catheter infection. For all of the positive CTC cases total, there was no change in the antibiotics or management, with the exceptions of 2 out of 88 (2%) cases. Catheters were removed and cultured for an average of 38.6 h (range: -98 to 288 h) after positive BC results were available. Most CTC are negative, and for the CTC that are positive, most are concordant with BC results. CTC results are generally only available several days after positive BC results are known. The CTC results did not alter the antibiotic therapy or management, with the exceptions of rare cases. As such, this study concludes that CTC do not contribute diagnostic or therapeutic value. Therefore, current guidelines by the Infectious Diseases Society of America on catheter-related bloodstream infection diagnosis should be revised to exclude CTC collection.

    Abstract MRX-8 is a novel polymyxin analogue in development for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens, including those resistant to other antibiotic classes. In the present study, we examined the pharmacodynamic activity of MRX-8 against a variety of common Gram-negative pathogens in the neutropenic mouse thigh and lung models. Additionally, we examined polymyxin B (PMB) as a comparator. Plasma pharmacokinetics of MRX-8 and PMB were linear over a broad dosing range of 0.156 to 10 mg/kg of body weight and had similar AUC

    Abstract WCK 5222 is a combination of cefepime and the novel β-lactam enhancer (BLE) zidebactam. Zidebactam has a dual mechanism of action involving high-affinity penicillin binding protein (PBP) 2 binding as well as inhibition of Ambler class A, and C, enzymes. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of zidebactam on the cefepime pharmacodynamic target time above MIC (T>MIC) exposure required for efficacy against a diverse group of carbapenem-resistant

    Abstract We reviewed the electronic health records of 1,419 inpatients with anterior nares (AN) and oropharynx (OP) MRSA PCR tests. Concordance was 96.5%. In discordant cases, AN negative-OP positive results increased detection of probable MRSA pneumonia by only 0.3%. A dual testing approach has limited utility in detecting MRSA pneumonia and increases resource utilization.
