Pharmacodynamics of antibiotics:Correlation between kinetics and activity
• Rising resistance and correlation with antibiotic use …
• Did we use antibiotics in a rational way ? …
• What is pharmacodynamics and how can it help you ? …
• Can we prevent (or slow down the emergence of) resistance ? …

How can you be "better" ?
• be globally efficacious
� pharmacodynamics (PK/PD)
Tunis - 18-04-06PD of antibiotics: correlation between kinetics and activity 5
• avoid selection of resistance
� "mutant prevention concentration"
What is Pharmacokinetics / Pharmacodynamics
(PK/PD) ?
• Pharmacokinetics:
what the body does to the drug
� absorption, distribution, serum and tissue levels elimination, …
dose and
schedule
Cmax
t1/2
Tunis - 18-04-06PD of antibiotics: correlation between kinetics and activity 6
• Pharmacodynamics (of AB):
what the drug does to the bacteria
� static vs. bactericidal effect, rate of kill, eradication, prevention of resistance….
clearance
• Emax
• time to Emax
• prevention of
relapses
• maintenance of
susceptibility

Same dose ??
And what about those ones ?
Tunis - 18-04-06PD of antibiotics: correlation between kinetics and activity 7
Breakpoints tend to set up quantic limits in what is fundamentally a continuous distribution ...
What are "Pharmacodynamic indices" ?
• all drugs have pharmacokinetic properties that describe
the way the body handles them
– antibiotics are no exception …
– you need to consider the Cmax and the clearance (that will result in
a given half-life) to describe the drug exposure
Tunis - 18-04-06PD of antibiotics: correlation between kinetics and activity 8
• a drug needs to bind to its target to act …
– antibiotics are again no exception, but the target is the bacteria …
– the antibiotics can be studied in vitro to look at the extent of their
action at increasing concentrations (like the binding of a ligand to
its receptor in conventional pharmacology). This is
drug pharmacodynamics…

Tunis - 18-04-06PD of antibiotics: correlation between kinetics and activity 41
• Pharmacoeconomics of antibiotics is still largely underdeveloped outside the USA
(but US-based models cannot easily be applied);
• However, comparisons identifying differences in
– amount of money needed to reach a given (better ? ) clinical outcome;
– expenses related to the same (or better) quality of life and patient's satisfaction;
may already suggest interesting avenues for further fine-tuning therapeutic guidelines
• cost effectiveness• cost utility
• patient's satisfaction

Rational bases for the choice of an antibiotic
• Know your LOCAL epidemiology
� obtain MIC distributions from your microbiologists…
• know the PK profile of the drugs you consider to purchase

• Compare products on that basis first …
• Remember that
