摘要:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of cyadox against Clostridium perfringens in swine and optimize the dosage regimen using ex vivo pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling. After oral administration, the ileum fluid of pigs containing the free cyadox was collected by implanted ultrafiltration probes. The Tmax, AUC24h, and CL/F of free cyadox in the ileum fluid were 1.96 h, 106.40 μg/h/mL, and 0.27 L/kg/h, respectively. Cyadox displayed a concentration-dependent killing action against C. perfrignens. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of cyadox against 60 clinical isolates ranged from 0.5 to 8 μg/mL, with MIC50 and MIC90 values of 2 and 4 μg/mL, respectively. The MIC was 2 μg/mL against the pathogenic C. perfrignens isolate CPFK122995 in both broth and ileum fluid. According to the inhibitory sigmoid Emax modeling, the AUC24h/MIC ratios of ileum fluid required to achieve the bacteriostatic, bactericidal, and virtual bacterial elimination effects were 26.72, 39.54, and 50.69 h, respectively. Monte Carlo simulations for the 90% target attainment rate (TAR) predicted daily doses of 29.30, 42.56, and 54.50 mg/kg over 24 h to achieve bacteriostatic, bactericidal, and elimination actions, respectively. The results of this study suggest that cyadox is a promising antibacterial agent for the treatment of C. perfringens infections, and can be used to inform its clinical use.
