Abstrakt: Background Lack of uniformity in infection models complicates preclinical development. The COMBINE protocol has standardized the murine neutropenic pneumonia model. Herein we provide benchmark efficacy data of humanized exposures of tigecycline and levofloxacin in plasma and epithelial lining fluid (ELF) against a collection of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods Following the COMBINE protocol, plasma and ELF human-simulated regimens (HSRs) of tigecycline 100 mg followed by 50 mg q12h and levofloxacin 750 mg once daily were developed and confirmed in the murine neutropenic pneumonia model. Tigecycline HSRs were tested against seven K. pneumoniae isolates. Levofloxacin HSRs were assessed against 10 K. pneumoniae and 9 P. aeruginosa. The change in cfu/lung over 24 h for each treatment was calculated. Each isolate was tested in duplicate against both the plasma and ELF HSRs on separate experiment days. Results Tigecycline 1.8 and 3 mg/kg q12h achieved humanized exposures of serum and ELF, respectively. Levofloxacin 120 and 90 mg/kg q8h led to f AUC exposures in plasma and ELF similar to in humans. Both tigecycline regimens were ineffective across the MIC range. Levofloxacin regimens achieved multilog kill against susceptible isolates, and no appreciable cfu/lung reductions in isolates with an MIC of ≥32 mg/L. Differences in cfu/lung were evident between the levofloxacin plasma and ELF HSRs against isolates with MICs of 4 and 8 mg/L. Conclusions Administering HSRs of tigecycline and levofloxacin based on both serum/plasma and ELF in the COMBINE pneumonia model resulted in cfu/lung values reasonably aligned with MIC. These data serve as translational benchmarks for future investigations with novel compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
