Pharmacodynamic evaluation of suppression of in vitro resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii strains using polymyxin B-based combination therapy

The emergence of polymyxin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria infections has motivated the use of combination therapy. This study determined the mutant selection window (MSW) of polymyxin B alone and in combination with meropenem and fosfomycin against A. baumannii strains belonging to clonal lineages I and III. To evaluate the inhibition of in vitro drug resistance, we investigate the MSW-derived pharmacodynamic indices associated with resistance to polymyxin B administrated regimens as monotherapy and combination therapy, such as the percentage of each dosage interval that free plasma concentration was within the MSW (%TMSW) and the percentage of each dosage interval that free plasma concentration exceeded the mutant prevention concentration (%T>MPC). The MSW of polymyxin B varied between 1 and 16 µg/mL for polymyxin B-susceptible strains. The triple combination of polymyxin B with meropenem and fosfomycin inhibited the polymyxin B-resistant subpopulation in meropenem-resistant isolates and polymyxin B plus meropenem as a double combination sufficiently inhibited meropenem-intermediate, and susceptible strains. T>MPC 90% was reached for polymyxin B in these combinations, while %TMSW was 0 against all strains. TMSW for meropenem and fosfomycin were also reduced. Effective antimicrobial combinations significantly reduced MSW. The MSW-derived pharmacodynamic indices can be used for the selection of effective combination regimen to combat the polymyxin B-resistant strain.
