AIMS: Flucloxacillin is a frequently used antibiotic in the treatment of spondylodiscitis. We assessed steady-state concentrations and time above minimal inhibitory concentration (fT > MIC) of flucloxacillin in the intervertebral disc, vertebral cancellous bone, subcutaneous tissue and plasma, after intravenous and oral administration.

METHODS: Sixteen pigs were randomized into two groups; Group Peroral (Group PO) and Group Intravenous (Group IV) received 1 g flucloxacillin every 6 h for 24 h orally or intravenously. Microdialysis was used for sampling in the compartments of interest. A flucloxacillin target of 50% fT > MIC was applied for three MIC targets: 0.125, 0.5 and 2.0 μg/mL.

RESULTS: Intravenous administration resulted in significantly longer fT > MIC for all targets. Target attainment was only reached for the low target of 0.125 μg/mL in Group IV in vertebral cancellous bone, subcutaneous tissue, and plasma (intervertebral disc 47%). In Group IV, mean fT > MIC values in the investigated compartments were in the range of 47-67% of the dosing interval for 0.125 μg/mL, 20-35% for 0.5 μg/mL, and 0-15% for 2.0 μg/mL. In Group PO, mean fT > MIC values for 0.125 μg/mL were in the range of 1-33%. No pigs reached a concentration of 0.5 μg/mL in any of the investigated compartments in Group PO.

CONCLUSION: Administration of 1 g flucloxacillin every 6 h resulted in surprisingly low steady-state fT > MIC after intravenous and oral administration. However, intravenous administration resulted in significantly higher concentrations across compartments compared to oral administration. Sufficient target tissue concentrations for treatment of spondylodiscitis may require a dose increase or alternative dosing regimens.
