PURPOSE: This study evaluates the in vitro potency of piperacillin/tazobactam among a global collection of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CR-PA) and assesses the adequacy of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) P aeruginosa breakpoint dose in the setting of CR-PA using Monte Carlo simulation.

METHODS: Isolates were collected during the Enhancing Rational Antimicrobials Against Carbapenem-Resistant P aeruginosa (ERACE-PA) Global Surveillance Program. Piperacillin/tazobactam MICs were determined using broth microdilution per CLSI standards. A 5000-patient Monte Carlo simulation was performed using various piperacillin/tazobactam dosing regimens to determine the probability of target attainment (PTA) for 50% free time above the MIC. The MIC distribution of piperacillin/tazobactam-susceptible CR-PA was used to calculate cumulative fraction of response (CFR). Optimal PTA and CFR were defined as 90% target achievement.

FINDINGS: A total of 28% of tested CR-PA were piperacillin/tazobactam susceptible. Of these, 71% had MICs of 8 to 16/4 mg/L. Doses of 3.375 g q6h as 0.5-hour infusion (current breakpoint dose) had adequate PTA at MIC of 8/4 mg/L (CFR, 81%); however, extended infusion of 3 or 4 hours improved PTA at 16/4 mg/L (CFR, >90%). Doses of 4.5 g q8h as a 4-hour infusion and 4.5 g q6h as a 3-hour infusion both provide >90% PTA at an MIC of 16 mg/L (CFRs, 97 and 100%, respectively), favoring susceptible dose dependent interpretive criteria with these regimens.

IMPLICATIONS: Although susceptible, piperacillin/ tazobactam has reduced potency in CR-PA. If piperacillin/tazobactam is used for susceptible CR-PA, high-doses (4.5 g q6h) and extended infusion (3 hours or continuous infusion) are needed to optimize exposure.
