Activity of clindamycin against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis from four UK centres

Abstract: MICs of penicillin, methicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin, sodium fusidate and gentamicin were determined by an agar dilution method for 300 current isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 100 of S. epidermidis, collected from four centres, and 38 stock strains of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). All but one of the 300 current isolates of S. aureus were sensitive to clindamycin (MIC less than 0.5 mg/l), with an MIC90 of 0.12 mg/l. Of a total of 39 MRSA strains, 11 (28.2%) were resistant to clindamycin (M… Show more

“…Patients who would receive Ͼ900 mg following weight-based dosing (Ͼ75 kg for 12 mg/kg and Ͼ90 kg for 10 mg/kg) received a maximum dose of 900 mg. Unbound, steady-state clindamycin concentrations at half the dosing interval (fC 50,SS ) were calculated assuming a fraction unbound of 6% (7,27). The proportion of virtual participants with an fC 50,SS greater than a MIC of 0.12 g/ml (MIC 90 for Staphylococcus aureus) following optimal dosing was calculated (28).…”

“…We calculated the area under the concentration versus time curve from 0 to infinity after a single dose (AUC 0-∞ ) to represent the area under the concentration versus time curve from 0 to tau at steady state (AUC 0-8,ss ) using a non-compartmental analysis. We also calculated the percent of participants with simulated clindamycin concentrations in target organs and tissues (bone, lung, and skin) >MRSA MIC (0.5 mg/L) for at least 50% of the dosing interval following the optimized pediatric dosing regimen (7). …”

“…Also, the availability of adult literature data and pediatric opportunistic data collected from infants to adolescents provided the necessary in vivo data needed to evaluate model performance. Last, clindamycin has pharmacologic properties that make it ideally suited for PBPK modeling: as a CYP3A4 substrate, its clearance will be affected by developmental changes; and target tissue concentrations for MRSA therapy in the lung, bones, and skin have been established as pharmacodynamic endpoints that can be simulated by the PBPK model (7, 8). …”

“…Finally, the simulated unbound, steady-state concentration at half the dosing interval (fC ss,50 ) was calculated for each virtual subject assuming a fraction unbound of 17% (9). The proportion of virtual participants with an fC ss,50 greater than an MIC of 0.12 g/ml (previously reported MIC 90 for S. aureus) after the optimal dosing was calculated (18).…”
