Abstract:
:Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are emerging multidrug-resistant bacteria responsible for invasive infections, including prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Local administration of colistin may provide bactericidal concentrations in situ. This study evaluated the efficacy of a colistin-impregnated cement spacer, alone and in combination with systemic antibiotics, in a rabbit model of CPE-PJI. Elution of 3 MIU of colistimethate sodium (CMS) in 40 g of poly(methyl methacrylate) cement was studied in vitro. In vivo, 5 × 108 CFU of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (colistin and meropenem MICs of 1 mg/L and 4 mg/L, respectively) were injected close to a prosthetic knee. Surgical debridement and prosthesis removal were performed 7 days later, and rabbits were assigned to six treatment groups (11-13 rabbits each): drug-free spacer; colistin-loaded spacer; colistin intramuscular (i.m.); colistin i.m. + colistin spacer; colistin i.m. + meropenem subcutaneous (s.c.); and colistin i.m. + meropenem s.c. + colistin spacer. Systemic treatment was administered at doses targeting pharmacokinetics in humans, and rabbits were euthanised 7 days later to evaluate bacterial counts in infected bones. In vitro, CMS elution was low (<0.1% at 24 h) but reached a local concentration of ≥20 mg/L (>20 × MIC). In vivo, combinations of local and systemic colistin, with or without meropenem, were the only regimens superior to the control group (P ≤ 0.05) in terms of viable bacterial counts and the proportion of rabbits with sterile bone, with no emergence of colistin-resistant strains. Colistin-loaded cement spacer in combination with systemic antibiotics were the most effective regimens in this CPE-PJI model.
