Antimicrobials (SAGAM) was mandated to give advice to the 3 CVMP on the need to exercise certain control on those classes of compounds of greater importance to 4 human medicine e.g. fluoroquinolones and 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins. 5 6 This document discusses cephalosporins with a focus on substances of the 3rd and 4th generation and 7 food production animals, excluding aquaculture. 8 9 INTRODUCTION 10 Cephalosporins of the 3rd and 4th generation represent subclasses of antimicrobials which are very 11 important in the treatment of severe and invasive infections in humans and are therefore of special 12 interest from a public health perspective. The first nosocomial outbreaks of bacteria resisting these 13 cephalosporins by production of beta-lactamases were described in the 80s (Gniadkowski, 2001). 14 Since then, the occurrence of infections with bacteria resistant to 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins 15 e.g. Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa has 16 increased worldwide. Increased resistance implies either delayed adequate treatment or initial use of 17 second and third line alternatives. Some of the latter carry a higher risk of adverse reactions (e.g. 18 aminoglycosides) or are clearly more toxic (e.g. colistin). Due to delayed adequate therapy, the burden 19 of infections with bacteria resistant to 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins can be substantial with 20 severe outcomes, including both higher overall and higher infection-related mortality, increased length 21 of hospital stay, and higher costs (Schwaber & Carmeli, 2007). 22 23 In Europe, infections with bacteria resistant to 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins were previously 24 mainly caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, and were mostly diagnosed in specialist units (Livermore et 25 al., 2007). In the last decade, this pattern has changed and resistance is rapidly emerging not only in 26 hospitals, but also in community-acquired infections. Pathogens carrying genes encoding these 27 resistance traits now include also e.g. E. coli and Salmonella (Anonymous, 2006; Canton & Coque, 28 2006; Livermore et al., 2007). Linkage to other resistance genes and co-selection by unrelated 29 antimicrobials are important in the epidemiology of these resistance genes (Canton & Coque, 2006). 30 31 This change in behaviour, with typically nosocomial organisms spreading to and from the community, 32 indicates an exchange of organisms or genes with other, perhaps non-human bacterial reservoirs. 33 Resistance has emerged in some countries in both Salmonella and E. coli from food producing animals 34 (Livermore et al., 2007). This suggests that animals may act as possible important reservoirs for 35 transferable beta-lactamases. Third and 4th generation cephalosporins are used for food producing 36 animals and could potentially influence the prevalence of resistance. In addition, co-selection by other 37 antimicrobials used for mass medication may contribute to the occurrence and dissemination of 38 resistance determinants in animals. 39 40 OBJECTIVE 41 The objective of this document is to critically review recent information on the use of cephalosporins 42 of the 3rd and 4th generation in food-producing animals in the EU, its effect on development of 43 resistance to this category of antimicrobial agents in bacterial species that are of importance for human 44 and animal health, and the potential impact on human and animal health. 45 EMEA/CVMP/SAGAM/81730/2006- CONSULTATION 3/37 46 BACKGROUND 47 Mechanism of action, classification and spectrum of activity 48 The mechanism of antibacterial activity of the cephalosporins and cephamycins is essentially the same 49 as for benzylpenicillin and other beta-lactam antimicrobials; they interfere with the formation of the 50 cell wall by binding to enzymes that are active in the synthesis of peptidoglycans (transpeptidases, also 51 called penicillin binding

Hal ini menjadi ancaman terhadap kesehatan masyarakat karena merupakan bakteri yang multi-drug resistance dan sulit diobati. Oleh karena itu, pentingnya pengembangan agen antimikroba untuk mengobati infeksi semakin meningkat dan salah satu yang saat ini banyak dikembangkan adalah senyawa turunan sefalosporin. Penelitian ini melakukan studi mengenai interaksi tiga dimensi (3D) antara antibiotik dari senyawa turunan Sefalosporin dengan penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) pada P. aeruginosa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengklarifikasi bahwa agen antimikroba yang berasal dari senyawa turunan sefalosporin efektif untuk menghambat aktivitas bakteri P. aeruginosa. Struktur PBPs didapatkan dari Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 5DF9). Sketsa struktur turunan sefalosporin digambar menggunakan Marvins Sketch. Kemudian, studi mengenai interaksi antara antibiotik dan PBPs dilakukan menggunakan program Mollegro Virtual Docker 6.0. Hasil yang didapatkan yaitu nilai rerank score terendah dari kelima generasi sefalosporin, di antaranya sefalotin (-116.306), sefotetan (-133.605), sefoperazon (-160.805), sefpirom (- 144.045), dan seftarolin fosamil (-146.398). Keywords: antibiotik, penicillin-binding proteins, P. aeruginosa, sefalosporin, studi interaksi ABSTRACT Infections caused by gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have been spreading worldwide.

Duhamel2, Jantijn Swinkels3, Pascal Rainard4,5, Ynte Schukken1 1 Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, United States of America, 2 Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, United States of America, 3 GD Animal Health Center, Deventer, The Netherlands, 4 INRA, UMR1282, Infectiologie Animale et Sante´ Publique, Nouzilly, France, 5 Universite´ Franc¸ois Rabelais de Tours, UMR1282 ISP, Tours, France Abstract Clinical mastitis caused by E. coli accounts for significant production losses and animal welfare concerns on dairy farms worldwide. The benefits of therapeutic intervention in mild to moderate cases are incompletely understood. We investigated the effect of intramammary treatment with cefapirin alone or in combination with prednisolone on gene expression profiles in experimentally-induced E. coli mastitis in six mid-lactating Holstein Friesian cows. Cows were challenged with E. coli in 3 quarters and received 4 doses of 300 mg cefapirin in one quarter and 4 doses of 300 mg cefapirin together with 20 mg prednisolone in another quarter. At 24 h (n = 3) or 48 h (n = 3) post-challenge, tissue samples from control and treated quarters were collected for microarray analysis. Gene expression analysis of challenged, un-treated quarters revealed an up-regulation of transcripts associated with immune response functions compared to un-challenged quarters. Both treatments resulted in down-regulation of these transcripts compared to challenged, un-treated quarters most prominently for genes representing Chemokine and TLR-signaling pathways.

  • Impact of Experimental Trauma and Niflumic Acid Administration on Antimicrobials’ Concentration in Serum and Mandible of Rats
    J Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact 2006; 6(3):242-246 Original Article Hylonome Impact of experimental trauma and niflumic acid administration on antimicrobials’ concentration in serum and mandible of rats A. Kotsiou1, M. Anagnostou2, C. Mourouzis2, G. Rallis3, Ch. Chantzi1, C. Tesseromatis2 1Aretaieion University Hospital Athens, 2Department of Pharmacology, Medical School, University of Athens, 3Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, General Hospital of Athens, Greece Abstract Administration of antibiotics and analgesics in surgery or trauma is of great importance for an effective treatment. Trauma, as stress stimulus, causes alterations in various functions of the organism as well as in drug pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of trauma upon the serum and bone levels of the antimicrobial ampicillin and cefapirin, with and without co-administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic (NSAIDs). Fifty-six male Wistar rats were divid- ed into two groups A (control) and B (experimental). Each group consisted of 4 subgroups (n=7) receiving ampicillin, ampi- cillin with niflunic acid, cefapirin, and cefapirin with niflunic acid. In group B traumatic injury was performed by incision (7mm length) in the right cheek. The levels of the antibiotics were estimated by the inhibition zone of B. subtilis. An increase in antibiotic levels was observed in group B, being statistically significant only for cefapirin level in the mandible. Upon niflumic acid co-administration a statistically significant rise in serum ampicillin and mandible cefapirin levels was observed in both control and experimental groups (student t-test). It can be concluded that the combination of antibiotics and non-steroid anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may enhance the antibacterial drug concentration.

  • Comparative Pharmacokinetics of Cephalosporin Antimicrobials and Accuracy of Allometric Scaling in Food-Producing and Companion Animals Femke J
    Taverne et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2016) 12:185 DOI 10.1186/s12917-016-0817-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Modelling concentrations of antimicrobial drugs: comparative pharmacokinetics of cephalosporin antimicrobials and accuracy of allometric scaling in food-producing and companion animals Femke J. Taverne1,2,3*, Ingeborg M. van Geijlswijk1,3, Dick J. J. Heederik1,2, Jaap A. Wagenaar1,4,5 and Johan W. Mouton1,6 Abstract Background: To optimize antimicrobial dosing in different animal species, pharmacokinetic information is necessary. Due to the plethora of cephalosporin antimicrobials and animal species in which they are used, assessment of pharmacokinetics in all species is unfeasible. In this study we aimed to describe pharmacokinetic data of cephalosporins by reviewing the available literature for food producing and companion animal species. We assessed the accuracy of interspecies extrapolation using allometric scaling techniques to determine pharmacokinetic characteristics of cephalosporins in animal species for which literature data is unavailable. We assessed the accuracy of allometric scaling by comparing the predicted and the published pharmacokinetic value in an animal species/humans not included in the allometric modelling. Results: In general, excretion of cephalosporins takes place mainly through renal mechanisms in the unchanged form and volume of distribution is limited in all animal species. Differences in plasma protein binding capacity and elimination half-life are observed but available information was limited. Using allometric scaling, correlations between body weight (BW) and volume of distribution (Vd) and clearance (Cl) were R2 > 0.97 and R2 > 0.95 respectively for ceftazidime, ceftiofur, cefquinome and cefepime but not ceftriaxone. The allometric exponent ranged from 0.80 to 1.31 for Vd and 0.83 to 1.24 for Cl.
