- Abstract
To explore the in vivo antimicrobial activity of cefquinome against Pasteurella multocida in piglets, a piglet tissue cage infection model was used in this study. After the population of P. multocida reached 107 CFU/mL in a tissue cage, piglets received an intramuscular administration of cefquinome at 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg once daily for 3 days. To assess the tissue cage pharmacokinetics (PKTCF) of cefquinome, tissue cage fluid was collected for cefquinome analysis at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 hr after each of the 3 daily drug administrations. Bacteria were counted every 24 hr after drug administration and at 48 and 72 hr after the last administration. Evaluation of the relationship between pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters and the antibacterial effect showed that the surrogate of %T > minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (R2 = 0.981) was the best PK/PD index that correlated with effectiveness of cefquinome against P. multocida. The respective values of %T > MIC required for continuous 1/3‐log, 1/2‐log, and 1‐log reductions were 14.23, 34.45, and 73.44%, respectively, during each 24‐hr treatment period. In conclusion, cefquinome exhibited a potent antibacterial effect against P. multocida. When %T > MIC reached 73.44%, cefquinome exhibited a bactericidal effect against P. multocida after three successive daily administrations.
