    Study Notes

    Aminoglycoside Antibiotics: Key Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties

    • Anaerobic bacteria are universally resistant to aminoglycosides due to their oxygen-dependent transport into cells.
    • Aminoglycosides, including Gentamicin, Tobramycin, and Amikacin, must be administered parenterally due to poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
    • The pharmacodynamic properties of aminoglycosides include concentration-dependent killing and significant post-antibiotic effect, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and peak/MIC ratio being crucial.
    • Key parameters for dosing aminoglycosides include therapeutic serum concentration, volume of distribution, clearance, and area under the curve (AUC).
    • Aminoglycosides exhibit concentration-toxicity relationships, with risk of ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity associated with certain trough levels for different drugs.
    • The ideal dosing regimen for aminoglycosides aims to maximize concentration, with the peak/MIC ratio being an important predictor of efficacy.
    • When given by intravenous infusion, aminoglycosides follow a 3-compartment pharmacokinetic model, with a tissue release phase occurring approximately sixteen hours post-infusion.
    • The extended-interval dosing of aminoglycosides is based on their pharmacodynamic properties, requiring a large initial dose to maximize killing and allowing a dosing interval of 24-36 hours to decrease toxicity.
    • The volume of distribution for aminoglycosides is influenced by factors such as adipose tissue, excess fluid weight, and age, with specific considerations for pediatric patients.
    • Aminoglycosides are eliminated almost entirely by the renal route, with clearance being influenced by factors such as creatinine clearance and disease states like cystic fibrosis and metabolic conditions.
    • The elimination half-life of aminoglycosides is variable and influenced by volume of distribution and clearance, necessitating careful initial dose and dosing interval selection.
    • Correct timing of sample collection for aminoglycoside serum concentration is crucial, with specific equations used for back-extrapolating plasma concentration to the clinical peak.

    • Aminoglycosides, such as Gentamicin, Tobramycin, and Amikacin, must be administered parenterally due to poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Concentration-dependent killing is a key pharmacodynamic property of aminoglycosides, with a significant post-antibiotic effect.
    • Therapeutic serum concentration for conventional dosing is achieved through once daily dosing, with a volume of distribution (V) of 0.25 L/Kg and clearance (Cl) equal to Clcr.
    • Aminoglycosides have a concentration-toxicity relationship, with risk of ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity associated with specific trough levels for different drugs.
    • The ideal dosing regimen for aminoglycosides aims to maximize concentration, with the highest efficacy achieved at a Peak/MIC ratio of at least 8-10.
    • Aminoglycosides follow a 3-compartment pharmacokinetic model when given by IV infusion over 30 minutes, with a tissue release phase beginning approximately sixteen hours post infusion.
    • Extended interval (EI) dosing of aminoglycosides is based on their pharmacodynamic properties, requiring a large dose to maximize killing and providing a beneficial washout period during the tissue release phase.
    • The volume of distribution for aminoglycosides is 0.25 L/kg, which distributes poorly into adipose tissue and varies for pediatric patients based on age and weight.
    • Aminoglycosides are eliminated almost entirely by the renal route, with clearance being a function of creatinine clearance and exhibiting a close linear correlation with elimination rate.
    • The elimination half-life of aminoglycosides is a function of the volume of distribution and clearance, varying considerably among individuals based on renal function.
    • Correct timing of sample collection is crucial for monitoring aminoglycoside therapy, with peak serum concentrations obtained approximately 1 hour after the maintenance dose initiation and infusion periods typically lasting about 30 minutes.
