BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This assay assesses the antimicrobial efficacy of test articles in a lung infection model with a carbapenem resistant strain. The microbial counts in tissue are measured. P. aeruginosa can cause life-threatening lung, wound, and urinary tract infections as well as peritonitis and septicemia. This carbapenem resistant strain carries the following antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes: bcr1, catB7, IMP-1, OXA-396, PDC-3, PAO, tet(A) and tet(G). The carbapenem resistance may be due to expression of the IMP-1 metallo beta-lactamase. It is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides and quinolones. It is susceptible to colistin. The FDA-CDC Antimicrobial Resistance Isolate Bank supplied this strain and the genome sequence annotation of AMR genes.

TESTING INFORMATION

PROCEDURE SUMMARY

Groups of 5 neutropenic mice are used. Animals are intranasally inoculated with pathogen suspension then test articles or vehicle are administered at time points after inoculation. Doses may be administered IV, SC, PO, IM, IP or by IV infusion. At 24 after the first treatment, animals are humanely euthanized and tissue is aseptically removed. Tissue is homogenized and pathogen counts are determined by plating to agar medium. Pathogen counts from treatment groups are compared to vehicle groups and the significance of an effect is determined.

CRITERIA FOR SIGNIFICANCE

Significant difference is determined at ≥ 2-log or P < 0.05
