Objectives: Reduced in vitro beta-Lactam activity against a dense bacterial population is well recognized. It is com- monly attributed to the presence of beta-Lactamase(s) and it is unknown whether the inoculum effect could be diminished by a beta-Lactamase inhibitor. We evaluated different beta-Lactam/beta-Lactamase inhibitor combinations in suppressing a high inoculum of ESBL-producing bacteria.Methods: Three clinical isolates expressing representative ESBLs (CTX-M-15 and SHV-12) were examined. The impact of escalating beta-Lactamase inhibitor (tazobactam or avibactam) concentrations on beta-Lactam (piperacillin or ceftazidime) MIC reduction was characterized by an inhibitory sigmoid E-max model. The effect of various dos- ing regimens of beta-Lactam/beta-Lactamase inhibitor combinations was predicted using %T->MICi , and selected expo- sures were experimentally validated in a hollow-fibre infection model over 120 h. The threshold exposure to sup- press bacterial regrowth was identified using recursive partitioning.Results: A concentration-dependent reduction in B-Lactam MIC was observed (r(2) >= 0.93). Regrowth could be suppressed in all six experiments using %T->MICi >= 73.6%, but only one out of six experiments below the threshold (P= 0.015). The exposures to suppress regrowth might be attained using the clinical dose of avibactam, but a much higher dose than the standard dose would be needed for tazobactam.Conclusions: A dense population of ESBL-producing bacteria could be suppressed by an optimized dosing regi- men of selected beta-Lactam/beta-Lactamase inhibitor combinations. The reversibility of enzyme inhibition could play an important role in diminishing the inoculum effect. In vivo investigations to validate these findings are warranted.
