A simplified amoxicillin regimen with dose frequency based on post-natal age in neonates with confirmed or suspected infection.

Antimicrob Agents Chemother

Medical School, University of Western Australia, Harry Perkins Research Institute, Fiona Stanley Hospital, Murdoch, Western Australia, Australia.

Amoxicillin plus gentamicin is the recommended first-line empiric therapy for neonates with infection. Guidelines vary widely in dose (mg/kg), dose frequency, and adjustments according to post-menstrual age (PMA) and post-natal age (PNA). We aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for amoxicillin in neonates with clinical evidence of sepsis and design optimal dosing regimens.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance represents a significant public health challenge, resulting in an estimated 4.95 million deaths annually. In response to the global escalation of antimicrobial resistance in prevalent hospital-acquired infections such as surgical site infections (SSIs), the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified critical and priority pathogens necessitating research and development.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of clindamycin versus cefazolin in preventing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty (HA) for femoral neck fractures.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1,139 patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent HA for femoral neck fractures between January 2017 and October 2023. Patients received either Cefazolin + Gentamicin (n = 1001) or Clindamycin + Gentamicin (n = 138).
