61-year-old man, with a history of years of unknown etiology bronchiectasis, with chronic bronchial infection by , who received treatment with a double lung transplant on 08/20/2020. Persistent positive cultures of after transplant in respiratory samples was observed, and treatment with inhaled tobramycin 300 mg/12 hours was started. One month after treatment, a significant worsening of renal function was observed, which was already altered, and toxic levels of tobramycin were measured in blood samples 12 hours after the last inhaled administration. After stopping treatment, kidney function returned to its baseline values.

Article Synopsis
- Tracheostomy tubes increase the risk of respiratory infections, and initial treatment often involves nebulized tobramycin, but there’s a lack of standardized treatment guidelines.
- A study used a breathing simulator to test how much tobramycin reaches simulated children with tracheostomies, comparing delivery methods and doses for different child weights.
- Results showed that jet nebulizers delivered significantly more tobramycin than vibrating mesh nebulizers, highlighting the need for better dosing strategies and further research on drug delivery efficiency and higher dosages for this patient group.
Effects of prophylactic nebulized antibiotics on the prevention of ICU-acquired pneumonia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic nebulized antibiotics in preventing intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired pneumonia through a meta-analysis.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the potential reduction in the incidence of ICU-acquired pneumonia through prophylactic nebulized antibiotics were collected by searching the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from their inception to January 23, 2024. The primary endpoint was the incidence of ICU-acquired pneumonia, while the secondary endpoints included mortality, length of ICU stay, mechanical ventilation days, and nebulization-related side effects.
Psychometric Validation and Determination of the Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Bronchiectasis Health Questionnaire in Adults with Bronchiectasis.
Ann Am Thorac Soc

State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Diseases, Guangzhou, China.
Rationale: The Bronchiectasis Health Questionnaire (BHQ) is a concise, self-administered and disease-specific instrument for measuring health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) in bronchiectasis.
Objectives: To investigate the psychometric properties of simplified Mandarin BHQ and determine the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) as a reliable clinical endpoint for assessing the efficacy of bronchiectasis treatments.
Methods: A longitudinal, randomized controlled trial cohort of 357 patients treated with tobramycin inhalation solution or saline inhalation for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, along with a cross-sectional observational cohort including 436 patients with bronchiectasis were analyzed.

() poses a significant threat to individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), as this bacterium is highly adaptable and resistant to antibiotics. While early-stage infections can often be eradicated with aggressive antibiotic therapy, chronic infections are nearly impossible to eliminate and require treatments that focus on long-term bacterial suppression. Without such suppression, these persistent infections can severely damage the lungs, leading to serious complications and a reduced life expectancy for CF patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled cationic antibiotics, including tobramycin (TOB) and colistin (CST), using an in vitro alginate bead model that simulates Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung biofilms.
Methods: Bioluminescent P. aeruginosa were encapsulated within alginate beads and dispersed in either Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB) or artificial sputum medium (ASM).
