About
CEREMI is an open, randomised prospective study in parallel groups in healthy volunteers. This study compare the effect of a monotherapy by ceftriaxone or cefotaxime on the emergence of resistance of enterobacteria to 3rd-generation cephalosporins within the intestinal microbiota. Each volunteer will be treated for 3 days by either ceftriaxone (1 gram per day) or cefotaxime (1 gram every 8 hours).
Full description
Selection of resistant bacteria within the microbiota constitutes the main mechanism for the emergence and the diffusion of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Ceftriaxone is a 3rd generation cephalosporin that exposes the intestinal microbiota to an important selecting pressure, due to its high biliary clearance. It is thereby suspected to have an important role in the emergence of resistance of enterobacteria to 3rd generation cephalosporins. Its pharmacokinetics features allow a once daily administration, and it is more largely used than cefotaxime, which requires ter in die injections but whose mainly urinary elimination suggest a lower impact on the intestinal microbiota.
Our hypothesis is that ceftriaxone exerts a higher selecting pressure on the intestinal microbiota than cefotaxime.
Our main objective is to compare the effect of a monotherapy by ceftriaxone or cefotaxime on the emergence of resistance of enterobacteria to 3rd-generation cephalosporins within the intestinal microbiota.
Secondary objectives include :
The main evaluation criteria is the area under the curve of the 3rd generation cephalosporins resistant enterobacteria in the intestinal microbiota between D0 and D7.
Secondary evaluation criteria include :
Methodology :
Open, randomised prospective study in parallel groups in healthy volunteers. Each volunteer will be treated for 3 days by either ceftriaxone (1 gram per day) or cefotaxime (1 gram every 8 hours). Fecal samples will be collected before (3 samples, D-14, D-7 and D-1) and after the first administration of the antibiotic (D1, D2, D3, D4, D7, D10, D15, D30, D90, D180).
Bacterial analysis of the fecal samples will be performed blindly from the treatment group. Drug plasma concentration will be determined at steady-state (T0, T0.5h, T1h, T2h, T4, T6h for cefotaxime and T0, T0.5h, T1h, T2h, T4, T8h for ceftriaxone). Drug concentration in the feces will be measured on the samples obtained between D0 and D7.
Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed using the population approach. All statistical analysis will be performed using non parametric tests.
