Validated animal models are required as bridging tools to assess the utility of novel therapies and potential microbiologic outcomes. Herein, we utilized uropathogenic extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and non-ESBL-producing in the neutropenic murine complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) model with humanized exposures of cefepime, ertapenem, and levofloxacin to assess its translational value to human outcomes. Our data support the translational utility of this murine model to cUTI in humans as humanized exposures produced microbiologic outcomes consistent with the phenotypic profiles of the organisms.
需要经过验证的动物模型作为桥梁工具,以评估新型疗法和潜在微生物学结果的效用。在此,我们利用产超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)和非产 ESBL 的 在中性粒细胞减少的鼠复杂性尿路感染(cUTI)模型中,进行了头孢吡肟、厄他培南和左氧氟沙星的人源化暴露,以评估其对人类结果的转化价值。我们的数据支持这种鼠模型在人类 cUTI 中的转化效用,因为人源化暴露产生的微生物学结果与生物体的表型特征一致。
