General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Piperacillin is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum ureidopenicillin antibiotic. It is derived from ampicillin. It has been used in pharmacokinetic studies in order to optimize antimicrobial therapy in patients with sepsis. It is used to study piperacillin hypersensitivity reactions and to study multidrug-resistant organisms.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Piperacillin inhibits the last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to certain penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which results in cell lysis. Cell lysis is mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes. Piperacillin may interfere with autolysin inhibitors.

Studies evaluating the outcomes of an extended-infusion (EI) piperacillin-tazobactam dosing strategy in specific cohorts of critically ill patients are lacking. A retrospective, pre-implementation and post-implementation study of 148 critically ill patients was conducted to compare EI and traditional infusion piperacillin-tazobactam.

The clinical efficacy of continuous infusion of piperacillin/tazobactam in critically ill patients with microbiologically documented infections is currently unknown. We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study in 7 Portuguese intensive care units (ICU). We included 569 critically ill adult patients
