Metronidazole is frequently used off-label in infants with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) to provide coverage against anaerobic organisms, but its safety and efficacy in this indication are unknown. Metronidazole safety was evaluated by reporting of adverse events (AEs) and safety events of special interest. In a cohort of late pre-term and term infants with cIAIs, combination antibiotic therapy that included metronidazole was safe, and therapeutic success was high.

We examined laboratory and clinical features that might improve pediatric hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonias (HABP/VABP) trial efficiency by identifying risk factors predisposing children to HABP/VABP and describing the epidemiology of pediatric HABP/VABP. Food and Drug Administration-defined HABP/VABP occurred in 10%-12% of pediatric patients admitted to ICUs. Risk factors vary by age group.

Doxycycline is a tetracycline-class antimicrobial labeled by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration for children >8 years of age for many common childhood infections. Doxycycline is not labeled for children ≤8 years of age, due to the association between tetracycline class antibiotics and tooth staining. We leveraged opportunistically-collected plasma samples after intravenous (IV) and oral doxycycline doses received per standard of care to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of doxycycline in children of different ages between 0 and 18 years.
