Background  Ceftiofur Sodium is widely used in China. Our aim was to determine Ceftiofur Sodium activity and optimize dosing regimens against the pathogen  Haemophilus parasuis  using an in vitro and ex vivo pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics modeling approach. By adopting these strategies, we wanted to extend the effective life of Ceftiofur Sodium in reduce drug-resistance in pigs.    Results  We established an  H. parasuis  infection model in pigs, and assessed the pharmacokinetics of Ceftiofur Sodium in both healthy and infected animals. After Ceftiofur Sodium (10 mg/kg, i.m.) administration to healthy and  H. parasuis -infected pigs, plasma based desfuroylceftiofur (a metabolite of Ceftiofur Sodium) was measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The pharmacokinetics of Ceftiofur Sodium (desfuroylceftiofur) was consistent with a two-compartment open model, with first-order absorption. We observed no significant differences ( P  > 0.05) in pharmacokinetic parameters between healthy and infected pigs. Pharmacodynamics data showed that Ceftiofur Sodium was highly inhibitory against  H. parasuis , with MIC, MBC, and MPC values of 0.003125, 0.0125 and 0.032 μg/mL, respectively. Desfuroylceftiofur in plasma also had strong bactericidal activity. Almost all  H. parasuis  cultured in plasma medium of Ceftiofur Sodium-inoculated healthy pigs, at each time point, were killed within 24 h. A weaker antibacterial activity was measured in infected-pig plasma medium at 18, 24, 36, and 48 h, after Ceftiofur Sodium inoculation. Pharmacokinetic parameters were combined with ex vivo pharmacodynamic parameters, and the bacteriostatic effect (36.006 h), bactericidal effect (71.637 h) and clearance (90.619 h) within 24 h, were determined using the Hill equation. Dose-calculation equations revealed the optimal dose of Ceftiofur Sodium to be 0.599–1.507 mg/kg.    Conclusions  There were no significant differences in Ceftiofur Sodium pharmacokinetic parameters between healthy and infected pigs, although pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics fitting curves showed obviously differences. The optimal dose of Ceftiofur Sodium was lower than recommended (3 mg/kg), which may provide improved treatments for Glässers disease, with lower drug-resistance possibility.
