Experimental: Patients treated by amikacin and piperacillin

Biological: Plasma dosage of amikacin, piperacillin and tazobactam
Pharmacokinetic (PK) criteria will be used to judge whether the PK parameters of amikacin are predictive of those of piperacillin and tazobactam |
- Change in plasma concentration of amikacin during the first 24 hours after administration [ Time Frame: First 24 hours of the antimicrobial treatment (Hour 1, Hour 5, Hour 7 and Hour 24) ]
- Change in plasma concentration of piperacillin during the first 24 hours after administration [ Time Frame: First 24 hours of the antimicrobial treatment (Hour 1, Hour 5, Hour 7 and Hour 24) ]
- Change in plasma concentration of tazobactam during the first 24 hours after administration [ Time Frame: First 24 hours of the antimicrobial treatment (Hour 1, Hour 5, Hour 7 and Hour 24) ]
- Dose administered of amikacin at baseline [ Time Frame: Hour 0 (Baseline) ]
- Dose administered of piperacillin at baseline [ Time Frame: Hour 0 (Baseline) ]
- Dose administered of tazobactam at baseline [ Time Frame: Hour 0 (Baseline) ]
- Change in plasma volume of distribution of amikacin during the first 24 hours after administration [ Time Frame: First 24 hours of the antimicrobial treatment (Hour 1, Hour 5, Hour 7 and Hour 24) ]
In order to evaluate whether the PK parameters of amikacin are predictive of those of piperacillin and tazobactam.
Plasma volume of distribution is one of the two PK parameters evaluated in this study (with clearance), calculated with drug plasma concentration and dose administered
