==Overview==
Acute bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency; commence empiric treatment after obtaining blood and/or [[cerebrospinal fluid|cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)]] cultures if the possibility of bacterial meningitis becomes evident. Once a bacterial etiology has been identified on a [[CSF]] [[Gram stain]], treatment regimen should be optimized accordingly. Further modifications may be required after the culture and/or ''in vitro'' susceptibility results are available.  Neuroimaging (such as [[CT scan]] and [[MRI]]) or [[lumbar puncture]] must not delay antimicrobial therapy.
==Principles of Therapy for Bacterial Meningitis==
====Factors Determining Antimicrobial Activity====
* Factors determine the acitivity of antimicrobial agents include [[pharmacodynamics]], [[pharmacokinetics]], penetration into the CSF, and [[bactericidal]] activity within the CSF.<ref name="Andes-1999">{{Cite journal  | last1 = Andes | first1 = DR. | last2 = Craig | first2 = WA. | title = Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibiotics in meningitis. | journal = Infect Dis Clin North Am | volume = 13 | issue = 3 | pages = 595-618 | month = Sep | year = 1999 | doi =  | PMID = 10470557 }}</ref>
* [[Beta-lactam]]s, [[aminoglycoside]]s, [[glycopeptide]]s, [[linezolid]], and [[daptomycin]] are considered to have poor penetration into the CSF, while [[fluoroquinolone]]s, [[chloramphenicol]], [[aztreonam]], and [[tigecycline]] generally achieve [[MIC|minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)]] in the CSF at standard dosage.<ref name="Nau-2010">{{Cite journal  | last1 = Nau | first1 = R. | last2 = Sörgel | first2 = F. | last3 = Eiffert | first3 = H. | title = Penetration of drugs through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid/blood-brain barrier for treatment of central nervous system infections. | journal = Clin Microbiol Rev | volume = 23 | issue = 4 | pages = 858-83 | month = Oct | year = 2010 | doi = 10.1128/CMR.00007-10 | PMID = 20930076 }}</ref>
* [[Aminoglycoside]]s and [[fluoroquinolone]]s express a concentration-dependent manner of bactericidal activity; [[beta-lactam]]s typically follow a a time-dependent antimicrobial pattern (i.e., the activity is dependent on the time that CSF concentration exceeds [[MIC]] as a proportion of the dosing interval).
* Penetration into the CSF is less prominent for drugs with a high [[molecular weight]], high protein-binding ability, low lipid solubility, and drugs that are subject to [[active transport]] in the [[choroid plexus]] such as [[penicillin]]s and [[cephalosporin]]s. Toxicity due to dose escalation may limit the usage the [[aminoglycoside]]s, [[glycopeptide]]s, and [[polymyxin]]s, thus [[intrathecal]] or [[intraventricular]] administration might be occasionally required (see table below).

====Duration of Antimicrobial Therapy====
* The duration of therapy in patients with bacterial meningitis has not been well-supported by evidence-based data.
* The IDSA Practice Guideline provides recommendations on the duration of antimicrobial agents based on microorganisms (see table below). However, the duration of antimicrobial therapy should be individualized in accordance with patient's clinical response.
* Maximum [[parenteral]] dosage should be maintained throughout the recommended duration of therapy to ensure adequate bactericidal concentrations are attained since antimicrobial entry attenuates as [[meninges|meningeal]] inflammation subsides, especially when [[dexamethasone]] is co-administered.
