Multicenter Cohort Study of Ceftaroline Versus Daptomycin for Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infection

Evan J. Zasowski et al.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes of MRSA bloodstream infection treated with ceftaroline or daptomycin. The results show no difference in treatment failure or mortality between the two antibiotics. Ceftaroline may be considered as a primary treatment for MRSA bloodstream infection and can be used as an alternative to vancomycin and daptomycin.

Kyra Y. L. Chua et al.

Summary: This study showed that the program of inpatient delabeling for low-risk penicillin allergies using a combination of direct delabeling and oral penicillin challenge led to increased usage of narrow-spectrum penicillins, improved appropriate antibiotic prescribing, and reduced usage of restricted antibiotics.

Vancomycin Advanced Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Exercise in Futility or Virtuous Endeavor to Improve Drug Efficacy and Safety?

Thomas J. Dilworth et al.

Summary: Vancomycin therapy often involves empirical use without the necessity of AUC monitoring. Guidelines recommending AUC monitoring are based on limited evidence and should be used cautiously.

Environmental conditions dictate differential evolution of vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Henrique Machado et al.

Summary: Henrique Machado and colleagues describe mutational mechanisms associated with MRSA vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus using adaptive laboratory evolution experiments focused on tolerance. Their results reveal environment-dependent mutational strategies to vancomycin tolerization and the impact of mutations in regulatory genes, providing insight into the development of antibiotic resistance under multiple conditions.

Comparative Effectiveness of Switching to Daptomycin Versus Remaining on Vancomycin Among Patients With Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bloodstream Infections

Marin L. Schweizer et al.

Summary: Among patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections, switching to daptomycin is associated with lower 30-day mortality, especially when done within 3 days of initial vancomycin receipt. However, switching to daptomycin at any time during the first hospitalization did not significantly affect 30-day mortality.

Current Paradigms of Combination Therapy in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bacteremia: Does it Work, Which Combination, and For Which Patients?

Warren Rose et al.

Summary: Literature has shown the effectiveness of combination antimicrobial therapy in treating refractory MRSA bacteremia, but considerations need to be made on which regimens are more beneficial, potential harms, and which patients can benefit from more aggressive treatment. In addition, combination therapy for MRSA bacteremia does not need to be uniform throughout the treatment course, with options for early intensive treatment and later consolidation therapy.

Impact of a vancomycin loading dose on the achievement of target vancomycin exposure in the first 24 h and on the accompanying risk of nephrotoxicity in critically ill patients

C. J. Hodiamont et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of a weight-based loading dose of 25 mg/kg vancomycin on achieving the PK/PD target of AUC(0-24)>= 400 mg.h/L without increasing the risk of AKI in critically ill patients. The results showed a significant increase in the percentage of patients achieving the target AUC with the loading dose, but there was a higher risk of AKI with higher AUC levels.
