Abstract
BACKGROUND High-dose daptomycin is increasingly used in patients with bone and joint infection (BJI). This raises concerns about a higher risk of adverse events (AEs), including daptomycin-induced eosinophilic pneumonia (DIEP) and myotoxicity. We aimed to examine pharmacokinetic and other potential determinants of DIEP and myotoxicity in patients with BJI receiving daptomycin. METHODS All patients receiving daptomycin for BJI were identified in a prospective cohort study. Cases were matched at a 1:3 ratio, with controls randomly selected from the same cohort. Bayesian estimation of the daptomycin daily area under the concentration-time curve over 24 hours (AUC24h) was performed with the Monolix software based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) data. Demographic and biological data were also collected. Risk factors of AEs were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS From 1130 patients followed over 7 years, 9 with DIEP, 26 with myotoxicity, and 106 controls were included in the final analysis. Daptomycin AUC24h, C-reactive protein, and serum protein levels were associated with the risk of AEs. The adjusted hazard ratio of DIEP or myotoxicity was 3.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.48-6.5; P < .001) for daptomycin AUC24h > 939 mg/h/L, 9.8 (95% CI, 3.94-24.5; P < .001) for C-reactive protein > 21.6 mg/L, and 2.4 (95% CI, 1.02-5.65; P = .04) for serum protein <72 g/L. CONCLUSIONS We identified common determinants of DIEP and myotoxicity in patients with BJI. Because the risk of AEs was associated with daptomycin exposure, daptomycin TDM and model-informed precision dosing may help optimize the efficacy and safety of daptomycin treatment in this setting. A target AUC24h range of 666 to 939 mg/h/L is suggested.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Daptomycin pulmonary eosinophilia (DPE) has been well described in case reports and reporting from the Food and Drug Administration. We report 3 eosinophilic syndromes associated with daptomycin use.
Methods
This is a retrospective review of all patients who received daptomycin (inpatient or outpatient) from 2010 to 2020 at the Veterans Affairs Portland Healthcare System. Patients who developed DPE while receiving daptomycin were evaluated to determine risk factors. Data collected included daptomycin dose and duration, body mass index, creatinine clearance, and peripheral eosinophilia.
Results
Of 330 patients who received daptomycin, 81.5% developed a peripheral eosinophilia, with 109 (33%) developing peripheral eosinophilia ≥5%. Fifty-one (16%) met criteria for DPE. Primary DPE occurred in 38 of the 51 patients with a median 26 days of treatment, and 49% had peripheral eosinophilia ≥5%. Re-exposure DPE occurred in the other 13 patients and occurred a median of 3 days after initiation of daptomycin. The presence of an elevated peripheral eosinophilia of ≥5% during daptomycin usage was significantly associated with primary (odds ratio [OR], 2.23; 95% CI, 1.2–4.09; P = .008) and re-exposure DPE (OR, 12; 95% CI, 1.6–103; P = .003). All patients recovered after withdrawal of daptomycin without complications.
Conclusions
There are 3 daptomycin eosinophilic syndromes: peripheral eosinophilia, primary DPE occurring about 4 weeks into therapy, and re-exposure DPE. Elevated peripheral eosinophilia ≥5% was a risk factor for both primary and re-exposure DPE, but still identified about half the cases. Peripheral eosinophilia should be carefully monitored during daptomycin treatment, and clinicians should be aware that prior eosinophilia may predict an acute pulmonary reaction upon daptomycin re-exposure.

Association between statin use and daptomycin-related musculoskeletal adverse events: A mixed approach combining a meta-analysis and a disproportionality analysis. Clin Infect Dis 2022; 75:1416-1422.

Abstract
Background There is a growing concern about the association between the combined use of daptomycin (DAP) and statins and the occurrence of musculoskeletal adverse events (MAEs), but this remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the association between statin use and DAP-related MAEs. Methods We used a mixed approach that combines 2 methodologies. First, we conducted a meta-analysis to examine the effects of statin use on DAP-related MAEs. Second, we conducted a disproportionality analysis using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) to further confirm the results of the meta-analysis and to examine the effect of each type of statin on DAP-related MAEs in a large population. Results In the meta-analysis, statin use significantly increased the incidence of DAP-related rhabdomyolysis (odds ratio [OR]: 3.83; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.43–10.26) but not DAP-related myopathy (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: .95–3.12). In the disproportionality analysis using the FAERS, the use of statin significantly increased the reporting OR (ROR) for DAP-related myopathy (ROR: 5.69; 95% CI: 4.31–7.51) and rhabdomyolysis (ROR: 5.77; 95% CI: 4.33–7.68). Atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin all increased the incidence of DAP-related myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Conclusion The mixed approach combining a meta-analysis and disproportionality analysis showed that statin use was associated with the occurrence of DAP-related rhabdomyolysis. The appropriate use of statins and DAP should be performed with careful consideration of its safety.

Identification of Risk Factors for Daptomycin-Associated Creatine Phosphokinase Elevation and Development of a Risk Prediction Model for Incidence Probability. Open Forum Infect Dis 2021; 8:ofab568. [PMID: 34888403 PMCID: PMC8651170 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofab568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the risk factors for daptomycin-associated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevation and established a risk score for CPK elevation. METHODS Patients who received daptomycin at our hospital were classified into the non-elevated or elevated CPK group based on their peak CPK levels during daptomycin therapy. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed, and a risk score and prediction model for the incidence probability of CPK elevation were calculated based on logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The non-elevated and elevated CPK groups included 181 and 17 patients, respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that concomitant statin use (odds ratio [OR], 4.45 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.40-14.47]; risk score 4), concomitant antihistamine use (OR, 5.66 [95% CI, 1.58-20.75]; risk score 4), and trough concentration (Cmin) between 20 and <30 µg/mL (OR, 14.48 [95% CI, 2.90-87.13]; risk score 5) and ≥30.0 µg/mL (OR, 24.64 [95% CI, 3.21-204.53]; risk score 5) were risk factors for daptomycin-associated CPK elevation. The predicted incidence probabilities of CPK elevation were <10% (low risk), 10%-<25% (moderate risk), and ≥25% (high risk) with total risk scores of ≤4, 5-6, and ≥8, respectively. The risk prediction model exhibited a good fit (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.85 [95% CI, .74-.95]). CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that concomitant use of statins with antihistamines and Cmin ≥20 µg/mL were risk factors for daptomycin-associated CPK elevation. Our prediction model might aid in reducing the incidence of daptomycin-associated CPK elevation.

Abstract
AIMS Musculoskeletal toxicity is a typical side effect of daptomycin (DAP). However, the risk factors have not been well established. Here, we aimed to identify independent factors affecting DAP-induced musculoskeletal toxicity using a combination of machine learning and conventional statistical methods. METHODS A population-based, retrospective, observational cohort study was conducted using the Japanese electronic medical record database. Patients who received DAP between October 2011 and December 2020 were enrolled. Two definitions of musculoskeletal toxicity were employed: (1) elevation of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) value more than twice from baseline and >200 IU/L, and (2) >1000 IU/L. First, multiple logistic regression analyses (a conventional statistical method) were performed to identify independent factors affecting CPK elevation. Then, decision tree analyses, a machine learning method, were performed to detect combinations of factors that change CPK elevation risk. RESULTS Of the 2970 patients who received DAP, 706 were included. Elevation of CPK values >200 IU/L and >1000 IU/L occurred in 83 (11.8%) and 17 (2.41%) patients, respectively. In multiple logistic regression analysis, baseline CPK value and concomitant use of hydrophobic statins were commonly extracted as independent factors affecting each CPK elevation, but concomitant use of hydrophilic statins was not. In decision tree analysis, patients who received hydrophobic statins and had high baseline CPK values were classified into the high-risk group. CONCLUSION Our novel approach revealed new risk factors for CPK elevation. Our findings suggest that high-risk patients require frequent CPK monitoring.

Abstract
We present the case of a 73-year-old male patient who was hospitalised with infective endocarditis, and report an elevation in his blood creatine phosphokinase (CPK) after receiving daptomycin and rosuvastatin therapy concomitantly. His previous home-scheduled medications included apixaban, ivabradine, metformin, rosuvastatin 20 mg, ginkgo biloba and trimetazidine, and he continued to receive these medications at the hospital. After three sets of blood cultures were taken, empirical treatment was started with vancomycin and gentamicin. On the eighth day of treatment, daptomycin and ampicillin-sulbactam were initiated due to ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis growth in the patient's blood culture. Daptomycin and rosuvastatin were discontinued on the 23rd day of treatment because of blood CPK elevation (2416 U/L) and linezolid was started instead of daptomycin. Six days after discontinuation of daptomycin and rosuvastatin, the CPK concentrations returned to normal range.

Abstract
Objective Daptomycin has been associated with increased creatine phosphokinase (CPK) due to muscle injury leading to myalgias and muscle weakness. Statins have been proven to cause the same effects and it is recommended to discontinue the use of statins while on daptomycin. Evidence regarding this drug interaction is mixed. This study evaluated the risk of CPK elevation in concomitant use of daptomycin and statins compared to daptomycin alone. Method This is a multisite retrospective case-control study of patients who received daptomycin therapy with monitoring of CPK. Rates of CPK elevations were compared in patients receiving daptomycin with a statin versus daptomycin alone. To estimate the association between CPK elevation and daptomycin therapy controlling for other risk factors, logistic regression was used to analyze data. Statistical significance was determined at ɑ of 0.05. Results A total of 3658 patients were included in the study, with 2787 on daptomycin therapy alone and 871 with concurrent statin use. The incidence of CPK elevation was 90 events (3.2%) in the daptomycin group and 26 events (3.0%) in the concurrent statin group. Patients who received daptomycin therapy in addition to statins had no statistically significant difference from patients on daptomycin alone (hazard ratio, 1.05; P = .85; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-1.84). After adjusting for potential risk factors, the hazards ratio remained almost the same. Conclusions Concomitant use of daptomycin and statin did not show an increase risk of CPK elevation. Clinicians may consider concomitant use of daptomycin and statin therapy with weekly CPK monitoring.

Observational retrospective single-centre study in Japan to assess the clinical significance of serum daptomycin levels in creatinine phosphokinase elevation. J Clin Pharm Ther 2019; 45:290-297. [PMID: 31696963 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2019] [Revised: 09/10/2019] [Accepted: 09/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Daptomycin-induced creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) elevation is reported to be associated with its trough level (Ctrough ; breakpoint of 24.3 μg/mL). However, even with high-dose treatment (ie, > 8 mg/kg), the safety of daptomycin treatment is widely demonstrated with low or no significant incidence of CPK elevation or other adverse effects, despite the possibility of Ctrough above 24.3 μg/mL. Therefore, we questioned the clinical significance of Ctrough levels of 24.3 μg/mL. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the significance of Ctrough in the clinical setting, in addition to completing a retrospective safety assessment of daptomycin utilizing electronic health records. METHODS Patients who had received daptomycin treatment for > 4 days from July 2011 to June 2015 were enrolled. Serum daptomycin levels, including Ctrough and peak (Cpeak ), were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with a photodiode array. To evaluate the safety, patients' characteristics and relevant laboratory test values were reviewed retrospectively using an electronic medical record system. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A total of 52 therapeutic cases for 46 patients were identified; of these, Ctrough and Cpeak levels were measured in 27 and 28 cases, respectively, and 6 patients received multiple courses of daptomycin treatment. The median age of the 52 patients was 68 years (range: 19-88 years), and 14 patients initially had an estimated creatinine clearance of less than 30 mL/min. Seven cases indicated a Ctrough of above 24.3 μg/mL; however, none of these presented CPK elevation, which meets with the study definition for abnormality. Furthermore, of the two patients with abnormal CPK elevations, only one patient had a measured Ctrough (of 10.9 μg/mL). Their CPK abnormalities were temporal and did not result in treatment discontinuation. The other four patients discontinued daptomycin treatment due to suspicions of adverse effects. Of the discontinued patients, two had measured Ctrough levels; these were 8.6 and 8.1 μg/mL. All patients with abnormal CPK elevation or treatment discontinuation exhibited Ctrough levels lower than 24.3 μg/mL. In this study, two patients receiving high-dose daptomycin (ie, 9.4 and 10.0 mg/kg) had observed Ctrough levels similar to patients who received doses of daptomycin < 9 mg/kg. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSIONS The safety of daptomycin treatment was suggested in this study. Ctrough level of 24.3 μg/mL was not suggested as a significant clinical index for the incidence of CPK elevation, adverse effects or treatment discontinuation. Thus, acceptable tolerability towards higher Ctrough levels than 24.3 μg/mL was also suggested, though further studies are required. On the other hand, low levels of daptomycin in blood were unexpectedly observed in two cases, despite the high-dose treatments. Accordingly, the monitoring of serum daptomycin levels may also be useful to assess cases in which subtherapeutic levels were achieved.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a major cause of infection in both the hospital and community setting. Obesity is a risk factor for infection, and the prevalence of this disease has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Treatment of infections in this special population is a challenge given the lack of data on the optimal antibiotic choice and dosing strategies, particularly for treatment of MRSA infections. Obesity is associated with various physiological changes that may lead to altered pharmacokinetic parameters. These changes include altered drug biodistribution, elimination, and absorption. This review provides clinicians with a summary of the literature pertaining to the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic considerations when selecting antibiotic therapy for the treatment of MRSA infections in obese patients.

Abstract
Background Daptomycin-associated myopathy has been identified in 2%-14% of patients, and rhabdomyolysis is a known adverse effect. Although risk factors for daptomycin-associated myopathy are poorly defined, creatine phosphokinase (CPK) monitoring and temporary discontinuation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, or "statins," has been recommended. Methods We conducted a single-center, retrospective, matched case-control risk factor analysis in adult and pediatric patients from 2004 to 2015. Patients in whom myopathy (defined as CPK values above the upper limit of normal) developed during daptomycin treatment were matched 1:1 to no-myopathy controls with at least the same duration of therapy. Risk factors independently associated with myopathy were determined using multivariable conditional logistic regression. Secondary analysis was performed in patients with rhabdomyolysis, defined as CPK values ≥10 times the upper limit of normal. Results Of 3042 patients reviewed, 128 (4.2%) were identified as having daptomycin-associated myopathy, 25 (0.8%) of whom had rhabdomyolysis; 121 (95%) of the 128 were adults, and the mean duration of therapy before CPK elevation was 16.7 days (range, 1-58 days). In multivariate analysis, deep abscess treatment (odds ratio, 2.80; P = .03), antihistamine coadministration (3.50; P = .03), and statin coadministration (2.60; P = .03) were independent risk factors for myopathy. Obesity (odds ratio, 3.28; P = .03) and statin coadministration (4.67; P = .03) were found to be independent risk factors for rhabdomyolysis, and older age was associated with reduced risk (0.97; P = .05). Conclusions Statin coadministration with daptomycin was independently associated with myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. This is the first study to provide strong evidence supporting this association. During coadministration, we recommend twice-weekly CPK monitoring and consideration of withholding statins.

Abstract
Daptomycin is commonly used at doses >6 mg/kg/day for various indications, including infective endocarditis (IE). A systematic assessment of skeletal muscle, renal, haematological, hepatic and pulmonary toxicity of high-dose daptomycin (HDD) in IE is lacking. A total of 102 IE patients treated with HDD were included in this non-comparative, observational, single-centre cohort study conducted from 2007 to 2014. The incidence, timing, severity and evolution of adverse events (AEs) were assessed. Patients had a median age of 61.5 years and a high prevalence of co-morbidities. Staphylococci were cultured in 87.2% of cases (62.2% meticillin-resistant). The median daptomycin dose was 8.2 mg/kg/day for a median of 20 days (range, 1-60 days). HDD was withdrawn due to AEs in 12 patients (11.8%). On-treatment death occurred in 4 cases (3.9%, none HDD-related). Muscle toxicity occurred in 15 patients in a median of 15 days after HDD starts, which was largely mild and reversible with ongoing HDD use. Mild renal toxicity was observed in 9 patients (8.8%) after a median of 12 days of HDD (RIFLE-Risk in 8, Injury in 1). A rise of peripheral blood eosinophils occurred in 16 patients (15.7%). There were three cases of eosinophilic interstitial pneumonia. Four patients (3.9%) had mild allergic or idiosyncratic reactions. No other hepatic or haematological AEs were observed. Our current experience with 102 patients suggests that HDD is safe in significantly ill IE patients with multiple co-morbidities. Muscle toxicity was clinically negligible. Most importantly, there was no significant renal toxicity. Eosinophils should be carefully monitored.

Abstract
Infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens remain a major public health burden and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Increasing rates of infection with Gram-positive bacteria and the emergence of resistance to commonly used antibiotics have led to the need for novel antibiotics. Daptomycin, a cyclic lipopeptide with rapid bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, has been shown to be effective and has a good safety profile for the approved indications of complicated skin and soft tissue infections (4 mg/kg/day), right-sided infective endocarditis caused by S. aureus, and bacteremia associated with complicated skin and soft tissue infections or right-sided infective endocarditis (6 mg/kg/day). Based on its pharmacokinetic profile and concentration-dependent bactericidal activity, high-dose (>6 mg/kg/day) daptomycin is considered an important treatment option in the management of various difficult-to-treat Gram-positive infections. Although daptomycin resistance has been documented, it remains uncommon despite the increasing use of daptomycin. To enhance activity and to minimize resistance, daptomycin in combination with other antibiotics has also been explored and found to be beneficial in certain severe infections. The availability of daptomycin via a 2-minute intravenous bolus facilitates its outpatient administration, providing an opportunity to reduce risk of health care-associated infections, improve patient satisfaction, and minimize health care costs. Daptomycin, not currently approved for use in the pediatric population, has been shown to be widely used for treating Gram-positive infections in children.

Abstract
Daptomycin exhibits excellent antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria. The on-label standard daily doses for daptomycin are 4 mg/kg for skin infections and 6 mg/kg for bacteraemia or right-sided endocarditis. Daptomycin bactericidal activity is predominantly concentration-dependent and by considering the values of pharmacokinetic targets established by several authors as well as the peak and trough concentrations of daptomycin obtained at various daily dosages, it appears that these targets can easily be reached with a dose of 6 mg/kg but only for a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at 0.1 mg/L, and that for increasing MICs (e.g. 0.5 mg/L or 1 mg/L) these targets may only be attained with higher dosages (i.e. ≥10 mg/kg). High-dose (HD) daptomycin therapy has also been proven to be effective for reducing the risk of selection of daptomycin-resistant strains. Given the concentration-dependent bactericidal activity of daptomycin, the absence of a dose-toxicity relationship and the need to prevent the selection of resistant strains, we propose to consider for staphylococcal (i) skin and soft-tissue infections, daily doses of daptomycin of 6 mg/kg (new standard dose) and (ii) endocarditis or bacteraemia including those associated with intravascular catheter and implant-related infections, ≥10 mg/kg (HD) when the MIC is unknown or >0.25 mg/L, and 6-10 mg/kg (intermediate doses) when the MIC is ≤0.25 mg/L. For severe and deep-seated enterococcal infections, we propose high (≥10 mg/kg) daily doses of daptomycin in combination with another active agent, especially a β-lactam.

Abstract
Objective: To review the literature on the pharmacotherapy of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Data Sources: A MEDLINE literature search was performed for the period 1946 to May 2014 using the search terms Enterococcus, enterococci, vancomycin-resistant, VRE, bacteremia, and bloodstream infection. References were also identified from selected review articles. Study Selection and Data Extraction: English-language case series, cohort studies, and meta-analyses assessing the options in the pharmacotherapy of VRE BSIs in adult patients were evaluated. Data Synthesis: Studies were identified that utilized linezolid, quinupristin/dalfopristin (Q/D), and daptomycin. In all, 8 comparative retrospective cohort studies, 2 meta-analyses of daptomycin and linezolid, and 3 retrospective comparisons of linezolid and Q/D were included for review. Mortality associated with VRE BSIs was high across studies, and the ability to determine differences in outcomes between agents was confounded by the complex nature of the patients included. Two meta-analyses comparing daptomycin with linezolid for VRE BSIs found modest advantages for linezolid, but these conclusions may be hampered by heterogeneity within the included studies. Conclusions: VRE BSIs remain a difficult-to-treat clinical situation. Differences in toxicity between the agents used to treat it are clear, but therapeutic differences are more difficult to discern. Meta-analyses suggest that a moderate advantage for linezolid over daptomycin may exist, but problems with the nature of studies that they included make definitive conclusions difficult.

Abstract
Daptomycin, a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) are commonly administered in the inpatient setting and are associated with creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevations, myalgias, and muscle weakness. Safety data for coadministration of daptomycin with statins are limited. To determine the safety of coadministration of daptomycin with statin therapy, a multicenter, retrospective, observational study was performed at 13 institutions in the Southeastern United States. Forty-nine adult patients receiving statins concurrently with daptomycin were compared with 171 patients receiving daptomycin without statin therapy. Detailed information, including treatment indication and duration, infecting pathogen, baseline and subsequent CPK levels, and presence of myalgias or muscle complaints, was collected. Myalgias were noted in 3/49 (6.1%) patients receiving combination therapy compared with 5/171 (2.9%) of patients receiving daptomycin alone (P = 0.38). CPK elevations of >1,000 U/liter occurred in 5/49 (10.2%) patients receiving combination therapy compared to 9/171 (5.3%) patients receiving daptomycin alone (P = 0.32). Two of five patients experiencing CPK elevations of >1,000 U/liter in the combination group had symptoms of myopathy. Three patients (6.1%) discontinued therapy due to CPK elevations with concurrent myalgias in the combination group versus 6 patients (3.5%) in the daptomycin-alone group (P = 0.42). CPK levels and myalgias reversed upon discontinuation of daptomycin therapy. Overall musculoskeletal toxicity was numerically higher in the combination group but this result was not statistically significant. Further prospective study is warranted in a larger population.

Abstract
Introduction The prescribing information for daptomycin recommends discontinuing statin therapy during receipt of daptomycin. The literature supporting this recommendation is sparse. The objectives of this study were to examine the impact of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) on creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevations and mortality among patients receiving daptomycin therapy. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed among daptomycin recipients in the Upstate New York Veterans’ Healthcare Administration from September 15, 2003 to July 1, 2013. Inclusion criteria were: (1) daptomycin for ≥48 h, (2) availability of baseline CPK value and (3) >1 CPK level measurement taken while on therapy. The following were extracted from medical records: demographics, comorbidities, laboratory data, medication history (daptomycin, statins and concomitant drugs known to increase CPK), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-II score and vital status at 30 days. The exposure of interest was use of statins. The primary outcome was CPK elevation defined as a CPK value ≥3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) if baseline CPK was normal, and ≥5 times ULN if baseline CPK was elevated. The secondary outcome was death within 30 days of commencing daptomycin. Results A total of 233 patients were included in this analysis. Among these patients, 53 received concomitant statin therapy. Most baseline clinical characteristics were similar between statin recipients and non-recipients. Five (2.1%) patients experienced a CPK elevation; 3/53 (5.7%) were statin recipients and 2/180 (1.1%) received daptomycin alone (p = 0.08). All patients with CPK elevations had normal baseline CPK values. No effect modification was observed by use of other concomitant medications known to increase CPK values. Death was observed more frequently among statin non-recipients (17.2%) than recipients (9.4%). Conclusions Among patients receiving daptomycin, no significant difference was observed in frequency of CPK elevation between statin recipients and non-recipients.

Abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) continues to present a large burden to the health-care system. Staphylococcus aureus, the leading pathogen associated with the disease, has always proven difficult to treat. Increasing numbers of S. aureus isolates are demonstrating reduced susceptibility to vancomycin, and therapeutic options are limited. Daptomycin is frequently employed when vancomycin therapy proves unsuccessful or when vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values rise above 1 mg/L. Currently, daptomycin is FDA-approved at a dose of 6 mg/kg/day for the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia and associated right-sided endocarditis. However, numerous in vitro and clinical studies suggest that daptomycin doses up to 12 mg/kg/day may provide improved efficacy and resistance prevention. Additionally, high-dose daptomycin has demonstrated excellent safety. Together, these data suggest a role for high-dose daptomycin in staphylococcal IE patients who are severely ill, previously failed therapy with vancomycin, or possess a S. aureus isolate with an elevated vancomycin MIC.

Abstract
Infections due to multidrug-resistant pathogens have an increasing impact on patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Preoperative infections, such as endocarditis, and postoperative infections, including wound and device infection, influence patient outcomes. Special interest needs to be taken in patients admitted to cardiac surgical intensive care units, as these patients are at high risk for infections, particularly nosocomial pneumonia, catheter-related and wound infections. The increasing numbers of infections due to Gram-positive multidrug-resistant pathogens underline the necessity for newer antibiotics with bactericidal effects and a more favorable profile of side effects. Daptomycin, a lipopeptide antimicrobial agent with bactericide activity against Gram-positive organisms, has been successfully used in the treatment of complicated infections due to Gram-positive multidrug-resistant pathogens, especially regarding endocarditis, wound infections, device and catheter-related infections in intensive care units. In this review, the authors will summarize therapeutic potential of daptomycin in cardiac surgery and postoperative intensive care.

Abstract
Daptomycin, a cyclic lipopeptide with rapid bactericidal activity, is approved at doses of 4 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg for the treatment of its respective indications [i.e. complicated skin and soft-tissue infections (cSSTIs) caused by Gram-positive bacteria; and Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia associated with right-sided infective endocarditis (RIE) or cSSTIs, or RIE due to S. aureus]. Higher doses and combination therapy strategies have been investigated in some difficult-to-treat infections in order to: enhance clinical success rates; treat pathogens that may be non-susceptible to standard doses; and minimise the risk of resistance development in patients, particularly those who may need an extended treatment duration, who may have had suboptimal surgical management and/or who may have not responded to prior antibiotic therapy. Although clinical trial data of daptomycin doses >6 mg/kg and of daptomycin in combination with other antibiotics are limited, clinical experience reported to date suggests that daptomycin is effective and well tolerated at higher doses and in combination. In this review, the rationale both for high-dose and combination therapy strategies with daptomycin is explored and the available evidence is presented by indication and evaluated from a clinical perspective. Safety and efficacy are discussed from prospective and retrospective clinical studies, together with case reports for a variety of infections, including bacteraemia, endocarditis, cSSTIs and osteomyelitis, and expert recommendations are provided in summary of the evidence. The use of high-dose daptomycin, alone or in combination, may be useful for difficult-to-treat Gram-positive infections and further evaluation of these strategies is warranted.

Abstract
A 67-year-old gentleman developed persistent Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteraemia following transjugular intrahepatic portal shunting. 'Endotipsitis' was diagnosed. Conventional therapy with a vancomycin infusion, amikacin and rifampicin failed after 17 days. He was cured with a 6-week course of high-dose (8 mg/kg) daptomycin monotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Treatment of Gram-positive osteoarticular infections requires an adequate surgical approach combined with intensive antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combined regimen of high-dose daptomycin and rifampicin, in patients with various types of Gram-positive osteoarticular infections. METHODS This single centre, non-comparative, prospective study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a combined regimen of intravenous daptomycin (8 mg/kg/day) and oral rifampicin (600 mg/day) in patients with Gram-positive osteoarticular infections, with a minimal follow-up of one year. Creatine phosphokinase, transaminases, bilirubinaemia, and serum creatinine, were measured at baseline and regular intervals. RESULTS The median daily doses of daptomycin and rifampicin, administered for a median duration of 21 (range, 10-122) days to 16 patients (median age, 63.5 years; 11 males, five females) presenting with staphylococcal (n = 15) or streptococcal (n = 1) osteoarticular infections, were 8.15 (range, 6.6-8.9) mg/kg/day and 600 (range, 600-900) mg/day, respectively. The combined regimen of daptomycin and rifampicin was well tolerated by all except one patient, without requiring treatment adjustment or discontinuation. One patient developed allergic responses probably due to rifampicin after 42 days. Fifteen (94 %) patients showed favourable clinical and microbiological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The combined regimen of high-dose daptomycin and rifampicin was well tolerated and may provide a useful alternative to standard glycopeptide therapy for Gram-positive osteoarticular infections.
