Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the population pharmacokinetics of daptomycin in nonobese elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) using the glomerular filtration rate estimated from cystatin C (eGFRcys) and estimated its optimal dose. METHODS We performed population pharmacokinetic analysis of the unbound concentrations of daptomycin. The probability of target attainment of 90% for achieving an area under the concentration-time curve of unbound daptomycin at steady state/ minimum inhibitory concentration ratio of ≥66.6 was stochastically simulated. RESULTS In the population pharmacokinetic analysis of 25 patients aged ≥65 years, the two-compartment model using eGFRcys and age as covariates of clearance in central compartment of unbound daptomycin were optimal. The unbound fraction rate (fu) was 0.05-0.14. According to the Monte Carlo simulation, the optimal doses for patients with eGFRcys of 20-60 mL/min and aged 65-95 years were calculated as 200-500 mg q24h. CONCLUSION These results suggest that establishing the dose using total concentrations may result in under- or overestimation caused by alterations in fu. The optimal dose for nonobese elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia and CKD depends on eGFRcys and age, and a standard dose may be insufficient for some patients.

Akins RL, Barber KE, Palmer KL. Pronounced heterogeneity observed in high-level daptomycin-resistant viridans group streptococci. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2016; 7:159-166.

Abstract
Viridans group streptococci (VGS) have demonstrated high-level daptomycin resistance (HLDR) upon daptomycin exposure. This study evaluated the extent of heterogeneity and whether dose escalation or combination therapy could prevent resistance development. Five VGS strains (daptomycin MICs 0.25-2mg/L) were evaluated. In vitro models utilised simulated daptomycin dosages of 4, 6, 8 and 12mg/kg with estimated fCmax of 4.1, 6.6, 8.6 and 12.9mg/L, respectively. Time-kill studies included fCmax simulations of daptomycin alone or combined with ceftriaxone, gentamicin, linezolid, rifampicin or vancomycin. Population analyses were performed on daptomycin-containing and non-containing agar plates. Extreme heterogeneity was observed in four strains with daptomycin population MICs 4-512-fold higher than broth microdilution. Whilst Streptococcus gordonii 1649 did not consistently develop HLDR, its population MIC was above the established daptomycin breakpoint. In vitro modelling demonstrated initial kill by daptomycin in all strains within 8h, with substantial re-growth by 24h despite increasing daptomycin. Daptomycin kill curves also displayed resistance development by 24h. However, synergy or additivity was noted for most regimens and strains. Synergy was most notable with daptomycin plus linezolid or rifampicin. Overall, daptomycin plus ceftriaxone or gentamicin were the most potent regimens. Gentamicin or rifampicin with daptomycin were least additive. For combination regimens with colonies isolated at 24h, HLDR was reduced 16-64-fold (MICs 4-16mg/L). Daptomycin monotherapy for VGS led to rapid development of HLDR likely due to extreme heterogeneity. Combination therapy suppressed or minimised the degree of resistance although the mechanism remains unknown.

Abstract
We are in a crisis of bacterial resistance. For economic reasons, most pharmaceutical companies are abandoning antimicrobial discovery efforts, while, in health care itself, infection control and antibiotic stewardship programs have generally failed to prevent the spread of drug-resistant bacteria. At this point, what can be done? The first step has been taken. Governments and international bodies have declared there is a worldwide crisis in antibiotic drug resistance. As discovery efforts begin anew, what more can be done to protect newly developing agents and improve the use of new drugs to suppress resistance emergence? A neglected path has been the use of recent knowledge regarding antibiotic dosing as single agents and in combination to minimize resistance emergence, while also providing sufficient early bacterial kill. In this review, we look at the data for resistance suppression. Approaches include increasing the intensity of therapy to suppress resistant subpopulations; developing concepts of clinical breakpoints to include issues surrounding suppression of resistance; and paying attention to the duration of therapy, which is another important issue for resistance suppression. New understanding of optimizing combination therapy is of interest for difficult-to-treat pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae. These lessons need to be applied to our old drugs to preserve them as well and need to be put into national and international antibiotic resistance strategies. As importantly, from a regulatory perspective, new chemical entities should have a corresponding resistance suppression plan at the time of regulatory review. In this way, we can make the best of our current situation and improve future prospects.

Abstract
The effects of prior vancomycin exposure on ceftaroline and daptomycin therapy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have not been widely studied. Humanized free-drug exposures of vancomycin at 1 g every 12 h (q12h), ceftaroline at 600 mg q12h, and daptomycin at 10 mg/kg of body weight q24h were simulated in a 96-h in vitro pharmacodynamic model against three MRSA isolates, including one heteroresistant vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) isolate and one VISA isolate. A total of five regimens were tested: vancomycin, ceftaroline, and daptomycin alone for the entire 96 h, and then sequential therapy with vancomycin for 48 h followed by ceftaroline or daptomycin for 48 h. Microbiological responses were measured by the changes in log10 CFU during 96 h from baseline. Control isolates grew to 9.16 ± 0.32, 9.13 ± 0.14, and 8.69 ± 0.28 log10 CFU for MRSA, hVISA, and VISA, respectively. Vancomycin initially achieved ≥3 log10 CFU reductions against the MRSA and hVISA isolates, followed by regrowth beginning at 48 h; minimal activity was observed against VISA. The change in 96-h log10 CFU was largest for sequential therapy with vancomycin followed by ceftaroline (-5.22 ± 1.2, P = 0.010 versus ceftaroline) and for sequential therapy with vancomycin followed by ceftaroline (-3.60 ± 0.6, P = 0.037 versus daptomycin), compared with daptomycin (-2.24 ± 1.0), vancomycin (-1.40 ± 1.8), and sequential therapy with vancomycin followed by daptomycin (-1.32 ± 1.0, P > 0.5 for the last three regimens). Prior exposure of vancomycin at 1 g q12h reduced the initial microbiological response of daptomycin, particularly for hVISA and VISA isolates, but did not affect the response of ceftaroline. In the scenario of poor vancomycin response for high-inoculum MRSA infection, a ceftaroline-containing regimen may be preferred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal daptomycin dosing regimen for critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has still to be established. METHODS Daptomycin pharmacokinetics was determined in 9 patients after administration of 6 mg/kg/day over 5 days. RESULTS At steady state, which was reached by day 3, the area under the curve over 24 h (AUC24h) was 667.4 ± 356.6 mg·h/l, and the maximum concentration (Cmax) was 66.9 ±25.3 mg/l. Mean CRRT clearance accounted for 48% (range 32-67%) of total clearance (mean 10.2 ml/min, range 6.1-18 ml/min). Significant correlations were observed between Cmax, minimum concentration (Cmin) and AUC24h (R(2) = 0.91, p < 0.001, and R(2) = 0.94, p < 0.001) and between albumin plasma concentration and free daptomycin (R(2) = 0.7, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION No significant accumulation occurred with a daily daptomycin dose of 6 mg/kg in patients undergoing CRRT with an effluent flow rate of >30 ml/kg/h. The quantification of trough concentrations (Cmin) appears to be a good surrogate to estimate AUC24h and to monitor daptomycin treatment in patients undergoing CRRT.

Abstract
Antibiotic-loaded acrylic bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) is used to prevent or treat infection in total joint replacement surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of the teicoplanin-loaded acrylic bone cement. Cytotoxicity examination of acrylic bone cement balls and 400 mg teicoplanin added acrylic bone cement balls conducted by MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay. SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) was used to observe adhesion and spreading of cells on surface of the balls. Cytotoxicity examination conducted by MTT assay on acrylic bone cement balls and teicoplanin-added acrylic bone cement balls revealed no cytotoxicity. SEM analysis put forward that cells started to proliferate and adhere on surface of the samples in both groups as a result of 48-hour incubation and that the cell proliferation over acrylic bone cement and teicoplanin-added acrylic bone cement was similar. As a consequence, there was no cytotoxicity in acrylic bone cement and teicoplanin-added acrylic bone cement groups according to results of MTT assay. On the other hand, results of SEM showed that biocompatibility of both groups was similar. In conclusion, teicoplanin-loaded bone cement did not change biocompatibility of bone cement in studied dose.

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of nemonoxacin, a novel nonfluorinated quinolone, against Streptococcus pneumoniae in vitro. A modified infection model was used to simulate the pharmacokinetics of nemonoxacin following scaling of single oral doses and multiple oral dosing. Four S. pneumoniae strains with different penicillin sensitivities were selected, and the drug efficacy was quantified by the change in log colony counts within 24 h. A sigmoid maximum-effect (Emax) model was used to analyze the relationship between PK/PD parameters and drug effect. Analysis indicated that the killing pattern of nemonoxacin shows a dualism which is mainly concentration dependent when the MIC is low and that the better PK/PD index should be the area under the concentration-time curve for the free, unbound fraction of the drug divided by the MIC (fAUC0-24/MIC), which means that giving the total daily amount of drug as one dose is appropriate under those conditions. When the MIC is high, the time (T) dependency is important and the valid PK/PD index should be the cumulative percentage of a 24-h period in which the drug concentration exceeds the MIC under steady-state pharmacokinetic conditions (f%T>MIC), which means that to split the maximum daily dose into several separate doses will benefit the eradication of the bacteria. To obtain a 3-log10-unit decrease, the target values of fAUC0-24/MIC and f%T>MIC are 47.05 and 53.4%, respectively.

Abstract
While the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of daptomycin in hemodialysis (HD) patients have been evaluated previously by three groups, resultant dosing recommendations have varied. To address this clinical conundrum, this study combined concentration-time data from these PK evaluations and derived uniform dosing recommendations among patients on HD receiving daptomycin. A two-compartment model with separate HD and non-HD clearance terms was fit to the PK data from these studies by using BigNPAG. Embedded with PK parameters from the population PK analysis, 5,000-subject Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) were performed to identify HD dosing schemes that provided efficacy (cumulative and daily area under the concentration-time curve [AUC] values) and toxicity (trough concentrations of ≥ 24.3 mg/liter) profiles comparable to those from simulations employing the daptomycin PK model derived from the Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia-infective endocarditis (SAB-IE) study. Separate HD dosing schemes were sought for the two weekly interdialytic periods (48 and 72 h). For the 48-h interdialytic period, intra- and post-HD dosing provided the most isometric cumulative and daily AUCs. For the 72-h interdialytic period, all HD dosing schemes provided noncumulative AUC values from 48 to 72 h (AUC(48-72)) that were <50% of the SAB-IE AUC(48-72) values. Increasing the parent dose by 50% intra- or post-HD provided comparable AUC(48-72) values, while maintaining acceptable trough concentration (C(min)) values. When efficacy and toxicity profiles were evaluated for each individual study, higher probabilities for C(min) reaching ≥ 24.3 mg/liter were observed in one of the three studies. Given the high probability of C(min) being ≥ 24.3 mg/liter in one of the three studies, more intensive creatine phosphokinase (CPK) monitoring may be warranted in HD patients receiving daptomycin.

Abstract
Daptomycin MICs for enterococci are typically 1- to 2-fold higher than those for Staphylococcus aureus, and there is an imminent need to establish the optimal dose for appropriate treatment of enterococcal infections. We investigated the bactericidal activity of daptomycin at various dose exposures compared to that of linezolid against vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) in an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model utilizing simulated endocardial vegetations over 96 h. Daptomycin at doses of 6, 8, 10, and 12 mg/kg of body weight/day and linezolid at a dose of 600 mg every 12 h were evaluated against two clinical vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains (EFm11499 and 09-184D1051), one of which was linezolid resistant (09-184D1051), and one clinical vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis strain (EFs11496). Daptomycin MICs were 4, 2, and 0.5 μg/ml for EFm11499, 09-184D1051, and EFs11496, respectively. Bactericidal activity, defined as a ≥ 3 log(10) CFU/g reduction from the initial colony count, was demonstrated against all three isolates with all doses of daptomycin; however, bactericidal activity was not sustained with the daptomycin 6- and 8-mg/kg/day regimens. Linezolid was bacteriostatic against EFm11499 and displayed no appreciable activity against 09-184D1051 or EFs11496. Concentration-dependent killing was displayed with more sustained reduction in colony count (3.58 to 6.46 and 5.89 to 6.56 log(10) CFU/g) at 96 h for the simulated regimen of daptomycin at doses of 10 and 12 mg/kg/day, respectively (P ≤ 0.012). No E. faecium mutants with reduced susceptibility were recovered at any dosage regimen; however, the E. faecalis strain developed reduced daptomycin susceptibility with daptomycin at 6, 8, and 10 but not at 12 mg/kg/day. Daptomycin displayed a dose-dependent response against three VRE isolates, with high-dose daptomycin producing sustained bactericidal activity. Further research is warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of adding either linezolid or daptomycin to Optisol-GS donor storage medium in reducing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) contamination of donor corneas. METHODS Optisol-GS was supplemented with either linezolid at 2×, 4×, or 10× minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) or daptomycin and calcium at 5× or 50× MIC. Unsupplemented control groups were also used. Gentamicin-sensitive and gentamicin-resistant isolates of MRSA were added, and vials were refrigerated for 48 hours followed by sampling for viable colony counts immediately upon removal from refrigeration and after warming to room temperature for 3 hours. Safety studies of Optisol-GS supplemented with 50× MIC daptomycin and calcium were performed by evaluating the central corneal thickness and endothelial cell density of the donor cornea. Stability of daptomycin in Optisol-GS at storage was also tested. RESULTS No added benefit was observed with linezolid supplementation to Optisol-GS against gentamicin-sensitive MRSA, with reduction in viable colony counts by >90% in all groups. No benefit was observed with linezolid supplementation against gentamicin-resistant MRSA, with the majority of inocula remaining viable in all groups. Viable counts of gentamicin-sensitive MRSA and gentamicin-resistant MRSA were effectively reduced with both 5× MIC and 50× MIC daptomycin supplementation. 50× MIC daptomycin-supplemented Optisol-GS had no appreciable effect on the central corneal thickness or endothelial cell density of the donor cornea and was stable at storage for 14 days. CONCLUSIONS The addition of daptomycin to Optisol-GS significantly increases the anti-MRSA activity of the medium without any apparent negative effects on donor corneal tissue.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effects of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements loaded with daptomycin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains. Standardized cement specimens made from 40 g PMMA loaded with 1 g (low-dose), 4 g (middle-dose) or 8 g (high-dose) antibiotics were tested for elution characteristics and antibacterial activities. The patterns of release of antibiotics from the cement specimens were evaluated using in vitro broth elution assay with high-performance liquid chromatography. The activities of broth elution fluid against different Staphylococcus aureus strains (MSSA, MRSA, and VISA) were then determined. The antibacterial activities of all the tested antibiotics were maintained after being mixed with PMMA. The cements loaded with higher dosages of antibiotics showed longer elution periods. Regardless of the antibiotic loading dose, the teicoplanin-loaded cements showed better elution efficacy and provided longer inhibitory periods against MSSA, MRSA, and VISA than cements loaded with the same dose of vancomycin or daptomycin. Regarding the choice of antibiotics for cement loading in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection, teicoplanin was superior in terms of antibacterial effects.

Abstract
Bacterial killing and the development of reduced vancomycin susceptibility during continuous-infusion vancomycin (CIV) therapy were dependent on the area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h divided by the MIC (ƒAUC(24)/MIC), with values of ≥ 240 (equivalent total serum AUC(24)/MICs of ≥ 480) being bactericidal and suppressing emerging resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Also, vancomycin therapy was less likely to be bactericidal and 4.4 times more likely to lead to reduced vancomycin susceptibility in health care-associated MRSA than in community-associated MRSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study sought to (1) characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of intravenous (i.v.) daptomycin among patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD); (2) identify optimal i.v. CAPD dosing schemes; and (3) determine extent of daptomycin penetration into the peritoneal space after i.v. administration. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A PK study was conducted among eight CAPD patients. Population PK modeling and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) were used to identify CAPD dosing schemes providing efficacy and toxicity plasma profiles comparable with those obtained from MCS using the daptomycin population PK model derived from patients in the Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia-infective endocarditis (SAB-IE) study. The primary efficacy exposure target was the area under the curve (AUC). For toxicity, the goal was to identify CAPD dosing schemes that minimized plasma trough concentrations in excess of 24.3 mg/L. Finally, peritoneal cavity penetration was determined. RESULTS Administration of i.v. daptomycin 4 or 6 mg/kg, depending on indication, every 48 h was identified as the optimal CAPD dosing scheme. This regimen provided cumulative (AUC(0-48)) and daily partitioned (AUC(0-24 h) and AUC(24-48 h)) plasma AUC values similar to the SAB-IE or "typical patient" simulations. In addition, the proportion of patients likely to experience an elevated trough concentration in excess of 24.3 mg/L was similar between every 48 h CAPD dosing and the referent group. Penetration into the peritoneal cavity was 6% of plasma. CONCLUSIONS Daptomycin 4 or 6 mg/kg, on the basis of indication, i.v. every 48 h was found to be the optimal i.v. CAPD dosing scheme.

Abstract
This study identified optimal daptomycin dosing for patients receiving thrice-weekly hemodialysis (HD). Twelve adult patients on HD received daptomycin at 6 mg/kg of body weight intravenously (i.v.) one time; plasma and dialysate samples were collected over 3 days. A 2-compartment model with separate HD and non-HD clearance terms was fit to the data. A series of 9,999-subject Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) was performed to identify HD dosing schemes providing efficacy and toxicity profiles comparable to those obtained for MCS employing the daptomycin population pharmacokinetic (PK) model derived from patients in the Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia-infective endocarditis (SAB-IE) study. For efficacy, we selected the HD dosing scheme which generated an area-under-the-curve (AUC) exposure profile comparable to that for the SAB-IE population model. For toxicity, we selected HD dosing schemes that minimized trough concentrations of ≥ 24.3 mg/liter. Separate HD dosing schemes were developed for each FDA-approved regimen and for two weekly interdialytic periods (48 and 72 h). Administration of the same parent daptomycin dose intra-HD and post-HD resulted in AUC, maximum concentration of drug in serum (C(max)), and C(min) values most comparable to those for SAB-IE simulations for the 48-hour interdialytic period. In contrast, all candidate HD dosing schemes provided AUC(48-72) values that were at least 50% lower than the SAB-IE AUC(48-72) values. Increasing the parent dose by 50% provided more comparable AUC(48-72) values while maintaining acceptable C(min) values. Administration of the daptomycin parent dose intra-HD or post-HD was optimal for the 48-h interdialytic period. For the 72-h interdialytic period, clinicians should consider increasing the dose by 50% to achieve more comparable AUC(48-72) values.

Abstract
The antibacterial effects of telavancin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin against six Staphylococcus aureus strains (1 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus [MSSA] strain, 4 methicillin-resistant S. aureus [MRSA] strains, and 1 vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus [VISA] strain) and three Enterococcus sp. strains (1 Enterococcus faecalis strain, 1 Enterococcus faecium strain, and 1 vancomycin-resistant E. faecium [VREF] strain) were compared using an in vitro pharmacokinetic model of infection. Analyzing the data from all five vancomycin-susceptible S. aureus (VSSA) strains or all 4 MRSA strains showed that telavancin was superior in its antibacterial effect as measured by the area under the bacterial kill curve at 24 h (AUBKC(24)) and 48 h (AUBKC(48)) in comparison to vancomycin or teicoplanin (P < 0.05). Telavancin was also superior to vancomycin and teicoplanin in terms of its greater early killing effect (P < 0.05). Against the three Enterococcus spp. tested, telavancin was superior to vancomycin in terms of its AUBKC(24), AUBKC(48), and greater early bactericidal effect (P < 0.05). Dose-ranging studies were performed to provide free-drug area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h in the steady state divided by the MIC (fAUC/MIC) exposures from 0 to 1,617 (7 to 14 exposures per strain) for 5 VSSA, 4 VISA, and the 3 Enterococcus strains. The fAUC/MIC values for a 24-h bacteriostatic effect and a 1-log-unit drop in the viable count were 43.1 ± 38.4 and 50.0 ± 39.0 for VSSA, 3.2 ± 1.3 and 4.3 ± 1.3 for VISA, and 15.1 ± 8.8 and 40.1 ± 29.4 for the Enterococcus spp., respectively. The reason for the paradoxically low fAUC/MIC values for VISA strains is unknown. There was emergence of resistance to telavancin in the dose-ranging studies, as indicated by subpopulations able to grow on plates containing 2× MIC telavancin concentrations compared to the preexposure population analysis profiles. Changes in population analysis profiles were less likely with enterococci than with S. aureus, and the greatest risk of changed profiles occurred for both species at fAUC/MIC ratios of 1 to 10. Maintaining a fAUC/MIC ratio of >50 reduced the risk of subpopulations able to grow on antibiotic-containing media emerging. These data help explain the clinical effectiveness of telavancin against MRSA and indicate that telavancin may have clinically useful activity against Enterococcus spp., and perhaps also VISA, at human doses of 10 mg/kg of body weight/day. In addition, they support a clinical breakpoint of sensitive at ≤1 mg/liter for both S. aureus and Enterococcus spp.
