Abstract
Bacterial resilience within biofilms, rendering them up to 1000 times more resistant to antibiotic drugs, poses a formidable challenge. This study introduces a targeted biofilm eradication strategy, termed "target-penetration-killing-eradication", implemented through magnetic micro-robotic technology. Specifically, we present the development of a magnetic-guided nano-antibacterial platform designed for alternating magnetic field (AMF) controlled vancomycin release in the eradication of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. To address the issue of premature vancomycin release in physiological conditions, we employed a temperature-sensitive linking agent, 4,4'-azobis(4-cyano valeric acid), facilitating the conjugation of vancomycin onto Fe3O4/CS nanocomposites, resulting in the novel construct Fe3O4@CS-ACVA-VH. The release mechanism adheres to first-order kinetics and Fickian diffusion, with each 10-min AMF treatment releasing approximately 8.4 ± 1.1% of vancomycin. The potency of vancomycin in the release solution was similar to that of the original drug (MIC: 7.4 ± 3.5 vs. 5.6 μg/mL). Fe3O4@CS-ACVA-VH exhibited sustained antibacterial efficacy, inhibiting bacterial growth for four consecutive days and preventing the formation of bacterial biofilms on its surface. Contact-inhibition bacterial activity of Fe3O4@CS-ACVA-VH against S. aureus was 0.046875 mg/mL. Conceptually validating our approach, we emphasize Fe3O4@CS-ACVA-VH's exceptional ability to penetrate S. aureus biofilms under static magnetic field attraction. Furthermore, the nano-platform offers the unique advantage of on-demand vancomycin release through alternating magnetic field stimulation, effectively clearing a larger biofilm area. This multifunctional nano-platform demonstrates magnetic-guided biofilm penetration followed by controlled vancomycin release, presenting a promising strategy for enhanced biofilm eradication.

Phage-antibiotic synergy against daptomycin-nonsusceptible MRSA in an ex vivo simulated endocardial pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2024; 68:e0138823. [PMID: 38376187 PMCID: PMC10989002 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01388-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Phage-antibiotic combinations (PAC) offer a potential solution for treating refractory daptomycin-nonsusceptible (DNS) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. We examined PAC activity against two well-characterized DNS MRSA strains (C4 and C37) in vitro and ex vivo. PACs comprising daptomycin (DAP) ± ceftaroline (CPT) and a two-phage cocktail (Intesti13 + Sb-1) were evaluated for phage-antibiotic synergy (PAS) against high MRSA inoculum (109 CFU/mL) using (i) modified checkerboards (CB), (ii) 24-h time-kill assays (TKA), and (iii) 168-h ex vivo simulated endocardial vegetation (SEV) models. PAS was defined as a fractional inhibitory concentration ≤0.5 in CB minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) or a ≥2 log10 CFU/mL reduction compared to the next best regimen in time-kill assays and SEV models. Significant differences between regimens were assessed by analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc modification (α = 0.05). CB assays revealed PAS with Intesti13 + Sb-1 + DAP ± CPT. In 24-h time-kill assays against C4, Intesti13 + Sb-1 + DAP ± CPT demonstrated synergistic activity (-Δ7.21 and -Δ7.39 log10 CFU/mL, respectively) (P < 0.05 each). Against C37, Intesti13 + Sb-1 + CPT ± DAP was equally effective (-Δ7.14 log10 CFU/mL each) and not significantly different from DAP + Intesti13 + Sb-1 (-Δ6.65 log10 CFU/mL). In 168-h SEV models against C4 and C37, DAP ± CPT + the phage cocktail exerted synergistic activities, significantly reducing bio-burdens to the detection limit [2 log10 CFU/g (-Δ7.07 and -Δ7.11 log10 CFU/g, respectively)] (P < 0.001). At 168 h, both models maintained stable MICs, and no treatment-emergent phage resistance occurred with DAP or DAP + CPT regimens. The two-phage cocktail demonstrated synergistic activity against two DNS MRSA isolates in combination with DAP + CPT in vitro and ex vivo. Further in vivo PAC investigations are needed.

Comparative effectiveness of daptomycin versus vancomycin among patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0293423. [PMID: 38381737 PMCID: PMC10881006 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0293423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections (BSIs), vancomycin stands as the prevalent therapeutic agent. Daptomycin remains an alternative antibiotic to treat MRSA BSIs in cases where vancomycin proves ineffective. However, studies have conflicted on whether daptomycin is more effective than vancomycin among patients with MRSA BSI. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of daptomycin and vancomycin for the prevention of mortality among adult patients with MRSA BSI. METHODS Systematic searches of databases were performed, including Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) and Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) were used to assess the quality of individual observational and randomized control studies, respectively. Pooled odd ratios were calculated using random effects models. RESULTS Twenty studies were included based on a priori set inclusion and exclusion criteria. Daptomycin treatment was associated with non-significant lower mortality odds, compared to vancomycin treatment (OR = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.62, 1.06). Sub-analyses based on the time patients were switched from another anti-MRSA treatment to daptomycin demonstrated that switching to daptomycin within 3 or 5 days was significantly associated with 55% and 45% decreased odds of all-cause mortality, respectively. However, switching to daptomycin any time after five days of treatment was not significantly associated with lower odds of mortality. Stratified analysis based on vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) revealed that daptomycin treatment among patients infected with MRSA strains with MIC≥1 mg/L was significantly associated with 40% lower odds of mortality compared to vancomycin treatment. CONCLUSION Compared with vancomycin, an early switch from vancomycin to daptomycin was significantly associated with lower odds of mortality. In contrast, switching to daptomycin at any time only showed a trend towards reduced mortality, with a non-significant association. Therefore, the efficacy of early daptomycin use over vancomycin against mortality among MRSA BSIs patients may add evidence to the existing literature in support of switching to daptomycin early over remaining on vancomycin. More randomized and prospective studies are needed to assess this association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Empyema necessitans (EN) is a rare condition characterized by pleural infection with pus spreading into adjacent soft tissues. Although Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Actinomyces israelii are common causative agents, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is relatively rare, but it is associated with high mortality in empyema cases. We aimed to report a unique case of EN caused by MRSA and present a literature review to better understand this rare condition. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year-old man with a history of right ureteral stone presented with fever and left anterior thoracic pain. A physical examination revealed redness and swelling in the left thoracic region. Imaging studies confirmed EN with fluid accumulation around the sternocostal joint of the left first rib. MRSA was identified from blood and pleural fluid cultures. The patient received antimicrobial therapy, and a chest tube was inserted for drainage. Despite initial improvement, vertebral osteomyelitis was diagnosed on day 17. The antimicrobials were subsequently terminated after 6 weeks, but vertebral osteomyelitis recurred, and treatment was resumed and completed on day 215. CONCLUSION EN caused by MRSA is rare, and the literature review revealed 14 cases from human sources. Positive blood cultures were observed in 40% of cases, and metastatic infections were present in 30% of cases. Osteomyelitis was the most common type of metastatic lesion. All the patients underwent drainage. Patients with MRSA-associated EN frequently develop disseminated lesions and should therefore be carefully examined. Moreover, appropriate treatment with antibiotics and drainage is necessary for a good prognosis. Although the prognosis appeared to be favorable in our review, publication bias and treatment challenges for metastatic infections should be considered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection (BSI) is a major issue in healthcare, since it is often associated with endocarditis or deep site foci. Relevant morbidity and mortality associated with MRSA-BSIs forced the development of new antibiotic strategies; in particular, this review will focus the attention on fifth-generation cephalosporins (ceftaroline/ceftobiprole), that are the only ß-lactams active against MRSA. AREAS COVERED The review discusses the available randomized controlled trials and real-world observational studies conducted on safety and effectiveness of ceftaroline/ceftobiprole for the treatment of MRSA-BSIs. Finally, a proposal of MRSA-BSI treatment flowchart, based on fifth-generation cephalosporins, is described. EXPERT OPINION The use of anti-MRSA cephalosporins is an acceptable choice either in monotherapy or combination therapy for the treatment of MRSA-BSIs due to their relevant effectiveness and safety. Particularly, their use may be advisable in combination therapy in case of severe infections (including endocarditis or persistent bacteriemia) or in monotherapy in subjects at higher risk of drugs-induced toxicity with older regimens. On the contrary, caution should be taken in case of suspected/ascertained central nervous system infections due to inconsistent data regarding penetration of these drugs in cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissues.

Abstract
In patients with infectious symptoms and severe muscle pain, it is crucial to consider pyomyositis as a significant potential cause. A normal complete blood count should not exclude this possibility early in the course. Early advanced imaging modalities and blood cultures are crucial in narrowing the differential. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is increasingly implicated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of vancomycin with the other anti-Gram-positive bacteria antibiotics in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. METHODS We searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library databases until August 2022 for studies that compared vancomycin with other antibiotic regimens for treating Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. Clinical and microbiological responses, adverse events, relapse rate and mortality were considered. RESULTS Fifteen randomized controlled trials and nine retrospective studies were included. The efficacy and safety data of vancomycin differed from those of the comparators group. After subgroup analysis, the differences came mainly from the trials compared with daptomycin. Compared to daptomycin, vancomycin showed a lower microbiological cure rate (OR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.41∼0.82, I2 = 0%, P = 0.002) and clinical cure rate (OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.42∼0.68, I2 = 3%, P < 0.00001), as well as more adverse events (OR = 3.21, 95% CI = 1.43∼7.19, I2 = 59%, P = 0.005). CONCLUSION The efficacy of vancomycin in treating Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia is still excellent but slightly inferior in adverse events. However, this does not affect its use as a first-line drug. Daptomycin is expected to be a better antimicrobial drug.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains an important pathogen in the hospital setting and causes significant morbidity and mortality each year. Since the initial discovery over 60 years ago, vancomycin has remained a first-line treatment for many different types of MRSA infections. However, significant concerns related to target attainment and nephrotoxicity have spurred efforts to develop more effective agents in the last two decades. AREAS COVERED Newer anti-MRSA antibiotics that have been approved since 2000 include linezolid, daptomycin, and ceftaroline. As clinical evidence has accumulated, these newer agents have become more frequently used, and some are now recommended as co-first-line options (along with vancomycin) in clinical practice guidelines. For this review, a scoping review of the literature was conducted to support our findings and recommendations. EXPERT OPINION Vancomycin remains an important standard of care for MRSA infections but is limited with respect to nephrotoxicity and rapid target attainment. Newer agents such as linezolid, daptomycin, and ceftaroline have specific indications for treating different types of MRSA infections; however, newer agents also have unique attributes which require consideration during therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate factors associated with daptomycin consumption in French healthcare facilities (HCF) between 2019 and 2020. METHODS Antibiotic consumption expressed as number of defined daily doses (DDD) per 1,000 patient-days (PD) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) expressed as incidence densities per 1,000PD were extracted each year from the nationwide surveillance network run by the SPARES project (Surveillance and Prevention of Antimicrobial RESistance in hospitals), collecting data at ward level among voluntary HCFs using standardized methodology and webtool. All HCF participating both in 2019 and 2020 were included. A multivariable linear regression was fitted. RESULTS Among 622 HCFs, we analyzed daptomycin consumption and AMR data in 1,637 clinical wards. Incidence densities of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) were the highest in intensive care unit wards (0.54 and 6.83 respectively in 2020). On the most adjusted model, the year 2020 was correlated with a higher daptomycin consumption (1.53; p = 0.01). A greater number of inpatient beds (0.01; p < 0.001), the presence of orthopedic surgery activity in the HCF (1.66; p < 0.02), MRSA (4.38; p < 0.001) and MRCNS (0.61; p < 0.001) incidence densities were associated with a higher daptomycin use. The final model explained 18% of the observed variance. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that daptomycin consumption was correlated to MRSA and MRCNS incidence densities, to the year 2020 and to non-modifiable HCF-related factors. Prevention of coagulase-negative staphylococci infections should be considered by antimicrobial stewardship teams when daptomycin use is going up in HCF.

We measured antibiotic penetration and bioavailability in staphylococcus biofilms using simulated humanized concentrations of fluorescent vancomycin plus or minus rifampin. Vancomycin percent recovery across biofilm layers was:upper = 46%, middle = 40%, and lower = 33%. Vancomycin plus rifampin was not significantly different (P = 0.65). Addition of rifampin did not improve vancomycin penetration across biofilm layers.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Daptomycin is used to treat Gram-positive infections in adults and children and its dosing varies among different age groups. We focused on the pharmacokinetics of daptomycin in children with renal impairment, which has not been evaluated.Methods: A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of daptomycin was established and validated to simulate its disposition in healthy populations and adults with renal impairment, along with a daptomycin exposure simulated in pediatric patients with renal impairment.Results: The simulated PBPK modeling results for various regimens of intravenously administered daptomycin were consistent with observed data according to the fold error below the threshold of 2. The Cmax and AUC of daptomycin did not differ significantly between children with mild-to-moderate renal impairment and healthy children. The AUC increased by an average of 1.55-fold and 1.85-fold in severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease, respectively. The changes were more significant in younger children and could reach a more than 2-fold change. This scenario necessitates further daptomycin dose adjustments.Conclusion: Dose adjustments take into account the efficacy and safety of the drug; however, the steady-state Cmin of daptomycin may be above 24.3 mg/L in a few instances. We recommend monitoring creatine phosphokinase more than once a week when using daptomycin in children with renal impairment.

Abstract
The specific management of infective endocarditis (IE) in elderly patients is not specifically addressed in recent guidelines despite its increasing incidence and high mortality in this population. The term "elderly" corresponds to different ages in the literature, but it is defined by considerable comorbidity and heterogeneity. Cancer incidence, specifically colorectal cancer, is increased in older patients with IE and impacts its outcome. Diagnosis of IE in elderly patients is challenging due to the atypical presentation of the disease and the lower performance of imaging studies. Enterococcal etiology is more frequent than in younger patients. Antibiotic treatment should prioritize diminishing adverse effects and drug interactions while maintaining the best efficacy, as surgical treatment is less commonly performed in this population due to the high surgical risk. The global assessment of elderly patients with IE, with particular attention to frailty and geriatric profiles, should be performed by multidisciplinary teams to improve disease management in this population.

Rose W, Volk C, Dilworth TJ, Sakoulas G. Approaching 65 Years: Is it Time to Consider Retirement of Vancomycin for Treating Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Endovascular Infections? Open Forum Infect Dis 2022; 9:ofac137. [PMID: 35493116 PMCID: PMC9043000 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofac137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Vancomycin was introduced nearly 65 years ago and remains the standard antibiotic for serious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Staphylococcus aureus remains highly susceptibility to vancomycin (>97%). Despite this, MRSA treatment failure with vancomycin is high in complicated bacteremia. Additionally, vancomycin can cause nephrotoxicity, leading to new therapeutic drug monitoring guidance. This demonstrates how difficult it is to dose vancomycin in a way that is both efficacious and safe, especially during long courses of therapy. Often underappreciated are the cost, resources, and complexity of vancomycin care at a time when alternative antibiotics are becoming cost comparable. This perspective highlights a bigger picture of how the treatment repertoires of many other diseases have changed and advanced since vancomycin’s introduction in the 1950s, yet the vancomycin MRSA treatment standard remains. While vancomycin can still have a role, 65 years may be a practical retirement age for vancomycin in highly complex endovascular infections.

Efficacy and Safety of Daptomycin versus Vancomycin for Bacteremia Caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus with Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration > 1 µg/mL: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14040714. [PMID: 35456548 PMCID: PMC9032134 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14040714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the efficacy of daptomycin and vancomycin in adult patients with bacteremia by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) > 1 µg/mL. We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases on 12 May 2020. All-cause mortality (primary outcome) and treatment success rates were compared and subgroups stratified by infection source risk level and method of vancomycin susceptibility testing were also analyzed. Seven studies (n = 907 patients) were included in this efficacy analysis. Compared with vancomycin, daptomycin treatment was associated with significantly lower mortality (six studies, odds ratio (OR) 0.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.29−0.98) and higher treatment success (six studies, OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.63−2.96), which was consistent regardless of the vancomycin MIC test method used. For intermediate-risk sources, daptomycin was a factor increasing treatment success compared with vancomycin (OR 4.40, 95% CI 2.06−9.40), and it exhibited a trend toward a higher treatment success rate for high-risk sources. In conclusion, daptomycin should be considered for the treatment of bacteremia caused by MRSA with vancomycin MIC > 1 µg/mL, especially in patients with intermediate- and high-risk bacteremia sources.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Variability in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) with automated susceptibility testing instruments may influence methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in vancomycin MIC values and the impact on vancomycin alternative therapy for MRSA bacteremia using the MicroScan and VITEK 2 automated systems. METHODS This was a retrospective multicenter cohort study of adult patients with MRSA bacteremia. Patients were stratified by susceptibility testing with MicroScan (May 2013-December 2016) or VITEK 2 (June 2017-February 2020). The primary outcome was vancomycin alternative therapy use. Secondary endpoints included MRSA MIC, 30-day mortality, 30- and 90-day readmission, and hospital length of stay (LOS). RESULTS A total of 193 patients were included for analysis: 89 in the MicroScan group and 104 in the VITEK 2 group. Vancomycin alternative therapy use was higher in the MicroScan group than the VITEK 2 group (56.2% vs 20.2%; p <0.001). Median MIC value was 2 mg/L and 1 mg/L for MicroScan and VITEK 2, respectively (p <0.001). Median hospital LOS was shorter in the VITEK 2 period (16 vs 12 days; p = 0.02). Thirty-day mortality (10.1% vs 7.7%; p = 0.555) and 90-day readmission (34.8% vs 29.8%; p = 0.457) did not significantly differ between MicroScan and VITEK 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS VITEK 2 use was associated with lower reported vancomycin MICs and less use of vancomycin alternative therapy.

Genotyping of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates causing invasive infections using spa typing and their correlation with antibiotic susceptibility. Int J Antimicrob Agents 2022; 59:106525.

Abstract
The antibiotic susceptibility patterns were correlated with particular spa types, and this correlation would help physicians select appropriate antibiotics for treatment of invasive MRSA infections. The aim of this research was to investigate invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through delineatingthe molecular typing results and correlating them with antibiotic susceptibility. Totally 670 non-duplicate mecA+MRSA isolates from patients with invasive infections were collected from a 5-year nationwide antimicrobial surveillance program (TIST), and 58 spa types were identified among 639 (95.4%) isolates by determining the allelic profile of the spa gene with PCR and nucleotide sequencing. Six major types, including spa t002 (103, 15.3%) and t037 (253, 37.8%), were classified as healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA, 53.1%); while t437 (151, 22.5%), t441 (13, 1.9%), t1081 (19, 2.8%), and t3525 (14, 2.1%) were classified as community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA, 29.4%). Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed with agar or microbroth dilutions for various antibiotics and the Etest was used for both daptomycin and vancomycin. The declining trend in the vancomycin MIC was in parallel with an increasing frequency of CA-MRSA. The antibiotic susceptibility patterns were correlated with particular spa types, and this correlation would help physicians select appropriate antibiotics for treatment of invasive MRSA infections.

Abstract
PURPOSE International and Indian guidelines for the management of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are available, but the local guidelines are not MRSA-specific. This study aimed to provide clinical insights for the treatment of MRSA infections in India. METHODS We used a three-step modified Delphi method to obtain insights. Ten experts comprising infectious disease specialists, microbiologists, pulmonologists, and critical care experts agreed to participate in the analysis. In round 1, a total of 161 statements were circulated to the panel and the experts were asked to 'agree' or 'disagree' by responding 'yes' or 'no' to each statement and provide comments. The same process was used for 73 statements in round 2. Direct interaction with the experts was carried out in round 3 wherein 35 statements were discussed. At least 80% of the experts had to agree for a statement to reach concordance. RESULTS Eighty-eight statements in round 1, thirty-eight statements in round 2, and eight statements in round 3 reached concordance and were accepted without modification. The final document comprised 152 statements on the management of various syndromes associated with MRSA such as skin and soft tissue infections, bacteremia and endocarditis, pneumonia, bone and joint infections, and central nervous system infections. CONCLUSIONS This analysis will assist clinicians in India to choose an appropriate course of action for MRSA infections.

MPC-Based Prediction of Anti-Mutant Effectiveness of Antibiotic Combinations: In Vitro Model Study with Daptomycin and Gentamicin against Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
To explore whether combined treatments with daptomycin and gentamicin can prevent the development of Staphylococcus aureus resistance, and whether the possible restriction is associated with changes in antibiotic mutant prevention concentrations (MPCs), the enrichment of daptomycin- and gentamicin-resistant mutants was studied by simulating 5-day single and combined treatments in an in vitro dynamic model. The MPCs of the antibiotics in the combination were determined at concentration ratios equal to the ratios of 24 h areas, under the concentration–time curve (AUCs) of the antibiotics, as simulated in pharmacodynamic experiments. The MPCs of both daptomycin and gentamicin decreased in the presence of each other; this led to an increase in the time when antibiotic concentrations were above the MPC (T>MPC). The increases in T>MPCs were concurrent with increases of the anti-mutant effects of the combined antibiotics. When anti-mutant effects of the antibiotics in single and combined treatments were plotted against the T>MPCs, significant sigmoid relationships were obtained. These findings suggest that (1) daptomycin–gentamicin combinations prevent the development of S. aureus resistance to each antibiotic; (2) the anti-mutant effects of antibiotic combinations can be predicted using MPCs determined at pharmacokinetic-based antibiotic concentration ratios; (3) T>MPC is a reliable predictor of the anti-mutant efficacy of antibiotic combinations.

Exploratory Cost-Effectiveness Analysis for Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infections: Is Linezolid or Daptomycin Favored Over Vancomycin? Clin Drug Investig 2021; 41:885-894.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (MRSAB) cause significant mortality, and often require extended antibiotic therapy. Vancomycin, the most common initial MRSAB treatment, carries significant monitoring burden and nephrotoxicity risks. Our objective was to compare the cost-effectiveness of vancomycin and other antibiotic regimens against MRSAB. METHODS We estimated the cost-effectiveness of intravenous antibiotics (vancomycin, daptomycin, linezolid, ceftaroline/daptomycin) for Veterans Health Administration patients with MRSAB using an exploratory decision-tree model. Primary effectiveness outcome was composite of microbiological failure at 7 days and adverse drug event (ADE)-related discontinuation after at least 7 days. RESULTS In base-case analyses, intravenous linezolid was the least expensive regimen at 4 and 6 weeks. Daptomycin was more expensive and more effective than linezolid, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of ~$13,000 (4 weeks) per composite failure avoided. With 6 weeks of treatment, daptomycin was more expensive and more effective than vancomycin (ICER ~$21,000 per composite failure avoided). Vancomycin and ceftaroline/daptomycin were dominated strategies at both 4 and 6 weeks. In one-way sensitivity analyses, vancomycin was favored when its microbiological failure risk was less than 20.1% (base-case: 27.2%), assuming a willingness to pay (WTP) threshold of $40,000/composite treatment failure avoided. In two-way sensitivity analyses, intravenous linezolid was favored if linezolid microbiological failure and ADE-related discontinuation rates were < 22.5% and < 17.3%, respectively. Daptomycin, vancomycin, and linezolid were favored in 50%, 31%, and 17% of 4-week probabilistic iterations, respectively, at $40,000 WTP. CONCLUSION Daptomycin is likely less expensive and more effective than vancomycin or other initial regimens for MRSAB. More data are needed on the safety of linezolid against MRSAB.

Daptomycin versus Vancomycin for the Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infection with or without Endocarditis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 10:antibiotics10081014. [PMID: 34439067 PMCID: PMC8389004 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics10081014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of invasive infections, mainly bloodstream infections (BSI) with or without endocarditis. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare vancomycin, the mainstay treatment, with daptomycin as therapeutic options in this context. Materials: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Database were searched from their inception to 15 February 2020. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included clinical failure, infection recurrence, persistence of infection, length-of-stay, antibiotic discontinuation due to adverse events (AEs) and 30-day re-admission. This study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42020169413. Results: Eight studies (1226 patients, 554 vs. 672 in daptomycin vs. vancomycin, respectively) were included. No significant difference in terms of overall mortality was observed [odds ratio (OR) 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.40–1.33, I2 = 67%]. Daptomycin was associated with a significantly reduced risk of clinical failure (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.38–0.89, I2 = 60%), as confirmed by pooling adjusted effect sizes (adjusted OR against the use of vancomycin 1.94, 95%CI 1.33–1.82, I2 = 41%), and was linked with fewer treatment-limiting AEs (OR 0.15, 95%CI 0.06–0.36, I2 = 19%). No difference emerged between the two treatments as secondary outcomes. Results were not robust to unmeasured confounding (E-value lower than 95% CI 1.00 for all-cause mortality). Conclusions: Against MRSA BSI, with or without endocarditis, daptomycin seems to be associated with a lower risk of clinical failure and treatment-limiting AEs compared with vancomycin. Further studies are needed to better characterize the differences between the two drugs.

Abstract
Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection (BSI) management remains challenging for clinicians. Numerous in vitro studies report synergy when vancomycin (VAN) and daptomycin (DAP) are combined with beta-lactams (BLs), which has led to clinical implementation of these combinations. While shorter durations of bacteremia have often been reported, there has been no significant impact on mortality. Methods The Detroit Medical Center (DMC) developed and implemented a clinical pathway algorithm for MRSA BSI treatment in 2016 that included the early use of BL combination therapy with standard of care (VAN or DAP) and a mandatory Infectious Diseases consultation. This was a retrospective, quasi-experimental study at the DMC between 2013 and 2020. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the independent association between pathway implementation and 30-day mortality while adjusting for confounding variables. Results Overall, 813 adult patients treated for MRSA BSI were evaluated. Compared with prepathway (PRE) patients (n = 379), those treated postpathway (POST; n = 434) had a significant reduction in 30-day and 90-day mortality: 9.7% in POST vs 15.6% in PRE (P = .011) and 12.2% in POST vs 19.0% in PRE (P = .007), respectively. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was higher in the PRE compared with the POST group: 9.6% vs 7.2% (P = .282), respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables including Infectious Diseases consult, POST was independently associated with a reduction in 30-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.608; 95% CI, 0.375–0.986). Conclusions Implementation of an MRSA BSI treatment pathway with early use of BL reduced mortality with no increased rate of AKI. Further prospective evaluation of this pathway approach is warranted.

Cell Membrane Adaptations Mediate β-Lactam-Induced Resensitization of Daptomycin-Resistant (DAP-R) Staphylococcus aureus In Vitro. Microorganisms 2021; 9:1028. [PMID: 34064631 PMCID: PMC8150363 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9051028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The reversal of daptomycin resistance in MRSA to a daptomycin-susceptible phenotype following prolonged passage in selected β-lactams occurs coincident with the accumulation of multiple point mutations in the mprF gene. MprF regulates surface charge by modulating the content and translocation of the positively charged cell membrane phospholipid, lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (LPG). The precise cell membrane adaptations accompanying such β-lactam-induced mprF perturbations are unknown. This study examined key cell membrane metrics relevant to antimicrobial resistance among three daptomycin-resistant MRSA clinical strains, which became daptomycin-susceptible following prolonged exposure to cloxacillin ('daptomycin-resensitized'). The causal role of such secondary mprF mutations in mediating daptomycin resensitization was confirmed through allelic exchange strategies. The daptomycin-resensitized strains derived either post-cloxacillin passage or via allelic exchange (vs. their respective daptomycin-resistant strains) showed the following cell membrane changes: (i) enhanced BODIPY-DAP binding; (ii) significant reductions in LPG content, accompanied by significant increases in phosphatidylglycerol content (p < 0.05); (iii) no significant changes in positive cell surface charge; (iv) decreased cell membrane fluidity (p < 0.05); (v) enhanced carotenoid content (p < 0.05); and (vi) lower branched chain fatty acid profiles (antiso- vs. iso-), resulting in increases in saturated fatty acid composition (p < 0.05). Overall, the cell membrane characteristics of the daptomycin-resensitized strains resembled those of parental daptomycin-susceptible strains. Daptomycin resensitization with selected β-lactams results in both definable genetic changes (i.e., mprF mutations) and a number of key cell membrane phenotype modifications, which likely facilitate daptomycin activity.

Comparative Effectiveness of Switching to Daptomycin Versus Remaining on Vancomycin Among Patients With Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bloodstream Infections. Clin Infect Dis 2021; 72:S68-S73. [PMID: 33512521 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciaa1572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (MRSA BSI) usually receive initial treatment with vancomycin but may be switched to daptomycin for definitive therapy, especially if treatment failure is suspected. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of switching from vancomycin to daptomycin compared with remaining on vancomycin among patients with MRSA BSI. METHODS Patients admitted to 124 Veterans Affairs Hospitals who experienced MRSA BSI and were treated with vancomycin during 2007-2014 were included. The association between switching to daptomycin and 30-day mortality was assessed using Cox regression models. Separate models were created for switching to daptomycin any time during the first hospitalization and for switching within 3 days of receiving vancomycin. RESULTS In total, 7411 patients received vancomycin for MRSA BSI. Also, 606 (8.2%) patients switched from vancomycin to daptomycin during the first hospitalization, and 108 (1.5%) switched from vancomycin to daptomycin within 3 days of starting vancomycin. In the multivariable analysis, switching to daptomycin within 3 days was significantly associated with lower 30-day mortality (hazards ratio [HR] = 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI]: .25, .92). However, switching to daptomycin at any time during the first hospitalization was not significantly associated with 30-day mortality (HR: 0.87; 95% CI: .69, 1.09). CONCLUSIONS Switching to daptomycin within 3 days of initial receipt of vancomycin is associated with lower 30-day mortality among patients with MRSA BSI. This benefit was not seen when the switch occurred later. Future studies should prospectively assess the benefit of early switching from vancomycin to other anti-MRSA antibiotics.

Abstract
Infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and osteosynthesis-associated infections are mostly caused by Gram-positive bacteria. They are often difficult to treat and are associated with a poor prognosis. In the past 20 years, nine antibiotic drugs with predominant activity against Gram-positive bacteria have been introduced and approved by the Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency: ceftaroline, daptomycin, telavancin, dalbavancin, oritavancin, linezolid, tedizolid, delafloxacin, and omadacycline. This narrative review aims to provide an overview on these antibiotics with a special focus on their use in infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and osteosynthesis-associated infections. Although some of these approved antibiotics are promising, they should not be used as first- or second-line therapy, awaiting more clinical data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate evidence for high-dose daptomycin (doses ≥ 8 mg/kg/d). DATA SOURCES A PubMed/MEDLINE literature search was performed (January 2000 to December 2020) using the search terms daptomycin, high dose, and dosing. Review article references and society guidelines were reviewed. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Clinical trials, observational studies, retrospective studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews reporting on high-dose daptomycin were included. DATA SYNTHESIS Experimentally, daptomycin outperforms other antimicrobials for high inoculum and biofilm-associated infections. Clinically, high-dose daptomycin is supported as salvage and first-line therapy for endocarditis and bacteremia, primarily when caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (when vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration is >1 mg/L) and Enterococcus. High-dose daptomycin appears effective for osteomyelitis and central nervous system infections, although comparative studies are lacking. High dosing in renal replacement therapy requires considering clearance modality to achieve exposures like normal renal function. Weight-based dosing in obesity draws concern for elevated exposures, although high doses have not been evaluated kinetically in obesity. Some data show benefits of high doses in overweight populations. Burn patients clear daptomycin more rapidly, and high doses may only achieve drug exposures similar to standard doses (6 mg/kg). RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE This review analyzes the efficacy and safety of high-dose daptomycin in serious gram-positive infections. Discussion of specific infectious etiologies and patient populations should encourage clinicians to evaluate their daptomycin dosing standards. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of high-dose daptomycin and limited safety concerns encourage clinicians to consider high-dose daptomycin more liberally in severe gram-positive infections.

Abstract
Introduction Vancomycin remains first-line therapy for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) blood stream infections (BSI); however, its toxicity and reported clinical failures are well established. Binary efficacy endpoints evaluating alternative anti-MRSA therapies leave clinicians deciphering between segregated clinical and safety outcomes and do not provide a comprehensive patient-centered picture of comparative therapies. This study aimed to apply a novel methodology, desirability of outcomes ranking (DOOR), to compare anti-MRSA therapies. Methods This was a single-centered, retrospective, cohort of adult patients with MRSA BSI that received vancomycin, daptomycin, or ceftaroline. A previously developed DOOR for S. aureus BSI was adjusted and applied to this cohort to compare vancomycin-treated versus daptomycin/ceftaroline-treated patients. The DOOR had five mutually exclusive ranks: (1) alive without treatment failure, infectious complications, or grade 4 adverse events (AEs); (2) alive with any one of treatment failure, infectious complications, or grade 4 AE; (3) alive with two of treatment failure, infectious complications, or grade 4 AE; (4) alive with all three treatment failure, infectious complications, or grade 4 AE; or (5) deceased. Results A total of 43 vancomycin-treated and 13 daptomycin/ceftaroline-treated patients were included. Baseline clinical characteristics were similar, except for higher median serum creatinine in the daptomycin/ceftaroline cohort (0.76 [IQR 0.57, 1.11] vs 1.36 [IQR 1.09, 1.91] mg/dL, P = 0.03). Patients in the daptomycin/ceftaroline cohort had a 92% probability of better outcome using DOOR methodology. Patients treated with daptomycin/ceftaroline experienced less MRSA BSI persistence (0% vs 13.9%), MRSA BSI recurrence (7.8% vs 25.6%), grade 4 AEs (23.1% vs 46.5%), and in-hospital mortality (0% vs 9.3%). Conclusions Although limited by sample size, this study demonstrates the potential of DOOR to produce valuable, patient-centered results. Clinicians are encouraged to become familiar with appropriate use and interpretation of DOOR methodology as it will become an increasingly common endpoint in clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent studies have shown that methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) >1 μg/mL is associated with a higher rate of treatment failure and a higher mortality rate. Daptomycin is an alternative to vancomycin but has not been as well studied. The aim of this literature review was to evaluate the effect of daptomycin MIC on the outcomes of S. aureus bacteraemia. METHODS We conducted a literature search for the period January 2010 to January 2019 using the MEDLINE and Embase databases. RESULTS Four studies were included in the review. The outcomes were clinical cure and 30- or 60-day mortality. In two retrospective studies, 60-70% ofS. aureus isolates had a low daptomycin MIC (≤0.5 μg/mL) and patients with MRSA bacteraemia who were treated with daptomycin had a lower mortality rate. In another study, patients with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus bacteraemia with low daptomycin MICs had a lower risk of developing septic thrombophlebitis. One study showed that patients with MRSA bacteraemia had a higher mortality rate if the daptomycin MIC was >0.5 μg/mL. CONCLUSION The included studies in this review suggest a possible association between high daptomycin MIC and unfavourable clinical outcomes ofS. aureus bacteraemia. Further prospective studies are required to evaluate the impact of the daptomycin MIC on the clinical outcomes of S. aureus bacteraemia.

Abstract
Vancomycin and daptomycin are options for the initial treatment of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. Treatment options for persistent MRSA bacteremia or bacteremia due to vancomycin-intermediate or vancomycin-resistant strains include daptomycin, ceftaroline, and combination therapies. There is a critical need for high-level evidence from clinical trials to allow optimally informed decisions in the treatment of MRSA bacteremia.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are a frequent reason for medical consultations both in the inpatient and outpatient setting. Inadequate management is associated with increased costs, morbidity and mortality. In times of rising antibiotic resistance rational therapy and antimicrobial stewardship are of utmost importance. While it is crucial to avoid excessively broad antimicrobial coverage and unnecessary therapies, serious conditions must be treated effectively. The article highlights common infections and gives recommendations for empiric and targeted antibiotic treatment. Discussed are pulmonary, abdominal, urinary tract, skin and soft tissue infections, as well as sepsis and staphylococcal bloodstream infections. The recommendations consider national and international guidelines, recent publications and current antimicrobial resistance in Germany.

Abstract
The genomic evolution in vivo in persistent infection was critical information for understanding how methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was adapted to host environments with high antibiotic selective pressure. Thirty-two successive MRSA blood isolates with incremental non-susceptibility to vancomycin (VISA), daptomycin (DRSA), and/or linezolid (LRSA) were isolated from a patient failing multiple courses of antimicrobial therapy during 1,356 days of bacteremia. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) for all consecutive isolates were conducted to characterize the evolutionary pathways, resistance-associated mutations and their temporal relationship with antimicrobial treatment. The WGS-based phylogeny categorized the isogenic strains into three major clades, I (22 isolates), II (7 isolates), and III (3 isolates), respectively, harboring a median (range) of 7 (1–30), 62 (53–65), and 118 (100–130) non-synonymous mutations when compared to the very first isolate. Clade I strains were further grouped into early and late subclades, which, respectively, shared the most recent common ancestor with Clade III strains at day 393.7 and Clade II strain at day 662.5. Clade I and Clade III strains were characterized, respectively, with high rates of VISA (9/22, 40.9%) and VISA-and-DRSA phenotype (2/3, 66.7%). Linezolid-resistance including VISA-DRSA-and-LRSA phenotype was exclusively identified in Clade II strains after eight courses of linezolid treatment. The LRSA displayed a small colony variant phenotype and were associated with G2576T mutations in domain V region of 23S rRNA. Substantial loss of mobile elements or alleles mediating resistance or virulence were identified during the evolution of multi-resistance. However, the gene loss might not be correlated to the development of VISA, DRSA, or LRSA phenotype. In conclusion, MRSA in persistent bacteremia was adapted to harsh host environment through multiple pathways involving both resistance-associated mutations and extensive gene loss.

Abstract
Background: The role of daptomycin, a potent, safe, convenient anti-staphylococcal antibiotic, in treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is unclear. We evaluated our experience with the largest cohort of patients with staphylococcal PJI managed with daptomycin. Methods: A cohort of staphylococcal hip and knee PJI treated with daptomycin was identified by hospital records from 2009 to 2016. All cases met Musculoskeletal Infection Society International Consensus criteria for PJI. The primary endpoint was 2 year prosthesis retention. Univariate analyses and regression statistics were calculated. Results: 341 patients with staphylococcal PJI were analyzed. 154 two-stages (77%) and 74 DAIR procedures (52%) met criteria for treatment success at 2 years. 77 patients were treated with daptomycin, of which 34 two-stages (68%) and 15 DAIRs (56%) achieved treatment success. Pairwise and regression analysis found no association between treatment success and daptomycin use. Organism (DAIR only) and Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (DAIR and two-stage) were significantly associated with treatment outcome. Six daptomycin patients (7.8%) had adverse side effects. Discussion: Daptomycin fared no better or worse than comparable antibiotics in a retrospective cohort of staphylococcal hip and knee PJI patients, regardless of surgical strategy. Conclusion: The convenient dosing, safety, and potency of daptomycin make it an attractive antibiotic for staphylococcal PJI. However, these advantages must be weighed against higher costs and rare, but serious side effects.

Relationship Status between Vancomycin Loading Dose and Treatment Failure in Patients with MRSA Bacteremia: It's Complicated. Infect Dis Ther 2019; 8:627-640. [PMID: 31637596 PMCID: PMC6856471 DOI: 10.1007/s40121-019-00268-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2019] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION A one-time vancomycin loading dose of 25-30 mg/kg is recommended in the current iteration of the vancomycin consensus guidelines in order to more rapidly achieve target serum concentrations and hasten clinical improvement. However, there are few clinical data to support this practice, and the extents of its benefits are largely unknown. METHODS A multicenter, retrospective, cohort study was performed to assess the impact of a vancomycin loading dose (≥ 20 mg/kg) on clinical outcomes and rates of nephrotoxicity in patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. The study matched patients in a 1:1 fashion based on age, Pitt bacteremia score, and bacteremia source. The primary outcome was composite treatment failure (30-day mortality, bacteremia duration ≥ 7 days after vancomycin initiation, persistent signs and symptoms of infection ≥ 7 days after vancomycin initiation, or switch to an alternative antimicrobial agent). Secondary outcomes included duration of bacteremia, length of stay post-bacteremia onset, and nephrotoxicity. RESULTS A total of 316 patients with MRSA bacteremia were included. Median first doses in the loading dose and non-loading dose groups were 23.0 mg/kg and 14.3 mg/kg, respectively (P < 0.001). No difference was found in composite failure rates between the non-loading dose and loading dose groups (40.5% vs. 36.7%; P = 0.488) or in the incidence of nephrotoxicity (12.7% vs. 16.5%; P = 0.347). While multivariable regression modeling showed receipt of a vancomycin loading dose on a mg/kg basis was not significantly associated with composite failure [aOR 0.612, 95% CI (0.368-1.019)]; post hoc analyses demonstrated that initial doses ≥ 1750 mg were independently protective against failure [aOR 0.506, 95% CI (0.284-0.902)] without increasing the risk for nephrotoxicity [aOR 0.909, 95% CI (0.432-1.911)]. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that initial vancomycin doses above a certain threshold may decrease clinical failures without increasing toxicity and that weight-based dosing might not be the optimal strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) have been achieved in the last years, improving clinical outcome. However, mortality associated with some pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp., is still high. In addition, the spread of antibiotic resistance, mainly among Gram-negative bacteria, reduces treatment options in some circumstances. Therefore, interest in new drugs, combination regimens and optimal dosing schedules is rising. OBJECTIVES Our aim is to summarize the current evidence on available antibiotic regimens for patients with bacterial BSI, focusing on drug choice, combination regimens and optimal dosing schedules. We selected bacteria that are difficult to manage because of virulence factors (i.e. methicillin-susceptible S. aureus), tolerance to antibiotic activity (i.e. Enterococcus faecalis), and/or susceptibility patterns (i.e. methicillin-resistant S. aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii). SOURCES MEDLINE search with English language and publication in the last 5 years as limits. CONTENT AND IMPLICATIONS The literature gaps on the use of new drugs, the uncertainties regarding the use of combination regimens, and the need to optimize dosing schedules in some circumstances (e.g. augmented renal clearance, renal replacement therapy, high inoculum BSI sources, and isolation of bacteria showing high MICs) have been revised.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus causes various infections, including skin and soft tissue infections and pneumonia via both, community-associated and nosocomial infection. These infectious diseases can lead to bacteremia, and may subsequently result in metastatic infections in several cases. Metastatic infections are critical complications in patients with S. aureus bacteremia, since the optimal duration of the antimicrobial treatment differs in patients with and without metastatic infection. Notably, two weeks of antimicrobial treatment is recommended in case of uncomplicated S. aureus bacteremia, whereas in patients with S. aureus bacteremia-associated endocarditis or vertebral osteomyelitis, six weeks of antimicrobial administration is vital. In addition, misdiagnosis or insufficient treatment in metastatic infection is associated with poor prognosis, functional disability, and relapse. Although echocardiography is recommended to examine endocarditis in the patients with S. aureus bacteremia, it remains unclear which patients should undergo additional examinations, such as CT and MRI, to detect the presence of other metastatic infections. Clinical studies have revealed that permanent foreign body and persistent bacteremia are predictive factors for metastatic infections, and experimental studies have demonstrated that the virulence factors of S. aureus, such as fnbA and clfA, are associated with endocarditis; however, these factors are not proven to increase the risk of metastatic infections. In this review, we assessed the incidence, predictive factors, diagnosis, and treatment for metastatic infections during S. aureus bacteremia.

Abstract
Background: Optimal treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremias (MRSABs) with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) high within the susceptible range is of concern due to the high rate of mortality and increased prevalence. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate vancomycin treatment failures in patients with MRSAB stratified by vancomycin MIC. Methods: In this retrospective chart review, patients ≥19 years of age with MRSAB between July 2010 and December 2016 were included if they received intravenous vancomycin for ≥72 hours. Vancomycin treatment failures were compared between patients with vancomycin MICs of ≤1 mg/L and 2 mg/L. Vancomycin treatment failure was defined as microbiological failure at 7 days. Inpatient mortality, 30-day readmission, vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity, and early bacteremia clearance at 48 to 96 hours were assessed as secondary endpoints. Results: Fifty-eight patients were included in the vancomycin MIC ≤1 mg/L group and 22 patients in the vancomycin MIC 2 mg/L group. No significant difference was found in vancomycin treatment failures at 7 days between groups (88% vs 91%, respectively; P = .850). At 96 hours, there was no significant difference in vancomycin treatment failures between groups (72% vs 90%, respectively; P = .127). No significant difference was found in mortality (P > .99) or 30-day readmission (P > .99). Conclusions: In this study, vancomycin treatment failures were not more prevalent in patients with vancomycin MIC of 2 mg/L at 7 days. Regardless of MIC, antibiotics should be switched to an alternative agent at 7 days for persistent bacteremia.

Abstract
Background Gram-positive organisms are a leading cause of infection in cardiovascular surgery. Furthermore, these patients have a high risk of developing postoperative renal failure in intensive care unit (ICU). Some antibiotic drugs are known to impair renal function. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether patients treated for Gram-positive cardiovascular infection with daptomycin (DAP) experienced a lower incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) when compared to patients treated with vancomycin (VAN), with comparable efficacy. Methods ICU patients who received either DAP or VAN, prior to or after cardiovascular surgery or mechanical circulatory support, from January 2010 to December 2012, were included in this observational retrospective cohort study. We excluded patients with end stage renal disease and antibiotic prophylaxis. The primary endpoint was the incidence of AKI within the first week of treatment. Secondary endpoints were the incidence of AKI within the first 14 days of treatment, the severity of AKI including renal replacement therapy (RRT), the rates of clinical failure (unsuccessful infection treatment) and of premature discontinuation and mortality. To minimize selection bias, we used a propensity score to compare the 2 groups. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to determine factors associated with AKI. Results Seventy two patients, treated for infective endocarditis, cardiovascular foreign body infection, or surgical site infection were included (DAP, n = 28 and VAN, n = 44). AKI at day 7 was observed in 28 (64%) versus 6 (21%) of the VAN and DAP patients, respectively (p = 0.001). In the multivariate analysis adjusted to the propensity score, vancomycin treatment was the only factor associated with AKI (Odds Ratio 4.42; 95% CI: 1.39–15.34; p = 0.014). RRT was required for 2 (7%) DAP patients and 13 (30%) VAN patients, p = 0.035. Premature discontinuation and clinical failure occurred more frequently in VAN group than in DAP group (25% versus 4%, p = 0.022 and 42% versus 12%, respectively, p = 0.027). Conclusions Daptomycin appears to be safer than vancomycin in terms of AKI risk in ICU patients treated for cardiovascular procedure-related infection. Daptomycin could be considered as a first line treatment to prevent AKI in high-risk patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients undergoing open-heart surgery may suffer from postoperative complications, including severe infections. Antimicrobials to treat infectious complications in this population should be selected thoughtfully, taking into account three different and fundamental issues: (i) the site of infection; (ii) the suspected or proven causative agent and its susceptibility pattern; and (iii) the risk of suboptimal pharmacokinetic characteristics and potential toxicity of the chosen drug/s. AREAS COVERED The present narrative review summarizes the current and future antimicrobial options for the treatment of infections developing after open-heart surgery. EXPERT OPINION The pharmacological treatment of infections developing in cardiac surgery patients poses peculiar challenges, including the need for an active empirical therapy for severe events such as bloodstream infections, deep sternal wound infections, or early-onset postoperative prosthetic endocarditis. In addition, the risk for multidrug-resistant pathogens should also be taken into account in endemic areas. A multidisciplinary evaluation on a patient-by-patient basis, deeply involving infectious diseases specialists and cardiothoracic surgeons, remains essential for appropriately balancing both short-term and long-term risks and benefits of any possible surgical reintervention in combination with adequate pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Background Studies have suggested the reduced effectiveness of vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections with high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations. Alternative agents such as daptomycin may be considered. We conducted a randomized controlled study comparing daptomycin against vancomycin in the treatment of MRSA bloodstream infections with high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations. Methods Patients were randomized to receive vancomycin or daptomycin for a minimum of 14 days. The primary end point was the rate of all-cause mortality at day 60. Results A total of 14 patients were randomized in this study, with 7 patients in each treatment arm. The study was terminated early due to slow patient accrual. At day 60, there was one death in the vancomycin arm and none in the daptomycin arm. The median time to microbiological clearance was 4 days in both arms (IQR 3–5 days in the vancomycin arm and 3–7 days in daptomycin arm). Only one patient in the vancomycin arm had recurrence of bacteremia. Rates of adverse events were similar in both arms. There was one case of musculoskeletal toxicity and one case of drug-related nephrotoxicity - both events occurred in the daptomycin arm. None of the patients in either treatment arm required cessation of study treatment or addition of a second anti-MRSA agent because of worsening infection. Conclusion Based on the limited number of patients evaluated in this study, it remains unclear if alternative, more expensive agents such as daptomycin are superior to vancomycin in the treatment of high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration MRSA bloodstream infections. More studies are urgently needed but investigators may wish to consider employing novel, alternative trial methodologies to ensure a greater chance of success.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia is associated with significant healthcare costs, morbidity, and mortality in the United States. Complications of MRSA bacteremia include infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and sepsis, all of which are difficult to treat. Time to effective therapy and antibacterial choice greatly affect patient outcomes. Vancomycin and daptomycin remain first-line therapies; however, reports of vancomycin-associated treatment failure and reduced daptomycin susceptibility highlight the need to define alternative strategies for MRSA bacteremia treatment. In addition, several patient- and pathogen-specific factors influence the outcomes of MRSA bacteremia. It is, therefore, critical to explore the interaction between host- and pathogen-specific factors and its effect on MRSA bacteremia pathogenesis and mortality. This review discusses the factors that drive the development of MRSA bacteremia and examines alternative treatment strategies.

Population pharmacokinetics and dosing considerations for the use of daptomycin in adult patients with haematological malignancies. J Antimicrob Chemother 2018; 72:2342-2350.

Abstract
Objectives To assess the population pharmacokinetics (popPK) of daptomycin at the conventional dose of 6 mg/kg/day in a cohort of oncohaematological patients. Methods Patients underwent serial blood sampling on day 3 of therapy (before dosing and at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12 h after dosing) to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of daptomycin. PopPK and Monte Carlo simulation were performed to define the probability of target attainment (PTA) with 6, 8, 10 and 12 mg/kg/day of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target of AUC 24 /MIC >1081. Results Thirty patients were recruited. A two-compartment open model with first-order intravenous input and first-order elimination was developed. Estimated creatinine clearance (CL CR ), serum albumin concentration (Alb) and presence of AML were covariates included in the final model. Monte Carlo simulation showed that the conventional 6 mg/kg/day dose resulted in optimal PTAs (≥80%) in the presence of pathogens with an MIC up to 0.5 mg/L only in patients with CL CR 50-100 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , Alb 26-45 g/L and a haematological diagnosis other than AML. Conversely, higher dosages, up to 12 mg/kg/day, were needed to achieve this goal in the presence of pathogens with an MIC of 0.25-0.5 mg/L in all of the other tested scenarios. In patients with CL CR 101-150 mL/min/1.73 m 2 and Alb 15-25 g/L, suboptimal PTAs (<60%) were predicted even with 12 mg/kg/day dosing . Conclusions Our study provides a strong rationale for considering daptomycin dosages of ≥ 8 mg/kg/day in several clinical scenarios for oncohaematological patients. In some of these scenarios therapeutic drug monitoring could be a useful adjunct for optimized care.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Current guidelines recommend higher daptomycin doses than the daptomycin label dose of 6 mg/kg for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia; however, the evidence supporting this recommendation is from in vitro and case series studies. This study evaluated the comparative effectiveness of the daptomycin label dose versus higher daptomycin doses in patients with MRSA bacteremia. DESIGN Retrospective national cohort study. SETTING Veterans Affairs medical centers. PATIENTS A total of 371 adults with MRSA bacteremia who were admitted between 2002 and 2015 and treated initially with vancomycin within 24 hours of initial culture collection and then switched to daptomycin therapy within 7 days; 138 patients (37.2%) received daptomycin doses higher than the daptomycin label dose (7 mg/kg or greater), and 233 (62.8%) received the daptomycin label dose (6 mg/kg). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Clinical outcomes were compared among those who received the daptomycin label dose and those who received the higher dose using propensity score-matched Cox proportional hazards regression models. To identify dose partitioning associated with optimal survival, classification and regression tree (CART) analysis was used among patients, controlling for confounding with a 30-day mortality disease risk score. Propensity score-matched 30-day mortality was 8.6% (6/70 patients) among the higher dose group versus 18.6% (13/70 patients) among the label dose group (hazard ratio 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.10-0.94). No significant differences were observed in inpatient mortality, length of stay, 30-day readmission, or 30-day S. aureus reinfection between groups. CART analysis resulted in doses of 7 mg/kg or greater providing benefit only among patients with higher (more than 51%) predicted probabilities of 30-day mortality (p<0.001). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first comparative effectiveness study of daptomycin doses in patients with MRSA bacteremia. Survival benefits were observed with doses higher than the daptomycin label dose (7 mg/kg or greater) for the treatment of MRSA bacteremia. These data suggest that higher doses than the daptomycin label dose may be preferred over the label dose for improving clinical outcomes in patients with MRSA bacteremia.

Multicenter Observational Study of Ceftaroline Fosamil for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infections. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 61:e02015-16.

Abstract
Novel therapies for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection (BSI) are needed in the setting of reduced antibiotic susceptibilities and therapeutic failure. Ceftaroline is a cephalosporin antibiotic with MRSA activity. Although not FDA approved for MRSA BSI, ceftaroline has generated much interest as a potential treatment option. However, detailed descriptions of its use in this setting remain limited. To address this, we conducted a retrospective, multicenter, observational study of adult patients with MRSA BSI treated with at least 72 h of ceftaroline from 2011 to 2015. Safety outcomes were examined in the overall cohort, while efficacy outcomes were examined among patients who had not cleared their BSI prior to ceftaroline initiation. Data were also stratified by ceftaroline monotherapy or combination therapy. Predictors of clinical failure on ceftaroline treatment were also sought. Overall, 211 patients were included in the safety population; Clostridium difficile infection, rash, and neutropenia occurred in 6 patients (2.8%), 7 patients (3.3%), and 3 patients (1.4%), respectively. Clinical success was observed in 86 (68.3%) of the 126 patients included in the efficacy population. The monotherapy and combination therapy subgroups had similar proportions of patients experiencing success (69.7 and 64.9%, respectively). The median BSI durations post-ceftaroline treatment were 2 days (interquartile range, 1 to 4 days) for monotherapy and 3 days (interquartile range, 1.5 to 5 days) for combination therapy. Higher acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II scores and comorbid malignancy independently predicted treatment failure. Ceftaroline appears effective for MRSA BSI as both monotherapy and combination therapy. However, comparative studies are needed to further delineate the role of ceftaroline in MRSA BSI treatment.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus, although generally identified as a commensal, is also a common cause of human bacterial infections, including of the skin and other soft tissues, bones, bloodstream, and respiratory tract. The history of S. aureus treatment is marked by the development of resistance to each new class of antistaphylococcal antimicrobial drugs, including the penicillins, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, glycopeptides, and others, complicating therapy. S. aureus isolates identified in the 1960s were sometimes resistant to methicillin, a ß-lactam antimicrobial active initially against a majority S. aureus strains. These MRSA isolates, resistant to nearly all ß-lactam antimicrobials, were first largely confined to the health care environment and the patients who attended it. However, in the mid-1990s, new strains, known as community-associated (CA-) MRSA strains, emerged. CA-MRSA organisms, compared with health care-associated (HA-) MRSA strain types, are more often susceptible to multiple classes of non ß-lactam antimicrobials. While infections caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains are usually treated with drugs in the ß-lactam class, such as cephalosporins, oxacillin or nafcillin, MRSA infections are treated with drugs in other antimicrobial classes. The glycopeptide drug vancomycin, and in some countries teicoplanin, is the most common drug used to treat severe MRSA infections. There are now other classes of antimicrobials available to treat staphylococcal infections, including several that have been approved after 2009. The antimicrobial management of invasive and noninvasive S. aureus infections in the ambulatory and in-patient settings is the topic of this review. Also discussed are common adverse effects of antistaphylococcal antimicrobial agents, advantages of one agent over another for specific clinical syndromes, and the use of adjunctive therapies such as surgery and intravenous immunoglobulin. We have detailed considerations in the therapy of noninvasive and invasive S. aureus infections. This is followed by sections on specific clinical infectious syndromes including skin and soft tissue infections, bacteremia, endocarditis and intravascular infections, pneumonia, osteomyelitis and vertebral discitis, epidural abscess, septic arthritis, pyomyositis, mastitis, necrotizing fasciitis, orbital infections, endophthalmitis, parotitis, staphylococcal toxinoses, urogenital infections, and central nervous system infections.
