Multicenter Cohort Study of Ceftaroline Versus Daptomycin for Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Bloodstream Infection Open
Background Observational data suggest ceftaroline may be effective for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection (BSI), but comparative data with standard of care are limited. This analysis compares the outco…

Therapeutic Monitoring of Vancomycin for Serious Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections: A Revised Consensus Guideline and Review by the American Society of Health-system Pharmacists, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, and the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists Open
Recent clinical data on vancomycin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics suggest a reevaluation of current dosing and monitoring recommendations. The previous 2009 vancomycin consensus guidelines recommend trough monitoring as a surrogate …

Effect of Algorithm-Based Therapy vs Usual Care on Clinical Success and Serious Adverse Events in Patients with Staphylococcal Bacteremia Open
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01191840.
View article: Role of Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations by Modified Population Analysis Profile Method and Clinical Outcomes in High Inoculum Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections
Role of Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations by Modified Population Analysis Profile Method and Clinical Outcomes in High Inoculum Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections Open
Vancomycin PAP MIC may be a more relevant predictor of patient outcomes in persistent bacteremic MRSA infections (e.g., IE). This susceptibility method is less applicable in other high inoculum infections with shorter bacteremia durations …
View article: Clinical and Economic Comparison of Ceftaroline Fosamil (CPT) and Daptomycin (DAP) for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bloodstream Infections (BSI)
Clinical and Economic Comparison of Ceftaroline Fosamil (CPT) and Daptomycin (DAP) for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bloodstream Infections (BSI) Open
DAP is the primary alternative to vancomycin for MRSA BSI but other options are needed in cases of treatment failure and/or reduced susceptibility. Observational data suggest CPT may be effective but comparative data are limited. This stud…

Doing the Same with Less: A Randomized, Multinational, Open-Label, Adjudicator-Blinded Trial of an Algorithm vs. Standard of Care to Determine Treatment Duration for Staphylococcal Bacteremia Open
Background The appropriate duration of antibiotics for staphylococcal bloodstream infection (BSI) is unknown. An algorithm to identify patients with staphylococcal BSI who can be safely treated with shorter courses of therapy would improve…
