  1. Is Vancomycin Obsolete for Treating Serious Staphylococcal Infections? Part I Edward L. Goodman, MD, FACP, FIDSA, FSHEA August 26, 2009

  2. Outline • Case presentation • Are vancomycin failures increasing? • Persistence of bacteremia • Metastatic foci of infection • Longer duration of fever • Vancomycin for MSSA • MIC creep of MRSA • Pharmacodynamics of antibiotics: AUIC • Consensus Guidelines 2009 • Alternatives to vancomycin • Daptomycin • Linezolid • Tigecycline • Ceftobiprole?

  3. Case PresentationMR #1283989 • 57 yo diabetic man admitted THD 2/08 with testicular pain and swelling • Required intubation, tracheostomy and was found to have MRSA in trach secretions 2/6/08 • 7/19/08 readmitted with recurrent scrotal pain and swelling • 2/2 blood cultures drawn 7/9/08 had MRSA with vancomycin MIC of 2, daptomycin MIC 1. • Could not do TEE due to obesity • Received vancomycin 7/19 till 8/18 (30 days)

  4. Case Continued • Readmit 9/8/08 with 2/2 blood cultures growing MRSA, Vanc MIC 2, dapto MIC 1 • Vancomcyin 9/10-913/08; then daptomycin (MIC 1) 9/14-10/15 (31 days) • Readmit 1/27/09 with hip abscess • 1/30/09 hip abscess drained: MRSA Vanc MIC 2 • Treated with daptomycin MIC 2 • Hospitalized for unrelated problems 7/09 • ASC in ICU 7/10/09 still positive for MRSA!

  5. Microbiology and Pharmacokinetics

  6. Comments • Clearly received adequate dose and duration of vancomycin • Yet relapsed within 3 weeks of a prolonged course • This scenario is not new, but seems to be increasing in frequency • Has MRSA become resistant to vancomycin? • MIC of 2 is within the susceptible range defined by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute CLSI (sensitive <=2, intermediate 4-8, resistant >=16)

  7. How Does Vancomycin Compare to Beta Lactams for MSSA? • Chang et al. Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia. 2003 Medicine;82:333-339.

  8. Stryjewski et al. Clin Inf Dis 2007;44:190-196

  9. Does Resistance in MSSA Explain Vancomycin’s Failure? (Stryjewski et al)

  10. Are there other explanations? (Stryjewski et al)

  11. We Accept that Vancomycin is Inferior to Anti-staphylococcal Beta Lactams! • What about MRSA? • Until recently we had no other choices. • Vancomycin is cheap, relatively safe, easy to give. • But is it effective? • What factors explain its apparent increasing failures?

  12. MIC Creep • Mohr JF, Murray BE. Point: Vancomycin is Not Obsolete for the Treatment of Infections Caused by MRSA. Clin Inf Dis 2007;44:1536

  13. Pharmocodynamics: Dosing for Efficacy Peak Blood Level MIC Trough Time

  14. Parameters of antibacterial efficacy • Time above MIC (non concentration killing) - beta lactams, macrolides, clindamycin, glycopeptides • 24 hour AUC/MIC - aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, azalides, tetracyclines, glycopeptides, quinupristin/dalfopristin • Peak/MIC (concentration dependent killing) - aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, daptomycin

  21. Key Take Home Message

  22. Alternatives to Vancomycin for Less Serious MRSA Infections • Skin and Soft Tissue • Trimethoprim-sulfa (TMP/SMX) • Doxycyline/minocycline • Clindamycin if no inducible resistance • NOT LEVOFLOXACIN! • Urinary Tract Infections (always rule out bacteremia before Rx) • TMP/SMX • Not doxycycline or minocycline or linezolid • Not adequate urinary concentration • Plain tetracycline if susceptible (94%) • Perhaps, fluoroquinolones if susceptible in vitro

  23. Alternatives to Vancomycin for Serious MRSA Infections • Daptomycin • Linezolid • Tigecycline (not for bacteremia) • Ceftobiprole (not yet FDA approved) • COME BACK 9/16/09 FOR PART II and HEAR MORE ABOUT THE ALTERNATIVES TO VANCOMYCIN!
