1 Quality improvement for DUE: Vancomycin, Linezolid and Daptomycin Vancomycin ภก.วส นต กาต บ Vancomycin. In: DRUGDEX System [Internet database]. Greenwood Village, Colo: Thomson Healthcare. Updated periodically. FDA Labeled Indication Infection of skin AND/OR subcutaneous tissue Infective endocarditis, Lower respiratory tract infection Staphylococcal infectious disease, Methicillin-resistant Clostridium difficile diarrhea(oral only) Vancomycin. In: DRUGDEX System [Internet database]. Use of vancomycin is appropriate or acceptable For treatment of serious infections caused by beta-lactam- resistant gram+ve microorganisms For treatment of infections caused by gram+ve microorganisms in patients who have serious allergies to beta-lactam antimicrobials. When antibiotic-associated colitis fails to respond to metronidazole therapy or is severe and potentially life-threatening. MMWR Recomm Rep Sep 22;44(RR-12):1-13.

2 Use of vancomycin is appropriate or acceptable Prophylaxis, as recommended by the AHA, for endocarditis following certain procedures in patients at high risk for endocarditis Prophylaxis for major surgical procedures involving implantation of prosthetic materials at institutions that have a high rate of infections caused by MRSA/MRSE MMWR Recomm Rep Sep 22;44(RR-12):1-13. Dosing Regimen by indication Bacteremia associated with intravascular line MRSA /MRSE: 15 mg/kg IV q 12 hr ampi-resistant,vse: 15 mg/kg iv q 12 hr ± gentamicin 1 mg/kg iv q 8 hr Bacterial meningitis MRSA-Associated CNS Infections: 15 to 20 mg/kg/dose iv q 8-12 hr Critically ill loading dose mg/kg (actual body weight) Dosing Regimen by indication Infection of skin AND/OR subcutaneous tissue MRSA: 30 mg/kg/day Infective endocarditis MRSA: 15 mg/kg iv q 12 hr trough concentration เ=15-20 mcg/ml Lower respiratory tract infection MRSA:2 g/day iv q 6 or 12 hr Vancomycin Concentration and Killing Activity Relationship between pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic indices for vancomycin and bacteriologic efficacy against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus.

3 Pharmacodynamics of Vancomycin and Other Antimicrobials in Patients with Staphylococcus aureus Lower Respiratory Tract Infections 100 Culture-pos sitive (%) Treatment day AUC24/MIC <400 (n = 16) AUC24/MIC 400 (n = 18) p = Time (days of therapy) to bacterial eradication vs vancomycin AUC24/MIC <400 and AUC24/MIC 400 illustrated by a Kaplan-Meier survival plot of day of therapy vs the percentage of patients remaining culturepositive on that day. The two AUC24/MIC groups differed significantly (p = ). Moise-Broder et al.
