Patel et al. Int J Clin Pharm. 2014;36:1282-89. Ceftriaxone-Resistant MSSA Ceftriaxone-Resistant MSSA Pickering A et al. Clin Infect Dis. 14 March 2014. (Retraction, 2014) Phe K et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 17 Nov 2014;59:1730. Ceftriaxone-Resistant MSSA Phe K et al tested 17 isolates of MSSA and found 100% concordance between oxacillin and ceftriaxone Ceftriaxone MIC ranged from 1-8 µg/ml MRSA isolate was tested and shown to be resistant to ceftriaxone Ceftriaxone MIC = 32 µg/ml Ceftriaxone susceptibility for MSSA predicted by oxacillin*for and/or staphylococcal cefoxitin infections, sensitivity. a Clinical & daily Laboratory dose of 2-4 Standards grams daily Institute (CLSI) no longer should publishes be administered breakpoints to for ceftriaxone achieve > 90% target attainment and MSSA FDA breakpoints revised in 2011 FDA Breakpoints for MSSA Susceptible Intermediate Resistant MSSA* 4 8 16 Adapted from: Ceftriaxone Reappraisal of Food and Drug Administration In Vitro Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria by Paul G. Ambrose, Pharm.D., FIDSA 3

Ceftriaxone Target Attainment Ceftriaxone Target Attainment Ceftriaxone 2g daily will attain ~25% free-drug time above MIC for a MIC 4 µg/ml with 90% probability Ceftriaxone 1g will attain this target at MIC 2 µg/ml Adapted from: Ceftriaxone Reappraisal of Food and Drug Administration In Vitro Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria by Paul G. Ambrose, Pharm.D., FIDSA Nguyen H et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2013;57:161-2. Ceftriaxone Using Oxacillin MIC Ceftriaxone Using Oxacillin MIC Probability of errors: Oxacillin-susceptible/ceftriaxone-resistant < 0.1% Oxacillin-susceptible/ceftriaxone-intermediate ~ 4.3% Probability of Ceftriaxone MIC 8 µg/ml in Oxacillin Susceptible MSSA Oxacillin MIC (µg/ml) 0.25 0.5 1 2 Probability (%) 1.6 3.9 17.5 48.7 Nguyen H et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2013;57:161-2. Nguyen H et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2013;57:161-2. The Bottom Line Ceftriaxone has been used with success for infections caused by MSSA Ceftriaxone MIC data is inferred from oxacillin and/or cefoxitin susceptibility Ceftriaxone gets adequate target attainment with a MIC 4 µg/ml with ~90% probability with daily doses 2g The Bottom Line Oxacillin MIC data may be used to predict ceftriaxone treatment success It has been suggested that success is optimized: Oxacillin MIC 0.5 µg/ml Ceftriaxone daily dose 2g/day Patients should be assessed on an individual basis until higher quality data exists 4

Daptomycin in the Obese Daptomycin Dosing Daptomycin levels: C min 24.3 mg/l correlated with increased probability for CPK elevation Obese patients have impaired clearance of daptomycin Higher doses and impaired clearance can lead to increases in C min and thus cause increased incidence of CPK elevations Bhavnani SM et al. Clin Infect Dis. 15 Jun 2010;50(12):1568-74. Donovan B et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2010;51(8):989. Ng J et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 21 Oct 2013;58(1):88-93. Daptomycin IBW vs ABW Outcomes Two Major Arms: ABW IBW Inclusion Criteria: 17 years of age Positive culture Daptomycin therapy 72 hours Exclusion Criteria: ABW < IBW Continuation of outside institution Renal impairment Preexisting rhabdomyolysis Ng J et al.

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 21 Oct 2013;58(1):88-93. 6

The Bottom Line Overdosing on daptomycin doesn t seem to be a terrible safety concern in most patients, including the obese population Single study only included 4mg/kg and 6mg/kg regimens Study showed no significant differences between IBW or ABW The Bottom Line Most of the benefit of dosing on IBW appears to be cost related More data should likely exist before we dose all our patients on IBW Perhaps, the new generic daptomycin will help this problem as well Echinocandin Therapy Pros Cons Echinocandins vs Azoles Anidulafungin vs Fluconazole Reboli A et al. N Eng J Med. 2007;356:2472-82. Reboli A et al. N Eng J Med. 2007;356:2472-82. 7

The Bottom Line Candidiasis Guideline Update 2009 Guidelines 2016 Guidelines Empiric Therapy: Non-neutropenic Patients: Fluconazole Neutropenic Patients: Fluconazole Echinocandin recommended if patient has recent azole use Empiric Therapy: Non-neutropenic Patients: Echinocandin Neutropenic Patients: Echinocandin Pappas P et al. Clin Infect Dis. 15 Feb 2016;62(4):409-17. The Bottom Line Post-Assessment Question 1. Which of the following is a controversial topic discussed in today s lecture involving treatment of patients with daptomycin? a) Daptomycin dosing weight b) Treating infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae c) Potential creatinine kinase elevations d) Treating patients with pneumonia Pappas P et al.

Which of the following is NOT a potential benefit of using an echinocandin for therapy in patients with invasive candidiasis? a) Fewer drug interactions b) Cost c) Superior microbiologic response d) Empiric coverage for all Candida sp. 8
