Abstract
There are limited therapeutic options to treat infections caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm). The lipoglycopeptide oritavancin exhibits in vitro activity against this pathogen, although its utility against infections caused by VREfm has not been clinically established. In this study, the pharmacodynamic activity of free-drug levels associated with 12 mg/kg/day of daptomycin and a single 1,200-mg dose of oritavancin were determined against three VanA VREfm isolates in an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model.Entities:
