Abstract
Impact of teicoplanin maintenance dose and MIC values on the clinical outcomes of patients treated for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia Ching-Yen Tsai,1 Chen-Hsiang Lee,1,2 Chun-Chih Chien,3 I-Ling Chen4 1Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan; 2Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan; 3Department of Laboratory Medicine, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan; 4Department of Pharmacology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan Objectives: Teicoplanin, a glycopeptide, is regarded as among the drug choices for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Few studies have evaluated the relationship between teicoplanin minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and outcomes among patients with serious MRSA infections. Subjects and methods: We investigated the relationship between teicoplanin maintenance dose and clinical outcomes, on the completion of teicoplanin therapy, in bacteremia patients with MRSA infection, with different teicoplanin MICs. A total of 146 adult patients with MRSA bacteremia were enrolled at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital between September 2012 and September 2015. Results: A higher number of patients in the high-dose regimen group (6 mg/kg/12 h) had favorable outcomes than those in the standard-dose regimen group (6 mg/kg/24 h) (84.1% vs 41.2%; p
