Abstract
Objective: We report our experience with the use of ceftaroline in combination with daptomycin or vancomycin for methicillin resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus bacteraemia.
Methods: A multicentre retrospective study was carried out at three institutions of adult patients with methicillin resistant S. epidermidis or S. lugdunensis bacteraemia who were managed with either daptomycin or vancomycin in combination with ceftaroline.
Results: Twelve patients met the inclusion criteria. All patients who received combination therapy had sterile blood cultures on the subsequent blood cultures drawn following ceftaroline initiation. Those who received ceftaroline combination within 7 days had a faster time to blood culture sterilisation than those who received ceftaroline combination therapy after 7 days (6 (3-7) days vs 17 (12-19) days, p=0.031).
Conclusions: The results from this case series support the use of ceftaroline combination therapy in patients with methicillin resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus bacteraemia whose blood cultures failed to sterilise with vancomycin or daptomycin alone.
