Objectives
The best therapeutic approach for treating MRSA endocarditis remains unknown, particularly in cases of high vancomycin MICs. We report here a case of daptomycin-non-susceptible, ceftaroline-resistant and fosfomycin-resistant MRSA native left valve endocarditis that was successfully treated with valve repair and a combination of high-dose daptomycin and ceftaroline.
Methods
Antimicrobial testing of the clinical strain was performed using Etest and microdilution broth methods. Time–kill and chequerboard methodologies were used to test the activity of antibiotic combinations.
Results
By Etest, the MIC of vancomycin was 2 mg/L, the MIC of daptomycin was 2 mg/L, the MIC of fosfomycin was 1024 mg/L and the MIC of ceftaroline was 1.5 mg/L. At the standard inoculum (105 cfu/mL), the three combinations of daptomycin plus ceftaroline, cloxacillin or fosfomycin were synergistic and bactericidal. However, when these combinations were tested using a higher inoculum (108 cfu/mL), all combinations were synergistic, but only daptomycin plus ceftaroline had bactericidal activity.
Conclusions
These results confirmed a synergistic effect between daptomycin plus ceftaroline and increased bactericidal activity against MRSA, suggesting that this combination may be effective for the treatment of invasive MRSA infection. Our experience highlights the potential clinical use of synergy testing to guide difficult treatment decisions in patients with MDR MRSA infection.
