  • Title: Failure of once-daily vancomycin for staphylococcal endocarditis.
    Author: Marik PE.
    Journal: Pharmacotherapy; 1998; 18(3):650-2. PubMed ID: 9620118.
    Abstract:
    With the emergence of staphylococci as important hospital pathogens, administration of vancomycin has increased dramatically. Economic and other factors have led to the development of once-daily dosing protocols to simplify and standardize the administration of antibiotics. A patient with Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic valve endocarditis and normal renal function failed therapy with vancomycin once/day. The infection was cured when the regimen was changed to the conventional 12-hour dosing interval.
