MRSE (S. epidermidis)
MRSA
VISA
Enterococci HLGR ( that means high level genta
resistant)
VRE (Vanco resistant Enterococci)
VGS (Streptococci viridanse penicilline resistant)
MRSA 30% HLGR 20% VRE 5% VGS 8%
VISA


For MRSA and MRSE recently appear a
reduced susceptibility to Vancomycin
(VISA) Vancomycin intermediate SA with
MIC > 1-1,5 will significantly reduce
therapeutical effect
In endocarditis, and bacterimia specially
with this bacteria and sensibility is very
important to check several times MIC and
adapt the therapy to the results
VISA mechanism


The reduce susceptibility to Vancomycine appears to result
from changes in PEPTIDOGLYCAN biosynthesis
VISA strains synthetaze additional quantities of PTGLC that
result in irregularly thickened cell wall and with increase
number of
Synthesis of a modified cell-wall precursor
“ D-ALA-D- LACTATE”
In PTGLC in the place of D-ALA D-ALA (Antibiotic binding target)
that is Vanco place.
D-ALA- D-LACTATE reduce the affinity of PTGLC for
Glicopeptide (1000 times)
Today FDA for IE with MRSA





Vanco-( with Genta or Rifam)
Teicoplanin (Targosid) practical, single dose no renal
failure problems, very well tolerated, but significant
resistances, often high MIC
Daptomicine (Cubicin), alone or in association
Dalfopristine-Quinopristine (Synercide) side effects not
very well tolerated
Linezolide (Zivox) practical also for long time therapy
(oral effective like IV) good in renal failure,
bacterecidal for Streptococcus, bacteriostatic for
Staphilococcus and Enterococcus

Tigecicline (Tigacil) the first clinically
available drug in a new class of antibiotic
called Glycylcyclines. It is similar to the
Tetracyclines, derivated of Minocycline.
Active for MRSA, MRSE, VISA, VRSA, VRE,
Acinetobacter, Klebsiella. Bacteriostatic is
not first choice for Endocarditis and
Bacteremia, low resistances.

Fusidic Acid (Fucidin) bacteriostatic very
effective in MRSA and MRSE and anaerobs(
gram+/-), but with good penetration in lungs
and blood (IE, septicimia).

Moxifloxacin, last generation of Chinolones,
very active against MRSA, VRE with
biofilm.
Pharmacodinamic of Moxifloxacin versus
Vancomicine against biofilm of MRSA and
MRSE (Journale of chemiotherapy, 2010)

Ceftobiprole, fifth generation of
Cephalosporines, very active in MRSA and
MRSE.
DAPTOMICIN



DAPTOMICIN (Cubicin) a lipopeptide
shows fast bactericidal activity against
MRSA, MRSE even VISA and VRSE, with
very low percent of resistances.
Drug of choice every time, or only IE/
bacterimia from VISA?
Or in patient with an IE where from some
reason, for example renal failure, is
difficult to use Vanco + Gentamicine
MRSA Bacteremia



400 patients, 1991-2005
All patients treated with Vanco
ODDS ratio mortality following MIC
1
MIC 1
2,8
MIC 1,5
6,3
MIC 2
Cubicin study (Endocarditis)
Daptomicine was successful
75% MRSA
71% Enterococci
50% MRSE
ICE (International collaboration of IE)


5117 pts from many countries (20002007) with IE 31% of MRSA are VISA
(MIC 2-4) with high mortality 50%
At that time only possibility was to add
LINEZOLID in monotherapy or on
association with RIFAMPICINE and
FUSIDIC ACID
Association
The association of any drug with
RIFAMPICINE in IE on prostetic valve, or
other intracardiac or intravascular
prostetic material
is very effective
with a good sterilization of the foreign
bodies, more effective that in simple IE
Compearing of the activity of
different antibiotics versus biofilms
A study about Staffilococcical adesivity
(mediated by biofilm) to biomedical
disposals, and the impact of different
antibiotics, showed that, for the adesivity
of MRSE to foreign bodies (dacrone
filaments) the treatment with Daptomicine
was more effective in the eradication of
bacteria compare with Vanco and
Cefotriaxon
MRSA biofilm producer in IE central
catheter related


After 24 hours of exposition Daptomicine
and Tigecicyline are more active against
biofilm compare to Linezolid and Vanco
After 3 days Daptomicine showed a
greater speed in destroying MRSA from
biofilm followed by Tigecycline that was
faster versus Linezolide, Rifa and Vanco.
Daptomicine resistance 5%



Strong correlation between reduce sensibility to
Daptomicine, and Vancomycine resistant in VISA
A THIKENING of the bacterial wall like in VISA can
contribute to resistance to Daptomicine in S.A.
Daptomicine is MW > 1.620, so is difficult penetrate
the thikened bacterial wall just like in VISA. In this
case increase the daily dose till to have 12 mg/kg
monodose for 2 weeks without side effects ( in IE for
MRSA 30-40 days)
An other way to prevent BR is the association with
synergic effect with Genta and Rifampicine very
helpful in VISA strains as well
Previous use of Vanco affect in
unfoverable way on the susceptibility
to Daptomicine

MRSA (aortic prosthesis, infected PM, endocard abscess)

Before therapy MIC for Vanco (2) MIC for Dapto (1)

in the second week of therapy with Vanco MIC Vanco (4)
and Dapto (1) with reduced therapeutical effect

start therapy with Daptomicine, after 2 weeks of therapy
MIC Vanco (8) and Dapto (4) with therapeutic failure
probable due to the previous therapy with Vanco

Previous different antibiotic therapy failed or not, don’t
affect the activity of daptomicin
Patient with blood culture positive
for SA MDR



Start with a single dose of Rifampicine MIC
0.01216
Change therapy to Vanco + Imipenem (this for
short time only) MIC Vanco 1  8 at the end of
the therapy and became resistant
The strains not sensible to Vanco show the
reduction of sensibility to Dapto of 100 times and
MIC 0.01  1 even if this drug was never utilized
in therapy
Linezolid and Endocarditis



14 patients surgically treated for left-sided active
endocarditis
- 10 (85%) NVE, 2(15%)PVE
- 11 (85%) with positive blood cultures
- 8 (70%) MRSA
- 4 (30%) Penn.R. viridans streptococci.
- 2 (15%) with resected valves positive cultures
- Enterococcus MDR (Vanco OK)
Switch from Vanco IV to oral Linezolid after 5±4
days from surgery (600mg X 2 ) for 3 weeks
Mean follow-up of 20±7 months
Clinical follow-up








ICU stay 3±3 days
The total hospital LOS was 10,5±3,4 days
Follow-up in 100% patients
All blood cultures negative
No hospital death (30days)
2 late deaths, no cardiac (14,3%)
No cases of recurrent endocarditis
No periprosthetic leakage
VRE therapy


Patients with IE by Enterococci Daptomicine was
active even in VRE (Vancomycin resisitant
Enterococci) in monotherapy at 6 mg/kg/day for
30 days or in association with
Gentamycin,Rifampicin, Ampicillin
1 case of IE by VRE in prosthetic valve with
therapeutic failure with Linezolid
Succes with Daptomicine + Rifam+Genta thanks
to bactericidal action compared to the
bacteriostatic of Linezolid that in case of VRE
VRE- Linezolid

Vancomycine - Daptomicine




In empiric antibiotic therapy in IE Dapto could be the
drug of choice for bactericidal activity against MRSAMRSE -Enterococci when Vanco show MIC >1
The mortality risk related to MIC > 2 is the same to the
risk related to an inappropriate therapy
Attention because Dapto show stronger bactericidal
activity in MRSA-MRSE superior to Vanco in IE
in IE (where there is an elevated bacterial charge)
Vanco has very slow bactericidal effect, almost
bacteriostatic and need higher doses and longer
treatment, in continue infusion (keep Vancocynemia of


Pulmonary atresia 15 days 3 kg
Surgical correction in ECC
ICU – open chest (3 days)
Postop:blood cultures positive for MRSA (baby intubated at
birth),sensible to glicopeptides
Therapy from the begining with Teicoplanin (for preop and
postop ARF, creat +++)
But CRP ++++ PCT without any changing after therapy!!!
We start with Vanco and after 2 days, CRP, PCT and others
biochemical parameters start to decrease
But ....
Teico MIC 5
Vanco MIC 0,5
..... Unfortunately in delay!!!!
