Bone and Joint Infection, Patient Treated by Daptomycin
Conditions
Keywords
Bone and Joint Infection, Daptomycin
Brief summary
Daptomycin is a cyclic lipopeptide that has been proposed as an alternative therapeutic option in patients with prosthetic joint infection caused by Staphylococcus or Enterococcus species in the latest Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines. The population pharmacokinetics (PK) of daptomycin have been described in various groups of patients in previous publications. However, little information exists on the PK of daptomycin in patients with bone and joint infections (BJI). Also, previous population studies did not investigate daptomycin PK over prolonged therapy, and, to our knowledge, no study has reported the intraindividual PK variability of this drug. The aim of this study is to describe the inter- and intraindividual PK variability of this drug.
