Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In a patient with mitral-aortic, native valve, Streptococcus oralis endocarditis, daptomycin concentrations in aortic and mitral valves were 8.6 and 30.8 μg/g, respectively, and 26 μg/g in the mitral vegetation. In case of aortic, porcine valve, Staphylococcus epidermidis endocarditis, daptomycin concentration was 53.1 μg/g in the valve and 18.1 μg/g in perivalvular tissues. Daptomycin achieved apparently adequate tissue concentrations. S. epidermidis was eradicated, whereas Streptococcus oralis persisted, and its daptomycin MIC displayed a 4-fold increase.
