Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The Review is a welcome and up-to-date consensus statement on the use of vancomycin. Although many of the points are pertinent to Australasian practice, the clinical context may be subtly different such that different recommendations apply here. It is thus an apt time for clinical, biochemical, pharmacological and pathology staff in Australasia to collaborate and discuss the literature with particular relevance to establishing guidelines for an Australasian context. The new TG (Version 14) will be an interesting update in the antibiotic TDM area and we hope it will be used as a springboard for Australasian clinical research into this area.
