Journal: Important new therapies for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 7, 2020 All these compounds represent promising options to enhance our antibiotic armamentarium. However, data regarding the use of these new compounds in real-life terms are limited and their best placement in therapy and in terms of optimization of medical resources and balance of cost-effectiveness requires further investigation.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 17, 2020 Emergence of reduced susceptibility to vancomycin warrants the development of new antimicrobial agents for the treatment of MRSA...Dalbavancin was tested alone and in combination with five β-lactams: cefazolin, cefepime, ceftaroline, ertapenem and oxacillin...The synergy demonstrated against these organisms supports the use of dalbavancin in combination with β-lactams against resistant phenotypes of S. aureus. Further evaluation is warranted.

Journal: Effects of Microplate Type and Broth Additives on Microdilution MIC Susceptibility Assays. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 17, 2020 We observe very significant differences in measured MICs (up to 100-fold) for some lipophilic antibiotics, such as the Gram-positive lipoglycopeptide dalbavancin and the Gram-negative lipopeptide polymyxins, and find that non-specific binding plates can replace the need for surfactant additives. Microtitre plate types and any additives should be specified when reporting broth dilution MIC values as results can vary dramatically for some classes of antibiotics.

Journal: Can dalbavancin be used as a catheter lock solution? (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2020 Dalbavancin proved to be active against MRSA and MRSE biofilms. The combination of dalbavancin with heparin is a promising catheter lock solution that has the advantage of locking the catheter at home for 7 days.

Journal: Towards single-peak dalbavancin analogs through biology and chemistry. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 20, 2019 The double mutant afforded the desired deacyl, deacetyl A40926 intermediates, which could be converted by chemical re-acylation yielding A40926 analogs with a greatly reduced number of congeners. The newly acylated analogs could then be transformed into dalbavancin analogs possessing the same in vitro properties as the approved drug.

In theory, this may translate to reducing the utilization of healthcare resources by allowing for earlier discharge and reducing the need for outpatient parenteral therapy. While the approval of new agents offers the opportunity to improve and simplify treatment of ABSSSI, it is more important now than ever to use these agents in a responsible manner.

Clinical, PK/PD data, Review, Journal: Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Telavancin Compared with the Other Glycopeptides. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 9, 2019 Telavancin was discovered by modifying the chemical structure of vancomycin and belongs to the group of lipoglycopeptides...Although, in contrast to the newer lipoglycopeptides, telavancin demonstrates a relatively short half-life and rapid total clearance, its apparent volume of distribution (V) is almost identical to that of dalbavancin...Considering both the AUC24/MIC ratios of telavancin and the near complete equilibration of the free fraction in plasma with soft tissue, telavancin is an appropriate antimicrobial agent to treat soft tissue infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens. Although the penetration of telavancin into epithelial lining fluid (ELF) requires further investigations, the AUC24/MIC ratio for S. aureus indicates that bactericidal activity in the ELF could be expected.

(Pubmed Central) - Sep 6, 2019 Use of higher vancomycin dosages in attempts to achieve higher trough concentrations has been associated with increased nephrotoxicity. New recently approved antibiotics including ceftaroline, dalbavancin, and tedizolid offer a number of advantages over vancomycin to treat staphylococcal infections: improved antimicrobial activity, superior pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, tolerability, and dosing, including once-daily and weekly regimens, and less need for monitoring drug levels.

As for any emerging antibiotic agent, resistance is likely to develop against these highly effective antibiotics. Only through appropriate dosing, utilization and careful resistance development monitoring will these novel antibiotics continue to treat Gram-positive pathogens in the future.
