Endocarditis: Treatment Options
Hanna Yudchyts Pharm.D.09/25/2013
Objective
• Introduce patient case • Review treatment options for Vancomycin-
Resistant Enterococci (VRE) endocarditis• Analyze prevalence of Linezolid resistance• Discuss Daptomycin as a treatment option in
multidrug resistant endocarditis • Evaluate treatment of selected patient
Patient Case
HPI/PMH
• SK is 32 year old male • Past Medical History
– Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) – ESRD: hemodialysis (Tue, Thu, Sat)– DVT in April 2013
• Began having fevers 1.5 months ago• Cultures at HD center:
– Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa • Antibiotics initiated
– Gentamycin + Vancomycin
HPI/PMH
• 07/29: HD catheter was removed and cultured• Cultures revealed
– Gentamicin resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa– Vancomycin resistant Enterococci (VRE)
• Despite resistant cultures patient was continued on same antibiotics for 4 weeks
• 08/28: repeated cultures revealed same organisms
• Patient was advised to come to the hospital
HPI/PMH
• Patient complained of perianal abscess on admission
• Smoker: 1 ppd x 15 years• EtOH abuse: quit 2 years ago • Denies IVDU• Allergies
Penicillin anaphylaxis
Medications Prior to Admission
• Emtricitabine (Emtriva®) 200 mg every 4 days• Darunavir (Prezista®) 600 mg every 12 hours• Ritonavir (Norvir®) 100 mg twice daily• Tenofovir (Viread®) 300 mg every 7 days

Laboratory Findings on Admission
CD4: 215 cells/mcLViral load 276 copies/mL
Transthoracic Echocardiogram (09/04)
• Mild to moderate aortic valve thickening and suggestion of attached mildly mobile material (vegetation) on aortic valve
• April 2013 study appears to show a normal aortic valve
• Picture is highly suggestive for infective endocarditis involving aortic valve
Therapy Initiated
• Bacteremia/ IE– Linezolid 600 mg IV to be given after HD– Metronidazole 500 mg IV to be given after HD– Aztreonam 1000 mg IV one time, followed by 250 mg every
12 hours • HIV
– Emtricitabine 200 mg every 3 days– Darunavir 600 mg every 12 hours– Ritonavir 100 mg twice daily– Tenofovir 300 mg every 7 days – Trimethoprim- Sulfamethoxazole DS (Tue, Thu, Sat)
Infective Endocarditis
Pathogens
• Most common pathogens: (≈ 80%)– Streptococci– Staphylococci– Enterococci
• HACEK microorganisms (5-10%)– Haemophilus parainfluenzae/paraphophilus, influnzae– Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans– Cardiobacterium hominis– Eikenella corrodens– Kingella kingae/denitrificans
• Other: fungi, polymicrobial, culture negative
Risk Factors
Patient Factors
• > 60 y/o• Male • Injection drug use• Poor dental hygiene
Comorbid Conditions
• Structural heart disease• Valvular disease• Congenital heart disease• Prosthetic heart valve• History of IE• Presence of intravascular
devise• Chronic hemodialysis• HIV infection
Enterococci Endocarditis
• E. faecium are often multidrug- resistant• Vancomycin resistant E. faecalis are usually
Penicillin susceptible• Linezolid inhibits the growth of both E. faecalis
and E. faecium • Quinupristin- dalfopristin (Synercid) only inhibits
E. faecium, since E. faecalis are intrinsically resistant to it
Therapy for multidrug Resistant Enterococcal Endocarditis
• Linezolid therapy resulted in 77% cure rate• Synercid therapy was effective in 4 out of 9
patients • Double β- lactam combinations only been used in
a small number of patients• Clinical results of daptomycin therapy are needed • Surgery is often indicated, since cardiac valve
replacement may be the only chance of cure in some patients
•Linezolid 600 mg q 12 h IV/PO
•Quinupristin- dalfopristin 22.5 mg/kg/day IV in 3 equally divided doses
Enterococcus faecium
•Imipenem/cilastatin 2 g/24h IV in 4 equally divided doses + Ampicillin 12 g/24h IV in 6 equally divided doses
•Ceftriaxone 4 g/24h IV/IM in 2 equally divided doses + Ampicillin 12g/24h IV in 6 equally divided doses
Enterococcus faecalis
Therapy for Native or Prosthetic Valve Enterococcal Endocarditis Caused by Strains Resistant to Penicillin, Aminoglycoside, and
Vancomycin
Treatment ≥ 8 weeks
KS Microbiology ResultsSource Blood Wound deep buttock
Organism Vancomycin-Resistant E. faecalis
Vancomycin-Resistant E. faecalisE. Coli (sparse amount)
Sensitivity Sensitive• Ampicillin• Chloramphenicol• Linezolid (MIC=2)
Resistant• Streptomycin• Gentamicin• Amikacin
LinezolidClass Oxazolidinone
MOA Inhibits the bacterial ribosomal translation process by selectively binging to a site on the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit, thereby preventing initiation complex formation with the 70S ribosomal subunit
Spectrum Good• MSSA, MRSA• Streptococci• Enterococci (VRE)• Nocardia
Moderate• Atypicals
Poor• Gram- negative, anaerobes
MIC standards S: ≤ 2 mcg/mLI: 4 mcg/mLR: ≥ 8 mcg/mL
Linezolid Resistant Enterococci: Literature Reports
1. Linezolid- resistant Enterococci: report of the first isolates in the United Kingdom
2. Emergence of linezolid resistance in the vancomycin- resistant Enterococcus faecium multilocus sequence typing C1 epidemic lineage
3. Response to emerging infection leading to outbreak of linezolid- resistant enterococci
4. Antimicrobial Resistance to Linezolid5. Increasing incidence of linezolid- intermediate or resistant ,
vancomycin- resistant enterococcus faecium strains parallels increasing linezolid consumption
6. Linezolid- resistant, vancomycin resistant enterococcus faecium infection in patients without prior exposure to linezolid
LEADER Surveillance Program
• 2011– Susceptibility rate at 99.8%
• 2010– Susceptibility rate at 99.6%– 12 Enterococci were found resistant – 5 of them were in New York State
Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. February 2013 vol. 57 no. 2 1077-1081.
Treatment course in SK
• 09/05: Linezolid, Metronidazole, Aztreonam were discontinued
• Daptomycin 500 mg IV daily was started– Cultures: Vancomycin-Resistant E. faecalis– Linezolid MIC of 2– Decrease in platelets: 479 334
• 09/10: SK underwent aortic valve replacement
Role of Daptomycin in Enterococcal infections
• Active against > 98% of Enterococci tested• Data from randomized controlled trials is
limited• Extensive clinical experience
– Staphylococcal bacteremia– Right sided endocarditis– Skin and soft tissue infections– Bone and joint infections
Susceptibility of Enterococci to antibiotic agents in multicenter, comparative studies worldwide
Daptomycin in Infective Endocarditis
• Case reports of Daptomycin for IE caused by Enterococcus have yielded various outcomes
• It is unclear whether cases of treatment failure were due to underlying co- morbidities or failure of the medication

Treatment Progression
• Pharmacist intervention:– Daptomycin dose adjustment: 500 mg IV q 48 h – Emtricitabine 200 mg PO q 4 days
• Patient remained afebrile • Repeat blood culture were negative • 09/16 TTE results were found normal• Patient was discharged
Conclusion
• Treatment options for VRE endocarditis are limited • Individual case reports of Linezolid resistant
Enterococci are described in the literature• According to LEADER surveillance program,
Linezolid has high susceptibility results• Daptomycin has extensive activity against
Enterococci• Randomized controlled trials are required to
evaluate Daptomycin efficacy in VRE endocarditis
