“…aptomycin is being increasingly used for the treatment of complicated Gram-positive infections, such as osteomyelitis and infections of prosthetic devices caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (1,2), but the evidence for the effectiveness of combination regimens with daptomycin has been limited. In cases of primary treatment failure with S. aureus infections, rifampin has been recommended as an adjunctive therapeutic agent (3).…”

“…For the therapy of osteomyelitis in humans, DAP treatment regimens of 4 to 6 mg/kg once daily are currently used, although the use of a higher dose (Ͼ6 mg/kg) may improve outcome rates (15). For rats, Sakoulas et al demonstrated that the subcutaneous administration of DAP at 25 and 40 mg/kg once daily resulted in maximum drug concentrations and total drug exposures in serum that approximated those observed for humans given 4 and 6 mg/kg intravenously once daily (37).…”
