Trial of the Week: Linezolid v Daptomycin in VRE BSI

Special Guest: Nick Britt, PharmD, MS, BCPS, BCIDP


Nick Britt joins to highlight his first-author research comparing the use of linezolid v. daptomycin for treatment of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus bloodstream infection (VRE BSI) published in Clinical Infectious Diseases in 2015. We review what the standard of care was for treatment at this time, how this study became to be, covering this featured article and discussing outcomes/results, then reviewing studies published since, how we still use results from this study, and much, much more.
