Should daptomycin–rifampin combinations for MSSA/MRSA isolates be avoided because of antagonism?
2016
Purpose
There is increasing clinical evidence from observational studies, that combination therapy of daptomycin with rifampin is a valuable treatment option for biofilm-associated difficult to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections such as osteomyelitis, prosthetic joint infection and endocarditis. However, two studies analyzing a limited number of S. aureus isolates reported an antagonism of those two drugs questioning the benefit of this combination.
