may be irreversible and has been associated with high serum trough levels. The risk of ototoxicity
increaseswhentheaminoglycosidesareadministeredincombinationwithhigh-doseloopdiuretics,highdose macrolide antibiotics, or vancomycin. Long courses of aminoglycosides warrant baseline and

AdverseEvents
The most frequent side effects associated with the tetracyclines are anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and
epigastric distress. These are typically lessened if the agents are administered with food.
Thrombophlebitis is associated with IV administration, and it is recommended that doxycycline be
administeredinalargevolumeandinfusedslowly.Hepatotoxicityisararebutpotentiallyfataltoxicity.
Theriskofhepatotoxicityincreasesifthepatientisconcurrentlyreceivingotherhepatotoxicagents.Graybrown discoloration of the teeth canbe a permanent effect of the tetracyclines. It results from stable
tetracycline–calcium complexes in bone and teeth and is related to dose and duration of therapy.
Therefore,childrenyoungerthanage8shouldnotreceivetetracyclines.Patientsreceivingtetracyclines
aremoresensitivetotheeffectsofthesunbecauseofaccumulationofthedrugintheskin.Minocycline
has been associated with dose-related vertigo. Tigecycline has been reported to cause asymptomatic
hyperbilirubinemia.
DrugInteractions
There are multiple druginteractions involving the tetracyclines. Theabsorption ofthetetracyclines is
affectedbyseveral agents.Tetracyclinesformchelatingcomplexes withdivalentandtrivalentcations,
decreasing tetracycline absorption. It is recommended that the administration of tetracyclines and
antacids,iron,cholestyramine,andsucralfatebeseparatedbyatleast1hour.Likewise,fooddecreases
the absorption of most tetracyclines, with the exception of doxycycline. Milk anddairy productsalso
impair their absorption. Phenytoin and carbamazepine, CYP (cytochrome P-450) enzyme inducers,
decrease the half-life of doxycycline. Concomitant administration of the tetracyclines and oral
contraceptives results in decreased levels of the oral contraceptive, so an additional form of
contraception is recommended. The tetracyclines also potentiate the effect of warfarin by impairing
vitaminKproductionbyintestinalflora.
SULFONAMIDES
In 1932, the dye prontosil rubrum was found to be effective in treating streptococcal infections.

GLYCOPEPTIDES
Vancomycin,aglycopeptideantibiotic,wasintroducedin1958.Shortlyafteritsintroduction,vancomycin
becameknownasMississippiMudbecauseofthecolorandimpuritiesinthemanufacturingprocess.The
clinicaluseofvancomycinwasinitiallylimitedduetoitspotentialfordrug-relatedtoxicities,alternative
available agents, and concern for the development of resistance. However, since the early 1980s,
vancomycinhasbeenanimportantagentintreatinggram-positiveinfections.Morerecentadditionstothis
class include dalbavancin (Dalvance), oritavancin (Orbactiv), and telavancin (Vibativ). All of these
agentshaveanarrowspectrumofactivitydirectedtowardgram-positiveorganisms.Thenewestagents,

PharmacokineticsandPharmacodynamics
VancomycinispoorlyabsorbedfromtheGItract.Becauseofitspoorbioavailability,oraladministration
ofvancomycinprovidesconcentrationsinthestoolsufficienttotreatClostridiumdifficile colitis. The
volume of distribution for vancomycin and telavancin, respectively, is 0.6 to 0.9 L/kg and 0.1 L/kg.
Vancomycinisminimallyboundtoproteins;however,telavancinishighlyboundtoproteins(greaterthan

mg/kgIVwiththeintervalbasedonkidneyfunction.Table6.14providesanexampleofavancomycin-
dosing nomogram, and Table 6.15 provides the dosing of dalbavancin, oritavancin, and telavancin.
Monitoring renal function is important in determining proper dosing because dosage adjustments are
necessary in patients with renal insufficiency. Both vancomycin and telavancin are renally excreted,
primarilyasunchangeddrug.Vancomycin’shalf-lifeinadultswithnormalrenalfunctionis5to11hours.
Thehalf-lifeoftelavancinis approximately8hours.Neithertelavancinnorvancomycinisclearedtoa

Serumdrugmonitoringhasbeenusedforvancomycininpatientswithunpredictablekidneyfunctionor
severe infections or those receiving therapy for more than 3 to 5 days. In general, the target trough
concentrationrangesfrom15to20mg/mLforpneumonia,osteomyelitis,meningitis,andendocarditisand
from10to15mg/mLforotherinfections.
However, recent evidence suggests that trough levels may not correlate well to area under the
concentration (AUC) values. An updated consensus guideline on the therapeutic monitoring of
vancomycinwasrecentlypublishedandnowrecommendsAUC-baseddosingthatincludesbothpeakand

OXAZOLIDINONES
The oxazolidinones are a totally synthetic antibiotic class first investigated in the late 1980s as
antidepressant agents. Serendipitously, these agents were discovered to have excellent antibacterial
activity.Themainreasonfortheirclinicaldevelopmenthasbeentheemergenceandspreadofresistance

PharmacokineticsandPharmacodynamics

and levels increase linearly as the dose is increased. The absolute bioavailability of these agents is
greaterthan90%.Theoralformulationmaybeadministeredwithoutregardtomeals.Oxazolidinonesare
predominantly eliminated by nonrenal mechanisms, and their metabolism does not involve the CYP
enzyme system. Linezolid is removed by hemodialysis and should be dosed following hemodialysis
sessions,whiletedizolidisnotsignificantlyaffected.Table6.16providesdosinginformation.
Oxazolidinones are considered bacteriostatic agents. Oxazolidinones exhibit a modest to prolonged

PharmacokineticsandPharmacodynamics
Daptomycin’s pharmacokinetics are nearly linear and time independent at doses of up to 6 mg/kg
administered once daily for 7 days. Its half-life is approximately 8 hours. The apparent volume of
distribution in healthy adults is approximately 0.1 L/kg. Daptomycin reversibly binds human plasma
proteins,primarilytoserumalbumin,withameanserumproteinbindingof90%.Becauserenalexcretion
