1 Intravenous treatment comprises 2 weeks of treatment, unless otherwise stated. 2 Oral treatment comprises 10 weeks of treatment, unless otherwise stated. 3 The dose of vancomycin was determined by therapeutic drug monitoring, aiming towards a serum concentration level of ±25 mg/L (continuous infusion). 4 In general, rifampin is added during intravenous treatment after susceptibility is known (after ± 5 days). 5 8 grams of flucloxacillin was chosen because of renal insufficiency. 6 Daptomycin was chosen because of allergy to penicillin.
