Methodology We will conduct a prospective open label randomized controlled phase 2B pilot study in 3 major Singaporean hospitals, with balanced treatment assignments within each hospital achieved by permuted block randomization. There will be 21 subjects per arm, with the control arm receiving vancomycin and the experimental arm receiving daptomycin. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of daptomycin treatment versus vancomycin treatment in the treatment of MRSA BSIs due to isolates with high vancomycin MICs (i.e. > or equal to 1.5 ug/mL) in terms of reducing all-cause mortality 60 days from positive index blood culture. Secondary outcomes include rates of clinical failure, time to microbiological clearance, and rates of nephro- and muscular toxicities in both arms.
