Potential therapeutic failure of generic vancomycin in a liver transplant patient with MRSA peritonitis and bacteremia

Carlos A Rodriguez et al. J Infect. 2009 Oct.

Abstract

We report a case of generic vancomycin treatment failure in a liver transplant patient with MRSA peritonitis and bacteremia, followed by a rapid sterilization of blood and peritoneal fluid after switching to the branded product. It raises concern about therapeutic equivalence of generic vancomycin.
