The doses in this table are intended for patients with normal kidney function. The doses of many of these agents must be adjusted in the setting of kidney function impairment; refer to the individual drug monographs included within UpToDate for renal dosing adjustments.

HLAR: high-level aminoglycoside resistance; IM: intramuscularly; IV: intravenously; PVE: prosthetic valve endocarditis.

* Patients unable to tolerate beta-lactams should receive treatment as for infection due to isolates with intrinsic penicillin resistance. Refer to UpToDate table on treatment regimens for PVE due to an enterococcal strain resistant to penicillin and susceptible to vancomycin and aminoglycosides.

¶ In general, the ampicillin-ceftriaxone combination regimen is preferred over the streptomycin combination regimen. The beta-lactam combination regimen is active against Enterococcus faecalis strains (with and without HLAR) and is the regimen of choice for patients with HLAR Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis. However, it is not active against Enterococcus faecium; data for other non-faecalis species are limited. The beta-combination regimen may be used for patients with normal or impaired kidney function, abnormal cranial nerve VIII function, or if the laboratory is unable to provide rapid results of aminoglycoside serum concentration.

Δ For treatment of infection due to isolates that are gentamicin resistant and streptomycin susceptible (growth inhibited by 1000 mcg/mL) in patients with creatinine clearance >50 mL/minute. Although this regimen was used effectively before gentamicin was established as the preferred aminoglycoside, AHA 2015 guidelines discourage its use. This is because of general lack of physician familiarity with streptomycin, supply shortages, lack of readily available laboratory testing for serum concentration monitoring, and cranial nerve VIII toxicity (refer to UpToDate text).

◊ In adults, streptomycin is dosed based on ideal body weight. Dose should be adjusted to obtain serum peak concentration of 20 to 35 mcg/mL and a trough concentration of <10 mcg/mL. The risk of irreversible cranial nerve VIII toxicity is high with 6 weeks of streptomycin. Streptomycin combination therapy should not be used in patients who have or develop creatinine clearance <50 mL/min, or who have cranial nerve VIII or visual impairment. Cranial nerve VIII function should be monitored at least weekly during therapy. Alternative considerations, including shortening the streptomycin course or completion of treatment with the beta-lactam combination regimen, should be considered.
