In order to align with the latest guidelines proposed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for vancomycin dosing and monitoring, CIHA has embarked on a strategic journey with the PrecisePK platform to achieve this goal. It is believed that the latest developments in vancomycin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics have shifted the focus away from traditional trough monitoring in favor of achieving an area under the curve over 24 hours to a minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC/MIC) ratio of 400–600 mg/hour/L for effective treatment of serious Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections.
