In 2020, EUCAST introduced breakpoints for temocillin. Based on these guidelines, reporting of temocillin susceptibility of Enterobacterales in the context of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) implicates the use of a high dose of temocillin (2 g q8h) constantly. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of patients treated with the standard dose (4 g/day) of temocillin in outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (tOPAT). Demographics, clinical and treatment parameters, and late clinical cure (at day 30 after tOPAT completion) were recorded. Univariate generalised estimating equation analyses, with clinical cure as outcome variable, were performed to evaluate covariate associations. Fifty-seven tOPAT episodes in 50 patients were included with a median antimicrobial treatment duration of 21 (range 10–228) days, and cUTI was the main indication (87.7%). Late clinical cure was achieved in 85.7% of the tOPAT episodes. Non-disseminated infections and minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values ≤ 8 mg/L were associated with good late clinical outcome. In conclusion, a standard temocillin dose (4 g/day) results in good clinical outcomes in the treatment of cUTIs in tOPAT patients. Therefore, our centre concluded that the use of standard temocillin dosing should be continued instead of the high dose for cUTI in non-critically ill patients infected with Enterobacterales with an MIC ≤ 4 mg/L. |
