Abstract
The area under the curve (AUC)/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio was used as an indicator of the clinical efficacy of vancomycin. However, the target AUC/MIC has not been set for methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CNS), and the effectiveness of vancomycin in strains with high MIC is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the vancomycin MIC and therapeutic efficacy in patients with MR-CNS bacteremia. The primary outcome was the difference in treatment failure rate when the MR-CNS vancomycin MIC was 1 or 2 µg/mL. The treatment failure rate did not significantly differ between the two groups (MIC 1 vs. MIC 2: 27.0% vs. 31.0%; p = 0.779). As a result of multivariate analysis, AUC/MIC0-24 h ≤230 was extracted as risk factor for treatment failure, suggesting the importance of a sufficient initial loading dose and early blood concentration monitoring to increase AUC/MIC0-24 h for successful treatment.

The Journal publishes original experimental and clinical research articles, state-of-the-art reviews, brief communications and letters on all aspects of chemotherapy, providing coverage of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, as well as the use of anticancer and immunomodulating drugs.
Specific areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
· Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiprotozoal agents;
· Anticancer classical and targeted chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, hormonal drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cell therapy and gene therapy;
· Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antimicrobial and anticancer agents;
· The efficacy, safety and toxicology profiles of antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Drug interactions in single or combined applications;
· Drug resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Research and development of novel antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, including preclinical, translational and clinical research;
· Biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance for antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics;
