Ceftobiprole (CFB), especially in combination, could be a promising alternative treatment for infective endocarditis. A main determinant of clinical response to antibiotic treatment is drug concentration at the infected site. Data on CFB and Daptomycin (DPT) heart valve penetration are lacking. Here we report a clinical case of CFB and DPT treatment combination for endocarditis. Then, we measured CFB and DPT concentrations in a native infected valve to verify their pharmacokinetic penetration and relationship with pharmacodynamic microbiological markers. The isolated microorganism was a MRSA with CFB and DPT MIC &lt; 2 mg/L and &lt;1 mg/L, respectively. The CFB and DPT plasma concentrations were 36.2 and 14.1 mg/L, respectively and the extrapolated concentration, based on each half-life, at the operatory time were 16.4 and 19.1 mg/L for CFB and DPT, respectively; the corresponding median CFB and DPT valve concentrations were 2.26 (IQR 2.14-2.69) and 12.9 µg/g (IQR 5.69-20.9), respectively; the estimated tissue/plasma ratios for CFB and DTP were 0.14 and 0.67, respectively. The association of CFB and DPT showed a good efficacy in this single endocarditis clinical case, confirmed by plasma and tissue PK/PD data. This report shows the first data on CFB valve tissue penetration, and it needs to be confirmed in other patient valve tissues. Moreover, relative studies of correlation with clinical efficacy are needed.
