your daily reminder that ertapemen works poorly among patients w/ albumin <2.5 mg/dL

albumin tightly binds ertapenem. albumin functions like a antibiotic depot, allowing once-daily dosing

daily ertapenem is great for less sick *outpatients*

for sick ICU pts with alb <2.5 choose meropenem #EMIMCC
Among 100 patients with persistent MSSA bacteraemia who were treated with ertapenem combination therapy, those with hypoalbuminemia (<2.5g/dL) had a significantly longer time to negative blood cultures.
