Abstract
It is uncertain whether flucloxacillin achieves therapeutic concentrations against meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In this study, plasma and CSF concentrations of flucloxacillin and vancomycin in an adult patient were compared. Unlike vancomycin, the flucloxacillin CSF level was not therapeutic. Flucloxacillin monotherapy should be used with caution for MSSA central nervous system infection in adults.
