Description
Cecilia Li leads a 2026 retrospective study of early switching to oral antibiotics for uncomplicated enterococcal bacteremia, a bloodstream infection. The study covered adults treated at two Boston hospitals from 2021 to 2024. It compared patients kept on intravenous therapy alone with those switched early to pills, tracking cure at 90 days.
Of 209 patients, 119 had intravenous therapy alone and 90 switched early to oral treatment. Cure rates were similar, at 73.9 percent and 82.2 percent, with no clear differences in failure, readmission, or death. Hospital stay was much shorter in the switch group, at 9 days against 20 days. The authors call early switching a safe and effective option.
