A large-scale natural experiment was conducted in the United States and several European countries when each adopted different policies on glycopeptide use in animals (avoparcin) and humans (vancomycin) [16,17,35–37].
Among the adverse effects of vancomycin (apart from nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity), anaphylactoid reactions may occur, which manifest clinically as cutaneous rash, pruritus ('red man' syndrome), hypotension and broncospasm [ 4, 8, 9].
· Patients affected by pruritus during vancomycin infusion but who were treated with a β-blocker before surgery did not exhibit any significant haemodynamic or respiratory change.
In other words, the European community reservoir generated by vancomycin use in hospitals and avoparcin use in agriculture was apparently much larger than the US community reservoir generated only by vancomycin use in hospitals.
For this reason, the international literature recommends that vancomycin be infused over a period of 60 min in order to prevent these side effects, and hypotension in particular, which in some cases manifests as life-threatening shock [ 6, 8, 9, 16].
