Clinical features associated with bacteremia due to heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus.
We assessed all episodes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia at our hospital during a 12-month period (n=53) and compared those due to heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA; n = 5, 9.4%) with those due to vancomycin-susceptible MRSA (n=48). Patients with hVISA bacteremia were more likely to have high bacterial load infections (P=.001), vancomycin tr...

متن کاملClinical Features, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Bacteremia due to Enterococci with High-Level Gentamicin Resistance: Comparison with Bacteremia due to Enterococci without High-Level Gentamicin Resistance
High-level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) in enterococci has increased since the 1980s, but the clinical significance of the resistance and its impact on outcome have not been established. One hundred and thirty-six patients with bacteremia caused by enterococci with HLGR (HLGR group) were compared with 79 patients with bacteremia caused by enterococci without HLGR (non-HLGR group). Hematologic m...
متن کاملBacteremia due to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: New Therapeutic Approaches.
This article reviews recent clinical evidence for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. Vancomycin remains the initial antibiotic of choice for the treatment of patients with MRSA bacteremia and endocarditis due to isolates with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration ≤2 μg/mL, whereas daptomycin is an effective alternative, and ceftaroline seems pr...
