TL;DR: Nafcillin was superior to vancomycin in preventing bacteriologic failure (persistent bacteremia or relapse) for methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) baiteremia following antistaphylococcal therapy, and most were relapses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective multicenter study of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: incidence of endocarditis, risk factors for mortality, and clinical impact of methicillin resistance.

TL;DR: Persistent bacteremia (positive blood cultures at day 3 of appropriate therapy) was identified as an independent risk factor for both endocarditis and mortality, a unique observation not reported in other prospective studies of S. aureus baiteremia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a prospective observational study in 6 university teaching hospitals and evaluated 505 consecutive patients with S. aureus bacteremia, including 21% with community-acquired S. annealing, 5% with hospital- acquired BAs, and 12% on hemodialysis, and the 30-day mortality was 31% among patients with endocarditis compared to 21% in patients who had BAs.
