TL;DR: Having an ID consultation during the index hospital stay among patients with SAB was associated with improved postdischarge outcomes for at least 5 years, suggesting that contributions of ID specialists to management during acute infection may have a substantial influence on long-term outcomes.

Rapid Identification of Staphylococcus aureus Directly from Bactec Blood Culture Broth by the BinaxNOW S. aureus Test
TL;DR: The BinaxNOW Staphylococcus aureus testing showed sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predicative values of 97.6, 100, 100%, 100%, and 98.4%, respectively, for identification of S. aUREus from Bactec blood culture broth.

TL;DR: Recurrence was strongly associated with liver and renal failure, diabetes and immune-suppressive drugs, and a persistent focus was judged the primary reason for recurrence in 23(74%).

TL;DR: compliance to SBC in all patients at risk for complicated SAB and the use of both TEE and PET scans in these patients is strongly advised, as even in uncomplicated SAB, TEE or PET scan can reveal metastatic infections.
