TLDR
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.About:

Clinical Practice Guidelines by the Infectious Diseases Society of America for the Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections in Adults and Children

TL;DR: These guidelines discuss the management of a variety of clinical syndromes associated with MRSA disease, including skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI), bacteremia and endocarditis, pneumonia, bone and joint infections, and central nervous system infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus Infections: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Management
TL;DR: This review comprehensively covers the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management of S. aureus as a leading cause of bacteremia and infective endocarditis as well as osteoarticular, skin and soft tissue, pleuropulmonary, and device-related infections.

Daptomycin versus Standard Therapy for Bacteremia and Endocarditis Caused by Staphylococcus aureus
Vance G. Fowler,Helen W. Boucher,G. Ralph Corey,Elias Abrutyn,Adolf W. Karchmer,Mark E. Rupp,Donald P. Levine,Henry F. Chambers,Francis P. Tally,Gloria Vigliani,Christopher H. Cabell,Arthur Stanley Link,Ignace DeMeyer,Scott G. Filler,Marcus J. Zervos,Paul P. Cook,Jeffrey Parsonnet,Jack M. Bernstein,Connie S. Price,Graeme N. Forrest,Gerd Fätkenheuer,Marcelo Gareca,Susan J. Rehm,Hans Reinhardt Brodt,Alan D. Tice,Sara E. Cosgrove +25 more
TL;DR: Daptomycin (6 mg per kilogram daily) is not inferior to standard therapy for S. aureus bacteremia and right-sided endocarditis and met prespecified criteria for the noninferiority of daptomecin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced Vancomycin Susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus, Including Vancomycin-Intermediate and Heterogeneous Vancomycin-Intermediate Strains: Resistance Mechanisms, Laboratory Detection, and Clinical Implications
Benjamin P Howden,John K. Davies,Paul D R Johnson,Paul D R Johnson,Timothy P. Stinear,Timothy P. Stinear,M Lindsay Grayson,M Lindsay Grayson +7 more
TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that sequential point mutations in key global regulatory genes contribute to the hVISA and VISA phenotypes, which are associated predominately with cell wall thickening and restricted vancomycin access to its site of activity in the division septum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Helen W. Boucher,G. Ralph Corey +1 more
TL;DR: The trends in both nosocomial and community-associated MRSA infections are examined and recent studies of the mechanisms that allow S. aureus to become resistant to currently available drugs are explored.

Rapid method for epidemiological evaluation of gram-positive cocci by field inversion gel electrophoresis.
Richard V. Goering,M A Winters +1 more
TL;DR: The utility of the rapid method for the isolation of intact chromosomal DNA from gram-positive cocci that is suitable for in situ restriction endonuclease digestion in agarose blocks is demonstrated in the epidemiological evaluation of Staphylococcus epidermidis clusters from two hospitals as well as of additional representative staphylitis and enterococci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective study of 424 cases of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: determination of factors affecting incidence and mortality.
Philip C. Hill,M. Birch,Stephen T. Chambers,D. Drinkovic,Ellis-Pegler Rb,Richard J. Everts,David R. Murdoch,S. Pottumarthy,S. A. Roberts,C. Swager,Susan Taylor,Mark G. Thomas,C. G. Wong,Arthur J. Morris +13 more
TL;DR: A small number of patients with a history of S. aureus infection and a high mortality are diagnosed with bacteraemia, a common complication of the infection, and the use of antibiotics to treat this condition is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus catheter-associated bacteremia. Minimal effective therapy and unusual infectious complications associated with arterial sheath catheters.
TL;DR: A 10- to 15-day course of parenteral antibiotics was equivalent to longer courses of therapy in patients without early complications, and almost one third of S aureus catheter-related bacteremias were community acquired, reflecting increased usage of intravascular devices for home parenTERal support.

Recurrent Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia: Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Findings in 29 Patients
Vance G. Fowler,Li Kuo Kong,G. Ralph Corey,Geoffrey S. Gottlieb,R. Scott McClelland,Daniel J. Sexton,Diane Gesty-Palmer,Lizzie J. Harrell +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that recurrent episodes of S. aureus bacteremia are primarily relapses and are associated with an indwelling foreign body, receiving vancomycin therapy, and hemodialysis dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receptor Specific Clearance by the Reticuloendothelial System in Chronic Liver Diseases: DEMONSTRATION OF DEFECTIVE C3b-SPECIFIC CLEARANCE IN PRIMARY BILIARY CIRRHOSIS
TL;DR: Measurements of receptor specific clearance, but not clearance of aggregated proteins, have revealed a highly specific defect in reticuloendothelial function in PBC.
