Investigation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus showing reduced vancomycin susceptibility isolated from a patient with infective endocarditis.

Abstract excerpt

A patient with infective endocarditis (IE) caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was treated with vancomycin (VAN). VAN was ineffective, although therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) indicated that the recommended trough level was maintained.
