Abstract excerpt

USA300 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasing as a cause of severe community-associated bacteremic infections. We assessed severe sepsis in response to infection in patients with USA300 MRSA compared to non-USA300 MRSA bacteremia. A cohort study was conducted from 1997 to 2008 comparing sepsis in response to infection in 271 patients with MRSA bacteremia from 4 VA hospitals. Sixty-seven...
