Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Elevated vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) have been reported to adversely affect clinical outcome in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection (BSI). We therefore examined the association between vancomycin MIC and outcome considering various potential confounders. METHODS: Clinical data and bacterial isolates were prospectively collected from patients...
