Reduced Vancomycin Susceptibility of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Has No Significant Impact on Mortality but Results in an Increase in Complicated Infection.

Abstract excerpt

Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bloodstream infections (BSIs) often lead to severe complications despite the availability of effective antibiotics. It remains unclear whether elevated vancomycin MICs are associated with worse outcomes. We conducted a 2-year retrospective cohort study (n = 252) of patients with MSSA BSIs at a tertiary care hospital. We defined reduced vancomycin susceptibility...
