Using MRSA Screening Tests To Predict Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia

Bloodstream infections with Staphylococcus aureus are clinically significant and are often treated with empirical methicillin resistance (MRSA, methicillin-resistant S. aureus) coverage. However, vancomycin has associated harms. We hypothesized that MRSA screening correlated with resistance in S. au...
