Characterization of Methicillin‐Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates from Patients with Persistent or Recurrent Bacteremia

Abstract

Persistent or recurrent MRSA bacteremia occurred in 10.4% of patients with MRSA BSIs. Initial isolates from patients with persistent or recurrent MRSA BSIs were more likely to exhibit reduced susceptibility to vancomcyin, but were not associated with any genotype.
