Endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: treatment failure with linezolid
Clin Infect Dis.

Abstract
We describe 2 cases of endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that failed to respond to intravenous linezolid therapy but were successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole plus gentamicin and vancomycin plus rifampin.
