Abstract

Bacteremia caused by Methicillin-sensitive (MSSA) and Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) Staphyloccus aureus strains are common and severe infections associated with high mortality rates and specific characteristics in disease course, complications and therapy. In this review, we discuss current recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of MSSA and MRSA bloodstream infections. We also highlight why infectious disease consultation improves the treatment and outcome of patients with SAB and should be considered as a standard of care.
