Ceftaroline for bloodstream infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: a multicentre retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of ceftaroline vs. vancomycin or daptomycin in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (BSIs) (MRSA-BSIs).

Methods: This multicentre retrospective study conducted in 15 Spanish hospitals included data from the first MRSA-BSIs of adult patients between January 2019 and December 2022.

Cloxacillin plus fosfomycin versus cloxacillin alone for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: a randomized trial.

Treatment failure occurs in about 25% of patients with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia. We assessed whether cloxacillin plus fosfomycin achieves better treatment success than cloxacillin alone in hospitalized adults with MSSA bacteremia. We conducted a multicenter, open-label, phase III-IV superiority randomized clinical trial.
