Vancomycin plus nafcillin salvage for the treatment of persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia following daptomycin failure: a case report and literature review
Background: Evidence supporting beta-lactam plus vancomycin synergy for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to grow. Current in vivo evidence demonstrates that combination therapy is associated with shorter time to blood sterilization than vancomycin monotherapy. However, th...
