Abstract
Given that it is unlikely that randomized clinical trials will yield answers for treating the most challenging bacteremic infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, clinicians, microbiologists, and pharmacists will have to cooperate to discover novel ways to select successful individualized antimicrobial therapy for these patients. An example of such a strategy was demonstrated in the identification and utilization of imipenem/cilastatin plus fosfomycin to treat a particularly recalcitrant MRSA bacteremia and spinal abscess.Entities:
