  • Title: Lack of increase in time to blood culture positivity in a patient with persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia predicts failure of antimicrobial therapy.
    Author: Liao CH, Huang YT, Chu FY, Lin TH, Hsueh PR.
    Journal: J Microbiol Immunol Infect; 2008 Aug; 41(4):355-7. PubMed ID: 18787745.
    Abstract:
    Time to positivity is an available parameter in automated blood culture systems. We report a patient with persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia who received various regimens for treatment of methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and demonstrate that monitoring of the time to positive blood culture might be helpful in the early recognition of treatment failure.
