Clinical Telavancin Failure in Persistent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia

Le résumé fourni par la source

Telavancin is a fairly novel antibiotic derived from vancomycin developed to combat the constant evolutionary war against bacteria. It has achieved high clinical success in its role in treating Gram-positive organisms, although like in the case of any other antibiotics, failure can arise. The purpose of this article is to describe a case in which telavancin clinically failed in treating persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia in a patient while describing the cause that led to telavancin failure.
