#1: SAB management

Reviewers @KaBourgi, @IgeGeorgeMD, @Courtcita, @MDdreamchaser
We know is subjective & expect feedback/future improvements

1. Clinical management of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: a review.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25268440/
A must read written by Holland et al. where they review the evidence of the management of SAB.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25268440/

2. Impact of Infectious Disease Consultation on Quality of Care, Mortality, and Length of Stay in Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia: Results From a Large Multicenter Cohort Study.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25701854/
ID consult associated with reduced inpatient mortality.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25701854/

3. Predicting Risk of Endocarditis Using a Clinical Tool (PREDICT): Scoring System to Guide Use of Echocardiography in the Management of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25810284/
Predictive risk factors for infective endocarditis, and thus the need for TEE.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25810284/

4. The Cefazolin Inoculum Effect Is Associated With Increased Mortality in Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29977970/
Presence of cefazolin inoculum effect in the infecting isolate was associated with an increase 30-day mortality.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29977970/

5. Cefazolin versus anti-staphylococcal penicillins for treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a narrative review.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28698037/
Similar outcomes for treatment of MSSA but more side effects with the anti-staphylococcal penicillins.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28698037/

6. Use of vancomycin or first-generation cephalosporins for the treatment of hemodialysis-dependent patients with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17173215/
Vancomycin had higher risk of treatment failure compared to cefazolin in MSSA BSI.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17173215/

7. Daptomycin versus standard therapy for bacteremia and endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16914701/
RCT: dapto noninferior to SOC (B-lactams or vanco + gentamicin). Dapto resistance can emerge on treatment and more renal dysfunction in the SOC arm.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16914701/

8. Adjunctive rifampicin for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (ARREST): a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29249276/
Rifampin addition not different to standard therapy in failure, recurrence or death.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29249276/

9. Effect of Vancomycin or Daptomycin With vs Without an Antistaphylococcal β-Lactam on Mortality, Bacteremia, Relapse, or Treatment Failure in Patients With MRSA Bacteremia: A Randomized Clinical Trial. (CAMERA-2)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32044943/
more AKI with combination w/o benefit.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32044943/

10. A Narrative Review of Early Oral Stepdown Therapy for the Treatment of Uncomplicated Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia: Yay or Nay?
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32523971/
Oral step-down therapy can be an alternative in some select patients without complicated SAB.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32523971/
