Vancomycin evalauted

Link: HighWire Press -- Medline Abstract.

    CONCLUSIONS: Surgery within the previous 6 months and intensive care unit admission were identified as significant risk factors for patients with MRSA bacteremia with a vancomycin MIC 2 microg/mL undergoing hemodialysis. These patients experienced a longer mean hospital length of stay and increased hospital costs compared with patients with MRSA bacteremia with a vancomycin MIC < or =0.5 microg/mL and uninfected controls.
