Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is a critical illness with high mortality, especially for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. Intensivists sometimes have difficulty treating patients with severe Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia even today. The main antibiotics used against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), such as oxacillin, nafcillin and cloxacillin, are not approved in Japan. Therefore, anti-MRSA drugs with insufficient evidence for use in critically ill patients are given. Current first-choice antibiotics in Japan include cefazolin for MSSA and vancomycin for MRSA. Prescribing daptomycin for persistent MRSA bacteremia despite adequate vancomycin therapy or MRSA bacteremia with minimum inhibitor concentration of vancomycin > 2 mcg/mL must be considered. Investigators are now conducting clinical studies of combination therapy with vancomycin and beta-lactam antibiotics for MRSA bacteremia. Several case reports and studies of other combination therapies for persistent MRSA bacteremia have been reported. The important factor to decide the therapeutic duration to treat Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is uncomplicated or complicated. Researchers are investigating treatment courses less than two weeks in patients with uncomplicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. An infectious disease consultation for patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is recommended to improve overall management and outcomes.
