Uncomplicated Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia Treatment Duration and Outcomes at an Academic Medical Center

© The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America..

We compared outcomes and clinical characteristics of uncomplicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia planned for a 14-day or >14-day course of intravenous antibiotics. Treatment failure was infrequent in both groups (0% and 5%, respectively). Catheter-associated deep vein thrombosis, immunosuppression, and valvular dysfunction were associated with a longer planned duration of therapy.
