Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are a leading cause of healthcare- and community-associated infections and remain a serious clinical threat. S. aureus bacteraemia is further complicated by the phenomenon of treatment failure and persistence despite confirmed in vitro...
