Information

S. aureus is the second most common germ that occurs in positive blood cultures. Coagulase-negative S.aureus (KNS) is the most common cause of circulatory infection (about 42%) and S.aureus (about 16.5%) the second leading cause of infection. Some strains are resistant to β-lactams, e.g. Methicillin, and therefore therapy should be optimized for MRSA and MSSA infections.
