ABSTRACT
Purpose@#This study aimed to provide compelling evidence of anti-staphylococcal beta-lactam use for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (MSSA BSI). @*Materials and Methods@#We retrospectively collected data on patients with MSSA BSI who were admitted to two academic tertiary-care hospitals from 2010 to 2018. Only patients who received nafcillin, cefazolin, vancomycin, or teicoplanin as definitive therapy were included. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. To perform unbiased comparisons between both treatments, we used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis. @*Results@#A total of 359 patients were divided into two groups based on the definitive therapy used beta-lactams (n=203), including nafcillin or cefazolin; and glycopeptides (n=156), including vancomycin or teicoplanin. In the IPTW analysis, glycopeptides were associated with significantly increased odds of 28-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 3.37; 95% confidence interval, 1.71– 6.61; p<0.001). The rate of primary outcome in prespecified subgroups was largely consistent with the main analysis. @*Conclusion@#Definitive therapy with beta-lactams in patients with MSSA BSI was associated with lower 28-day mortality compared to definitive therapy with glycopeptides.
