Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of bloodstream infections and endocarditis. S. aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, and endocarditis is a severe complication.

متن کاملClindamycin therapy of experimental Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis.
The efficacy of clindamycin in the treatment of experimental endocarditis in rabbits was compared with that of nafcillin. Both drugs were administered intramuscularly three times daily for 5 days, clindamycin at doses of 6.25, 12.5, 25, or 50 mg/kg and nafcillin at a dose of 200 mg/kg.

Semisynthetic penicillinase-resistant penicillins are recommended for therapy of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, but evaluation of the efficacy and safety of individual agents has received little attention. At The New York Hospital, 11 heroin addicts and 5 nonaddicts were treated with nafcillin. The 11 addicts did well clinically, but four of the five nonaddicts had severe complications, an...
