Sustained Circulating Bacterial Deoxyribonucleic Acid Is Associated With Complicated Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia
2019
Background
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bacteremia often requires a long treatment duration with antibiotics to prevent relapse due to the ability of SA to establish reservoirs of infection in sites such as heart and bone. These metastatic sites of infection cannot be serially sampled to monitor the clearance of SA infection. This study aimed to establish a link between persistence of circulating SA deoxyribonucleic acid (SA-DNA) and tissue reservoirs in patients with SA bacteremia.
