Abstract
ABSTRACT
Emerging infections caused by vancomycin-intermediate
Staphylococcus aureus
(VISA) isolates are more likely to be associated with treatment failures than infections caused by other types of
S. aureus
. We present a case of pacemaker lead infective endocarditis caused by a non-daptomycin-susceptible strain of VISA. After 8 weeks of parenteral telavancin therapy, the patient achieved microbiological and clinical cure.
