Abstract

Encouraged by bacteremia clearance using antistaphylococcal beta-lactams plus carbapenem combination in adults with refractory methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus infection, we present our experience with 2 preterm infants and review 1 previously published case. Noted successful bacteremia clearance in all 3 must be weighed against possible adverse effects associated with carbapenem use.
