Abstract
NaHCO3 responsiveness is a novel phenotype where some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates exhibit significantly lower minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) to oxacillin and/or cefazolin in the presence of NaHCO3. NaHCO3 responsiveness correlated with treatment response to β-lactams in an endocarditis animal model. We investigated whether treatment of NaHCO3-responsive strains with β-lactams was associated with faster clearance of bacteremia. The CAMERA2 trial (Combination Antibiotics for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) randomly assigned participants with MRSA bloodstream infections to standard therapy, or to standard therapy plus an anti-staphylococcal ..
