Cefepime for mssa bacteremia
Is cefepime bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
Cefepime is a bactericidal drug that acts by inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefepime has a broad spectrum of in vitro activity that encompasses a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Within bacterial cells, the molecular targets of Cefepime are the penicillin binding proteins (PBP).
How long to treat bacteremia?
●The duration of therapy depends on the etiology of infection. In general, patients with bacteremia with a removable focus of infection may be treated with 14 days of intravenous therapy from the first negative blood culture.
Is MSSA bacteremia contagious?
Quite: Though not as bad as viral respiratory diseases, MRSA is contagious since it is spread by direct contact (skin-to-skin) with a person colonized or infected with the bacteria, or by contact with an inanimate object (a "fomite") that has MRSA on it such as soiled clothing that has come in direct contact with a person with mrsa.
What is a MSSA infection?
Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, or MSSA, is a skin infection that is not resistant to certain antibiotics. MSSA normally presents as pimples, boils, abscesses or infected cuts, but also may cause pneumonia and other serious skin infections.

Until recently, our laboratory used microdilution and PBP2’ latex methods to detect MRSA. In January 2012, the Cepheid SSTI MRSA/MSSA cartridge for use on the GeneXpert platform was added to the laboratory’s test menu. In addition to a routine wound culture, we began to offer a special site culture with PCR for MRSA/MSSA.
