Abstract
We compared two periods, before and after systematic implementation of infectious diseases consultation for each Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. Comparing these periods, we showed a significant increase in follow-up blood cultures (from 38% to 85%), transthoracic echocardiography (from 25% to 79%), and administration of appropriate antistaphylococcal agent (from 77% to 96%).
