The treatment was well tolerated and resulted in cure or adequate suppression of infection in 27 of 28 (96%) patients in the serious MSSA infection group, and in 24 of 26 (92%) patients in the cellulitis group. | PubMed URL: | 11481308 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=11481308] | ISSN: | 0305-7453 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/33139 | Type: | Article |
