Abstract

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses significant therapeutic challenges related to its frequency in clinical infections, innate virulence properties, and propensity for multiantibiotic resistance. MRSA is among the most common causes of endovascular infections, including infective endocarditis (IE). Our objective was to employ transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to evaluate the effect of exebacase, a novel direct lytic agent, in experimental aortic valve MRSA IE.
