Abstract
Hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis (HVO) caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has increased in recent years. Little information is available regarding the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with HVO caused by MRSA, compared with patients with HVO caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA).
