Answer #1

It has been experimented on MRSA or Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, that an optimised doze of vancomycin has more effects than low doses of the drugs that led to higher survival rate based on the AUCs. The most common success rate was found in bacteremia cases as well as meningitis cases. Methicillin susceptible Staph aureus when treated with vancomycin is more inferior in survival rates. Hence the correct option is : A
A 28-year old male with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus meningitis
