Rifampicin-resistant MRSA isolates showed distinct microbiological features in terms of multidrug resistance and a high vancomycin MIC. Although the management of MRSA bacteraemia was not significantly different between the two groups, recurrence was significantly more common in the rifampicin-resistant group. Rifampicin resistance may play a significant role in infection recurrence.
