Blood culture is positive when bacteria present in blood, i.e. when there is bacteremia. Infective endocarditis is a complication of staphylococcal aureus bacteremia (SAB).

In toxic shock syndrome (TSS) due to staphylococcus aureus, bacteremia is uncommon (in contrast, bacteremia is common in streptococcal TSS).
