A Spectrum of Changes Occurs in Peptidoglycan Composition of Glycopeptide-Intermediate Clinical <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of glycopeptide resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is not known with certainty. Because the target of vancomycin is the D-Ala-D-Ala terminus of the stem peptide of the peptidoglycan precursor, by subjecting muropeptides to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, we investigated peptidoglycan obtained from glycopeptide-intermediate S. aureus (GISA) isolates for changes in composition...
