Overexpression of Genes of the Cell Wall Stimulon in Clinical Isolates ofStaphylococcus aureusExhibiting Vancomycin-Intermediate-S. aureus-Type Resistance to Vancomycin
20 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Custom-designed gene chips (Affymetrix) were used to determine genetic relatedness and gene expression profiles in Staphylococcus aureus isolates with increasing MICs of vancomycin that were recovered over a period of several weeks from the blood and heart valve of a patient undergoing extensive vancomycin therapy. The isolates were found to be isogenic as determined by the GeneChip based genotyping approach and...
