Isolates with Low-Level Vancomycin Resistance Associated with Persistent Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Bacteremia
28 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Low-level vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus [VISA] and heterogenous VISA [hVISA]) is increasingly reported and leads to glycopeptide treatment failure. Various phenotypic features have been reported for these isolates, but the genetic changes leading to hVISA and VISA have yet to be clearly determined. We assessed phenotypic, antibiotic resistance, and genomic changes...
