Comparative Proteomics Analyses Reveal a Potential Biomarker for the Detection of Vancomycin-Intermediate <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Strains
13 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains tend to develop during glycopeptide treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Rapid and effective detection methods for VISA strains are lacking, and mechanisms of resistance are unclear. Here, global comparative proteomic approaches have been used to identify potential biomarkers of intermediate vancomycin resistance....
