Vancomycin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates Associated with Inc18-Like <i>vanA</i> Plasmids in Michigan
4 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Five of the seven cases of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) infection identified to date have occurred in southeastern Michigan. VRSA isolates from the four most recent cases (all from Michigan) were characterized. The vanA gene was localized to a single plasmid in each VRSA isolate. The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of chromosomal DNA and the restriction profile of the plasmid...
