Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to examine the predictive value of method-specific vancomycin (VAN) minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) results on treatment outcomes of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. VAN MIC values for MRSA strains were determined using Etest, VITEK-1, MicroScan (MScan) and broth microdilution (BMD), with additional screening for heterogeneous...
