Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endogenous development of glycopeptide-intermediate resistance is linked to multiple genetic and phenotypic changes in clinical and laboratory isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. This study evaluated endocytic uptake and intracellular survival of a teicoplanin-resistant derivative of S. aureus in a human epithelial cell line, and compared these to the isogenic teicoplanin-susceptible parent or a...
