Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To further understand the mechanism of intermediate-level glycopeptide resistance, resulting from multiple endogenous mutations, in both laboratory-derived and clinically isolated Staphylococcus aureus. METHODS: Laboratory-derived S. aureus strains were generated under selection using a variety of cell-wall-active antibiotics. Complete sequences of 27 genes, including 17 two-component histidine kinase...
