Abstract excerpt
We investigated changes in regulatory genes, vraS and graR, during development of vancomycin non-susceptibility in a patient with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus who failed therapy and following in-vitro vancomycin exposure and a subsequent drug-free growth period. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MICs) were determined and genes sequenced at each stage. After 30 days of vancomycin exposure, the...
