[Tolerance and heteroresistance in Gram-positive microorganisms].

Medicina clinica - 1 Dec 2010

Morosini María Isabel, Cantón Rafael

Abstract excerpt

During the last few years, insufficient efficacy of currently recommended antimicrobial agents has been observed, mainly in the case of glycopeptides, during the treatment of infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, even if these isolates show MIC values within the susceptible range. The phenomena associated with this observation are tolerance (a genetic event in which a bactericidal...
