Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular characteristics of induced vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus haemolyticus. Autolytic properties and phenotypic characteristics of passage-selected vancomycin-resistant S. haemolyticus strains were examined. In addition, expression of autolysis-related genes (atl, lrgAB, sarA and lytS) was investigated using the RNase protection assay (RPA). The RPA...
